Senior Geography Project

I imbibe chosen to pick Broadmeadow for the airfield, as whilst I got robbed, many other community members got robbed on the homogeneous day, by the same person. This ara seems relevant to my investigation and should provide some interesting results. The area is also very close to home, so I wouldnt get hold of to go out of my way to get to the place needed for investigating. The collar aims that I have chosen all in all relate sticker to the looting that took place in my home. I want to analyze if this was just proportion or if this is happening across the whole board.I also want to investigate the credential measures flock have jell into place to counter this criminal aactivity. Aims of the musical theme 1. To investigate the trends in Crime Rate over the hold up 5 years 2. To investigate the security measures people have put into place 3. To identify major types of criminal offense Hypotheses 1. Over the last 5 years, I think that the umbrage rate has slowly incr eased, to its peak. On the radio set/tv/computer I hear about different robberies daily. I think this trend will have an affect across all of NSW and Australia. 2. In Broadmeadow, I think that people will have ssimilar security measures as one another.I think this would be because of council regulation and what other people in the neighborhood have recommended. 3. I think that the most parkland form of crime in the Broadmeadow area would be either thieving or break and enter. Due to the large amount of criminal aactivity in the area. Plan of Investigation/Methodology Steps for Research 1. Find topic research if applicable in area 2. Find aims, hypothesize the aims 3. rationale of the topic 4. Finding of ways to collect and provide examples 5. Walk more or less Broadmeadow area and recording security measures 6.Interview police on crime pass judgment/ major types of crime in Broadmeadow 7. Research on the internet the allege findings 8. Analyse information 9. Evaluate findings 10. Does this support or refute the hypotheses? 11. What are the implications of the findings Explanations 1. Whilst walking around the Broadmeadow area, I will record what security measures owiners have on their houses into a table. This will include 50 houses from 3 roadstead Everton Street, Dumaresq Street and Blackall Street. Next I will gather all this data and find the ppercentage of each security measure.Next I will analyse these findings and correspond them to findings on the internet and make an appropriate conclusion either back up or refuting the hypothesis made. 2. I will create an interview establish on the findings of the previous research. These questions will involve finding statistics on crime rates/major types which I can then relate back to the previous research found. Once the data has been recorded, I will break out these findings into two graphs One graph will show the deviation in in crime rates, the other will show major types of crime and the security m easure most affected by this.
