In a large Austin inner-city high school, the student density is low because it's in a low-income neighborhood which many families have moved away from. In another high school, located in a small, middle-class Austin suburb, the high school is terribly over-full (it has a very high density) due to an influx of families moving out of the city. Research shows that the low-density, inner-city school has a significantly higher incidence of truancy, violence, and drop-outs. How would John B. Calhoun's study of density, crowding, and deviancy apply to these differences?

▸ It would not apply very well, because this example demonstrates how factors other than density and crowding can explain deviant behavior.

▸ It would show that even though the inner-city school is less crowded, its density is still creating problematic behaviors.

▸ It would illustrate how we cannot study crowding and density separately but must always consider both at once.

▸ It would demonstrate that the effects of crowding and density only occur in low-income areas.
