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

Gaol plays a significant role in achieving justice for society and victims as it incapacitates the offender so they cannot reoffend, provides a serious punishment for serious offences and keeps dangerous criminals off the streets. However as seen in the study by the Bureau of Crime Statistics Research, outlined in the media article “Prison is an Expensive Way of Encouraging Crime Study Finds” (SMH 22.09.10) gaol is a very expensive form of crime control and may turn prisoners into worse offenders while charging society approximately $260 per day, per prisoner. Gaol also leaves the offender unemployed, with no money to survive when released and it may lead to difficulties finding a job with a criminal record. Therefore it can be seen that gaol plays a varying level of extent in achieving justice for the victim and society and for most offenders it plays a low extent in achieving justice. Another penalty applied during the sentencing process is an Intensive
This is a major problem that we need to solve. The Bliss type of homeless should not be incorporated into the statistics we as a nation gather this is because they are not the true homeless people, they are the lazy and unmotivated people of society.

The mainly problem that always occurring is the physical brutality, which the main goal is to get the police department to enforce and adopt a written policy. However, polices limiting actions will bring most of debate especially from the police officers themselves. “Many feel that their firepower is already too weak to battle the weapons criminals have on the streets, and limiting their legality of gun use will not only endanger them, but the innocent bystanders who must endure the hierarchy gun power creates in the benefit of criminals.” (Bouza, Anthony. 1990) It’s necessary to ask help from the superior officers so that a tolerance of brutality will not establish.
The inmates in the Pelican Bay Prison have committed crimes, such as murder and robberies so they can get what they want without working for it. Many people who come from proof neighborhoods often choose crimes as a means of getting by because they feel that society is not set up to help
Why negative stereotypes have been created for the homeless? Many people in society are afraid to acknowledge the homeless. The homeless represent and bring out fear in many people’s everyday lives and it becomes very convenient to place the homeless in a stereotype to understand and make sense of their place in society.
