Given the expansion of residential communities outside the boundaries of the state's major cities, should relevant portions of the arson statute be amended to cover these areas in the same manner as incorporated cities? If yes, how might the
locations where the statute will apply be determined?
• Purpose of limiting portion of arson statute to behavior within incorporated limits of city apparently relates to public safety concerns in densely populated area.
• Residential suburbs can be just as densely populated as areas of a city.
• Thus, risks of danger from fire is the same in these suburbs as in the city.
• Application of statute could be made:
o To specifically identified suburban counties around the major cities.
o By population of county.
o By population density of county.
