Criminology
Criminology Coursework – Assessing the riots... Criminology is focused on the attempt to
understand the meanings involved in social interaction. Theorists have tried to explain sociological
behaviour by looking at the patterns created by individuals that commit crime. The August 2011
riots are pivotal in explaining criminological behaviour since official statistics show that 865
individuals were put in prison by the 9th September 2011 for offences related to the disorder
between 6th and 9th August 2011. This is not to say that others were not involved, but that they have
simply not been identified to date and may never be identified, however the evidence we do have
about the recent riots gives us plenty to talk about. This essay will ... Show more content on

According to Becker deviance is 'a consequence of the application by others of rules and sanctions
to an offender'. Becker came to the conclusion that people are criminalised through the process of
negotiation, known to be social constructionism for example the Crown Prosecution Service may
drop the charge of murder to manslaughter if there is not enough evidence to convict for murder. By
doing this the defendant becomes labelled for the crime of manslaughter even though he may truly
be guilty of murder. By introducing what could be regarded as 'petty' legislation more people will be
labelled criminals, which in turn may lead the offender to act further on this basis. Lemert referred
to this as secondary deviance as when a person is labelled criminal they change their view of
themselves and this then becomes their 'master status'. On the other hand primary deviance is when
someone violates a social code, but does not get labelled. Therefore a person is only labelled a
criminal if he is caught and since ethnic minorities are subject to much more scrutiny than the white
population this puts black people at an automatic disadvantage. Following the inquiry into the death
of Stephen Lawrence it was uncovered that the police are institutionally racist. Institutional racism
can be defined as 'the collective failure of an organisation to provide an appropriate and professional

Using The Single Period Probabilistic Inventory Control Model
Problem R By Group 10: Morgan Gaskin, Ritesh Makwana, Georgia Fleming, Adam Ahmad, Simon
Humroy and Larab Chaudhry Executive Summary: This report shows a solution to our modelling
week problem R which was about maximising the profit of merchandise sold at 'Wrong Directions'
concerts, how many t–shirts/programmes that should be ordered and the price that they should be
sold for. Our solution to this problem was using the single period probabilistic inventory control
model then working out the optimal order quantity for both t–shirts and programmes based on the
total number of people attending the fifteen concerts (43,100). Our assumption was 40% of people
would buy T–shirts (17,240) and 50% would buy programmes (21,550), and our research shows
how much to sell both products for. All calculations can be found in the report. Our recommendation
is that you order 18,462 t–shirts priced at £20 and 23,960 programmes prices at £5 which would
give you an expected profit of 438,179.22. Only limitation that is possible is not all stock will be
sold but having the extra stock will help maximise profit. Introduction: Our group report delves into
our modelling week problem R, where our company has been asked to provide concert merchandise,
including t–shirts and programmes for the new successful band 'Wrong Direction'. This is for their

Jealousy And Insecurity In Andrew Davies's Othello '
The values expressed in texts over time explore concerns that transcend time and the varying
approaches we take in addressing them. William Shakespeare's 1603 play and Andrew Davies 2001
film appropriation of Othello examine security of the known and jealousy in respective mediums to
connect and shape responders and their world. Shakespeare's play introduces these values and
Davies develops them as a means to teach and understand the innate values of society.
Humanity values security in the familiar and presents racism as a justification for the fear of the
Other. Othello's demise in both texts arise from his awareness and insecurity of his race. Other

Late 20th century England was plagued racial division as the concern of skin colour endured. The
1981 Brixton Race Riots alongside the 1993 and 1998 deaths of Stephen Lawrence and Christopher
Alder illuminated the treatment of the black community and the brutal powers of the metropolitan
police force. Davies sought to mirror this turmoil. In the inquiry into Billy Coates death, Davies
utilised fast flashback cuts during the police brutality attack to create a sense of chaos and intensify
the scene. The additional diegetic sounds of the police kicking and Coates screaming together with
the flashing lighting highlights the aggressive and unjust force of the police in stark contrast. It
creates a sense of disgust and unease amongst the modern audience as we now empathise with
marginalised groups. This institutionalised racism is cemented in the Prime Ministers conclusion,
that Othello's promotion was a political "experiment," confirming the surreptitious racism and
prejudices. The public discourse that emerged following the series of racial dividing attacks during
the 90's concluded that the fear of another race was no justification for physical violence. Thus these
texts concurrently reveal racism as an enduring concern to respective societies but the modern

Analysis Of Shakespeare 's Othello, By William Shakespeare
When pairs of texts are considered together, their universal themes and ideas lead to greater
understanding, appreciation and insight of both the old and the new. The texts Othello, William
Shakespeare (1600) and Othello, Geoffrey Sax (2001), ring true for this statement. Despite the
differing contexts and ages, the universal themes of racism and betrayal bring new meaning to each
of the texts. The primary meaning from the juxtaposition of the two is that of the human condition,
and how the problems faced in the 17th century are faced in modern times.
The overarching theme of racial discrimination is bought upon by the differing contexts, is bought

In a different context, Sax play upon the race accepting façade of law enforcement and society as a
whole, however underlying racial prejudices still exist. At the time of setting, the Brixton riots in
London are occurring, exposing the underlying racial intolerances of society as a young black man
is subjected to police brutality and eventually dies. The editing of the film juxtaposes the rioting
scenes with a meeting of police commissioners, talking about racial equality in law enforcement.
This technique conveys disconnect between races. After the speech about law enforcement equality,
the commissioner and Ben Jago (Iago), are filmed talking in private making comments such as "if
only their brains were as bug as their dicks". Further exemplification of racial intolerance is in Jago's
explosive soliloquy punctuated with phrases such as "you stupid patronising ape". Contrary
however, to the play Jago keeps these thoughs to himself, jokingly using racial language, such as
"you clever black bastard". Jago's hiding of his true colours shows the stance of society on racism, a
friendly façade however there is an underlying problem.
It is through the universal theme of racism that a symbiotic relationship between the old and the new

Strengths And Disadvantages Of Social Identity Theory
The social identity theory (SIT) was proposed by Taifel and later on established by Taifel and Turner
(1971) to better understand the intergroup relations and group processes. The SIT is based on the
assumption that people may try to improve their self–image by trying to boost their self–esteem,
based on either personal or social identities that may be caused by either in–groups or out–groups.
Several studies have investigated the social identity theory, including experiments such as the Tajfel
(1970), Howarth (2002), and Cialdini et al. (1976). These studies show how they have demonstrated
the minimal group model created by in–group bias; investigated the tendency to associate one's self
publicly with successful others; and showed how social representations of where you live can affect
the social identity juvenile girls. This essay will evaluate the strengths and limitations of the social
identity theory by using the studies above.

Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984
The police have a range of powers to stop and search people. The most widely used of these is under
Section (s) 1 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) which allows the police to stop
people or vehicles in public places and search them for stolen goods and other articles. However, in
line with most stop and search powers, this only applies where the constable has 'reasonable
suspicion' that these articles will be found.
Prior to PACE, there existed a patchwork quilt of police powers to stop and search people and
vehicles. There were some powers which could be used by constables of any police force in the
country, for example, the power to stop people and search them under s23(2) of the Misuse of Drugs
Act 1971 (MDA). A number of police forces had local powers to stop people and vehicles and
search them for stolen goods, such as that under s66 of the Metropolitan Police Act 1839 (MPA).
Significantly, there were no standard conditions for the exercise of the powers (Fieldman 2002:307).
In total, there were some 16 statutes that gave police powers to stop and search but in other
situations the police lacked the requisite powers they needed. The police claimed that this situation
frequently left them open to risk of civil action for stopping and searching where no power existed
and also criticism for failing to act (Zander 1990:3).
In addition to the above fragmentary powers, police in England and Wales routinely carried out stop

David Jones Accomplishments
David Jones was born in Brixton, London on January 8th, 1947 at 9am. His parents both had
children from prior relationships, making him the only biological child of his parents. He grew up
shy as a kid, (A13), and only really confided himself in one person, his mother's son Terry. He was
Bowie's idol and his inspiration to pursue music (A4). This is what helped make Bowie who he is
today, a Rock and Roll legend who is noteworthy because he was revolutionary in so many ways
regarding music, fashion, and social views. Bowie was revolutionary in music, specifically Rock

Ziggy Stardust was created due to him being inspired by the downfall of his idols and created Ziggy

space (A7). This makes him known for his "...original, much–emulated, gender–bending theatrical
stage presence....", (E2), and his amazing ability to predicting and know what the new and popular
things would be (E3). The evolution of his personas also helped the evolution of fashion as well.
Bowie toured with the wild red mane of hair while wearing scandalous costumes. (E5). "He was
constantly evolving, mutating, and – most important of all– obviously enjoying himself." (B5). If he
did not create the persona Ziggy Stardust the world would be a lot more formal and proper (B4).

How Effective Is Police Stop and Search (Pace Act 1984)?
Title
How effective is police stop and search (PACE act 1984)?
Introduction
This assessment will focus on Section 1 of The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (Stop and
Search powers). I will look at the use of stop and search before the Macpherson report and after the
Macpherson report and compare how it has changed. The use of stop and search powers allow the
police to tackle crime and anti–social behaviour, and to prevent more serious crimes occurring
generally in public places like a Football match. A police officer can ask what you are doing, why
you're in an area and/or where you're going. They also have the power to stop and search you if they
have 'reasonable grounds' to suspect you're carrying; illegal drugs, a weapon, stolen ... Show more

So William Hague called for there to be a rise in the use of Stop and Search. This was evident in
2001 when Mr Hague linked a rise in violent street crime in some areas to a drop in stop and
searches of black people because police officers feared being called racist. However, this can be
argued as many black and Asian people – including Stephen Lawrence's father, Neville, who filed a
complaint after being stopped last year – said they were still being unfairly targeted. And in January
figures from the Home Office showed that the fall in searches was greatest for white suspects with
black people still five times more likely to be stopped in London than white people.
The Equality Act 2010 makes it prohibited for police officers to discriminate against, harass or
victimise any person in relation to 'age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex
and sexual orientation, marriage, civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity when using their
powers on the ground of 'protected characteristics' (Home Office 2011). This shows they have tried
to control the situation of racism in the force and tried to put a stop to it.
However racism within the force goes back decades as before 1984 police were allowed to stop and
search whoever they wanted therefore it became easier and more of a habit to target people who fit
'criminal persona'. This laid back approach to stop and search caused problems because police

What Is The Role Of Baby Farmers In The Victorian Era
Mothers living in the Victorian era of England had many reasons to seek a baby farmer. Baby
farmers used to be women that would care for mothers babies. During this time period in England
birth control was not advanced. It was often times unreliable or not easily obtained making it
common for women to get pregnant. Society would also look down upon women who had children
out of wed lock. These mothers often times struggled financially and typically worked as maids.
Maids were not allowed to bring their children but had to live with their boss. For these reasons
women had to rely on baby farmers, often seen as nurses, to care for their child.

In an interview that she had, she said, "'The Sage of Theare' started because I remembered, or
thought I remembered, a story by Borges being read on the radio, in which a scholar arduously
tracked down a learned man but never quite found him. I started having dreams about it – strange
circular dreams in a strange city where gods took a hand – and the dream person never found the
wise man he was looking for. In order to exorcise the dreams, I wrote the story." Here, the rhetor's
original purpose of writing this story was to get rid of her strange dreams. However, this adds on to
the idea that people are uncomfortable with disorder because her strange dreams deviate from the
norm and she wants it to disappear. This is similar to the story because the gods that live in Theare
hate disorder. Also, because the rhetor wrote this in the time that she did, many events that occurred
during the 1980s in Britain might have influenced the way she wrote this story and why she wrote it.
As mentioned previously, Britain experienced political unrest during this time. There were many
riots sparked by racial tensions, local problems, and poor relations between predominantly black
communities and the police. There was also conflict in prisons as prisoners started a hunger strike to
protest the right to be treated as political prisoners, resulting in 61 deaths. Not only that, economic
recession in Britain during this time resulted in high unemployment rates of up to three million
unemployed citizens. Because Diana Wynne Jones wrote "The Sage of Theare" during this time, the
story reflects some aspects of these events. For example, the world of Theare is crafted to be a
utopian society, a world of order where there is no chaos. The rhetor might have chosen to depict
Theare in this way as a distraction from what is actually going on in the real world. In this fantasy

Case Study On Slip House
Project Title: Slip House
Architect: Carl Turner (Of Carl Turner Architects)
Clients: Carl Turner and Mary Martin

Location: 51A, Lyham Road, Brixton, London, SW2 5DS, UK. The house can also be found
through its coordinates: 51.456711, –0.128318 .
The house was built in a traditional Victorian area in Brixton, but the building itself is far from a
classic Victorian design. Slip House gets its name as it is made up of three simple 'slipped'
orthogonal boxes. This building was chosen because it is recognised as one of the best designed
private houses of 2013, as well as being one of the most eco–friendly, sustainable homes in the UK
to date. Slip House has been the recipient of, and shortlisted for, a number of awards in both 2012
and 2013. What puts it ahead of its time is its mix of energy–efficient credentials, making a highly

he captured the street people of London and that work cemented his reputation as a social

Newlands, John Thomson was the eighth of nine children. He and his family lived in Scotland under

