“Houston 101: summer of the Candy Man” from the houstonpress.com and “Roy Morales: Crime a major concern for Houstonians” from thedailycougar.com were two articles that jumped out at me. They sparked an interest because being a student who lives one block down from Scott Street; the street with the highest murder rate in the US, there seems to be a growing concern for crimes in the city of Houston. Even the Candy Man’s mass murders took place many years ago, the idea that they are even bringing this ups is to get people more concerned over crimes in Houston. Even Roy Morales, who is running for mayor in the next election, stresses his concern for Houston’s Crime rate.
Now one possible question I could use is “why is the Houston Police Department doing such a poor job at preventing crimes?” I think this is a great question to raise because it affects everyone in Houston.
In order to research this, I would have to look at the current rates of various crimes, as well as the rates at which officers of the Houston Police Department are apprehending criminals that are breaking those laws. I would probably look into a specific crime such as murder. Then I would have to find out why Houston Police are not apprehending criminals to reported crimes.
Persons that I could interview is Houston Police officers. I could even ask Houston Homicide Investigators what are the popular reasons why they aren’t solving homicides, and what they think should be done to improve that.
