Lomas De Rosa Ines Community Analysis
In mid–February 2015, I began to meet people who belonged to the community of "Lomas de Rosa Inés",
which is a suburb of invasion, located two blocks from my apartment, this community lives in extreme
poverty in wooden houses, and on that site the Government has started a housing plan over 8 years ago and
not finish it leaving it abandoned, so it was invaded by followers of the "Bolivarian revolution" and over
there live many of the members of the "motorized groups" operating in the area where I lived and that are
responsible of committing all sorts of crimes such as robberies, theft to stores and to extort money from
merchants to let them work and are responsible for monitoring the activities of government's opponents and

Moravia Area Partnership Case Study
Community Tool Box: Moravia Area Partnership
In 2011, Moravia Area Partnership or MAP introduced Neighborhood Strategy Team imitative in a direct
response to several shootings and murders occurring the previous year. The Neighborhood Strategy Team
sought to reduce crime rates, violence, as well as establishing community peace in the city of Moravia. This
program primarily achieves their goal using methods identical or similar to key Community psychology
principles and values, such as utilizing resident participation, social justice, Empirical grounding. The
program was deemed a success, as Monrovia has exhibited community peace not seen it has successfully
restored peace in neighborhood given after just a year of implementation. MAP's initiative even won
national rewards such as the Best Neighborhoods Programs awarded by NUSA (Neighborhoods USA).
The value of community involvement and improvement played a vital role in the success of this program.

Historic Value Of The Oregon Historical District
The Oregon Historical District is a twelve city block area in Dayton, Ohio that is registered with the
National Register of Historic Places. This reasonably small area has both commercial and residential land
uses. Though mixed use space, commercial and residential, is seen as a modern phenomenon, this area of
land is quite old for an American city with the original plat recording in 1829. However, the homes in the
area developed over a period of 100 years which allowed for them to development with different
architectural features with the most common being Classic Revival. This different architectural development
could also be seen throughout the business district. Intriguing ideas held within the historic value of the
Oregon Historical District are the ideas of preservation and protection. Instead of requiring its residents to
rehabilitate the homes to original status the requirements are that the home look authentic and have the
appeal of authenticity. The aesthetic nature of the homes should be less museum–like and more home–like
with the intention of preserving the architectural character of the past. In 1975, the Oregon Historical
District ratified a Constitution with the most recent amendment in 2014. This Constitution requires that
residents that live within the twelve block radius of the district be part of the Oregon District Historic
Society. These residents are known as members and pay a yearly membership fee. There is a board of
trustees that consists of nine

Vacant Lot Restoration Case Study
Vacant Lot Restoration Program is a comprehensive plan to specifically address vacant lots by engaging
residents and organizations in their sustainable revitalization by helping underserved, inner–city residents
green their communities and restore vacant lots by creating neighborhood gardens and green spaces,
planting street trees, and establishing tree nurseries (Parks & People Foundation, 2002). These efforts were
initially undertaken in collaboration with the City Department of Recreation and Parks and funded by
Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). The program was officially
established through an agreement between the Parks & People Foundation (PPF) and DHCD to assist
communities' neighborhood Service in managing vacant open space through adopting the lot Program. All
the agenesis will be defined later in this paper. Overall, the Vacant Lot Restoration Program can be described
as "successful" given that 21 of the original 24 community projects selected as part of the program have
accomplished several stages in the restoration process over as many as five semi–annual planting seasons

The residential appraiser is taught how to measure a home, examine it for positive and negative features,

But if you still are not sure, think about some things that will happen if you do the wrong thing.
Being listed in MLS, if that home does end up closing at the inflated price, it will show up as a closed sale in
MLS. When brokers and agents conduct a competitive market analysis of another similar home they want to
list, the inflated price of the property you over appraised will enter into their research and influence the list
price the agent recommends to their seller. I have seen situations where just one inflated sale caused every
new listing in a neighborhood to be priced at the same level. The inflated sale can cause a cascade effect.
Now every home is overpriced because of one inflated sale. The result is buyers faced with less affordability
and/or sellers attempting to sell their homes at asking prices that are not realistic. Buyers, sellers, agents and
even lenders and title companies out there can suffer as a result of this. All because you did not do your duty
and failed to consider the bigger picture.
The appraiser, whether he or she realizes it or not, often acts as a traffic cop. The mere presence of a
policeman on a busy road will cause most sensible drivers to pay greater attention to the rules of the road.

The Impact Of Residential Schools On Communities And Families
The Impact of Residential Schools on Communities & Families When residential schools began the kids
were forcibly taken away, leaving the parents at home alone with no one to look after but each other. This
became a huge issue within the communities because a huge part of First Nations life and culture is to
educate your children, pass on the culture and to take care of them. These parents couldn't do that, which left
them feeling helpless and broken. Children are a huge part of First Nations culture, they are the future of the
indigenous culture, if they are taken out of that cultural bubble at a young age and assimilated they will not
be able to continue passing on the traditional ways of their ancestors. First Nations children are the future of
the Aboriginal culture and its history by taking them away to those residential schools so long ago the
churches/government have disrupted the education they would have received from their parents. Patricia
Angus–Monture explains that First Nations children are the building blocks for the future of First Nations
peoples,
"When children of original ancestry are removed from their homes and communities: The traditional circle
of life is broken. This leads to a breakdown of the family, community, and breaks the bonds of love between
the parents and the child. To constructively set out to break the Circle of Life is destructive and is literally
destroying Native communities and Native cultures" (Angus,1995).

