ANALYSIS OF POLICE RECORDS OF NORTHWOODS, A MUNICIPALITY NEAR ST. LOUIS, TO DETERMINE WHETHER MOST OF ITS PROBLEMS WERE CAUSED BY ST. LOUIS RESIDENTS.
Abstract
THE HYPOTHESIS THAT A MAJORITY OF THOSE APPREHENDED OR TAKEN INTO CUSTODY CAME FROM THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS WAS NOT SUBSTANTIATED, HOWEVER 53 PERCENT OF THE ADULTS AND 68 PERCENT OF THE JUVENILES TAKEN INTO CUSTODY BY THE NORTHWOODS POLICE DEPARTMENT DID LIVE OUTSIDE THE NORTHWOODS MUNICIPALITY.
