Problem
Consider U.S. cities with high violent crime rates over the last five years (e.g., Detroit, MI; Baltimore, MD; Camden, NJ; and many other cities). Choose one city and discuss how functionalism theorists would view the city's crime rate. It would be helpful to conduct an online search for information on crime in the city you choose. Identify one macro theory, influenced by functionalism, that may provide more specific insight into why this city has significant crime when compared to other cities. Peer replies should comment on the application of a macro theory to the chosen city. Share your insights and provide relevant examples.
