Laura Jackson discusses three spatial scales on the aspects of physical and mental health, and social and cultural vibrancy. What are the three spatial hierarchies of human settlements? Robert Putnam presents 14 indicators of social capital into five categories. Describe each category, including the indicators that comprise it, and explain the role that each plays. Spirn in the article Urban Nature and Human Design poses the following questions: · Does nature influence human development, or is man the sole architect of the environment in which he lives? · Should man seek to coexist with nature or to dominate nature? · Does man exist within nature or apart from it? Based on the readings, how would you go about answering these questions. Do you think human purpose has come at the expense of environmental degradation? What do we mean by “garden cities?” How does this approach differ from the traditional form of cities? In Urban Nature and Human Design, Lynch argues for a “good city” form. What does he mean by this, and what are the characteristics of a “good city”? Discuss the various factors of city design, one factor being socio-economic environments. What does the author mean by this? Explain. Wachs argues that preferences for low-density living and a comprehensive highway program lead to urban sprawl. But he argues that regional rapid transit plans failed to gain acceptance. Why do you think this is the case? After reading Wachs’s article, what factors and values do you think have played a role in the adaption of single-vehicle use rather than public transportation? How can we change the behavior of citizens to become more willing to use mass transit? Community Development covers range of goals and activities. Name each one and explain in details. What are the origins of the urban renewal? What were some of the challenges and realities? What are the differences between community development vs. urban renewal approach? What role does housing play in relation to community development? What are Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs)? What are the implications for the municipalities? What factors have played a role in the federal, state, and local governments’ involvement in local economic development efforts? What strategies do communities/community economic development agencies rely on to promote their economic growth? What are some of the pitfalls of these reliances? What are the systematic approaches to economic development planning? What are some of the reasons for growth management? Describe and explain each. What are some of the challenges with local growth management programs? What are different ways that one can define “smart-growth?” What are some of the issues and concerns that proponents of smart growth advocate for? Discuss three pillars of sustainability and its impact and challenges on building a sustainable communities. Fordism and Post Fordism and its impact on cities. What were characteri.

Law enforcement in America has seen drastic changes over the past one hundred years, from the educational requirements of officers to the interpretation of the bill of rights. Law enforcement officers today are expected to perform their duties at a very high level of professionalism and morality. Unfortunately, when officers don’t perform at this high level it is their commanders who ultimately may be held responsible for their actions. Use your textbook, the Internet, and / or Strayer library to research credible sources on the aforementioned issues as they relate to law enforcement operations and management. Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you: Examine the higher (postsecondary education) requirements that police hiring agencies have for potential candidates. Support or critique the requirement that officers possess such an education. Compare and contrast the fundamental differences between arrest and searches and seizures conducted with and without warrants. Provide a rationale for why these areas are important as they relate to the Bill of Rights and Fourth Amendment guarantees. Compare and contrast the main ways in which Packard’s crime-control model and the due process model differ in the matter of police ethics. Provide your opinion on which of the two (2) approaches lends itself to the possibility of ethical violations in law enforcement? Hypothesize two (2) situations where police supervisors may be held criminally liable for their officers’ misconduct. Use at least four (4) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: Illustrate the constraints on the police in democratic societies to include personal issues and practices, the rule of law, general principles of accountability, ethics, and civil liability. Assess management and leadership challenges in police organizations and recommend solutions that foster an ethical work environment. Use technology and information resources to research issues in law enforcement operations and management. Write clearly and concisely about law enforcement operations and management using proper writing mechanics. .

Lawrence Bodine is employed by Baylor Health Systems. During the month of June, Lawrence worked 195 hours. 15 of these hours were overtime, and were required to be paid at 150% of the normal hourly rate. Lawrence's hourly rate is $12. Lawrence is single, and had $400 of federal income tax withheld from his pay. Baylor is in a state without an income tax. Lawrence's pay is subject to social security taxes at an (assumed) 6.5% rate and Medicare/Medicaid at an (assumed) 1.5% rate. He has not exceeded the annual base for social security taxes. Baylor pays for workers' compensation insurance at a 4% rate. None of this cost is paid by the employee. Baylor provides its employees with health care insurance, and pays 90% of the $500 per employee monthly premium. The other 10% is paid by employees via payroll withholdings. Lawrence participates in a tax-sheltered deferred savings plan and has 8% of his gross pay withheld each month. Baylor Health Systems provides a 75% matching contribution. In other words, for every dollar that Lawrence saves, Baylor will contribute an additional 75 cents. Baylor's payroll is subject to federal (0.5%) and state (1.5%) unemployment taxes on each employee's gross pay, up to $8,000 per year. Lawrence had $6,000 of gross earnings in the months prior to June. Lawrence participates in the Community Chest fund drive each month, via a $25 contribution that is withheld from his pay.

“ Leadership and decision making are influenced by the culture of the society in which an individual operates. Cultures vary by country and sometimes within a country. Government managers normally conform to their countries' culture, and their decision making naturally reflects this culture. However, some government managers are assigned tasks in other countries. Diplomats are an example. International IGOs and NGOs operate in different cultures and are often staffed by managers from different countries. Answer the following questions Why must Public-sector managers on international assignments understand the way local culture affects leadership and decision making and the way it influences people within their organization?” Provide specifics of how misunderstanding certain cultural aspects in a particular country could have adverse consequences? Must pick a specific country other than J apan, China, France or Ghana with about 400 word count and references .

LASA 2: Analyzing a Social Policy In this course, you have learned that social policies are formulated to solve social problems considered important by a mass of voters, media, and political actors. Social policy is but one solution to the problem—not necessarily the most rational, effective, or socially just. Social policies are human creations and, as such, can be changed. In this paper you will analyze a social policy as a tool for social justice. Research one social welfare policy using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Analyze the policy and address the following: The social problem addressed by the policy What is/are the problem/s to be solved in the most fundamental terms? What is the history of the problem/s in the United States? What are the various theories about the causes of the problem/s? Based on this, what do you think is/are the most important causes/s of the problem/s? The policy objectives, value premises, expectation, and target populations Policy objectives—overt and covert objectives: What are the stated objectives of the policy? In your judgment, what are the covert objectives of the policy? What are the values underlying the policy objectives? What values are revealed by the overt and covert objectives? What did the policymakers expect would be the result of the policy? Target segments of the population at whom policy is aimed: Discuss the direct target of the policy in terms of size and other demographic characteristics. Who are the indirect targets of the policy? Effects of the policy Intended effects: What effects did the lawmakers intend? Unintended effects: What effects did the lawmakers not foresee? Distinguish between short-range (less than five years) and long-range (over five years) effects of the policy. Implications of the Policy Changes in the distribution of material resources: Are there any changes to the distribution of material resources, including income and other tangible benefits, as a result of the policy for direct or indirect target groups? Changes in distribution of services, rights, and statuses: Are there any changes in services, rights, or statuses as a result of the policy? Alternative Policies What alternative policy/policies would more effectively address the social problem discussed in the policy analysis while advancing social justice? Write a 4–6-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Make sure to include research in addition to the textbook from credible, scholarly sources. .
