National Victimization Survey
Left realists argue that the national victimization research, such as the British Crime Survey, can been used to give an average risk rate that ignores the variations in crime between areas. Such studies can be used to view people's fear of crime as 'irrational'. According to Young, "The (local) victimization survey accurately provides a map of the problems of an area. Although based on public input, it delivers what any individual member of the public is ignorant of: that is how private problems are publicly

    Holland Marsh Research Paper

    The Holland Marsh is a crucial part of Ontario’s agriculture economy as it brings in over $1 billion of revenue each year. Various types of crops are grown each year, including onions, carrots, cabbage, potatoes and peas. However, majority of the farms are allocated specifically for onions and carrots as they are the most popular crops and bring in the most revenue. Prior to 1954, the Holland Marsh went through various stages of change. Before the 1900’s, the Marsh was a source of food for aboriginals and european settlers who would also fish and hunt. In the early 1900’s, talks about draining the Holland Marsh for agriculture use began to arise. Eventually construction began in 1925 and a canal system was created to divert the Holland River.…

    Research Plan Com 156 (Hate Crimes)

    As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing.

    energy systems

    In the 5000m race the runner must use all 3 energy systems , which are ATP, aerobic and lactic acid systems to succeed as the race has different areas needed for their use, all 3 energy systems contribute regardless of the intensity or duration of the exercise. When the athlete comes to the starting line he/she most probably will want to make a dashing start to the race to tactically get a good starting position, so must get off the line, in the first 40-50m, as hard as he or she can. By getting off the line as fast as the athlete can, they will both set themselves up with a good strong fast early rhythm, but also by getting near to the front of the pack they will be able to choose their position in the early portions of the race. But to achieve take off and the short sprint they must use the creatine phosphate system which uses ATP molecules as energy for any muscle contraction to occur, obviously when exercising at a high level like sprinting more ATP are needed to supply the energy, but because stores only last for up to 4 seconds the body needs a system that can re-synthesise adenosine die phosphate in to Adenosine tri phosphate very quickly when an individual starts to exercise. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are digested to provide a source of energy. Carbohydrates are usually in the short term and fats are mainly used in the long term, protein is used as a stand by source of ATP. To get carbohydrates we can eat foods such as potatoes, rice, bread and fruit, and when they are digested they release glucose which is then stored in the body as glycogen, to supply energy to the phosphates, this is known as anaerobic glycolysis, and also used when exercise is at high intensity. The athlete does need to be weary of how long they use this system at the start of the race because could run out of fuel to supply the ATP which can only run anaerobically for up to 3 min which would lead to an unwanted substance early on in the race called lactic acid which would…

    Abuse and National Crime Victimization

    WEAVE was established in 1978 to help women of domestic violence. Since then the program has grown and more services have had to be provided to help women. This program has grown because the needs for these services have grown. It can be economical, social, or even religious acceptance. But more and more we see women still being victimized and abused by their partners. These are women who are our mothers, sisters, grandmothers, etc. It is said that women experience about 4.8 million intimate partner-related physical assaults and rapes every year.

    Hate Crimes Against Women

    When the Hate Crime Statistics Act was passed, signed into law and reauthorized, it did not include hate crimes against women as a class (The Leadership Conference ). Since there is no official inclusion of gender-based crimes associated with the Hate Crime Statistics Act, the statistics and tracking of increase or decrease of these crimes are not apart of federal law or the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) of hate crime and remain unknown (Criminal Justice). However, there are still various hate crimes committed against women everyday which include: murder, rapes and various types of domestic violence.…

    Hate Crimes in America

    How serious should the threat of a hate crime be taken? According to Ellis Cose, the African American author of Ignore the Noose Makers, to pay too much attention to the idiocy of those who hang nooses simply to intimidate their black target, “is to grant them an importance they do not deserve.” Nooses have a horrific history associated with them. They are known to be used in lynching (punishing people for crimes by private citizens without trial, whether they are guilty or not), of which three quarters of the cases in American history were against blacks. George Curry, another African American author of Calling Nooses What They Are – Terrorism, feels strongly that these threats are not to be taken lightly, and with that attitude people will not be able to “bridge the racial divide.” The American people are protected from hate crimes and verbal threats, and the hanging of a noose is a threat in itself of which their victims deserve protection from.…

    Victim Facilitation

    Victim facilitation, precipitation and provocation are three terms used to describe a victim’s role in a crime. Furthermore, they each focus on the prevalence of the victims involvement, minimizes victim blaming and enhances victim personal responsibility. First, victim facilitation, is used in a way as to not blame the victim but to blame the interaction that the victim has that makes them susceptible to becoming a victim of crime (Karmen, 2016). In victim facilitation, researchers study the actions that make a victim vulnerable to victimization. The text states that "victim facilitation ought to be reserved for situations in which victims carelessly and inadvertently make it easier for a thief to steal (Karmen, A., 2010)." Their carelessness…

    As with Hieroglyphics, the best place to start is to learn the "alphabetic" signs - those signs representing a single consonant. Since most people using these lessons will probably already be familiar with Hieroglyphic writing, the following table gives correspondences between the Hieratic characters, and the equivalent Hieroglyphs (from which they are derived). Since Hieratic was written from right to left, the signs (both Hieratic and Hieroglyphic) are shown facing right as they would in actual texts.…
