The documents provide secondary evidence about crime rates and statistics in the London Borough of Redbridge and greater London area. Some key details:
- Crime rates in Redbridge for 2016-2017 were 36,993 total, with theft and violence against the person being the most prevalent crimes.
- Crime rates have increased significantly over the past 36 years in the UK based on police statistics.
- The highest crime categories in Redbridge from September 2016 to August 2017 were anti-social behavior, violent crime, and vehicle crime.
- Crime tends to peak between mid-April to mid-May and dip between mid-December to mid-January in the UK generally.
- Knife crime is an increasing
Household crimes increased by 5% to a total of 1,5 million incidences of crime while individual crime also increased by 5% to a total of 1,6 incidences, affecting 1,4 million individuals aged 16 and above. Northern Cape had the highest increase in both household and individual crimes. Housebreaking or burglary was the most dominant (54%) crime category among crimes measured by the Victims of Crime Survey (VOCS). An estimated total of 830 thousand incidences of housebreaking occurred in 2017/18, affecting 4,25% of all South African households. Nearly 32% of items stolen during housebreaking were clothes, followed by cellphones (24%) and food (22%).

Analysis of the Factors Affecting Violent Crime Rates in the USDr. Amarjeet Singh
The goal of this study is to analyze the factors affecting violent crime rates in the US. It is hypothesized that an increase in the gun ownership rate tends to increase violent crimes in the US. It is hypothesized that urban areas in the US tend to have more violent crimes than rural areas. An OLS regression model is formulated using cross-sectional data set across 50 states and the District of Columbia for the year 2019. The endogenous variable is the violent crime rates per 100,000 inhabitants across 50 states and the District of Columbia. The independent variables used in the OLS regression model are population density per square mile, unemployment rate, percentage of the population living in poverty, and gun ownership rate. The four exogenous variables that are found to be statistically significant are gun ownership, unemployment rate, population density per square mile, and percentage of population living in property. An attempt is also made to formulate strategies that would help in reducing violent crime rates in the US.

A new report has been released by the University of Chicago, highlighting levels of public sector corruption in U.S. cities and states. It was co-authored by UIC professor and political advisor Dick Simpson and is based on an analysis of public corruption statistics from the Department of Justice. There were a grand total of 19,634 public corruption convictions across the United States over the past decade with 695 public official, federal employees and government contractors convicted in 2018 alone.
The report examined the problem across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, finding that D.C. had the highest number of public corruption offences per 10,000 inhabitants between 1976 and 2018 with 16.79. That can be attributed to several factors including a comparably low population but also because it is the center of national government and hosts the Department of Justice. That means nearly all of the country's federal agencies are housed there with large numbers of government employees who can monitor and investigate potential offences.
Louisiana comes second for corruption convictions per capital with 2.62 per 10,000 inhabitants while Illinois rounds off the top-three with 1.66. Its high position is due to the high number of offences in Chicago which was once again named the most corrupt city in the country.

MEDIA BRIEFING: MINISTER OF POLICE, GENERAL BHEKI CELE GIVES AN UPDATE ON THE LEVELS OF COMPLIANCE AND ADHERENCE TO THE COVID-19 LOCKDOWN REGULATIONS IN THE COUNTRY
The media is full of stories about the threat of cyberattack
on states, companies and individuals. Uber and AirBnB
have fundamentally disrupted long established industries.
Citizens can file tax returns and apply for passports online.
But only a tiny proportion of police forces around the world
offer citizens the ability to report crime online and then to
track the progress of their case.
Yet policing affects all of us. It is a vital element in any
properly functioning society. And it is a basic tenet of
policing that “the police are the public and … the public are
the police”. It must then keep pace with changes in society,
whatever the challenges involved. This paper describes the
current challenges facing police forces and proposes ways
in which Chief Officers should address them.

