Abstract

This study aims at identifying the most common aspects of crime in the old neighborhoods from the inhabitants’ perspective. In so doing, we used the descriptive method and chose a random sample of 20 inhabitants from La Cité Columbia in Tedjnanet, Mila, to whom we administered a questionnaire. Findings show that the most common aspects of crime in such neighbors include the gangsters’ crimes, drug dealing and consumption, armed fights, and burning others’ cars.