City Market left Downtown Basalt as a competitive hedge in advance of the Willit's development.
Development started only after there was a significant developer concession to write–down a long–term

following commercial development. The high traffic flows between two of Colorado's significant tourist
areas, Glenwood Springs and Aspen, are necessary to support the level of hotel, restaurant and other
development occurring now. It also is important to note that as this commercial development advanced, it
did have an adverse effect on Downtown Basalt. Moreover, Willits created an identity that is separate from
Downtown Basalt.
Riverwalk Development – Edwards
All things considered, it is unlikely that either Castle Valley Ranch location could support the level of

Two Neighborhoods
The convenience of living in an urban or suburban neighborhood can be appealing to many people.
Choosing between areas can sometimes be overwhelming for some individual. People are not only
concerned about the safety of a community, but they are also concerned about the environment. Although
some neighborhoods might look attractive, people should consider the expense that comes with it, and how
commuting will affect them in the long run. Nevertheless, both neighborhoods have their specific
advantages and disadvantages. When choosing between an urban or suburban neighborhood, it is important
for people to research the community, the expense, and convenience ... Show more content on

Another key point is commuting. People who live in the urban community have better access to public
transportation. Citizens can easily get around by walking, taking a bus, and riding the train at a lower cost.
In contrast, owning a home in suburb can be costly for many people. Not only do people have to keep up
with their mortgages, but they sometimes have to pay a yard maintenance fee and their Home Owners
Association (HOA) dues for the up–keeping of the neighborhood which can be very costly. Besides the
home cost, people who live in suburban neighborhoods do have the convenience of traveling in the comfort
of their own vehicle, and they do not deal with the concerns of public transportation. However, they still
have to deal with the cost for long commuting and the wear and tear of the vehicle.
Living in the inner–city and suburban neighborhood can be challenging and beneficial for some individuals,
especially for career opportunity. Many people who live in the urban communities have a better advantage
in finding a job of their choice. Most corporations are located in the inner–city which makes it easier for
people to find a job. Despite the job opportunities in the inner–city, many of these corporations do not
provide parking for their employee which makes it difficult for many individuals. On the other hand,

Reflection Of The Indian Residential Community
What does it mean when, in a room full of young and aspirational leaders, not one individual identifies as
Indigenous? It's a sign of privilege. Privilege is who gets to be around the table, who is invited to the
conversation (Stonehouse, 2017). It's a division of opportunity based on a history of socialized
understandings of difference. But given this overwhelming landscape, Canada hopes to rewrite this history,
"to guide and inspire Aboriginal peoples and Canadians in a process of reconciliation and renewed
relationships that are based on mutual understanding and respect" (CC). This hope is encapsulated in what is
known as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The TRC represents a compilation of accounts that have come from the enduring legacy of Indian
Residential Schools (TRC, 2015). It is important because it calls to action the ways in which non–Aboriginal
people think, perceive history, and understand difference (CC). With its inclusion of 94 calls to action, I am
left wondering if these calls will be answered – and by who. As both LaBoucane and Stonehouse expressed,
it's not just an Indigenous issue but a shared history (2017). This history that is not well understood by many
– including myself. Therefore, I write this reflection with the intent of exploring what my role is in terms of
two areas; thought and action.

Measures There were several measures used in this study. One was informal social control. This was
measured using a five–point Likert scale.
"Residents were asked about the likelihood ('would you say it is very likely, likely, neither likely nor
unlikely, unlikely, or very unlikely') that their neighbors could be counted on to intervene in various ways if
(i) children were skipping school and hanging out on a corner, (ii) children were spray–painting graffiti on a
local building, (iii) children were showing disrespect to an adult, (iv) a fight broke out in front of their
house, and (v) the fire station closes to their home was threatened with budget cuts" (Sampson et al., 1997,
919–920).
The second is social cohesion and trust. Social cohesion and trust was measured by a five–point Likert scale
as well. They were asked how strongly they agree to the following statements:
"people around here are willing to help their neighbors, this a close knit neighborhood, people in this
neighborhood can be trusted, people in the neighborhood generally don't get along with each other and
people in this neighborhood don't share the same values" (Sampson et al., 1997, 920). Violence was also
measured. Violence was measured in three ways. The first was asking the residents how often certain
situations occur in the neighborhood. Examples include a fight when a person used a weapon or if a violent
argument occurred between neighbors. The second way is personal victimization. The

Heterogeneous Limitations
Researchers concluded that there were heterogeneous limitations incorporated in this study. First, sampling
was limited to specific jurisdictions served by one probation office. As a result, there was a lack of
generalizability among the data and findings. Given the community background of the sample, it was
indefinite whether the results were generalizable to other areas and probation offices. Similarly, the limited
sampling jurisdiction restricted the ability to collect comprehensive neighborhood data. Secondly, although
this evaluation procured a randomized treatment design, the inability to implement the Decide Your Time
system as a mechanism for randomizing cases without requiring probationers' consent delayed the data
collection. As a result, limited information (theoretically significant variables) was collected on clients'
educational background, socioeconomic status, rapport with their Probation Officers, severity of drug use,
and prior participation in drug treatment, living arrangements, and personal relationships. This data would

How Residential Schools Impacted The Indigenous Community
In the Indigenous community, when the community is faced with a trauma, it takes seven generations for the
community to heal (Trimble, 2015). People may underestimate how oppressed and how much suffering the
Indigenous communities had to struggle with, and continue to struggle with these issues today. We may
underestimate how severe the situation is because many of us were not taught much about the impact of
colonization on the Indigenous communities in school. There are many myths people may have concerning
Indigenous life experiences, particularly schooling. To address these myths, I would begin by giving a brief
history of residential schools. I would then analyze how residential schools have impacted the indigenous
community and how they continue to affect them today. I would also mention the current issues children on
reserves are facing today regarding school. Lastly, I would mention some of the progress that has been
made. I will use the work of Sefa Dei to demonstrate the importance of community in education regarding
the Indigenous people. Residential schools first started appearing in the 19th century. They were introduced
as a way to mold children into civilized people. Their goal was to eradicate the Indigenous culture and once
they were Canadian citizens, they could be a part of society. In the eyes of the Europeans who colonized,
they were educating these wild beings. Many of the churches took the responsibility of teaching the

Changes due to Urban Renewal in Pyrmont-Ultimo Essay
In 1900, Pyrmont was an important port and industrial area, with a population of almost 30 000 people.
There was a wide range of industries and services present including wharves, dockyards, warehouses,
abattoirs, wool stores, railway yards and even an incinerator for the disposal of Sydney's waste. It was
deemed a working–class suburb with a predominantly Irish/Catholic population. As the income for Pyrmont
was only modest, semi–detached cottages were the most common type of housing present.

sustainability of Australia's cities and Pyrmont–Ultimo was a targeted suburb for urban renewal. There were
several areas that the program aimed to improve including housing, transport, public parks or open spaces
and protection of the environment.
Housing:
Prior to urban renewal, Pyrmont–Ultimo had residents with similar incomes. However to achieve the goal of
social equity plans were made for a mixed, high–density, medium–rise residential area. Approximately 7500
new dwellings have been constructed plus the renovation of 1400 existing dwellings. The aim was to cater
for all household types such as families, couples and singles, provide affordable housing for middle to low
income earners, provide residential dwellings with waterfront access and with water and city views, protect
existing housing, retain a socially diverse residential population which includes all income groups, provide
opportunities to live close to places of work and to create a high quality urban environment. The provision
of affordable or public housing was an important aspect to consider in the process. Without some sort of
intervention to provide this affordable housing, the attractiveness of living close to Sydney's CBD would
only be reserved for high income earners as dwellings would be too expensive and rent would be too high.

