Given a dataset from a city showing a steady increase in low-level drug arrests over ten years concentrated in certain neighborhoods, which multi-step sociological imagination approach would best analyze the phenomenon?

Assume that increases in arrests necessarily indicate increases in drug use uniformly across the city without considering enforcement bias or changes in policing policy.

Ignore the spatial and historical data and recommend dismantling the criminal justice system entirely without analyzing patterns or contexts.

Conclude the increase must be due entirely to the moral failures of individuals in those neighborhoods, so policy should focus solely on personal rehabilitation programs.

Identify and map neighborhood-level arrest patterns, examine historical policing practices and changes in law, analyze economic and cultural contexts (e.g., poverty, unemployment, community policing strategies), and evaluate how individual behaviors intersect with structural factors to produce the observed arrest distribution.
