When law enforcement is not present in a community it gives the people in the community the thought that law enforcement does not care what happens to the people in their community. The people in the community that obey the law and are not committing crimes start to develop a sense that their community is not safe because law enforcement is not enforcing the law. Then the people that are involved in criminal activity in the community are able to take over the community because law enforcement does not have a regular presence in the community. In most areas like this when people that live in the community have a problem and they call law enforcement it takes long periods of time for them to get there to solve the problem. A lot of times by the time law enforcement arrive in these areas the perpetrator has already gotten away or the civilian has already taken matters into their own
The way City Road is structured does not reflect its society to a maximum. This results in access to resources not being available to all people. The structure becomes a problem when the buildings and streets are not designed to cater for those who find it difficult to get around, whether due to mobility problems, age or pushing a pram. This includes cobbled streets, steps and uneven pavements which may make some people feel less significant as their access to places is limited. However, Rodney Bernan explains how white strips on bollards have been used to help those with poorer vision, in this case, preventing a psychical difference from becoming an inequality.

They find that shops, cafes and restaurants along the road provide a sense of community and make people feel safe and welcomed throughout the day, although there seems to be a difference in views on the road after night fall, people tend to feel more insecure of the area, become more fearful of walking to and from the local social organisations, many people avoid walking at all costs and would prefer to get a taxi even for very short journeys. T he road is described as rough by members or the community although it has not always been known like this, many people that have lived in the area a long time are saying they used to be able to walk around happily and with no fear but things have changed, the amount of takeaways, bars and restaurants has caused more violence and crime within the area due to attracting a different crowd to what it used too. The local police officer ‘PC Bob Keohane’ feels differently about the area explaining that the road is safe 24hours a day as long as you have your commonsense. The way that people feel regarding an area can be down to their own imagination, their own perspective, what they see when they walk down the street and their own experiences and the history they have within the area. If you walk down a street and you see graffiti, vandalisms or litter you instantly presume that the area is somewhat rough and begin in your minds to become fearful from what
A society we must respect those individual rights. As a manager at Kudler Fine Foods, I would expect that employees and customers are respected and recognized individually. My focus would not be on what may be most beneficial to society or the grocery industry in general, but on what is most beneficial to my internal and external customers. For example, some managers may believe that it is a waste of resources to offer free food samples. When looking at the bottom line, this practice takes an employee away from working the register or counter as well as increases the costs associated with providing goods for no profit.

We want to feel safe again to walk from our homes to the car or from the bus stop home without the fear that someone maybe be watching and waiting to attack. This has also been the case for the return of businesses in the area, many business owner feel adequate lighting in parking area is necessary for survival and growth. Customer will not support businesses with inadequate lighting around the building. Another obvious reason for the streetlights is so that people can see the business as they drive through the neighborhoods or ride the bus.

Introspective Paper Growing up in Brooklyn, NY most believe that you are born at a disadvantage, I believe I am blessed. The people in the community aren’t really on your side and, to people outside of my community give us and label. Some are considered lucky to make it out and the others that don’t are considered to be thugs, gangster, and criminals. My community isn’t the best but it is the start of my legacy and the reason for my motivation to help others in similar situations. Helping people is something I just feel like I have to do and that it is selfish of me not to help a person in need.
Also, neighborhoods in the city do not promote community or a distinct feeling of a belonging simply due to the mass population. This leads many to feel as though they are living amongst strangers. “It means promoting the quality of life in a community, through both political and non-political processes.” (Thomas Ehrlich, 200). Involvement in a civic community is defined by taking an active role in public affairs. Getting involved in public issues and a preparedness to be involved in debates and everyday activities are important aspects of civic engagement.