Negative Essay On Gentrification
Gentrification is the process of renovating an area so that it conforms to middle–class tastes. Low–income
minority neighborhoods are often the targets of gentrification, which makes this subject rather controversial,
and rightly so. Gentrification often has the effect of pushing the native low–income residents out of their
neighborhoods due to rising rent costs and increased cost of living. The process typically starts with young,
educated, artistic, mostly white people beginning to move into predominately low–income minority
neighborhoods, because they are attracted by the low housing costs and low property values compared to the
rest of the city. Lofts are built and music venues are opened along with new bars and restaurants. These new
developments begin to attract more traditional middle and upper–class people, they too are drawn in by the
relatively low property values and begin to buy homes and renovate them. This new influx of people has
caused developers to begin buying and renovating houses in the area to attract more middle and upper–class
people. All the while, the native residents have been having their rents raised to the point that they can no
longer afford to live in their neighborhood anymore. They are forced to relocate and attempt to find more
affordable housing elsewhere. This sad cycle has been repeated countless times in cities across America. As

During the past two decades, the Canadian government acknowledged the implications and has taken

transitional justice in order to facilitate reconciliation with the indigenous community in Canada. Despite the
government's amends, I will argue that the reconciliation efforts were inadequate because the purpose of
these initiatives was merely to draw a line between the past and the present, rather than to restore the
socioeconomic wellbeing of the Aboriginal community that existed before the legacy of Indian residential
schools. Indian Residential Schools were a network of boarding schools that were run conjunctionally by the
Canadian government under the administration of the church. Residential schools were founded in 1867 and
lasted up until the late 1990's. There were about 130 schools with around 150,000 children. The purpose of
these schools was to "kill the Indian in the child;" Indian children were forcibly taken from their homes and
placed in these boarding schools where they were forced to assimilate to the settler Canadian culture.
Children were subject to physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and as a result, mortality rates were as high

The Healing Circle Is Valuable Technique
The healing circle is valuable technique used within Aboriginal communities to initiate healing through their
own traditional belief systems (Stevenson, 1999). Traditionally, "a sharing of one's journey is a great
teacher, for it acknowledges that the pain, laughter, and love we experience can bring us closer together and
helps us to learn from one another's experiences" (Stevenson, 1999, p.9). Moreover, Aboriginal peoples
created the healing circle to help each other learn by personal experiences, and to ensure the community
says connected to one another. An organization that uses healing circles to connect individuals is called the
Community Holistic Circle Healing. This organization uses healing circles as a response to sexual abuse in

During this type of healing circle, the offence will be discussed as well as how it affected the victim and the
community and the relationship between them and the offender (Justice Education Society, 2016). Not only
does the circle attempt to heal community ties, the circle also focuses on the offender and the fundamental
causes of their offence (Justice Education Society, 2016). Following a healing circle that is directed towards
offenders and victims, a consensus is taken to decide the subsequent steps that should be taken by the
offender to correct the harms caused by their actions (Justice Education Society, 2016). These steps could
include specialized counseling or treatment programs, community work service, potlatch or other traditional
remedies, direct restitution to the victim or community and in some cases, unique and creative solutions
emerge (Justice Education Society, 2016).
Community Holistic Circle Healing is located in Hollow Water, Manitoba with approximately one thousand
people, which is divided into four neighboring communities. The Community Holistic Circle Healing
program was initialed in the early 1980's and became fully initiated in the late 1980's (Government of

Boston City : A Fast Growing Millennial Population
I. Executive Summary
Baltimore has a fast growing millennial population. Partnered with a slowly recovering economy and new
urban energy, there is as a chance to reinvigorate communities in the inner–city of Baltimore. Baltimore
benefits from its proximity to other East Coast cities, which have also experienced growth, while remaining
more affordable. Also Baltimore is willing to give a tax credit for apartment builders, now available
citywide; is an effort to inspire growth of the type of building ideal for the younger population. In addition, a
handful of businesses, such as Pandora Jewelry and the expanding Under Armour, have moved to the city,
serving as another anchor in Baltimore's workforce; which would need more affordable housing, which is
where leasing and land development comes into play. By creating this considered alliance with Baltimore
City, The Hanover Engineering Company which has experience in all aspects of land development,
including residential subdivisions, commercial and industrial development. It will better position Hanover's
residential and land services to obtain more market share as this region of Baltimore continues to grow and
develop its communities.

Land subdivision is the industry that paves the way for construction of buildings. The industry services raw
land and subdivides property into lots for sales to builders or into residential housing. It can also include

North West And West Side Of Toronto
The 45 Kipling route covers the lower and upper west side of Toronto. The route is very close to the edge of
Toronto that borders Mississauga and Brampton. The route starts at Kipling station located at Saint Albans
Road and Kipling Avenue. The end of the 45 Kipling route is located at Steeles Avenue West and Kipling
Avenue. The 45 Kipling route passes through many neighborhoods as well as different areas that serve
different uses. The first and most noticeable of which is the suburban residential area the route begins at. In
this area, there is a number of different types of housing including older single–detached dwellings,
duplexes, triplexes, townhouses, and modern single–detached homes. The area also consists of churches and
schools, but mostly consists of housing. The majority of the area is suburban and hardly resembles a typical
residential neighbourhood within the city of Toronto. It seems to have more in common with a suburb such
as Vaughan. It is not until the route reaches Kipling Avenue and Dixon Road where it starts to feel more like
Toronto, with high rise buildings and retail stores rather than a residential suburb.

