On 07/25/2015 at approximately 0719 hours I, Officer Swedberg, was dispatched to the 600 block of N. Kingston to talk to a suspicious individual walking down the sidewalk. When I arrived a male individual was walking down the sidewalk, Southbound, with his shirt over his head.

I asked him if he wanted a ride, but he wanted to keep walking. End of contact.…

“People of color have borne an outsize burden of this injustice, but it impacts every New Yorker and the safety of the city as a whole when entire communities are afraid of the very police force that is supposed to protect them. It is time to transform the culture of the NYPD, from one of heavy handed disrespect for some to one of dignity, respect and accountability for all, so that every New Yorker is treated fairly and all feel safe, secure, respected and protected,” (“NYCLU,” 2013, pg.…

Murders, rapes, robberies, assaults, burglaries, and theft are all put into the same category, crime. Any of these crimes can relate to deaths. Which is something no one wants. Kansas City's violent crime and murder rates are among the nations highest, and has been for many years. its embarrassing that Kansas City is lumped together with other cities that are notorious for their high crime rates, such as Detroit, St.Louis, Oakland, Memphis, Atlanta, and Cleveland. Kansas City's crime risk is more tun three times the national average. i guess it could be worse. we could be St.Louis, the nations number one city for crime.…
Whenever we hear about crime statistic or the rate of crime in different parts of the United States, one state and city that is always mentioned is Illinois, Chicago. It is usually used as a tool for politicians and media outlets to combat racial inequalities, and police brutality against blacks and minority group by presenting skewed statistics about black on black crime, or poor living conditions in predominately black neighborhoods. But if were where to looks at UCR data and compare the crime trends in the city of Chicago over the period 2012-2014 with the national average for the same period we can see there is a small steady decline of violent and property crime. While Chicago is ranked one of the highest Cities for violent and property…

Man gunned down in the streets of New Orleans is the typical news headline in New Orleans. Crime has increased so drastically that citizens have moved to different parishes just to feel safe. The crime rate has increase and New Orleans has been labeled the “Murder Capital of the World”. There are undoubtedly many factors contributing to crime but the focus should be those connected to the root of the problem. The systems in New Orleans have failed our kids and it’s up to the citizens to begin the process of taking back our streets. Crime in the city is a great concern but if we can help change poor education, job opportunities and poverty this community can be what every citizen imagine too live in. Giving children some hope instead of turning the other cheek and watching them go down the wrong path in life can help. Taking back the streets of New Orleans is no easy task but as citizens we need to get more involved in the conditions and work together with finding the most effective solution.…
The early twentieth century brought about several progressive ideas for reforms, but there was little action upon those ideas. The crime rate did not experience any major change at the start of the new century; the types of crimes and violence level remained mostly unchanged (Oliver & Hilgenberg, 2010, 213-215). Strained race relations and poverty influenced much of the crime, as portrayed in the court case of the State v. John Dobias. One major theme seen within this case is the exploration of gender roles through rape in the American society and whether there is potential partiality towards the feminine gender. Moreover, it examines how dependency, in terms of poverty or orphanage, can influence the lives of an individual and how religious…