Since Thomson had become an important photographer, he opened a portrait studio in Buckingham
Palace Road, but later moved to Mayfair. In 1881 Queen Victoria appointed him photographer to the
British Royal Family. His work then concentrated on studio portraiture of the High Society in
England. In 1886 he began to instruct explorers at the Royal Geographical Society in the art of
photography so they could document their travels. He retired from his studio in 1910 and spent most
of his time back in Scotland and continued to write for the Royal Geographical Society. He died of a
heart attack at the age of 84 in 1921. Thomson was a very accomplished photographer for his time.
He excelled in landscapes, portraiture, street photography, and architectural photography. His
pictures from the East enlightened the Victorian audience of Britain about the land, culture, and
people of China and South–East Asia. His work in documenting the social conditions of beggars in

How Youths Are Deemed As The Perpetrators Of Today 's...
When the words 'youth' and 'young people' come up there are different connotations that come along
with it, some people may feel very positive towards the youth of today. However, some people feel

Ephebiphobia which is a fear of young people, with 1.5 million Britons considering to move houses
last year and about 1.7 million people not going out after dark to avoid youngsters (Lewis, 2016).
Researchers are fearing that the public are alienating the youth and "A rise in social Paedophobia

Prince Tribute
On April 21, 2016, the American singer and music producer Prince (Prince Rogers Nelson) passed
away. During his eclectic career, he won seven Grammy Awards, an Academy Award for Purple
Rain, and a Golden Globe. More than awards and accolades, though, he was beloved by his millions
of fans. A Prince tribute seemed the natural thing to start at businesses and tourist destinations all
across the country.
The Lowry Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota was lit up in Prince's signature color of
purple.
Saturday Night Live devoted an entire show to playing old clips of Prince's musical appearances and
replaying old skits about Prince.

For his dressing room, he'd request items like hummus, pita bread, trail mix, chips, salsa, veggie
chips. In a song from his Emancipation album, he revealed that he loved Cap'N Crunch with soy
milk.
Those foods aren't exactly gourmet, but you can certain start from that basis and create some
amazing vegan dishes to share with your attendees and a purple dessert. If hosting an event where
the participants sit and eat dinner, some obvious touches such as purple candles, napkins and purple
silk tablecloths will set the tone.
Dance Class Tributes
When it comes to offering dance classes, music may be the first thing you think of. There are many
Prince songs that are extremely well suited to jazz dance, such as "You Got the Look" and
"Batdance". However, keep in mind that not all of Prince's lyrics are appropriate for all ages, so
proceed with caution.
In addition to using music created by Prince for your dance event, you can ask everyone to wear
purple. If your class is made up of children, ask the parents to wear purple as well.
At the end of the event, give everyone a purple balloon to release in honor of Prince's memory. If
you have the extra funds, there are services that will allow you to release doves as well, so that

Compare And Contrast The Orthodox And Revisionist...
This essay will introduce two competing perspectives of policing, they are the orthodox and
revisionist perspectives. This essay will then relate the orthodox and revisionist perspectives to the
themes of lack of structure, industrialisation and finally hostility. It will then discuss whether the
creation of the Metropolitan Police by Sir Robert Peel in 1829 was an effective solution to the
changes within society as well as the challenges brought about through crime and disorder. The
orthodox view is that the Metropolitan Police were, in fact, a rational decision made to adapt to the
needs of the society. They argue that the establishment of the 'new' police was inevitable. The
revisionist view would state that the 'new' police were not a rational decision. They believed that
crime and disorder were not increasing, it was just that the ways of counting crime were largely
different to previously. The revisionists also believe that the new system was in part beneficial for
which to tackle issues that may have occasioned due to the new 'dangerous class' (Monkkonen,
1981, p147). In this essay, there will be reference made to the Brixton Riots in 1981 with a clear
explanation as to how the orthodox and revisionist perspectives relate to modern policing activities.
During the 17 and 18th century the British legal system was incredibly harsh, distributing death
penalties for often minor offences, the aim of this was to deter individuals from committing crime.

The Importance Of Multiculturalism In The UK
Multiculturalism is the view that those cultures, ethnicities and races particularly of minority should
warrant distinct acknowledgment and support of their diverse differences within a dominant culture.
Ideology surrounding multiculturalism ranges from the advocacy of equality to promoting the
preservation of cultural diversity. Policing in the UK has long been stigmatised with regards to race
relations. Procedures for recruitment underwent two major transformations following on from the
Race Relations Act 1961; carried out in the 1980's and early 2000s after official inquires prompted
by a botched police investigation into a racially motivated murder in 1982. Historically, dominated
by white males the UK force was criticised for its sexist and racist culture. The disproportionate
employment of ethnic minorities in police and other public services came to light as a result of the
publication of the Macpherson Report 1999, into the inquiry following Stephen Lawrence's racist
murder. The duties of public authorities to prevent such discrimination was reinforced by the Race
Relations Act 2000 as well as their obligation to promote equality and healthy relations between
different races. Following on from this, all 43 forces between England and Wales were set varying
quotas with regards to increasing recruitment of officers from ethnic minorities. Throughout ...

Examples Of Fate In Brick Lane
Fate, fate decides the outcome of every individual's destiny, be it good or bad. There are many
debates on whether 'fate' is something we could control or not, and this theme is heavily explored in
Brick Lane. From the very beginning of the film, we are presented with the suicide of Amma
(mother), mother of both Nazneen and her sister, Hasina. Their mother, teaches them that they "must
not run from fate. What cannot be changed must be borne. The test of life is to endure", to which
Nazneen takes to heart. Nazneen is soon given away in arranged marriage which she does not
protest at all. While Nazneen is in London with her new husband, she worries about Hasina but she
often wonders if perhaps Hasina was fated to the life she has "chosen". We ... Show more content on

At this point we can observe the transition of being a complacent daughter and wife to an
independent woman who makes a difference in her own life. This is a transition of being held down
by the notion of 'Fate' to empowering one's self. In the film, we can see the notion of self–
empowerment in Nazneen when she was confronted by Mrs.Islam, a crook who lends money but
ask for more in return. After many denials and avoiding Mrs.Islam, Nazneen finally lashes out on
Mrs. Islam and confronted her dishonest way of business by asking her to swear on the Quran that
she is not cheating her customer, to which she could not swear. This a prime example of self–
empowerment, if Nazneen didn't take charge and spoke up, her household would always be in
constant disturbance due to Mrs.Islam. As a result of self–empowerment, we see at the end of the
movie that Nazneen is much more happier after deciding her own fate. Just like the real world, every
individual has the capability and power to dictate their own fate. Similar to that of divorce or
euthanasia, there might be people who agree and some who disagrees with the practice, but at the

Mobile Payments will similarly experience this trend. The MIT Technology Review recently created
a report, entitled "The Future of Money," which looks at the overall industry and factors leading to
greater digitization of payments. Mobile phones have been a catalyst for much of the change, but it
is important to remember that it is still very much a cash–based world, as estimates show that 85%
of consumer transactions worldwide are still done with paper bills and metal coins. With 2.5 billion
people unbanked, it is clear banks have not been able to appeal to or service this segment in a cost–
effective manner using today's cash–based and card–based payment services. New digital and
mobile technologies provide a potential solution which can lead to much greater financial inclusion.
To reach high adoption and usage, consumers need a technology that 's secure and convenient. Some
of the advantages of digital payments linked to a smartphone include better security because the
merchant is never shown your payment information, improved convenience and the ability to
actually locate a smartphone if it is lost or stolen.