What Did The Farms? A History Of Development?
What Happened to the Farms? A History of Development in Possumtown, Piscataway
Piscataway Township, founded in 1666 is one of the oldest English settlements in New Jersey and all of
America. Its strategic placement along the Raritan Valley led to the "later establishment of towns like New
Brunswick, Bound Brook, Somerville... and even Princeton," according to Walter Meuly in his book The
History of Piscataway Township: 1666–1976. Piscataway, which started off as a largely agricultural
community, now embodies the quintessential American suburb. It has a mix of residential, commercial, and
industrial zoning that has made it more metropolitan. It is ideally located between New York and
Philadelphia making it an appealing location for ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
By this time the mechanical age had still not significantly impacted Piscataway. There were about 200
families (40 percent of the town's population) that did not live on farms. Despite this, their main support
system was farm labor and "hand trades" (blacksmithing, carriage–making, and milling). Farming was a
crucial part of Piscataway life; they had not yet been exposed to the technological advances of the day as
much of their labor was still performed by hand. Even though steel plows and chemical fertilizers had been
invented in the earlier 1800s; these were not used in quaint Piscataway. The Civil War caused an economic
boom and bust cycle in Piscataway's farm life. Farm life prospered as inflation caused farmland in
Piscataway to peak at $140 per acre, which is about $2,477 in 2015. After the civil war, land prices then
continued to decline until the 1900s. Also, the expansion of factories and other forms of "urban
employment" caused competition for laborers as factories generally offered better wages. In 1870 the
presence of new railroads brought a new population of people who relied on the train system to get to work.
This provided links between Piscataway and the outside world as farm life began to decline. However,
Piscataway still remained largely rural (Meuly).
By the twentieth century, suburban development began, as more former farmland was developed to create

Praxis Experience In Residential Leadership Community
Living in the Residential Leadership Community during my freshman year at Virginia Tech was an
experience that yielded many results. For one, I developed a holistic leadership philosophy where leadership
is defined as the relationship between a leader and his or her followers in which the two parties are bound by
common values. In this relationship, the two parties are devoted to bringing the other to a higher level of
moral character in the path toward accomplishing group goals. Social change, then, transcends through this
relationship because of such moral change and goal achievement. However, leadership development did not
cease with philosophical discussions concerning the definition and boundaries of leadership. After the
development of our leadership theory, students were asked to partake in a "Praxis Experience," in which
each student was allowed the freedom to explore his or her personal leadership philosophy in the local
community. For my project, I chose to study the leadership styles of public health officials in rural
Appalachia. With this study, I worked closely with countless individuals devoted to changing the face of
Appalachian health, and further developed a language to discuss the health issues plaguing the region.

There is solar energy which is energy that comes from the sun. You can collect solar energy be using solar
panels. Then, the energy can be used to power things. There is wind energy. The wind energy can be
collected by windmills. These windmills can convert wind into energy. There is also hydroelectric energy.
Hydroelectric energy is water flowing that can be turned into energy. Usually, people use dams to store
water inside of a reservoir. All of these types of energy can make electricity using natural resources.
The East Maui Volcano is made of basalt, which is igneous rock. This volcano was formed from magma
erupting from a volcano. Eventually, this volcano will erode because of weathering and turn to sediment.
Sediment is small particles of matter that gets transferred to another place. Solar energy is the energy from
the sun that causes the weather. The weather makes weathering happen which causes rocks to break down.
Next, it will compact and cement to form sedimentary rock. Compacting and cementing is when the rocks
get pushed together to form a rock. Gravity moves the sediment like in rockslides, mudslides, or waterfalls.
Chemical energy helps compact and cement the sediment to form rocks. Then, the rocks will get pulled deep

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Living In The Telluride House
No living situation is perfect. Live alone, and you get more freedom and control over your living space, but
often at a higher cost and without the social aspect of living with other people, while living with roommates
comes with more human connection and the need for constant compromise. Like any other living situation,
life in a small self–governing community like Telluride House has its own unique complement of
advantages of disadvantages. As a current member of the relatively small Women in Science and
Engineering residential community at the University of Michigan, I can say from experience that one of the
most valuable benefits of this living style is the automatic companionship that it affords. Simply living in
this certain space affords every individual an automatic membership in a group, and this shared membership
fosters a sense of community. It's a basis for relationships – even if one member has relatively little in
common with another, the fact that both people live in the same community creates an opportunity to
connect that would likely not exist in the absence of that shared membership.
Another substantial benefit of living in a small, self–governing community is the fact that each person has a
level of impact that would not be possible in a larger community. In a dorm of three hundred people,
allowing that community to self–govern would be chaos, with the conflicts between three hundred different
opinions rendering any final decision virtually impossible.

Public Health : Preventing Avoidable Injuries Essay
Public health is preventing, educating, revealing, communicating and researching in an effort to optimize the
health of a community. Nurses play a critical role in public health by working to prevent avoidable injuries
and accidents. Nurses educate the community by providing information to promote healthy behaviors and a
healthier environment. Statistics and observations also play a critical role in public health by revealing
health discrepancies in communities. Public health involves conducting research that guides best practices.
According to the American Public Health Association, "Public health promotes and protects the health of
people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play" (2016). Overall, public health is a
commitment to improvement.
A windshield survey is "observations of various components of the community, such as housing, open
spaces, transportation, race, ethnicity, restaurants, and stores (Truglio–Londrigan & Lewenson, 2013).
Observations provide subjective knowledge of a neighborhood. The knowledge and data collected can
provide guidance in areas of the neighborhood or community that need improvement and identify areas that
promote health. A windshield survey provides information about a community's determinant of health, or
what is promoted and deterring health in the community. Once determinants of health are identified, that

Theories on Neighborhoods Defining a neighborhood, is a built community or unit that surrounds a person,
place, or object. Neighborhoods can be categorized into three subjects; upper class, middle class, underclass.
With this noted, one theory about neighborhoods is its relations with race and income. As Reynold Farley

independent of a variety of other individual and neighborhood characteristics, leads people to make housing
decisions that, taken together, contribute to persistent patterns of segregation." Continuing this theorem, the

His initial observations revealed that there didn't seem to be such a concept as "over– neighbouring" there.
Instead, the whole village came and went as in and out of each others houses as they pleased. "Neighbours
entered our houses without hesitation... [and] took us under their wings to such an extent that we felt as if
we had been initiated into a large family." (Brandes, cited in Byford, 2009, p. 260). So to Brandes, it must
have felt alien, with no clear boundaries and everyone involved in everyone elses lives to a household
degree. He notes that they seemed to have a "Pathological fear" of privacy (Brandes, cited in Byford, 2009,
p. 260). However, as he spent time there, he came to realise that the village was not so much an extended
family society, but a big brother society fuelled by mistrust. The fences had been removed in order to make
sure that no one was cheating another and that there were no schemes afoot. The villagers were poor, so they
"assumed that if a person could get away with with it, he will engage in almost any activity to further his
own well–being..." (Brandes, cited in Byford, 2009, p. 261). This is an example where perhaps the "fences"
could make living conditions less stressful. Looking at these examples, it is clear to see where the

