There are many different theories on how to decrease crime rate such as not having the right to bear arms or keeping criminals behind bars for longer periods of time, but there isn’t really one solution to fix the problem. There will obviously always be corruption and crime, it is part of life, but I think that police forces could focus more on violent crimes than they do. We could also have more neighborhood crime watches in town. That way cops could drive around neighborhoods at night to make sure everything looks like it’s in order. This is especially needed in Lancaster City where there are so many random robberies and shootings on the streets.
Armed criminals operate in at least some areas of virtually every jurisdiction. Given this reality, a failure to routinely arm the police gives armed criminals a strong advantage in terms of their ability to threaten and commit violence, without any corresponding risk to themselves. [1] In Bristol in England where police are not routinely armed the deployment of armed police in inner-city areas in 2003 defused gang tensions and
The climate between both cities are undeniably different, but have some similarities. Even though both cities get all four seasons, it feels as if one receives more then the other. For example, Tampa has a summer and a winter just like Philadelphia. Although Philly has hot and muggy summers, Tampa's summers are typically warmer then most states, which is also humid with frequent thunderstorms. Between the two cities, it shows they have difference in climate.
This is a map that is individual to the person where they will have routine routes of where they will walk/drive etc. Brantingham theory suggests that offenders are more likely to operate in areas ‘cognitively known’ to them rather than places they don’t, so can explain patterns such as burglary in certain areas. This theory explains where crimes are more likely to happen, but Clarke’s opportunity theory explains why certain victims are chosen and others aren’t. As it depends if the target is accessible so how easy it is to commit the crime such as no security cameras in a store will probably have a high percentage of stolen goods. Another factor is that it depends on how attractive the target is in that how much will the individual gain from committing the crime or how easily the crime can be implemented such as robbing from a bank will have a high risk factor.
In tiny towns such as most that line the Kern County region poverty is a big play in crime that goes on especially theft, and violent crimes such as sexual assaults. I think the smaller the areas the more crime goes on because of lack of law enforcement. Say you have a town that has six hundred people that town will only have one sheriff and they may not even live there meaning they have more than one town to take care of in which they might be miles and miles apart. The biggest problem with crime in any area is not enough law enforcement involved, the only way to get crime to stop is to report it no matter how little it is so that law enforcement can work on making a plan to lower
Super Teams Professional basketball has caught the attention of more and more millions of fans every year. Kobe’s new and highly improved squad, LeBron’s defending champions, as well as Durant’s hungry runner-ups have formed plenty of talk and gossip about the upcoming season. Some say it brings a new excitement and style to the game, while others envision this as an enormous, undeniable flaw and complain that it takes away from the overall competitiveness and possibility of the underdogs winning. The 2012-2013 season is fast approaching and has caused some to be anxious and others to be disappointed. I believe that there needs to be a reasonable balance of superstars throughout the league creating more level competition, which allows for better and closer games.
How you dress in the summer is far different than the winter. During the winter you normally wear thick and warm clothes. Which it’s appropriate to keep you warm, and not so cold in the freezing temperatures. On the other hand, summer you’ll normally wear shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and bathing suits. These are all clothing that are lightweight, so it makes you feel like your not dying in the treacherous weather.
In conclusion, People in America with legal guns can protect themselves from many criminals that happened in this big country, and they live in a safe place. Private guns ownership should continue to be legal because they intensely reduce crimes. Furthermore, handgun lows reduce the number of attempted crimes because criminals are uncertain which victoms can defend themselves. For instance, when guns are banned, the criminal know that they are the only ones who are armed. Thus, the rates of criminals increase.
This topic is of importance to the people of the United States because there are around 12 million illegal immigrants living and working in this nation. Though these people should not have come illegally into this country, nevertheless now that they are here our economy is more bountiful because of it. More than a third of all non-legal immigrants are working in just three cities; Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. This alone takes out a lot of the argument from people who think that illegal immigrants are stealing their jobs. Furthermore these immigrants are taking whatever jobs they can find, and because of this they are doing some of the most undesired jobs in the nation.
The main idea of the chivalry thesis is this prospect that men are socialised to act in a way more chivalrous – or gentlemanly – toward women so they end up convicting men more than women. Otto Pollak (1950) argued that women’s crimes are less likely to end up in official statistics due to the fact that “men don’t like to accuse or punish women” so the criminal justice system is more lenient toward them. The chivalry thesis can be supported by the work of Graham and Bowling who used self-report studies and found that men still commit more crimes than women although the gap is now smaller. They also found that women are more likely to be cautioned whereas men are more likely to be arrested. Nevertheless, the chivalry thesis also has many criticisms including results from a study carried out in a
