Neighborhood watch groups are examples of what urban theorist Jane Jacobs called: a. big brothers. b. formal social sanctions. c. the eyes and ears of the streets. d. stigmas.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is C. The eyes and ears of the streets

Explanation:

Jane Jacobs was an important sociologist and journalist that focused on studying urban phenomena. This included a broad analysis of urban programs and the way these affect neighborhoods in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities. In this book, Jacobs proposed urban renewal programs had negative effects, and instead other policies including neighbors acting as "the eyes and ears of the streets" should be promoted; this last concept refers to the role of communities to help to the surveillance and general order. According to this, watch groups are from Jane Jacobs' perspective "the eyes and ears of the streets".