MEMO
Date: SEPTEMBER 29, 2022
To: CITY OF COLUMBUS MAYOR ANDREW GINTHER
From:
SUBJECT: MEMO & SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE COLUMBUS, OHIO POLICE DEPARTMENT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The accompanying SWOT analysis was developed to identify levels of trust in the CPD, considering the high crime rate in Columbus, Ohio and the violence often connected to it. The youth and community interactions are highlighted as strengths and opportunities, whereas public distrust and crime are highlighted as weaknesses and threats, respectively. So, my suggestions for the CPD are to use crisis professionals in nonviolent situations (such mental health and homeless crises) and to give diversity in hiring top priority.
BACKGROUND
Crime in Columbus, Ohio, is so high that "more than 96% of the other municipalities [in Ohio] have a lower crime rate," making it one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Given the police's efforts to increase public safety, some may question the force's current standing. CPD's credibility has been damaged since the outbreak began as a result of the officers' fatally shooting of unarmed African Americans and the use of tear gas and rubber bullets on hundreds of protesters during the Black Lives Matter Movement (Wedd,2020). The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the CPD because of these misdeeds, looking into their policies, procedures, and any racial prejudices.
SWOT ANALYSIS
After compiling the foregoing information, I developed the SWOT analysis of the CPD in the bellow attached. With the crime rate always on the rise and the public demanding action from law enforcement, one must wonder: do people still have faith in the Columbus Police Department? It is the goal of the SWOT analysis to shed light on the sources of distrust and the means by which trust can be reestablished in those sources. Youth engagement, fundraising prowess, and departmental effectiveness are all areas in which the CPD excels (Wedd,2020). There is a lot of mistrust in the public, and the reputation of executives and the workers are both falling. They have potential in attracting a more diverse workforce and gaining the trust of young people and communities. An increase in violent crime, public discontent, and reluctance on the part of the public to call the police will pose serious challenges for the Columbus Police Department.
RECOMMENDATIONS
First, in situations where police intervention is unnecessary (such as nonviolent mental health crises, suicide threats, and homeless crises), I advocate for the use of trained crisis experts rather than solely police personnel. specially at this time when public faith in law enforcement is low and crime rates are high, deploying police to areas where they are most needed and appreciated can make communities safer overall. In addition, many people think "police officers and police organizations are incapable of repairing themselves" because of policing's racist origins. Additionally, 73% of.
Urbanization is a widespread occurrence across the nation. Urbanism has been affecting the rise in urban crime as a result of societal perception. According to empirical data, crime has risen in metropolitan areas. The study issue is dependent on the specific types of crime that occur in urban settings. | Publisher: International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science (IJRISS)

Student #1
I have chosen to write about the history of data analysis for the Los Angeles Police Department. While I currently reside in Colorado Springs, Colorado and work as a deputy sheriff in Denver, Colorado I grew up in the greater Los Angeles area and I know that they should have a large amount of data to draw from.
Currently the Los Angeles Police Department uses COMPSTAT to compile their data. They have a unit, known as the COMPSTAT unit, whose sole job is to compile crime statistics and analyze the data (Los Angeles Police Department, 2016) COMPSTAT is short for computer statistics. COMPSTAT was developed by Police Commissioner William Bratton in 1994 for use by the New York Police Department. According to the University of Maryland by the year 2000 over a third of police agencies with over 100 officers were utilizing some sort of COMPSTAT like program (University of Maryland, 2015). In 2002 William Bratton became the Chief of Police for the Los Angeles Police Department and brought with him the concept of COMPSTAT. During the first six years of his tenure Los Angeles saw a steady decrease in the cities crime rates thanks largely in part to COMPSTAT policing.
Mean, mode and median play a large part in analyzing criminal data. The mean is the average number. An example of this for crime data analysis would be in neighborhood C there was 14 robberies committed on Monday between 1 and 3 AM, 17 robberies on Tuesday at the same time period and 9 on Wednesday during the same time period. The mean would be 13.3 robberies per night for those 3 nights. Knowing this is high for the city the data could be used to justify extra police presence in Neighborhood C. An example of the mode would be if in the same neighborhood in the same week there were 17 robberies on both Friday and Saturday, 12 on Thursday and 11 on Sunday. The mode would be 17 and it would also be a reason to add extra police presence in the neighborhood until a significant decrease was seen in the amount of robberies taking place. Finally we come to the median. This is simply line the numbers up for the week and take the number that falls in the middle. In the case of the robberies occurring in neighborhood C the number would be 14. All of this data can be combined to show watch commanders and captain’s areas where they should be focusing their officer’s time. If there is a neighborhood that has seen only one or two robberies during the week, it is definitely not in as much need of a heavy police presence as Neighborhood C is.