The Broken Window Model Of Wilson And Keiling
According to http://cebcp.org, "Broken window model focuses on the importance of disorder (e.g., broken
windows) in generating and sustaining more serious crime." Wilson and Kelling are the creator of this
model. They notice that neighborhoods who have high crime rate, consider of "disreputable people". They
are the people who hang out on the corner, the mental ill who pace back and forth up and down the streets,
and those juvenile delinquents that love to pickpocket other people. Most of the communities are low
income minority communities that Wilson and Keiling looked at. Wilson and Keiling does not think that
poverty, racial segregation, and residential mobility and other social issues is not the root causes to high
crime rates, They think to restore order needs to be placed in these community as Nixon will say "Law and
Order". They think the government cannot eliminate the root causes. Policing should be enforce more into
the community to create a safe haven for these communities. By not focusing on social reform, rehabilitation
is too costly and difficult. Wilson said to increase cost of crime by increasing punishment in prison. It will
help measure deterrence, and if it does not work incapacitation. He also the believe that the root causes is
caused by causal fallacy. Wilson and Keiling believed that officers need to go back to the style of
enforcement. They explain that there should be more foot patrol have officers get know the resident while

The program was deemed a success, as Monrovia has exhibited community peace not seen it has successfully restored peace in neighborhood given after just a year of implementation. MAP's initiative even won national rewards such as the Best Neighborhoods Programs awarded by NUSA (Neighborhoods USA).

When MAP first assessed community concerns through an anonymous survey, they realized that their main problems were not simply a lack of strict policing or lack of instilling values. Rather, the problems were community oriented other matters such as lack of proper street lighting, lack of affordable housing, as well as loans to cover house costs. MAP then exhibited distributive justice by meeting with members of the community and discussed allocating resources for many of the problems residents faced.

  • 5. Historic Value Of The Oregon Historical District The Oregon Historical District is a twelve city block area in Dayton, Ohio that is registered with the National Register of Historic Places. This reasonably small area has both commercial and residential land uses. Though mixed use space, commercial and residential, is seen as a modern phenomenon, this area of land is quite old for an American city with the original plat recording in 1829. However, the homes in the area developed over a period of 100 years which allowed for them to development with different architectural features with the most common being Classic Revival. This different architectural development could also be seen throughout the business district. Intriguing ideas held within the historic value of the Oregon Historical District are the ideas of preservation and protection. Instead of requiring its residents to rehabilitate the homes to original status the requirements are that the home look authentic and have the appeal of authenticity. The aesthetic nature of the homes should be less museum–like and more home–like with the intention of preserving the architectural character of the past. In 1975, the Oregon Historical District ratified a Constitution with the most recent amendment in 2014. This Constitution requires that residents that live within the twelve block radius of the district be part of the Oregon District Historic Society. These residents are known as members and pay a yearly membership fee. There is a board of trustees that consists of nine ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. Vacant Lot Restoration Case Study Vacant Lot Restoration Program is a comprehensive plan to specifically address vacant lots by engaging residents and organizations in their sustainable revitalization by helping underserved, inner–city residents green their communities and restore vacant lots by creating neighborhood gardens and green spaces, planting street trees, and establishing tree nurseries (Parks & People Foundation, 2002). These efforts were initially undertaken in collaboration with the City Department of Recreation and Parks and funded by Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). The program was officially established through an agreement between the Parks & People Foundation (PPF) and DHCD to assist communities' neighborhood Service in managing vacant open space through adopting the lot Program. All the agenesis will be defined later in this paper. Overall, the Vacant Lot Restoration Program can be described as "successful" given that 21 of the original 24 community projects selected as part of the program have accomplished several stages in the restoration process over as many as five semi–annual planting seasons (Parks & People Foundation, 2002). It empowers over 350 people in 24, and later 30 different communities establishing ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 9. The Residential Appraiser Is Taught On Our Local Markets,... The residential appraiser is taught how to measure a home, examine it for positive and negative features, take photos, study the neighborhood, seek out comparable sales and listings, and create a report that solves a valuation problem. All of these things primarily involve the technical side of the work. But what about the bigger picture? What we do has a profound effect upon our local markets, communities, and the nation as a whole. We are an important participant in all of these things. You can see it in everyday practice. Is it just a coincidence that a size adjustment of say $30 per square foot seems to be just right in equating two or three comparables? Is that only what the market seems willing to pay (or subtract) for the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... But if you still are not sure, think about some things that will happen if you do the wrong thing. Being listed in MLS, if that home does end up closing at the inflated price, it will show up as a closed sale in MLS. When brokers and agents conduct a competitive market analysis of another similar home they want to list, the inflated price of the property you over appraised will enter into their research and influence the list price the agent recommends to their seller. I have seen situations where just one inflated sale caused every new listing in a neighborhood to be priced at the same level. The inflated sale can cause a cascade effect. Now every home is overpriced because of one inflated sale. The result is buyers faced with less affordability and/or sellers attempting to sell their homes at asking prices that are not realistic. Buyers, sellers, agents and even lenders and title companies out there can suffer as a result of this. All because you did not do your duty and failed to consider the bigger picture. The appraiser, whether he or she realizes it or not, often acts as a traffic cop. The mere presence of a policeman on a busy road will cause most sensible drivers to pay greater attention to the rules of the road. But simple visibility alone is not enough. The cop must be willing to act when necessary. Most traffic laws are enforced in such a way as to allow for at least some degree of noncompliance, such as allowing someone to be ...

  • 11. The Impact Of Residential Schools On Communities And Families The Impact of Residential Schools on Communities & Families When residential schools began the kids were forcibly taken away, leaving the parents at home alone with no one to look after but each other. This became a huge issue within the communities because a huge part of First Nations life and culture is to educate your children, pass on the culture and to take care of them. These parents couldn't do that, which left them feeling helpless and broken. Children are a huge part of First Nations culture, they are the future of the indigenous culture, if they are taken out of that cultural bubble at a young age and assimilated they will not be able to continue passing on the traditional ways of their ancestors. First Nations children are the future of the Aboriginal culture and its history by taking them away to those residential schools so long ago the churches/government have disrupted the education they would have received from their parents. Patricia Angus–Monture explains that First Nations children are the building blocks for the future of First Nations peoples, "When children of original ancestry are removed from their homes and communities: The traditional circle of life is broken. This leads to a breakdown of the family, community, and breaks the bonds of love between the parents and the child. To constructively set out to break the Circle of Life is destructive and is literally destroying Native communities and Native cultures" (Angus,1995). Showing First Nations ...

