The main reason for this was identified to be (D) a sense of personal isolation among Neighbors.

Explanation:

Neighborhood Isolation in Chicago was a prominent factor which affected the citizens to involve in more crimes. In communities and societies without a proper head or resources to organize their own recreation, habits, developmental forums, people started to isolate themselves. This eventually led to a situation where they mentally became isolated too (not only physically). This was also studied by many criminologists after this phase was gradually decreased with a proper governance by imposing rules/fines/regulations and policies. Here, we can cite the example of Social disorganization which answers to the question. A sense of personal isolation from neighbors is the definition of social disorganization where, we are not interacting, not engaging in their community. Option B. A significant level of unemployment and property is also an appropriate option for this. It can also be seen/observed as a reason for an increase in crime rate because people in communities with an influence and employment, were happy and involving themselves well in social interactions. They were involved not in crimes but in developing their society/community.
