    When dealing with small town police departments, many issues tend to arise when comparing the problems faced in a small town to an urban environment (Johnson, 2000). Some factors that small-town areas face include budget constraints, response time difficulties, and community relations (Gordner, 2006). These issues greatly affect rural areas due to a high poverty rates, low unemployment, and detrimental funding issues (Gordner, 2006). These problems cause small-town police departments to have difficulties in funding the detrimental services which are often required by law enforcement (Ioimo et al., 2011). One factor that is directly affecting small police departments in rural crime trends such as the severe prevalence of violent crimes (Johnson,…

    In this article on WUNC.org of ‘Where The Lottery Ticket Profits Go’, Jess Clark writes about how the NC Education Lottery, which started in 2006, has only been going downhill from where they started and that during this decline, the ticket sales have moved from the North Carolina schools to the state of North Carolina; “About a quarter of the annual ticket sales went to funding public education in the state” (Jess Clark). Jess also interviews a few people who have bought these lottery tickets about their experience and what they would do if they win, DeShannon Korrea states that, “If I win, I will probably quit my job, help my family pay off their debts, and then, who knows?”. Jess states that Korrea can probably sleep easy even if she doesn’t…

    countryparty.org.au - A Call for a Change: Rebuilding the Colac Police Station We often underestimate the importance of the efforts of the rural law enforcement such as the officers that work out of the Colac police station. This station dates back to the 1940s and even though the reception area has been revamped recently, it still needs additional refurbishing to bring it up to modern standards of policing to ensure that the citizens receive the level of protection that they deserve each day. Citizens and political figures fear this station in Colac is not as it should be, because the government often marginalises the county Polwarth. If the government would only stop to consider the importance of this police department to its rural community, maybe…

    Once the lottery players becomes a lottery winner, they will supposedly continue to play the lottery based on Durkheim’s theory. The winners will also not feel as content in life and will also be obsessed with buying things they would not have considered buying as a lottery player. Based on Durkheim’s theory, it is expected to already see differences in the wants of lottery players from low-economic and middle-class backgrounds. Only because the middle-class already has more money to start with, so they strive for more and can be less content in life than low-economic…

    As aforementioned, however, it is irresponsible to act on said impression. As the duty of a police officer is to serve and protect, no outside influence can nor should deter the officer’s responsibility to fulfill the law. Suspecting an individual of committing a crime is no petty matter; not only is the suspect’s esteem affected, but his life is changed as well in terms of, say, employment options. Thus, when confronted with this delicate situation, a police officer must only rely on evidence to justify an arrest. Utilizing racial stereotypes only distracts the officer’s sound judgement, often leading to mistaken arrests and even wrongful conviction.…

    The rate of African Americans shot or killed by police far exceeds the rate for Whites. However, as noted, there remains debate as to why this is the case. Several researchers subscribe to the belief that police discretion, or “differential policing,” largely explains the disproportionality. Others hold that racial imbalance is a reflection of the struggles associated with being a member of a disadvantaged class, including social inequality and economic deprivation(Baker, 2015, p.242).…
