The zones
slow above almost correspond with the four zones that were drawn by the Chicago
school of criminology. This school spearheaded by professors Mckay and Shaw postulated
that crime was more likely to occur in inner zone such as zones 1, 2 and 3 and
was less likely to occur in zone 4
inhabited by respected and affluent members of the public. They claimed that
people settled first in zone 1 and 2 and set up industries while people moved
to zone 4 to escape the hurly-burly of the core of the city and live a more
quit life (Mckay and Shaw, 1969). Their statistics were drawn from their study
of Chicago city itself, but is this true of Sapele?
