This hierarchy of oppression is elastic, at times seeing the Irish, Jewish, homosexuals, and other minority groups as the oppressed, but it has historically been highly linked to race above any other classification. There is not much that can be done to eliminate the biological differences between ethnic groups, but society can change the differences created by our own political and economic systems, and some psychologists even argue that classism can be treated as a mental health issue (Dobbins & Skillings, 2000)

Luxury grocers just south of Mott Haven advertise their willingness to make deliveries anywhere except Mott Haven, and even McDonalds announces home delivery -- with the exception of Mott Haven, according to Kozol.

Property Crimes Cohen, Kluegel, and Land view property crime as a much different type of crime than many other types. Property crime consists of a calculated risk taken by a potential criminal based on a hypothesis about the potential value of a residential property (Cohen, Kluegel, & Land, 1981)
Sacco and Kennedy's perspective on guardianship, income levels and proximity will also be evaluated and compared and contracted with Cohen, Kluegel, and Land's observations. Five Major Risk Factors for Criminal Victimization Many criminologists and psychologists believe that there are a variety of risk factors involved in the criminal victimization process (Farrington & Welsh, 2007)
