Allison,a Young African American Mother of Three,wants to Move Out

Allison,a young African American mother of three,wants to move out of her predominantly black neighborhood because,as she tells people,"It is safer to raise my children in the suburbs." Allison's notions about her neighborhood safety are not matched by arrest rates for her current neighborhood versus the suburb where she desires to move,where violent crime is 30 percent more likely.Allison's reactions demonstrate:

A) that even when crime rates are low in predominantly minority communities,children are better protected by the "eyes on the street" in the suburbs
B) the fear of crime stemming from racial stereotypes does not just impact whites as people in the stereotyped racial and ethnic group can internalize the fears as well
C) that black women are impacted by their identities as blacks and women when it comes to crime;in Allison's case,her racial identity was more important in shaping her perceptions of crime
D) that the media's representation of blacks is the primary,and even only,reason that people largely associated blacks with criminality
