1. "2013 Annual Report of Campus Security and Fire Safety Policies and Procedures." DREXEL UNIVERSITY – CLERY ACT STATISTICS. DREXEL UNIVERSITY, 2013. Web. 11 Feb. 2014.
The table which is provided by Drexel Police office contains the information of the crime statistics that took place in Drexel during the year of 2010, 2011 and 2012. We believe that these statistics are credible and reliable, because it is not only on the official page of the Drexel University website. It also shows a very detailed annual report. This source mainly collected the data about the security and fire safety that took place on campus past 3 years and the officer also categorized it with different types of crimes, such as murder, sex offenses, liquor law violations and etc. Though our group only looks for the Burglary and robbery, we found this source is important and convincing. On this table, we found it is unbelievable that although Drexel put enormous effort to reduce the crime rate, it did not reduce as what people expected.

2. "Crime Maps & Stats." Home. Philadelphia Police Department, 17 Feb. 2014. Web. 17 Feb. 2014. <http://www.phillypolice.com/crime-maps-stats>.
On the official website of the Philadelphia Police Department, the police office has provided some critical information about the crime that took place in Philadelphia. There is a map called “box map” that everyone who was on this website could draw a box out of a specific area in Philadelphia, and the specific criminal events that happened in past few months would appear. Our group reckons this as a useful and trustful resource because in general police department is a trustful governmental organization. On the website, the editor from police office posts crime that took place in Philadelphia every day, the analyst compared the crime happened in Philly from one year to another. There are also services that they provided such as vehicles, victim and a lot

    Defining the job of a firefighter is tough because they do almost anything. It is a tough job to do and even tougher to even get a job as a firefighter. According to the U.S. Department of Labor (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2006) the outlook for firefighters is in tough competition. There are many more applicants than open positions mainly due to the fact that only and high education is required. Those who are the most physically fit and do the best on the written portion will succeed in being hired. Those with a Fire Science degree have even a better chance of getting a job. Although it takes two years of life and dedicated work, it is a good investment if it means a better chance at a paying career doing what is desirable.…

    This project examined different aspects of campus crime -- specifically, the prevalence of crimes among college students, whether the crime rate was increasing or decreasing on college campuses, and the factors related to campus crime. Researchers made the assumption that crimes committed by and against college students were likely to be related to drug and alcohol use. Specific questions designed to be answered by the data include: (1) Do students who commit crimes differ in their use of drugs and alcohol from students who do not commit crimes? (2) Do students who are victims of crimes differ in their use of drugs and alcohol from students who are not victims? (3) How do multiple offenders differ from single offenders in their use of drugs and alcohol? (4) How do victims of violent crimes differ from victims of nonviolent crimes in their use of drugs and alcohol? (5) What types of student crimes are more strongly related to drug or alcohol use than others? (6) Other than drug and alcohol use, in what ways can victims and perpetrators of crimes be differentiated from students who have had no direct experiences with crime? Variables include basic demographic information, academic information, drug use information, and experiences with crime since becoming a student.…

    Fire prevention programs and education are an important part of keeping a community safe. The more educational opportunities that are available the better the chances are that there will be less accidental fires or lives lost in a community. While growing up not all children are raised the same way and this can lead to certain deficiencies in a variety of areas of education. Many parents may not think to education their children about fire safety or give them any insight into the importance of fire safety and the possible dangers associated with fire. This same idea should be applied to industries in the community. There are many hazardous and dangerous materials and activities that happen in day to day work activities. Inspectors working with companies throughout the community can ensure that they are taking the necessary precautions to keep themselves and their workers safe.…
