The activities of neighborhood teenagers aren't closely monitored. There are no after-school recreational activities or other programs to keep teens engaged. Is this a risk factor or a protective factor?
INCORRECT. (RISK FACTOR is correct)
CORRECT!
As we know from Defining the Problem, crime in this neighborhood occurs between the hours of 3pm and 7pm. Because teens are not closely monitored during these times, this contributes to their risk for crime and violence.
