Social Work Response Letter

Decent Essays
Hello Dr. Schoen,

I am sorry to bother you at this time when we are so close to start the semester and you are so busy. The reason that I am writing you, is because I had a conversation with my DARS counselor about the program and financial assistance and she inform me that for the type of work that I want to do, I was in the wrong program; since my interest is to work with people who have mental, behavioral, and addiction problems. She told me that program that I should be enrolled in and has more options of employment is the Masters of Social Work. I would appreciate if you can give me your opinion and if transferring to MSW is an option.

Thank you and have a nice day.

    Response Memo, Week Three Charlotte Freitag In their policy-shifting report “Broken Windows: The Police and Neighborhood Safety”, Wilson and Kelling (1982) make a case for why they believe proactive policing would help lower crime rates nationally and promote feelings of comfort across communities. They argue that the widespread usage of foot patrolling officers, as opposed to officers patrolling in vehicles, would promote positive civilian interactions and would deter crime, as the physical presence of police officers would dissuade potential criminals from acting out in public spaces (Wilson and Kelling 1982). Their assertions are based on research the Police Foundation conducted in Newark, New Jersey, where they observed how the presence of foot patrol officers shaped the community and its crime rate (Wilson and Kelling 1982). After the experiment ran its course, they concluded that while the actual crime rate was unchanged, residents perceived the neighborhood as safer than it had been before the foot patrol officers began circulating the area…