Many of the people who lived in Britain between 1948 to 1960had high expectations, which was
soon disillusioned by the racial discrimination they had faced. It affected them in every aspect in
life, from finding a job, to finding a home to live. After 1945, there was a shortage of houses as well
as labours, due to the war. It was at that specific point when immigrants first experienced the colour

Mass Immigration And Its Impact On The United States
In Britain, since the 1960's, there was mass immigration from many countries around the globe,
including the majority of people coming from South Asia, Africa and the West Indies. This mass
immigration clearly had a direct impact on the transformation of London and turned it into the
'multi–ethnic city' that we have today. However, it is debatable whether this entire process of large
scale immigration can be considered a 'smooth process' due to the fact that there were many
challenges that immigrants had to face upon arrival in Britain, as well as well as the backlash of
non–immigrants who were not particularly tolerant towards those who belonged to an ethnicity
different to their own. Evidence shows that there were many examples of segregation,
discrimination and bigotry in London as well as a division in political opinions too. On the other
hand, although there were many issues and tensions arising during this period, it can also be seen
that in some ways there were many positive outcomes as a result of the large scale of immigration.
One of the many ways that this can be seen is through the gradual change in many people's attitudes
towards different ethnic backgrounds, a beginning of integration between people belonging to
different ethnic backgrounds and an increasing sense of community between the people of London.
Whilst analysing the scale of immigration since the 1960's and transformation of London into a

Issues In Gang Culture
Pursuing the discussion of gang culture further, young people often embrace the gang life as a sense
of belonging (Regan, 2011, p.55). Another proposing influential factor may be family for young
people; some families have been experiencing breakdowns, hence resulting certain youths to grasp
the opportunity of joining gangs. Willow (1999, cited in Smith, 2007, p.198) who argues that young
people are 'pressured' into joining gangs, due to having negative issues within family homes – in
evidence of this point, Willow (1999) states that "Some people in gangs get involved because they
could have a bad life at home" (Smith, p.198, 2007) That being said, broken homes and a lack of

Poverty also plays a huge factor in family homes in Great Britain (statistics in John Pitts book, p.59
– reference), as many parents are left powerless in terms of controlling their beloved ones to keep
themselves away from gangs. This is generally because of lone parents having to work extremely
long hours, which for them, may be considered to be compulsory (Regan, 2011, p.55). With the
absenteeism of a non–stable family unit, in all likelihood being away for huge periods of time, it can
lead young people to join gangs for a place to belong as it may ultimately be the only path in which
they can follow. It is stated that, at times it can be very difficult for a young individual to fend for
themselves, and eventually it may come to a point where the outcome of joining a gang just
"becomes a lifeline which plugs the gap left by their absent parents" (Regan, 2011, p.55), this may
propose the fact that these young people just want a sense of belonging, and with the affiliation of
gangs it can also offer success and protection (Pitts, 2008,

The Hippies And The Movement Of The Hippie Movement In San...
During the early 1960s the hippies began a movement for the youth in San Francisco; it was a
movement that developed very rapidly around the world. It consisted of a group of people who had
an opposition against the political and social standards. This group of people chose to favor peace,
love and freedom as their way of living. The hippies had their own standards of living, they rejected
institutions and were always criticizing the value of the middle class. Many of them were usually all
about the planet and vegetarians, they also promoted the use of mind blowing drugs. The hippies
created their own communities, listen to heavy rock, embraced sexual revolution, and used drugs to
adventure different stages of consciousness.
1. Scott McKenzie – "San Francisco" (1967)
Scott McKenzie was in a group called The Journeymen, with whom he performed the song "San
Francisco". This was one of the big Hippie hits that took place during the summer of 1967. That
summer was known as, "The Summer of Love". This music became popular among the growing
peace activists and folkies. McKenzie mentions in his song that if you go to San Francisco be sure to
wear some flowers in your hair. That became the signature for the hippie era. They would wear
flowers in their hair as well as in their clothes. His type of music was the turning point to the hippy
revolution, mind–bending, peace, and love.

Introduction:
Thatcherism gained lots of opposition due to her social and economic policies. Her focus on

Thatcher's lack of policy for unemployment caused it to increase between 1979 and 1983 to over 3
million. In fact it was higher that the post–war record furthermore, the spread of unemployment was
unevenly distributed with the majority in the North. Even by the end of the Conservative
government rule, the unemployment figures failed to recover after the 1981 recession. In addition,
Thatcher allowed communities to remain unemployed, as the main priority was inflation. This
caused social tension especially in inner city areas, such as riots in Brixton. Unemployment was

The Metropolitan Police began Operation Swamp in 1981 at the beginning of April, aimed at

following riots in the areas of St Pauls, Bristol in 1980, Brixton, London and Toxteth, Liverpool in
1981 because its alleged abuse was believed to be a contributory factor to these events.
Consequently there was a public inquiry into the riot headed by Lord Scarman, which resulted in the

Many people find that the terrorism legislation particularly section 44 is not fair towards people as
many more people are being stopped and searched randomly. It is believed to be a bad piece of the
law, and according to an interviewee named Jess Hurd, she mentioned that the European human
rights court believe that it is illegally/misused piece of legislation. Many photographers are a victim
of random stop and searches regarding the terrorism act due to a photographer taking a picture of
buildings in central London. Grant Smith is a photographer who has been stopped and searched
whilst photographing in a public place. He was told that he may be involved in hostile
reconnaissance which is the taking of photographs at his aid and abed to a terrorist event at a later
date. Section 44 of the terrorism act allows any police offer to stop and conduct a search to anyone
or any type of vehicle within a specific area, this act does not require a police officer to suspect an
individual or require any previous intelligence evidence. Section 44 is such a broad piece of
legislation; it is commonly used on protesters as well as photographers. Things like this more
commonly happen in places such as Central London and other terrorist hotspots in the UK. Another
thing which has an effect on how human rights issues inform the exercise of powers of stop and
search is your right to silence. As a police officer is arresting you, part of what they have to say is
"You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence and anything you do say may be
given in evidence". This means that you do not have to say anything you do not want to when being

genres than any other rock star.
David Robert Jones (Bowie) was born in Brixton on January 8, 1947. Bowie showed an interest in
music at an early age. Greatly inspired by Jazz, Bowie picked up the saxophone at age 13. He
played with a number of rock and pop bands in the early days of his career, including The Kon–
Rads, The King Bees, the Mannish Boys and the Lower Third. It wasn't long after entering the pop
world that David Robert Jones became David Bowie, an artist full of endless vision and drive, with
dreams of stardom rapidly growing.
It was in the early 70's that Bowie's creative approach to music made him a superstar, introducing
the world to "Ziggy Stardust", his vision of a scandalous rock star. Ziggy Stardust ventured outside
social norms, exploring the possibilities of art, fashion, style and sexual exploration. To this day,
Ziggy remains a fashion icon, inspiring and influencing the styles of numerous artists from Lady
gaga to Jean Paul

The Benefits Of Mobile Payment
Though issues like "Never thought about it" can be addressed by awareness and marketing the
benefits of mobile payment, the others need to be worked out with better solutions and
implementations. Though Apple Pay has sort of revamped the mobile payment sector, it isn't the first
and only mobile payment option out there. Google Wallet and Paypal, the old contenders, are still
going strong and are very much in the game. The competition is tough and add to that the fact that at
least 37% of the populace still think cash and card transactions are much easier to deal with. To win
their vote, it's going to have to get real easy and a one click checkout mobile payment option is as
easy as it can ever get.

