Passage Summary: The author claims that if you do not trust your neighbors, they will stop respecting the law. The proof offered is that places where people lock their doors have more break-ins.

Conclusion: A lack of trust in neighbors causes those neighbors to lose respect for the law.

Reasoning: Data shows that neighborhoods where residents lock their doors (indicating distrust) experience higher rates of burglary (indicating a lack of respect for the law).

Analysis: This argument suffers from a classic correlation-versus-causation error, specifically a potential reversal of cause and effect. It is quite a leap to assume that locking doors causes crime; it is far more likely that a high crime rate causes people to lock their doors. The author also assumes that the burglars are the neighbors themselves, which is a bit like blaming your umbrella for the rain. Look for an answer that highlights this confusion between the cause and the effect.