Middle of Castle Valley There are two general possibilities within Castle Valley. Option A is in the heart of the Castle Valley neighborhood. It is zoned for mixed–use development and allows a substantial amount of commercial square footage. The other option is closer to the Clubhouse Drive–Castle Valley Boulevard intersection, the confluence of the Castle Valley and Lakota neighborhoods. Zoning and the matter of possible entitlements aside, Option B may be a better location for a town center should the community decide that this area would best serve the community long–term. It might have the least traffic and other impacts on the surrounding residential ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... City Market left Downtown Basalt as a competitive hedge in advance of the Willit's development. Development started only after there was a significant developer concession to write–down a long–term lease that attract its initial anchor store, that being Whole Foods. It became the linchpin stimulating the following commercial development. The high traffic flows between two of Colorado's significant tourist areas, Glenwood Springs and Aspen, are necessary to support the level of hotel, restaurant and other development occurring now. It also is important to note that as this commercial development advanced, it did have an adverse effect on Downtown Basalt. Moreover, Willits created an identity that is separate from Downtown Basalt. Riverwalk Development – Edwards All things considered, it is unlikely that either Castle Valley Ranch location could support the level of commercial development now seen in the Willits development or the Riverwalk in Edwards, another project driven by hotel and grocery uses. Significant grocery, hotel and retail development would be difficult to achieve in Castle Valley. The amount of commercial square footage expected might be similar to what can be accommodated in the existing Downtown location, including several restaurants, niche retail, possibly neighborhood day care and community–serving office and ...

Compare and Contrast Essay of Two Neighborhood Patricia Brown Ellen Beckford English 1101 13 February 2013 Two Neighborhoods The convenience of living in an urban or suburban neighborhood can be appealing to many people. Choosing between areas can sometimes be overwhelming for some individual. People are not only concerned about the safety of a community, but they are also concerned about the environment. Although some neighborhoods might look attractive, people should consider the expense that comes with it, and how commuting will affect them in the long run. Nevertheless, both neighborhoods have their specific advantages and disadvantages. When choosing between an urban or suburban neighborhood, it is important for people to research the community, the expense, and convenience ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Another key point is commuting. People who live in the urban community have better access to public transportation. Citizens can easily get around by walking, taking a bus, and riding the train at a lower cost. In contrast, owning a home in suburb can be costly for many people. Not only do people have to keep up with their mortgages, but they sometimes have to pay a yard maintenance fee and their Home Owners Association (HOA) dues for the up–keeping of the neighborhood which can be very costly. Besides the home cost, people who live in suburban neighborhoods do have the convenience of traveling in the comfort of their own vehicle, and they do not deal with the concerns of public transportation. However, they still have to deal with the cost for long commuting and the wear and tear of the vehicle. Living in the inner–city and suburban neighborhood can be challenging and beneficial for some individuals, especially for career opportunity. Many people who live in the urban communities have a better advantage in finding a job of their choice. Most corporations are located in the inner–city which makes it easier for people to find a job. Despite the job opportunities in the inner–city, many of these corporations do not provide parking for their employee which makes it difficult for many individuals. On the other hand, employment in the suburb is very limited and many of the professional jobs are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 19. Reflection Of The Indian Residential Community What does it mean when, in a room full of young and aspirational leaders, not one individual identifies as Indigenous? It's a sign of privilege. Privilege is who gets to be around the table, who is invited to the conversation (Stonehouse, 2017). It's a division of opportunity based on a history of socialized understandings of difference. But given this overwhelming landscape, Canada hopes to rewrite this history, "to guide and inspire Aboriginal peoples and Canadians in a process of reconciliation and renewed relationships that are based on mutual understanding and respect" (CC). This hope is encapsulated in what is known as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The TRC represents a compilation of accounts that have come from the enduring legacy of Indian Residential Schools (TRC, 2015). It is important because it calls to action the ways in which non–Aboriginal people think, perceive history, and understand difference (CC). With its inclusion of 94 calls to action, I am left wondering if these calls will be answered – and by who. As both LaBoucane and Stonehouse expressed, it's not just an Indigenous issue but a shared history (2017). This history that is not well understood by many – including myself. Therefore, I write this reflection with the intent of exploring what my role is in terms of two areas; thought and action. Thought implies the internal conversation I have with myself regarding my own beliefs and those I hold for others. Often, these thoughts are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Neighborhoods and Violent Crime: A Multilevel study of Collective Efficacy Research Question The authors hypothesized in their study that concentrated disadvantage would decrease and residential stability would increase the collective efficacy of a neighborhood. In the study, concentrated disadvantage and residential stability were examined to determine if there is a relationship with interpersonal violence. It was also hypothesized that collective efficacy has some sort of an effect on neighborhood stratification (Sampson et al., 1997). In–depth examination of the data The study examined data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN). They created 847 census tracts to create 343 neighborhood clusters. The ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Measures There were several measures used in this study. One was informal social control. This was measured using a five–point Likert scale. "Residents were asked about the likelihood ('would you say it is very likely, likely, neither likely nor unlikely, unlikely, or very unlikely') that their neighbors could be counted on to intervene in various ways if (i) children were skipping school and hanging out on a corner, (ii) children were spray–painting graffiti on a local building, (iii) children were showing disrespect to an adult, (iv) a fight broke out in front of their house, and (v) the fire station closes to their home was threatened with budget cuts" (Sampson et al., 1997, 919–920). The second is social cohesion and trust. Social cohesion and trust was measured by a five–point Likert scale as well.

First, sampling was limited to specific jurisdictions served by one probation office. As a result, there was a lack of generalizability among the data and findings. Given the community background of the sample, it was indefinite whether the results were generalizable to other areas and probation offices. Similarly, the limited sampling jurisdiction restricted the ability to collect comprehensive neighborhood data. Secondly, although this evaluation procured a randomized treatment design, the inability to implement the Decide Your Time system as a mechanism for randomizing cases without requiring probationers' consent delayed the data collection. As a result, limited information (theoretically significant variables) was collected on clients' educational background, socioeconomic status, rapport with their Probation Officers, severity of drug use, and prior participation in drug treatment, living arrangements, and personal relationships.

