Assignment:
Application of the Public Health Model
Read the following: Police have been responding to numerous noise, reckless driving and fight complaints in a commercial area. This area contains a number of restaurants, bars, and several strip malls that attract juveniles and young adults. Within the past week, there have also been three gang-related shootings and seven gas drive-offs.
A majority of the young adults are attracted to the area by a dance club located in one of the strip mall centers and two all-night fast food restaurants. All three locations attract large groups that loiter, drink alcohol, and use drugs in the parking lots. The owners of the shopping centers also complain about thousands of dollars in vandalism and property crime by the loitering youth.
