Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incivilities, such as graffiti, littering, and public drunkenness, can contribute to a sense of disorder and lack of social control in a neighborhood, which can eventually lead to higher crime rates. Additionally, these incivilities can also diminish resident perception of the fear of crime, making them feel less safe in their community. Lower victimization rates could only occur if incivilities are effectively addressed and deter potential offenders. However, as the question refers to incivilities in general, this option can be considered incorrect.
