COMMUNITY POLICING ABSTRACT As of today, the United States continues to be in the middle of the largest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Cities across America struggle to maintain a financial balance with city budgets and its public service workers and in the world of Law Enforcement can result in higher crime rates, more criminals and less police on the street to counter such crime. This is a recipe for disaster. As crime increase in certain areas (hot spots), police implement different strategies to lower crime. This continues to be a work in progress and leaves researchers to wonder…does the strategy police use work?
Company Q references the high crime-rate areas of the two neighborhoods in which it served as the reason for closing those two stores. However, if you look further into the situation, it appears that Company Q mainly has only itself to blame for those store closings. Company Q cites that the two stores were losing money but gave no indication as to why they were losing money. Were they losing money because it took years to fulfill requests by customers for more health-conscience and organics products? Had those customers already found an alternative store that did provide the requested goods and in turn moved their business?
One major cause of the growing strain between traditional and modern ideologies was the growing gap between socioeconomic classes. Many groups, like the farmers and urban workers, were left out of the middle-class prosperity of the decade. Other groups were culturally excluded. The 1920 census was the first in which more people lived in the cities than on farms. These people insisted on reforms that they felt would return them to “normalcy”, like immigration restrictions and prohibition.
Helen Pearce Page 1 27/10/2013 Describe some of the inequalities on City Road I noticed many inequalities on city road. The one that stood out the most to me was the local shop owner, Colin Butwell with is news agents. He describes how long the business has been in his family and how big brand name companies’ like Tesco’s and Spar have affected his business and others around. He tells us that the spar opened 25years ago but didn’t really affect him, but the Tesco’s opening two blocks from him has significant impact on his shop. He also speaks about not many children buying toys from his shop, as they don’t play with the toys that he used to play with as a child.
The communities were these jobs were lost have been devastated. Families’ lively hoods have been broken, retirement pensions are questionable, and the revenue this company generates for the city in which it resides. According to CNNMoney.com the company has asked for an extension for the liquidation of their inventory until March 31 and they are only waiting for the courts approval. If this does not succeed stakeholders, stockholders, investors, and suppliers would be affected alike. Ethically I found it hard to believe that this happening in the United States and that our economies have become so terrible that the Circuit City’s in Canada are not closing and their profits are up.
The stretch of highway between Victoria and Duncan on Vancouver Island has averaged in claiming at least 2 lives per year caused by its steep and winding turns. There’s no doubt these highway deaths have triggered local government to conduct countless reviews of the highways safety over the years. But are the pending improvements just another waste of taxpayer’s dollars? Why are we not working on alternatives? And in light of an impending natural disaster, is simply widening and adding concrete barriers really the answer, or just another band-aid remedy, only claiming to make the highway safer?
They were also impossible due to the contaminated land. [IMAGE] By 1978 the localised conflicts had turned to wars with Cambodia, and with China in 1979. The continued problems were too much for a large portion of the civilians. Thousands fled the country, most in boats, but also in aircraft, in search for a new life, boarding any vessel until it was dangerously full. These 'boat people' as they were later known, spread to Britain, and even the USA.
The third was to pass new laws so that there were not so many poor people. They were known as the three Rs of relief, recovery and reform. One of the laws set up a program that gave jobs to thousands of men including planting trees, fire fighting and flood control. Flood control would become a huge issue and help bring in hundreds of jobs itself in Tennessee Valley. Tennessee was one of the poorest regions in the country, there were always floods and not many people had electricity.
Bureau of the Census. I then related to the population and how it affected the lack of jobs in America. This interested me because after the gold rush and the foreign miners tax, Chinese workers began to get other job to make money, making the Americans have no jobs cause them to have hatred over the Chinese immigrants.

Such as everything from increased revenue from taxes generated by legal immigrants, to improvements in innovation by a high skilled work force Question: How does immigration policy affect local communities? Answer: In states that adopted anti-immigration laws, such as Houston; local farmers saw a steady decline; 20-50 percent in the month’s following the passing of such laws (Esbenshade & Obzurt, 2007/2008). Landlords in areas that had past the anti-immigration laws found it hard to find renters, due to the ordinances being passed. It not only affected those individuals that were illegal, but the citizens as well. “If landlords’ licenses are revoked for violations, as contemplated by the ordinances, this would affect the renters in all units owned by the landlord” (Esbenshade & Obzurt, 2007/2008).