Earning loyalty rewards (optional; does not happen for all shoppers)
Checking–out in physical stores, the process used to (and sometimes still does!) take up to 10
minutes! Imagine a shopper looking for a coupon code to get a discount on the product they are
about to buy. The code can be either in the form of a printed document (an ad, email, or website) or
a coupon saved digitally in the user's digital wallet or app or even within the website they were
browsing and logged–in to save the coupon). The product would then be scanned –– by the cashier
or shopper – to get the price. The shopper would then pay using the payment method of their
choosing. If shopper is a member of a loyalty program, points would be added to their account. If
shopper is not a member, the cashier often asks if they would like to join (by filling out a form, etc);
this takes up additional time, which is an inconvenience for the shopper (and shoppers standing
behind in –line.)
Now, imagine a customer interaction that involves beacon integration with a mobile wallet app, in
effect mimicking an in–app payment but it takes place in the physical store. This way, the user
interaction is something like, "Do you want 10% off that product? Click here and it will be charged
to the default card in your digital wallet. No need to stand in a line to checkout."

Effects Of Imperialism In The Windrush
During the war in Britain, many Caribbean natives from different islands fought together to help out
in British combat. As soon as the war was finally done, all Caribbean migrants saw the true colors of
the British people. The British people started to ask the migrants when they are returning to their
country and this was the start of Caribbean people observing the concept they wasn't welcomed. In
the Windrush articles, it explains the belief of Caribbean not being welcomed and even mentions
some of the people in Britain had imperialist views which made it tough to receive people from the
colonies working amongst them. Only people from the colonies should be working on planting
crops, what the Britain believed. The crops they grew especially was chocolate and bananas.
Windrush had a breakdown people into thirds, one third are the ones with imperialist views, second
third are who didn't matter that much and last third are ordinary. For the few migrants who were
heading to Britain , they saw chimneys on houses and they were connected to the factories.
Chimneys in the Caribbean indicated factories and said that these places must have a lot of work.
The people from the Caribbean was migrating to Britain for better opportunities to work. In
Windrush, it starts to talk about the difficulties of being a civilian for a Caribbean migrants. They
were arranged in groups , one for those who volunteer to be in military force and other group were
those who had friends in England.

Rehabilitation In Prison Essay
As stated by the ABA, was it is vital that "Correctional authorities should begin to plan for each
prisoner's eventual release and reintegration into the community from the time of that prisoner's
admission into the correctional system and facility" (ABA Standard 23–8.2 pg 246). Everyone
would regard the reintegration of inmates of correctional institutes as a learning task. I am aware
that usually when people think about learning something, they think of schoolwork and learning
physical and verbal skills in a classroom. These inmates of the prison system will be learning the
necessities of outside of a classroom. The rehabilitation of these prisoners will include a lot of
vocational training, learning to live by the rules and guidelines of society. Vocational training enable
the prisoners to have privileges. The existence of privileges is very vital for prisoners because they
help promote inmate rehabilitation. According to Brad Parks of The New York Post "The federal
Bureau of Prisons budget has more than sextupled since 1980, even when adjusting for inflation. ...

This particular charity also provides breaks for the inmates to gain vocational training after the
fulfilment of their sentence. They are also mentored and given support in things like painting, dry
lining and scaffolding. These prisoners are given the chance to be placed in a job upon their release
through the charity's social enterprise.
"The emphasis of the award is on work that fosters personal responsibility and which calls on people
in prison, and ex–offenders, to take responsibility to help themselves and to help others".
There are many states that do not offer rehabilitative education to the inmate upon their release.
However if I were the person in charge, this type of program would be mandatory

Criminology coursework assessing 2011 UK riots through social identity theory

  • 1. Criminology Criminology Coursework – Assessing the riots... Criminology is focused on the attempt to understand the meanings involved in social interaction. Theorists have tried to explain sociological behaviour by looking at the patterns created by individuals that commit crime. The August 2011 riots are pivotal in explaining criminological behaviour since official statistics show that 865 individuals were put in prison by the 9th September 2011 for offences related to the disorder between 6th and 9th August 2011. This is not to say that others were not involved, but that they have simply not been identified to date and may never be identified, however the evidence we do have about the recent riots gives us plenty to talk about. This essay will ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... According to Becker deviance is 'a consequence of the application by others of rules and sanctions to an offender'. Becker came to the conclusion that people are criminalised through the process of negotiation, known to be social constructionism for example the Crown Prosecution Service may drop the charge of murder to manslaughter if there is not enough evidence to convict for murder. By doing this the defendant becomes labelled for the crime of manslaughter even though he may truly be guilty of murder. By introducing what could be regarded as 'petty' legislation more people will be labelled criminals, which in turn may lead the offender to act further on this basis. Lemert referred to this as secondary deviance as when a person is labelled criminal they change their view of themselves and this then becomes their 'master status'. On the other hand primary deviance is when someone violates a social code, but does not get labelled. Therefore a person is only labelled a criminal if he is caught and since ethnic minorities are subject to much more scrutiny than the white population this puts black people at an automatic disadvantage. Following the inquiry into the death of Stephen Lawrence it was uncovered that the police are institutionally racist. Institutional racism can be defined as 'the collective failure of an organisation to provide an appropriate and professional service to the people ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Using The Single Period Probabilistic Inventory Control Model Problem R By Group 10: Morgan Gaskin, Ritesh Makwana, Georgia Fleming, Adam Ahmad, Simon Humroy and Larab Chaudhry Executive Summary: This report shows a solution to our modelling week problem R which was about maximising the profit of merchandise sold at 'Wrong Directions' concerts, how many t–shirts/programmes that should be ordered and the price that they should be sold for. Our solution to this problem was using the single period probabilistic inventory control model then working out the optimal order quantity for both t–shirts and programmes based on the total number of people attending the fifteen concerts (43,100). Our assumption was 40% of people would buy T–shirts (17,240) and 50% would buy programmes (21,550), and our research shows how much to sell both products for. All calculations can be found in the report. Our recommendation is that you order 18,462 t–shirts priced at £20 and 23,960 programmes prices at £5 which would give you an expected profit of 438,179.22. Only limitation that is possible is not all stock will be sold but having the extra stock will help maximise profit. Introduction: Our group report delves into our modelling week problem R, where our company has been asked to provide concert merchandise, including t–shirts and programmes for the new successful band 'Wrong Direction'. This is for their upcoming tour in December 2015 which consists of 15 gigs including the finale at Brixton Academy where the band will be supported by 'Take This'. We ...

