Instead of an estimated decrease in violence, crime and alcohol consumption, it led to an increase in at least violence and crime. When people could not gain access to alcohol the way they were used to, they had to find an alternate source. This led to a huge black market for alcohol and the start for one of America's most infamous gangsters: Al Capone.

Police officers differ from civilians and neighborhood watch members in many ways, though notably in the areas of equipment carried and training. This additional equipment and training give police officers more authority and responsibilities than civilians. Since the police handle community safety as a part of their jobs, civilians should defer to them in all areas of community policing. Civilians and members of the neighborhood watch or volunteer policing agencies may not have the equipment or training that police officers have, but they can still assist law enforcement officials in many ways. The most powerful thing an individual can do to help prevent crime is to be aware of their surroundings and to know what to do in certain situations.
There are also county, regional, and municipal police as well. The surrounding community may have certain expectations that they have of the police, and the individual police departments have their expectations of the officers to whom they oversee.

In actuality, the police spend most of their shift serving their community as peacekeepers as well as helping others. So what drives a sworn police officer to use excessive force? Some argue that discrimination, stereotyping and the environment in which an officer may patrol can contribute to the use of excessive
Immigration was actually a cause for the need of such things. People moved to large cities such as Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York. This caused more children to be on the streets more often. Most of them weren’t supervised as their parents couldn’t afford child care services. Since many of them didn’t have much of a family or supervision, they would often commit theft and other acts of vandalism.
The lack of man power makes gang members and drug dealers more likely to sell drugs and carry weapons and to use them in the open.

After reporting that his car was gone, he waited 15 minutes for a patrol car to arrive, worried that each passing second made it less likely the cops would catch the thief before a successful getaway.
Although mediation is widely used in many areas of American life, few programs offer mediation for citizen complaints against police officers. Mediation is a complex enterprise, and many obstacles can arise in the course of establishing a program. For example, a broad consensus of opinion exists among experts in the field that not all citizen complaints should be mediated, especially use of force complaints. In addition, experienced mediators generally find that citizen complaint cases differ from other kinds of cases they have mediated because of the police officer's inherent power. Moreover, many police officers are unenthusiastic about using mediation to resolve citizen complaints, fearing they may be forced to admit to things they did not do.
There seems to be a problem in actually diagnosing an older person with alcoholism because of the signs and symptoms that usually go along with becoming older just in general.
