DeBlasio plans on taking care of education by increasing parental engagement by including changes that require more information on the way co-locations will impact programs for students with disabilities in the building, establishing additional venues for parents to relay their concerns. Also Bill DeBlasio will fight against the unfair closure of struggling schools by creating specific plans that address their needs. Bill also will try to stop bullying in all school by having yearly workshops for bullying prevention, and examining data on bullying to help monitor schools anti-bullying strategies.

Economy wise DeBlasio will try to help small businesses by using a five-point plan for rational enforcement, based on public safety. He will also support immigrant businesses because they weren’t getting service help so Bill proposed a series of programs for the city to improve its support for immigrant entrepreneurs. Mr. DeBlasio will try to strengthen work standards by continuing to push for strong laws to protect more New Yorkers. Bill DeBlasio has decided to fight for more meaningful stop and frisk because he feels that it is being over used and abused. DeBlasio is also trying to increase police resources by trying to get a holding the line on headcount reductions, and addressing the systemic challenges contributing to crime. DeBlasio is also supporting common sense gun safety led the effort to divest public pension fund holdings in companies that manufacture the most dangerous weapons and launched the “Wall Street for Change” campaign to support gun divestment of prominent hedge funds and money managers

    The first district explored by the authors is the South Bronx. This is one of the poorest and most Democratic congressional districts in the United States. Some of the problems of this district are as follows: high percentages of children, high rates of infectious diseases and violate crimes (Dreier, Mollenkopf, & Swanstrom 4). The area has such a high poverty rate because the government pushed thousands of homeless families there. Despite these problems, the South Bronx has a few good aspects to it as well. Immigrants bring rejuvenation to the area, housing units are being built or redeveloped, and there are large numbers of thriving community groups (Dreier, Mollenkopf, & Swanstrom 5). This area shows the greatest sense of community. Church…

    A child with disabilities is a major focus in today’s education. Achieving my Bachelors in Special Education, I need to be aware of the need to ensure appropriate education for all children with disabilities. “The education of children with disabilities is a top national priority. Our nation’s special education law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), sets high standards for their achievement and guides how special help and services are made available in schools to address their individual needs (National Dissemination)”. This is my biggest challenge. I feel with the right tools and help with administration; my job will guarantee a bright future for my students with disabilities. I came across a case, Irving Independent School District v. Amber Tatro. The findings of this case gave me some insight on the statues and limitations that I as an educator have to abide by. But it also gave me hope that we the educators have the right to make such access meaningful to handicapped children.…

Now, NYPD’s results oriented strategy needs to sustain its momentum and continue to produce results, despite falling budgets, labor disputes and difficulty in getting resources allocated.

    Racial Profiling Summary

    One could also argue that the president of the U.S, Donald Trump, claimed that the use of stop and frisk reduced crime in NYC. However, what Johnson and Trump fail to realize is that the data they are referring to is all inaccurate because it was based on racial profiling. The use of stop and frisk proved that officers focus more on skin color rather than the behavior of an individual, proving that criminological data will mostly always be inaccurate. According to the accurate data presented by Christopher Mathias, nearly 80% of stops were blacks and Latinos and 13% of them were whites yet, “a weapon was found in only 1.8 percent of blacks and Latinos frisked, as compared to a weapon being found in 3.8 percent of whites frisked.” Over 70% of the stops were blacks and Latinos and still whites had a higher percentage of carrying a weapon, which is over 50% of the cause for…

    Today around 1,400 citizens in New York City will have their constitutional rights violated through an unlawful search. The legal term for the controversial search is stop and frisk. The New York Police Department continues to pressure its officers to stop and frisk citizens, and these situations are happening at an alarmingly increasing rate. For the New York Police Department, it seems to be a game of numbers as they continue to force their officers to conduct stop and frisks through quotas (Gangi). While New York City has seen a decrease in crime over Mayor Bloomberg's term, it is difficult to directly correlate the stop and frisk policy with these decreases. This unlawful practice needs to stop as it is a controversial practice that many people believe is a direct violation of the human rights inherent for citizens. Furthermore, it could turn New York City into a police state.…

In addition to responding to 911 calls, the NYPD also conduct patrols by foot and car to ensure the public’s safety. Keeping New York City (NYC) safe is a vital mission of the NYPD. Most residents that reside in NYC appreciate the efforts of the NYPD in keeping their neighborhoods safe; however in conjunction with safety the residents of NYC should trust the police that patrol their neighborhoods. This trust is called into question regarding the highly debated stop and frisk program conducted by the NYPD. Throughout the years there has been expressions of contentment and uneasiness regarding the stop and frisk program.

    In the city where crime was at all time high during the nineties, the top politicians in New York City decided that something should be done to help stop crime. The NYPD implemented the “Stop and Frisk” policy to bring the crime rate down in the city. However it did more than exceed its expectations and it has been more of a negative than a positive. This policy created tension between the NYPD and the law abiding citizens of New York City because thousands stopped were people of the Black and Latino communities. According to the US Census Bureau NYC has a population of 8,336,697 people. Blacks and Latinos make up 53% of the city population. 85% of New Yorkers stopped are Black and Latino men and 6% of that number actually led to an arrest (NYCLU). At this shocking percentage, it’s apparent that this policy is discriminatory against Blacks and Latinos. Not only is this policy discriminatory, it has violated citizens constitutional rights and been deemed racial profiling.…

    To frisk, or not to frisk? That is the question many may be asking after the first presidential debate on September 26th, 2016. During that debate, the topic of ‘stop and frisk’ came about and Donald Trump strongly advocated the extensive use of it. Lester Holt, the debate’s moderator, interjected himself into the conversation and attempted to fact-check Trump by claiming, erroneously so, that ‘stop and frisk’ is unconstitutional. So, is this policing policy being utilized appropriately?…
