Problem-oriented policing (POP)

Problem-oriented policing is a police strategy that involves in the analysis and evaluation of a specific crime to create effective responses. This approach involves root cause analysis that identifies the reason/reasons behind the occurrence of a specific crime. The strategy then evolves on solving these reasons and eliminating the foundation for the crime. This strategy was formulated by Herman Goldstein in 1979. This model was expanded by John Eck and William Spelman in 1987. They jointly designed the SARA model. The SARA model is Scanning, Analysis, Response and Assessment (COPS, 2015).

Jack Kerouac 1922-1969

Mexico City Blues
Got up and dressed up         and went out & got laidThen died and got buried         in a coffin in the grave,Man–         Yet everything is perfect,Because it is empty,Because it is perfect         with emptiness,Because it’s not even happening.

EverythingIs Ignorant of its own emptiness–AngerDoesn’t like to be reminded of fits–

You start with the Teaching         Inscrutable of the DiamondAnd end with it, your goal         is your starting place,No race has run, no walk         of prophetic toenailsAcross Arabies of hot         meaning–you just         numbly don’t get there.

In Vain Your name:

Jack Kerouac, 1922 - 1969

The last chapter of Pasternak’s novel ‘Dr.Zhivago’ consists entirely of poems prompting certain authors to call it a novel-poem. Pasternak in his novel time and again stresses the importance and the relevance of the poems to the personality of the hero as well as to the plot of the novel. In many instances the narrative seems to be an extension of the poems. As the chronology of the novel suggests many of the poems were written at the same time as that of the prose parts. The reader is told that Dr. Zhivago (Yury) wrote poetry in his Continue reading...

Abstract

Most earthquakes in Saudi Arabia are a result of the separation along the mid-rift of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in the South, which have caused an extensive movement along the Gulf of Aqaba in the North. This movement has created what are known as transform fault systems along the Dead Sea toward the Gulf of Aqaba. In addition, numerous seismic tremors also occur because of the impact in the subduction zone along the Zagros Mountain located in the northeast of the Arabian plate. Moreover, a percentage of the Cenozoic volcanic regions located along the western Continue reading...

Introduction

Peer mediation decreases the level of conflict in urban schools. The conflicts in school could be initiated from factors within the school, or outside the school. According to a research that was done by William Paterson University, violence in schools is a process that is highly dynamic and contextual. Adolescent aggressiveness is rooted in the environment of the adolescent . The physical security measures that are put in schools only make the school environment seem strict and unaccommodating. At least that is what the literature review reveals concerning the perspective of the students on such measures . According to Frost, “The Continue reading...

According to the Oxford Dictionary of English (2010), a slumlord is “A landlord of slum property, typically one who charges extortionate rents”. Concurrently, the literature on slum proprietors and slum dwellers provide two distinct ways of defining a slumlord, each revolving around the given definition. First, based on property ownership, some of the literature identifies a slumlord as the proprietor of an area befitting the characteristics of a slum. According to the United Nations' Human Settlements Program (2012) slums have “deplorable living and environmental conditions and are characterized by inadequate water supply, poor sanitation, overcrowded and dilapidated housing" (p.99).

Stereotype is nothing but a common public belief about the characteristic attributes or behavior of an individual or a society as a whole. It may not be true since stereotyping an individual or a community is purely based on assumptions and views (“Stereotype Examples”). The most commonly noticed stereotypes in the world today are racial, cultural, sexual and group-based. Stereotyping a country for negative reasons affects the members of the society badly. For example, the younger generation of a negative stereotyped country may find it difficult to find better opportunities and fair treatment in another country. This, in turn, Continue reading...

The government has Continue reading...

Mark Twin famously advised aspiring novelists to “write what you know,” and F. Scott Fitzgerald based much of This Side of Paradise on his own personal life. He grew up in the Midwest, studied at Princeton, served in the Army, and partied in New York City. Fitzgerald used these experiences to write his first novel, featuring Amory Blaine, a quintessential privileged and self-entitled snob. The narrative traces his experiences and philosophical development from a spoiled teenager to a hapless adult; lost and incapable of any real action. However, the novel is a traditional American coming of age story, and Continue reading...
