Mackenzie is familiar with street life. She was a drug dealer who spent time in jail and prison and then cleaned up her act after she was arrested for the third time. When she was in prison, she learned a lot from her fellow inmates. Now, she spends most of her time hanging out with her friends, some of whom are still dealers. This gives her a chance to be "in the know" but not in trouble. Mackenzie has seen with her own eyes how a nice neighborhood can go downhill into disorder and chaos. She is a product of a neighborhood that was once fairly prosperous and now is full of deteriorated housing. What would be one lesson that she has learned from growing up where she did?

A. Neighborhood disorder creates fear.
B. Hot spot policing works in reducing crime.
C. Improving response time reduces crime.
D. Directed policing creates mistrust.
