A major portion of her life was spent in the belief that her family fled for political reasons, but it was only until 1997 that she came to know the truth that her family was Jewish and that three of her grandparents were victims of the holocaust. In 1948, her family moved to United States when she was only eleven. (Nolan, 2) America proved to be fortunate for the moving family as immediately after their settlement, School of International Studies at the University of Denver selected her father as Dean. Mainly, her schooling was done at Kent Denver School in Denver. In 1959, she graduated from Wesley College with a B.A.
My Grandmothers father was a tailor and owned two businesses in the town, one of which had an apartment above it, and that is where my Grandmother lived up to the start of the war. Being that my Great-grandfather was in the British Army in a Calvary unit in WWI when the war broke out he understood the Germans. Because he was nervous for the safety of his family he purchased a house outside of town. This was an excellent move because in one nights bombing he lost both businesses. Each night around six o’clock the air raid siren would go off and they would have to go out to a dug out shelter at the end of the garden that her father had built.

A restorative justice process also aims to empower victims to participate effectively in dialogue or mediation with offenders. Victims take an active role in directing the exchange that takes place, as well as defining the responsibilities and obligations of offenders. Offenders are likewise encouraged to participate in this exchange, to understand the harm they have caused to victims, and to take active responsibility for it. This means making efforts on their parts to set things right, to make amends for their violations, by committing to certain obligations, that may come in the form of reparations, restitution, or community work. While fulfilling these obligations may be experienced as painful, the goal is not revenge, but restoration of healthy relationships between individuals and within communities that have been most affected by the crime.
Although Anja Spiegelman, Vladek's late wife and Art's mother, survived Auschwitz and moved to America, she never emotionally escaped the terror of the Holocaust. Art reveals her unfortunate fate during the prologue of Maus on page 13 when he is describing his father's appearance. “He had aged a lot since I saw him last. My mother’s suicide and his two heart attacks had taken their toll” (Speigelman 13). Having this fact introduced at the very beginning of the book sets the eerie mood of false hope that the Holocaust entails – it shows us that Anja left Auschwitz physically alive, but emotionally broken.
Embedding screening and risk assessment processes in family law proceedings is a way to highlight the existence or threat of violence at a time when victims are particularly vulnerable. Professionals within the family law system can then take steps to try to ensure their clients’ safety and ultimately achieve safe outcomes from such proceedings.

This paper reviews literature and research on screening and risk assessment where these practices have been used in health and criminal justice settings to identify and address

Police Brutality In recent years, police actions, particularly police abuse, has come into view of a wide, public and critical eye. While citizens worry about protecting themselves from criminals, it has now been shown that they must also keep a watchful eye on those who are supposed to protect and serve. This paper will discuss the types of police abuse prevalent today, including the use of firearms and receipt of private information. I will also discuss what and how citizens' rights are taken advantage of by police. For these problems, solutions will be discussed, focusing on political reform, education, and citizen review boards.
Community partnerships is another method used by police in order to ensure a good relationship with members of the general public. The way this is done is through a process of consultation and mobilization. Consultaion works by providing citizens with information about crime and what can be done to prevent it. Also this gives citizens the chance to voice their concerns about crime and tell the police what they think about the job they are doing. Mobilization works by giving members of the community a chance to actively deter crime by being involved with such programs as Neighborhood Watch, Operation ID, or Crime Stoppers.
Growing up in Germany my parents divorced when I was just a pre-teen. I switched schools and my mother worked two jobs, supporting our new family of three. She eventually met my step-father and remarried. They had another child and I get along wonderfully with my 13 year younger step-sister, which is not the case with my two year younger sibling. Stress, up-rooting from our hometown, not having a father in my life, all these things I am just starting to realize, affected me in many more ways than I thought.