How Residential Schools Impacted The Indigenous Community In the Indigenous community, when the community is faced with a trauma, it takes seven generations for the community to heal (Trimble, 2015). People may underestimate how oppressed and how much suffering the Indigenous communities had to struggle with, and continue to struggle with these issues today. We may underestimate how severe the situation is because many of us were not taught much about the impact of colonization on the Indigenous communities in school. There are many myths people may have concerning Indigenous life experiences, particularly schooling. To address these myths, I would begin by giving a brief history of residential schools. I would then analyze how residential schools have impacted the indigenous community and how they continue to affect them today. I would also mention the current issues children on reserves are facing today regarding school. Lastly, I would mention some of the progress that has been made. I will use the work of Sefa Dei to demonstrate the importance of community in education regarding the Indigenous people. Residential schools first started appearing in the 19th century. They were introduced as a way to mold children into civilized people. Their goal was to eradicate the Indigenous culture and once they were Canadian citizens, they could be a part of society. In the eyes of the Europeans who colonized, they were educating these wild beings. Many of the churches took the responsibility of teaching the children. They would teach the ...

There was a wide range of industries and services present including wharves, dockyards, warehouses, abattoirs, wool stores, railway yards and even an incinerator for the disposal of Sydney's waste. It was deemed a working–class suburb with a predominantly Irish/Catholic population. As the income for Pyrmont was only modest, semi–detached cottages were the most common type of housing present.

The major objectives were to improve the economic efficiency, social equity and environmental sustainability of Australia's cities and Pyrmont–Ultimo was a targeted suburb for urban renewal. There were several areas that the program aimed to improve including housing, transport, public parks or open spaces and protection of the environment. Housing: Prior to urban renewal, Pyrmont–Ultimo had residents with similar incomes. However to achieve the goal of social equity plans were made for a mixed, high–density, medium–rise residential area. Approximately 7500 new dwellings have been constructed plus the renovation of 1400 existing dwellings. The aim was to cater for all household types such as families, couples and singles, provide affordable housing for middle to low income earners, provide residential dwellings with waterfront access and with water and city views, protect existing housing, retain a socially diverse residential population which includes all income groups, provide opportunities to live close to places of work and to create a high quality urban environment. The provision of affordable or public housing was an important aspect to consider in the process. Without some sort of intervention to provide this affordable housing, the attractiveness of living close to Sydney's CBD would only be reserved for high income earners as dwellings would be too expensive and rent would be too high. From a social equity point of view it was therefore vital to provide ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 29. Negative Essay On Gentrification Gentrification is the process of renovating an area so that it conforms to middle–class tastes. Low–income minority neighborhoods are often the targets of gentrification, which makes this subject rather controversial, and rightly so. Gentrification often has the effect of pushing the native low–income residents out of their neighborhoods due to rising rent costs and increased cost of living. The process typically starts with young, educated, artistic, mostly white people beginning to move into predominately low–income minority neighborhoods, because they are attracted by the low housing costs and low property values compared to the rest of the city. Lofts are built and music venues are opened along with new bars and restaurants. These new developments begin to attract more traditional middle and upper–class people, they too are drawn in by the relatively low property values and begin to buy homes and renovate them. This new influx of people has caused developers to begin buying and renovating houses in the area to attract more middle and upper–class people. All the while, the native residents have been having their rents raised to the point that they can no longer afford to live in their neighborhood anymore. They are forced to relocate and attempt to find more affordable housing elsewhere. This sad cycle has been repeated countless times in cities across America.

Indian Residential Schools On The Aboriginal Community Essay It is not possible to talk about the lengthy history of colonial settlers and indigenous groups without addressing the devastating effects of Indian residential schools on the Aboriginal community in Canada. During the past two decades, the Canadian government acknowledged the implications and has taken responsibility for the outcomes of these residential schools. Much has been done through the framework of transitional justice in order to facilitate reconciliation with the indigenous community in Canada. Despite the government's amends, I will argue that the reconciliation efforts were inadequate because the purpose of these initiatives was merely to draw a line between the past and the present, rather than to restore the socioeconomic wellbeing of the Aboriginal community that existed before the legacy of Indian residential schools. Indian Residential Schools were a network of boarding schools that were run conjunctionally by the Canadian government under the administration of the church. Residential schools were founded in 1867 and lasted up until the late 1990's. There were about 130 schools with around 150,000 children. The purpose of these schools was to "kill the Indian in the child;" Indian children were forcibly taken from their homes and placed in these boarding schools where they were forced to assimilate to the settler Canadian culture. Children were subject to physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and as a result, mortality rates were as high as 35 to 60 ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

During this type of healing circle, the offence will be discussed as well as how it affected the victim and the community and the relationship between them and the offender (Justice Education Society, 2016). Not only does the circle attempt to heal community ties, the circle also focuses on the offender and the fundamental causes of their offence (Justice Education Society, 2016). Following a healing circle that is directed towards offenders and victims, a consensus is taken to decide the subsequent steps that should be taken by the offender to correct the harms caused by their actions (Justice Education Society, 2016). These steps could include specialized counseling or treatment programs, community work service, potlatch or other traditional remedies, direct restitution to the victim or community and in some cases, unique and creative solutions emerge (Justice Education Society, 2016).

There were about 200 families (40 percent of the town's population) that did not live on farms. Despite this, their main support system was farm labor and "hand trades" (blacksmithing, carriage–making, and milling). Farming was a crucial part of Piscataway life; they had not yet been exposed to the technological advances of the day as much of their labor was still performed by hand. Even though steel plows and chemical fertilizers had been invented in the earlier 1800s; these were not used in quaint Piscataway. The Civil War caused an economic boom and bust cycle in Piscataway's farm life. Farm life prospered as inflation caused farmland in Piscataway to peak at $140 per acre, which is about $2,477 in 2015. After the civil war, land prices then continued to decline until the 1900s. Also, the expansion of factories and other forms of "urban employment" caused competition for laborers as factories generally offered better wages. In 1870 the presence of new railroads brought a new population of people who relied on the train system to get to work. This provided links between Piscataway and the outside world as farm life began to decline. However, Piscataway still remained largely rural (Meuly).