Beginning in the mid-1990’s, police in New York began to run statistical analysis of the city’s crime reports, arrests and other police activity known as COMPSTAT. Law enforcement agencies since this analysis began, has implemented their own data-driven approaches to tracking and adapting to crime trends. The LAPD is both heavily armed and thoroughly computerized. The Real-Time Analysis and Critical Response Division is its central processor..
# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

2. Metropolitan Police Figures - LR
The Metropolitan Police statistics show that the total
amount of crime in Redbridge for 2016-2017 were
36,993. As we are focusing on the rising crime rates for
our social action project, this is further evidence for us
to prove that crime rates are high. We will need to be
clear in our video that the most prevalent crimes within
Redbridge are theft and handling (14,227) and violence
against the person (11,473). These crimes are what we
will be focusing on mostly, as the most people are
affected, and by using these statistics we can shock
people into being more aware, and create a moral
panic.
When interviewing people for our questionnaire, the results were split almost 50/50 when asked if they feel
safe or not, showing that people do not feel safe within the borough. Once we told them exactly how many
crimes occurred throughout the year, many were shocked and this is yet another reason why we need to
create the social action project, to educate people.
3. Office for National Statistics - BK
Crime rate has increased massively in the
past 36 years. We know this as on the chart
we are able to see that the police back in
1981 recorded a maximum of 2964 crimes in
December. However, now in 2017 the police
have recorded 5157 crimes ending the year in
july. Crime is rising every year and people
need to find ways on stopping it. The worst
date recorded was in the year 2004 where
just over 6000 crimes were recorded. After
2004 crime started to decrease but now crime
has gotten worse and risen again, this needs
to be stopped as it can get worse by the year.
New rules need to be in place to stop crime
from occurring in the UK.
4. Crime + ASB Breakdown for Redbridge Borough Council - LR
This is the Redbridge Crime Statistics breakdown, which
shows the crime rates from September 2016 to August
2017. The highest crime was anti social behaviour, violent
crime and vehicle crime. This tells us that we need to find a
solution to the crimes that are happening, and to help us
do this, we need to enlist the help of the neighbourhood
through our social action project. When we get in touch
with residents of the local neighbourhood, we can find our
what they think need to be done in order to stop these
crimes from occurring in the future. We will also need to be
clear during the video about how high the crime rate is, by
showing these statistics to the audience. Also, with the
population on the rise in Redbridge (296,800 as at 30 June
2015, an increase of 3,800 since 30 June 2014), there is
an increasing chance that more people will become a
victim of crime, further prompting us to find a solution,
before it becomes unmanageable.
5. The Peaks and Dips in Crime Statistics - MW
When researching into other people's investigations
regarding crime, we found out that most crime seemed to
peak between mid April to mid May. Using this possible
unexpected information we can try to discover the means
and the causes for the sudden spike in crime at this time in
the year. If we do so, we may then be able to crack down
on it, trying to decrease the high percentages of crime at
this point in the year. This may be through extra CCTV
systems, more police guarding and protecting citizens and
their societies from crime and other uses of regulations put
in place to try and help reduce the amount of crime during
the spring sector of the year. In contrast, we see a general
dip in the amount of crime between the festive winter
seasons of mid December and mid January. (The only
exception of a crime that peaked at this time, was
burglary. This is most likely to have a correlation to the
festive season.) Using this information we can try and find
out why there seems to be a dip in the amount of crime,
and how the dip may seem to be done. We can then use
this knowledge and some of those ideas used in the end
months of the year to help and try to decrease the amount
of crime in other parts of the year.