William Shakespeare's 1603 play and Andrew Davies 2001 film appropriation of Othello examine security of the known and jealousy in respective mediums to connect and shape responders and their world. Shakespeare's play introduces these values and Davies develops them as a means to teach and understand the innate values of society. Humanity values security in the familiar and presents racism as a justification for the fear of the Other. Othello's demise in both texts arise from his awareness and insecurity of his race. Other characters behave as a catalyst to this, as an inability to truly assimilate into society ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Late 20th century England was plagued racial division as the concern of skin colour endured. The 1981 Brixton Race Riots alongside the 1993 and 1998 deaths of Stephen Lawrence and Christopher Alder illuminated the treatment of the black community and the brutal powers of the metropolitan police force. Davies sought to mirror this turmoil. In the inquiry into Billy Coates death, Davies utilised fast flashback cuts during the police brutality attack to create a sense of chaos and intensify the scene. The additional diegetic sounds of the police kicking and Coates screaming together with the flashing lighting highlights the aggressive and unjust force of the police in stark contrast. It creates a sense of disgust and unease amongst the modern audience as we now empathise with marginalised groups. This institutionalised racism is cemented in the Prime Ministers conclusion, that Othello's promotion was a political "experiment," confirming the surreptitious racism and prejudices. The public discourse that emerged following the series of racial dividing attacks during the 90's concluded that the fear of another race was no justification for physical violence. Thus these texts concurrently reveal racism as an enduring concern to respective societies but the modern responder and composer attempts to rectify misconduct and acknowledge the greater presence and role of the black ...

  • 7. Analysis Of Shakespeare 's Othello, By William Shakespeare When pairs of texts are considered together, their universal themes and ideas lead to greater understanding, appreciation and insight of both the old and the new. The texts Othello, William Shakespeare (1600) and Othello, Geoffrey Sax (2001), ring true for this statement. Despite the differing contexts and ages, the universal themes of racism and betrayal bring new meaning to each of the texts. The primary meaning from the juxtaposition of the two is that of the human condition, and how the problems faced in the 17th century are faced in modern times. The overarching theme of racial discrimination is bought upon by the differing contexts, is bought upon by the different contexts and therefore settings. Shakespeare's play is set in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In a different context, Sax play upon the race accepting façade of law enforcement and society as a whole, however underlying racial prejudices still exist. At the time of setting, the Brixton riots in London are occurring, exposing the underlying racial intolerances of society as a young black man is subjected to police brutality and eventually dies. The editing of the film juxtaposes the rioting scenes with a meeting of police commissioners, talking about racial equality in law enforcement. This technique conveys disconnect between races. After the speech about law enforcement equality, the commissioner and Ben Jago (Iago), are filmed talking in private making comments such as "if only their brains were as bug as their dicks". Further exemplification of racial intolerance is in Jago's explosive soliloquy punctuated with phrases such as "you stupid patronising ape". Contrary however, to the play Jago keeps these thoughs to himself, jokingly using racial language, such as "you clever black bastard". Jago's hiding of his true colours shows the stance of society on racism, a friendly façade however there is an underlying problem. It is through the universal theme of racism that a symbiotic relationship between the old and the new text occurs, allowing insight, acknowledgement and understanding between the ...

  • 9. Strengths And Disadvantages Of Social Identity Theory The social identity theory (SIT) was proposed by Taifel and later on established by Taifel and Turner (1971) to better understand the intergroup relations and group processes. The SIT is based on the assumption that people may try to improve their self–image by trying to boost their self–esteem, based on either personal or social identities that may be caused by either in–groups or out–groups. Several studies have investigated the social identity theory, including experiments such as the Tajfel (1970), Howarth (2002), and Cialdini et al. (1976). These studies show how they have demonstrated the minimal group model created by in–group bias; investigated the tendency to associate one's self publicly with successful others; and showed how social representations of where you live can affect the social identity juvenile girls. This essay will evaluate the strengths and limitations of the social identity theory by using the studies above. The social identity theory is based on four main concepts; social categorization, which is the tendency to divide and categorize people into in–groups and out–group; category accentuation effect, ...

The strengths are that it is supported by high amounts of empirical studies; shows the role of social categorization in intergroup behaviours; the difference between personal identity and social identity; explores how the basic need to fit in affects social interaction; contributes to explanation of other areas of social psychology; and the original SIT has been expanded on and continues to generate further research. The weaknesses though, are that the applications of SIT are restricted by the methodological limitation, unrepresentative samples and reductionist principles obtained in its supporting studies; self–esteem hypothesis is no longer central to SIT; and the aim of SIT to favour situational factors rather than the dispositional factors is not supported by ...

  • 11. Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 The police have a range of powers to stop and search people. The most widely used of these is under Section (s) 1 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) which allows the police to stop people or vehicles in public places and search them for stolen goods and other articles. However, in line with most stop and search powers, this only applies where the constable has 'reasonable suspicion' that these articles will be found. Prior to PACE, there existed a patchwork quilt of police powers to stop and search people and vehicles. There were some powers which could be used by constables of any police force in the country, for example, the power to stop people and search them under s23(2) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (MDA). A number of police forces had local powers to stop people and vehicles and search them for stolen goods, such as that under s66 of the Metropolitan Police Act 1839 (MPA). Significantly, there were no standard conditions for the exercise of the powers (Fieldman 2002:307). In total, there were some 16 statutes that gave police powers to stop and search but in other situations the police lacked the requisite powers they needed. The police claimed that this situation frequently left them open to risk of civil action for stopping and searching where no power existed and also criticism for failing to act (Zander 1990:3). In addition to the above fragmentary powers, police in England and Wales routinely carried out stop search powers under what was ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

His parents both had children from prior relationships, making him the only biological child of his parents. He grew up shy as a kid, (A13), and only really confided himself in one person, his mother's son Terry. He was Bowie's idol and his inspiration to pursue music (A4). This is what helped make Bowie who he is today, a Rock and Roll legend who is noteworthy because he was revolutionary in so many ways regarding music, fashion, and social views.

