Research has corroborated that medical costs for humans could be reduced by planting trees in the neighborhood. An investigation showed that neighborhood areas where fewer trees were planted had increased health problems and $374 higher medical costs per year (Preidt, 2022). There remains no doubt that trees are an essential part of our lives and could be considered a medicine with relevance to their benefits. Greener and healthier environment due to trees support the health mechanism of humans, including less stress, improved air quality, and better coping mechanism for the body for people of all ages, creating an amplified effect of positive health outcomes in the neighborhood (Eeden et al., 2022).
Similarly, an increased crime rate in an area adversely affects the neighborhood since people feel unsafe and are afraid of going out, causing greater stress. The unsafe habitat causes them to remain in constant depression, especially those who have children since they have to go to school, and leaving them alone in the playgrounds does not guarantee their safety. Research has also pointed out an interesting fact that females feel more unsafe toward the crime and...…a greater frequency than males (Putrik et al., 2019). It could be for the same reason that if they are mothers, their unsafe feelings would be high, leading to neighborhood unrest and trouble in mind at all times.
However, two types of crime effects affect neighborhood health: objective and subjective. Objective crimes are the actual reported crimes in society, while those subjected are perceived. Self-reported perceptions about the crime might affect each individuals health as perceptions differ from person to person.

Crime Theories and Sociology Crime theories and sociological perspective Crime is an overt omission or action through which a person breaks the law, hence the action is punishable and the person may be convicted in the court of law for the said action.

This process is based on the role that physical evidence plays in the overall investigation and determination of a suspected criminal activity. Notably, the ability for physical evidence to play its role in the overall investigation process is dependent on actions that are taken early enough

Crime On March 9th, 2013, two New York City police officers shot and killed a sixteen-year-old Kimani Gray, and claimed afterward that he had brandished a handgun at them after being told to show his hands (Goodman, 2013). More remarkable than the New York Police Department's killing of a young black male, however, was the outpouring of community grief and anger that followed the shooting. The following Monday, March 11th, saw