6. General Patterns - MW
There are a few general patterns that can be seen in crime statistics, both in London and the London Borough of
Redbridge. As shown on the previous slide, our secondary evidence educated us about the months where there
were high amounts of crime, including those such as April, and May which had even higher crime peaks. Aside
from the annual statistics, The London Borough of Redbridge Council carried out research in June of 2014. Three
years later in the summer of 2017 the same research task was conducted. The use of the three-year research task
was to identify any differences between the first set of data and the second. This data did in fact reveal that, in the
summer of 2014, there were 17 crimes occurring daily, per 1000 residents. In June 2017, a dramatic increase was
seen in these statistics. The newly conducted research showed that 19 crimes were occurring daily, per 1000
residents. These statistics could be due to an increase in the Borough’s population, yet, these numbers are still
way too high, and something must be done. Regulations and laws must be either, put in place or tightened to try to
reduce these figures.
Metropolitan Police Statistics proved that, compared to other areas around London, Redbridge came 11th highest
in terms of the amount of crime reported and detected by the police. Although our crime rates are lower than the
average amount of crime, this placing compared to other boroughs, is again way too high.
7. Where the most crime happens - NA
When researching, we’ve found out that crimes are increasingly a more
common issue, especially knife crimes which are a more common issue in
North London where there are many gang related events that include the use
of knife. Haringey was the capital's knife crime hotspot where 60 stabbings
occurred between 2012 and 2014. London Road in Croydon had the second
highest number of stabbings, with 29 incidents recorded in the same time
period, while Old Kent Road in Southwark was third with 28 reported
stabbings.
In total 9,666 stabbings were recorded across the city in the three year period,
although annual numbers have remained fairly constant, with 3242 incidents
in 2012, 3113 in 2013, and 3311 recorded last year.
This is a clear sign of knife crime being an issue that is not addressed enough
in our opinion as we want to raise awareness.

boroughs for knife crime

8. The guardian report on burglary - NA
Research show that households in parts of Ilford, east
London, suffer the worst rates of burglary in the UK,
according to insurance forms, although the number of
break-ins continues to fall nationally. Analysis of 1.8m
home insurance quotes by Moneysupermarket.com over
the past five years names the IG4 postcode, covering an
area between Redbridge and Gants Hill in east London,
naming them as worst for burglary across the UK.
Alongside those areas, other neighbour areas next to
Redbridge, including Barkingside, Hainault, Clayhall
include one of the worst parts for break-ins.

1-4065279 The Office for National Statistics, which
produced its own figures, largely in line with the Met’s, said
the rise reflects a greater willingness of victims to come
forward.Redbridge borough commander Det Ch Supt Sue
Williams acknowledged this, but said the rise was mainly
down to a crackdown on prostitutes and kerb crawlers.She
told the Recorder: “Where people have been abused in the
past, they have more confidence than ever to come forward.
We have had a few of those – not a lot – but the majority of
the rise will have been through the work we have done to
combat prostitution in the south of the borough.

11. The Newspapers and Tabloids
Newspapers, tabloids, magazines and other forms of traditional media are
excellent and prime examples of secondary evidence regarding crime. As seen
on the right, inserting the word ‘Crime’ into the search engine on both the ‘Ilford
Recorder’ and ‘The Guardian’ websites produce worrying figures. WIthout
scrolling through articles upon articles regarding crime, the first figures you
seen is ‘1-10 of 353’ (Ilford Recorder) and ‘1-10 of 72,110’ (The Guardian).
These initial figures that are seen are horrifying. Each and every one of these
articles are crime related and the number of stories to choose from to read are
extremely high.
After scrolling through the lists of various crime related articles, shocking
stories such as ‘Redbridge man left with ‘serious’ facial injuries being hit with
metal bar in burglary’ and ‘Boy, 17, shot in fast food restaurant in Wood Street,
Walthamstow’ arise. These as well many more pieces of secondary evidence
enforce the importance of trying to lower crime statistics. This is why we have
chosen to centre our social action project around the the high figures of crime.