Introduction This assessment will focus on Section 1 of The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (Stop and Search powers). I will look at the use of stop and search before the Macpherson report and after the Macpherson report and compare how it has changed. The use of stop and search powers allow the police to tackle crime and anti–social behaviour, and to prevent more serious crimes occurring generally in public places like a Football match. A police officer can ask what you are doing, why you're in an area and/or where you're going. They also have the power to stop and search you if they have 'reasonable grounds' to suspect you're carrying; illegal drugs, a weapon, stolen ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... So William Hague called for there to be a rise in the use of Stop and Search. This was evident in 2001 when Mr Hague linked a rise in violent street crime in some areas to a drop in stop and searches of black people because police officers feared being called racist. However, this can be argued as many black and Asian people – including Stephen Lawrence's father, Neville, who filed a complaint after being stopped last year – said they were still being unfairly targeted. And in January figures from the Home Office showed that the fall in searches was greatest for white suspects with black people still five times more likely to be stopped in London than white people. The Equality Act 2010 makes it prohibited for police officers to discriminate against, harass or victimise any person in relation to 'age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation, marriage, civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity when using their powers on the ground of 'protected characteristics' (Home Office 2011). This shows they have tried to control the situation of racism in the force and tried to put a stop to it. However racism within the force goes back decades as before 1984 police were allowed to stop and search whoever they wanted therefore it became easier and more of a habit to target people who fit 'criminal persona'. This laid back approach to stop and search caused problems because police became ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Baby farmers used to be women that would care for mothers babies. During this time period in England birth control was not advanced. It was often times unreliable or not easily obtained making it common for women to get pregnant. Society would also look down upon women who had children out of wed lock. These mothers often times struggled financially and typically worked as maids. Maids were not allowed to bring their children but had to live with their boss. For these reasons women had to rely on baby farmers, often seen as nurses, to care for their child.

Thasper is transferred to a different world to grow up in but once he hears of stories about the Sage of Dissolution, he travels to learn more about this mysterious character. Although "The Sage of Theare" takes place in a fictional world, Diana Wynne Jones creates a world of order by using diction, as well as personal experiences to bring light to how current society mimics the social context of the story.

In an interview that she had, she said, "'The Sage of Theare' started because I remembered, or thought I remembered, a story by Borges being read on the radio, in which a scholar arduously tracked down a learned man but never quite found him. I started having dreams about it – strange circular dreams in a strange city where gods took a hand – and the dream person never found the wise man he was looking for. In order to exorcise the dreams, I wrote the story." Here, the rhetor's original purpose of writing this story was to get rid of her strange dreams. However, this adds on to the idea that people are uncomfortable with disorder because her strange dreams deviate from the norm and she wants it to disappear. This is similar to the story because the gods that live in Theare hate disorder. Also, because the rhetor wrote this in the time that she did, many events that occurred during the 1980s in Britain might have influenced the way she wrote this story and why she wrote it. As mentioned previously, Britain experienced political unrest during this time. There were many riots sparked by racial tensions, local problems, and poor relations between predominantly black communities and the police. There was also conflict in prisons as prisoners started a hunger strike to protest the right to be treated as political prisoners, resulting in 61 deaths. Not only that, economic recession in Britain during this time resulted in high unemployment rates of up to three million unemployed citizens. Because Diana Wynne Jones wrote "The Sage of Theare" during this time, the story reflects some aspects of these events. For example, the world of Theare is crafted to be a utopian society, a world of order where there is no chaos. The rhetor might have chosen to depict Theare in this way as a distraction from what is actually going on in the real world. In this fantasy world, "everything ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The house was built in a traditional Victorian area in Brixton, but the building itself is far from a classic Victorian design.

Slip House has been the recipient of, and shortlisted for, a number of awards in both 2012 and 2013.

Upon his return to England, he captured the street people of London and that work cemented his reputation as a social documentary photographer and laid the foundation for photojournalism.

In 1881 Queen Victoria appointed him photographer to the British Royal Family. His work then concentrated on studio portraiture of the High Society in England. In 1886 he began to instruct explorers at the Royal Geographical Society in the art of photography so they could document their travels. He retired from his studio in 1910 and spent most of his time back in Scotland and continued to write for the Royal Geographical Society. He died of a heart attack at the age of 84 in 1921.

However, some people feel the complete opposite and have negative views altogether. In some cases, people believe they have Ephebiphobia which is a fear of young people, with 1.5 million Britons considering to move houses last year and about 1.7 million people not going out after dark to avoid youngsters (Lewis, 2016). Researchers are fearing that the public are alienating the youth and "A rise in social Paedophobia will simply make matters worse" Nick Pierce the IPPR (Institute for Public Policy Research). In this essay I will be discussing how youths are deemed as the perpetrators in today's society and how this theory came about.

This essay will then relate the orthodox and revisionist perspectives to the themes of lack of structure, industrialisation and finally hostility. It will then discuss whether the creation of the Metropolitan Police by Sir Robert Peel in 1829 was an effective solution to the changes within society as well as the challenges brought about through crime and disorder. The orthodox view is that the Metropolitan Police were, in fact, a rational decision made to adapt to the needs of the society. They argue that the establishment of the 'new' police was inevitable. The revisionist view would state that the 'new' police were not a rational decision. They believed that crime and disorder were not increasing, it was just that the ways of counting crime were largely different to previously. The revisionists also believe that the new system was in part beneficial for which to tackle issues that may have occasioned due to the new 'dangerous class' (Monkkonen, 1981, p147). In this essay, there will be reference made to the Brixton Riots in 1981 with a clear explanation as to how the orthodox and revisionist perspectives relate to modern policing activities.

The Importance Of Multiculturalism In The UK Multiculturalism is the view that those cultures, ethnicities and races particularly of minority should warrant distinct acknowledgment and support of their diverse differences within a dominant culture. Ideology surrounding multiculturalism ranges from the advocacy of equality to promoting the preservation of cultural diversity. Policing in the UK has long been stigmatised with regards to race relations. Procedures for recruitment underwent two major transformations following on from the Race Relations Act 1961; carried out in the 1980's and early 2000s after official inquires prompted by a botched police investigation into a racially motivated murder in 1982. Historically, dominated by white males the UK force was criticised for its sexist and racist culture. The disproportionate employment of ethnic minorities in police and other public services came to light as a result of the publication of the Macpherson Report 1999, into the inquiry following Stephen Lawrence's racist murder. The duties of public authorities to prevent such discrimination was reinforced by the Race Relations Act 2000 as well as their obligation to promote equality and healthy relations between different races.

What cannot be changed must be borne. The test of life is to endure", to which Nazneen takes to heart. Nazneen is soon given away in arranged marriage which she does not protest at all.

This is a transition of being held down by the notion of 'Fate' to empowering one's self. In the film, we can see the notion of self– empowerment in Nazneen when she was confronted by Mrs.Islam, a crook who lends money but ask for more in return. After many denials and avoiding Mrs.Islam, Nazneen finally lashes out on Mrs. Islam and confronted her dishonest way of business by asking her to swear on the Quran that she is not cheating her customer, to which she could not swear. This a prime example of self– empowerment, if Nazneen didn't take charge and spoke up, her household would always be in constant disturbance due to Mrs.Islam. As a result of self–empowerment, we see at the end of the movie that Nazneen is much more happier after deciding her own fate.

