A recent study conducted by the Urban Development Agency has found that neighborhoods with more public parks tend to have lower crime rates. The report suggests that accessible green spaces can foster community engagement and reduce criminal activity. However, the study did not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the presence of parks and the reduction in crime rates. Critics argue that other factors, such as socioeconomic status and local law enforcement practices, may play a significant role in influencing crime rates.

Based on this report, which of the following options would most strengthen the argument that increased access to public parks leads to lower crime rates?