In this relationship, the two parties are devoted to bringing the other to a higher level of moral character in the path toward accomplishing group goals. Social change, then, transcends through this relationship because of such moral change and goal achievement.

Like any other living situation, life in a small self–governing community like Telluride House has its own unique complement of advantages of disadvantages. As a current member of the relatively small Women in Science and Engineering residential community at the University of Michigan, I can say from experience that one of the most valuable benefits of this living style is the automatic companionship that it affords. Simply living in this certain space affords every individual an automatic membership in a group, and this shared membership fosters a sense of community. It's a basis for relationships – even if one member has relatively little in common with another, the fact that both people live in the same community creates an opportunity to connect that would likely not exist in the absence of that shared membership. Another substantial benefit of living in a small, self–governing community is the fact that each person has a level of impact that would not be possible in a larger community.

The knowledge and data collected can provide guidance in areas of the neighborhood or community that need improvement and identify areas that promote health. A windshield survey provides information about a community's determinant of health, or what is promoted and deterring health in the community. Once determinants of health are identified, that information can be used to prioritize community needs and promote action towards resolving those needs. Survey ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Neighborhoods can be categorized into three subjects; upper class, middle class, underclass. With this noted, one theory about neighborhoods is its relations with race and income. As Reynold Farley discussed, " ...the moves people make and assess the extent to which neighborhood racial composition, independent of a variety of other individual and neighborhood characteristics, leads people to make housing decisions that, taken together, contribute to persistent patterns of segregation." Continuing this theorem, the cause and effect of these categories will cause social inequality, discrimination, and lastly social deprivation. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 70. Food Desert Introduction Beverly is one of the most integrated areas in hype–segregated Chicago. Like that of Hyde Park or Rodgers Park, except Beverly obtains this diversity without the presence of a university. As well, "Beverly has retained its reputation as one of Chicago's most stable middle–class residential districts" (Skerrett 2005). Black families during the 1950s and 60s started moving south as there was the historical "white flight", leaving these communities mainly black. Beverly, however, was the expectation, as many black families did not come immediately here (Moore 2014). Demographically today, Beverly is 57% white, 35% black, and 5.6% Hispanic, making it the 15th largest white community in the city of Chicago, with most of these individuals are of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Twenty and going to school at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Nick Simon grew up in Beverly and spends his summers here. His answers were quite different than his mothers. Nick did know what a food desert and food access meant, designating that he has some prior knowledge that will aid in the discussion of the food environment of Beverly. Nick states that the "food environment is great (in Beverly). There are numerous restaurants and grocery stores every couple of miles. It takes minutes to get to a place that sells food". This contrast from his mother's thought may be due to his understanding of what a food desert is. In regards to fast food, Nick says that there are "a ton" and "around 10 (restaurants) within five miles of his house, but not as much as fast food joints". Also in opposition to his mother, Nick was unaware of any farmer's markets. This could be due to the fact that he does not do the family food shopping, but is interesting to note. Demographically, Nick states that "Beverly is approximately 70% Caucasian / 30% African American" which is pretty close to the actual statistic of 57% white and 35% black according to Statistical ...

  • 74. Examine the Argument That “Good Fences Make Good Neighbours”. Examine the argument that "good fences make good neighbours". When using the term "Street", or "Neighbourhood" in context of where we live, it is usually referencing more than just a geographical location, but rather a collective of all the elements that go into making it what it is, especially the people. A good neighbour is someone who understands the socially constructed rules of behaviour that goes with the title, and this essay will be looking at how boundaries, or "fences", that these mostly unwritten rules are based upon, and also, how they are broken and repaired. The argument in the title highlights the fact that no matter how close you are to a neighbour, both physically and personally, there is always a need for privacy. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... His initial observations revealed that there didn't seem to be such a concept as "over– neighbouring" there. Instead, the whole village came and went as in and out of each others houses as they pleased. "Neighbours entered our houses without hesitation... [and] took us under their wings to such an extent that we felt as if we had been initiated into a large family." (Brandes, cited in Byford, 2009, p. 260). So to Brandes, it must have felt alien, with no clear boundaries and everyone involved in everyone elses lives to a household degree. He notes that they seemed to have a "Pathological fear" of privacy (Brandes, cited in Byford, 2009, p. 260). However, as he spent time there, he came to realise that the village was not so much an extended family society, but a big brother society fuelled by mistrust. The fences had been removed in order to make sure that no one was cheating another and that there were no schemes afoot. The villagers were poor, so they "assumed that if a person could get away with with it, he will engage in almost any activity to further his own well–being..." (Brandes, cited in Byford, 2009, p. 261). This is an example where perhaps the "fences" could make living conditions less stressful. Looking at these examples, it is clear to see where the hypothetical (and physical) fences have their uses. According to Erving Goffman, people will behave in a way ...

  • 76. Living In A Residential Community Analysis Living in a residential community seems pretty similar to living in a dorm in college, which was not a problem for me. Pros are being able to meet new people and having a stronger sense of independence. Also, because you're surrounded by other DIS students, everyone is in a similar situation and is probably experiencing the same concerns; it would be nice to have other students to talk with about similar struggles or triumphs. The biggest cons would probably be feeling like you have no time to yourself as well as possibly not interacting enough with Danish locals. As a roommate, I'm a mostly clean and quiet person.

  • 78. The Broken Window Model Of Wilson And Keiling According to http://cebcp.org, "Broken window model focuses on the importance of disorder (e.g., broken windows) in generating and sustaining more serious crime." Wilson and Kelling are the creator of this model. They notice that neighborhoods who have high crime rate, consider of "disreputable people". They are the people who hang out on the corner, the mental ill who pace back and forth up and down the streets, and those juvenile delinquents that love to pickpocket other people. Most of the communities are low income minority communities that Wilson and Keiling looked at. Wilson and Keiling does not think that poverty, racial segregation, and residential mobility and other social issues is not the root causes to high crime rates, They think to restore order needs to be placed in these community as Nixon will say "Law and Order". They think the government cannot eliminate the root causes. Policing should be enforce more into the community to create a safe haven for these communities. By not focusing on social reform, rehabilitation is too costly and difficult. Wilson said to increase cost of crime by increasing punishment in prison. It will help measure deterrence, and if it does not work incapacitation. He also the believe that the root causes is caused by causal fallacy. Wilson and Keiling believed that officers need to go back to the style of enforcement. They explain that there should be more foot patrol have officers get know the resident while maintaining order. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
