Fixing Broken Windows

and the rain pounding against the windows and doors like someone trying to break in.…

Humans are creatures of habit. They pick the same route, go to the same places, and perform daily tasks in an almost ritualistic manner. As a result, they see and hear the same things every day, which is considered the environment. The environment is the external surroundings that a person is placed in. When the brain is exposed to the same environment constantly, the conscious mind starts to acknowledge the presence less and less. Eventually, the unconscious mind takes over, resulting in “the…

They had not long left Alistair's house when he told Storm there was something he wanted to show him. It wasn't going to be a long detour and they wouldn't be getting out of the car. He had turned off the highway, soon after reaching the outskirts of the city. “We need to be very discreet. Best to try to look like we live around here.” “Wagonshaks Incorporated is an international company. They’re used by the government to set up and service the emergency shelters—the internment camps.” “You…

need to be engaged in the community. To actually improve societies crime control police need to go out and speak to people, engage in conversation, sitting in a car watching from the inside does not help citizens build a relation with you. The Broken Windows model outlined the basic safety principles. In 1982 James Q. Wilson and George Kelling introduced this model to help control the disorder in inner city neighborhoods. When high authorities are able to go into a community and eliminate a…

Rusty, dark, and tight is what can describe Woodbridge Middle School, a school that is one hundred six years old and is evident by how the school is taken care of, or lack of. Students spend a significant amount of time at school and should feel excited and comfortable to be there. The problem with having schools that are not receiving proper care while there are schools that are well off is that they receive more assistance which results in an unequal balance of resources being distributed. Yet…

She stayed inside for three days. Drifting in and out of restless sleep, she was haunted by violent images of nameless men on another alien planet a lifetime ago, mixing with the fresh assault far more painful. She got out of bed only to eat something, anything, it didn't matter because she didn't taste the food. She was startled by every unexpected sound, flinched at every shadow she didn't identify. Then one morning, she woke up with a clearer head and realized she was not this woman. Afraid…

Since the highest crime rates are in the poverty parts of the cities, we should work on fixing the problem before it beings.
