This study specifically shows that there is a higher amount of sex offenses committed in neighborhoods in phoenix containing adult businesses as opposed to neighborhoods without them. In this project three study areas were chosen–neighborhoods with adult businesses, and three control areas–neighborhoods without adult businesses which were paired to certain population and land use characteristics. The amount at property crimes, violent crimes, and sex offenses from the year 1978 are compared in each study and control area.
