In the past it used to be a piano district, although most of the early businesses are long gone (Hughes, 2015). Approximately 50% of all American made pianos…

However, through the events with Jem's pants, the neighborhood fire and the presents in the tree, the children themselves begin to realize that Radley is more of a friend than a villain.…

The plan would be to seek funding from residents while also seeking a grant from the town of Poultney with the intentions of decreasing crime. In a study by Linden and Chaturvedi (2005) it found that in order to be effective, crime prevention programs must “involve a broad group of people and organizations” (p. 251) while also making sure to “consider a diverse range of prevention strategies” (Linden & Chaturvedi, 2005, p. 251).

Understanding it was a high involvement purchase and there was going to a lot of research going into the…

It worries parents with their children continuing to play outdoors like a regular kid loves to do. Children are just so tiny that even going slow down a street, it needs to be extra careful.