Many of the people who lived in Britain between 1948 to 1960had high expectations, which was soon disillusioned by the racial discrimination they had faced. It affected them in every aspect in life, from finding a job, to finding a home to live. After 1945, there was a shortage of houses as well as labours, due to the war. It was at that specific point when immigrants first experienced the colour bar. M. Phillips and T.Phillips quoted that wherever you went there were signs of no blacks, niggers, Irish and Dogs. It was very difficult to get a room. Most black people had to settle in the slums of London, Liverpool, Nottingham and other cities. These areas also had very poor housing. Peter Rachman only offered crumbling houses infested by rats and surrounded by rubbish. The black people also experienced the same discriminations at work. People who had qualifications in medicine and law ended up working low status jobs because of discrimination. During 1960s and 1970s there was in increase in racial discrimination, and ...

  • 55. Mass Immigration And Its Impact On The United States In Britain, since the 1960's, there was mass immigration from many countries around the globe, including the majority of people coming from South Asia, Africa and the West Indies. This mass immigration clearly had a direct impact on the transformation of London and turned it into the 'multi–ethnic city' that we have today. However, it is debatable whether this entire process of large scale immigration can be considered a 'smooth process' due to the fact that there were many challenges that immigrants had to face upon arrival in Britain, as well as well as the backlash of non–immigrants who were not particularly tolerant towards those who belonged to an ethnicity different to their own. Evidence shows that there were many examples of segregation, discrimination and bigotry in London as well as a division in political opinions too. On the other hand, although there were many issues and tensions arising during this period, it can also be seen that in some ways there were many positive outcomes as a result of the large scale of immigration. One of the many ways that this can be seen is through the gradual change in many people's attitudes towards different ethnic backgrounds, a beginning of integration between people belonging to different ethnic backgrounds and an increasing sense of community between the people of London. Whilst analysing the scale of immigration since the 1960's and transformation of London into a multi–ethnic city, many historians would agree with the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 57. Issues In Gang Culture Pursuing the discussion of gang culture further, young people often embrace the gang life as a sense of belonging (Regan, 2011, p.55). Another proposing influential factor may be family for young people; some families have been experiencing breakdowns, hence resulting certain youths to grasp the opportunity of joining gangs. Willow (1999, cited in Smith, 2007, p.198) who argues that young people are 'pressured' into joining gangs, due to having negative issues within family homes – in evidence of this point, Willow (1999) states that "Some people in gangs get involved because they could have a bad life at home" (Smith, p.198, 2007) That being said, broken homes and a lack of fatherhood could possibly be the reason for an increase in gang involvement ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Poverty also plays a huge factor in family homes in Great Britain (statistics in John Pitts book, p.59 – reference), as many parents are left powerless in terms of controlling their beloved ones to keep themselves away from gangs. This is generally because of lone parents having to work extremely long hours, which for them, may be considered to be compulsory (Regan, 2011, p.55). With the absenteeism of a non–stable family unit, in all likelihood being away for huge periods of time, it can lead young people to join gangs for a place to belong as it may ultimately be the only path in which they can follow. It is stated that, at times it can be very difficult for a young individual to fend for themselves, and eventually it may come to a point where the outcome of joining a gang just "becomes a lifeline which plugs the gap left by their absent parents" (Regan, 2011, p.55), this may propose the fact that these young people just want a sense of belonging, and with the affiliation of gangs it can also offer success and protection (Pitts, 2008, ...

  • 59. The Hippies And The Movement Of The Hippie Movement In San... During the early 1960s the hippies began a movement for the youth in San Francisco; it was a movement that developed very rapidly around the world. It consisted of a group of people who had an opposition against the political and social standards. This group of people chose to favor peace, love and freedom as their way of living. The hippies had their own standards of living, they rejected institutions and were always criticizing the value of the middle class. Many of them were usually all about the planet and vegetarians, they also promoted the use of mind blowing drugs. The hippies created their own communities, listen to heavy rock, embraced sexual revolution, and used drugs to adventure different stages of consciousness. 1. Scott McKenzie – "San Francisco" (1967) Scott McKenzie was in a group called The Journeymen, with whom he performed the song "San Francisco". This was one of the big Hippie hits that took place during the summer of 1967. That summer was known as, "The Summer of Love". This music became popular among the growing peace activists and folkies. McKenzie mentions in his song that if you go to San Francisco be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. That became the signature for the hippie era. They would wear flowers in their hair as well as in their clothes. His type of music was the turning point to the hippy revolution, mind–bending, peace, and love. 2.

It basically provides a core framework of police powers and safeguards around stop and search, arrest, detention, investigation, identification and interviewing suspects.

The Metropolitan Police began Operation Swamp in 1981 at the beginning of April, aimed at reducing street crime, mainly through the over use of the sus law which resulted in a number of black youths being arrested. It was these actions that fuellled the beginning of the riots with bricks and bottles being hurled at police and vechiles and buildings being set ablaze due to police trying to make arrests. The "SUS" law caused so much discontent amongst certain areas of the population following riots in the areas of St Pauls, Bristol in 1980, Brixton, London and Toxteth, Liverpool in 1981 because its alleged abuse was believed to be a contributory factor to these events. Consequently there was a public inquiry into the riot headed by Lord Scarman, which resulted in the Scarman Report published on November 25th 1981 and the abolishion of the "SUS" law. With the "SUS" law no longer in place there was a void where codes of conduct and safeguards should be in order for stop and searches to be carried out in the most benificial way for all parties concerned, thus the introduction of the PACE ...

Many people find that the terrorism legislation particularly section 44 is not fair towards people as many more people are being stopped and searched randomly. It is believed to be a bad piece of the law, and according to an interviewee named Jess Hurd, she mentioned that the European human rights court believe that it is illegally/misused piece of legislation. Many photographers are a victim of random stop and searches regarding the terrorism act due to a photographer taking a picture of buildings in central London. Grant Smith is a photographer who has been stopped and searched whilst photographing in a public place. He was told that he may be involved in hostile reconnaissance which is the taking of photographs at his aid and abed to a terrorist event at a later date. Section 44 of the terrorism act allows any police offer to stop and conduct a search to anyone or any type of vehicle within a specific area, this act does not require a police officer to suspect an individual or require any previous intelligence evidence. Section 44 is such a broad piece of legislation; it is commonly used on protesters as well as photographers. Things like this more commonly happen in places such as Central London and other terrorist hotspots in the UK. Another thing which has an effect on how human rights issues inform the exercise of powers of stop and search is your right to silence. As a police officer is arresting you, part of what they have to say is "You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence and anything you do say may be given in evidence".
