...There was a case I assisted with before I left the gang unit that expressed some characteristics of the distance between hits analysis. My partner received a complaint from a concerned citizen that we encountered while conducting a gang presentation at the citizen’s academy. Her concerns was a house in the neighborhood that was abandoned. It seemed to be the nucleus of several incidents relating to guns, drugs, and violence. We quickly began working on the complaint attempting to identify the gang nexus so that our supervisor would not have a problem with us working a new case. I did some research on a few individuals who had reports linked to the address and was able to identify a hybrid gang called “Crete Mob” who was associated with...

...friends and I threw a mini house party in an abandoned house and everyone knows that no one is suppose to trespass in another abandoned house. That was the dumbest thing we could have ever done and we sure did learn our lesson that night. I wouldn’t regret any moment of it but the consequences made me second think my answer. Trespassing can get an individual in so much trouble but trespassing and throwing a party in an abandoned house is way beyond extravagant. We broke the rule because we wanted to enter high school as the popular kids and we wanted to feel like movie stars because of it. When trespassing you can face so many different charges that it's almost ridiculous. Also there's two types of trespassing you have defiant trespassing which means that a person who commits a petty disorderly offense or even if he or she had been notified against trespassing but still chose enter or remain in a place can just get a brief warning could have been verbal or even via fencing so it could keep intruders out. Then in our case we have the unlicensed entry of structures which is by far more serious and it means that the person trespassing knowing that he or she is not privileged to do so and that person enters regardless. Breaking the rule at first made us feel so good but deep down inside for me I felt such guilt and after the fact it made me feel horrible. It was Halloween and my friends and I had nothing better to do except for sitting in the house or going trick or treating but...

He looked around the room as he stretched waking himself up. It was an averaged sized room, a window where there was a board nailed from the inside, to stop sunlight coming in. The far wall to his right had a fire place, in which he has stored a few old newspapers he has found on the streets, it stares at him wanting to be set alight but without any wood, it is no use to him. The mornings are the coldest times of the night/day due to the frosts, so he believes if he gets up early enough he won’t be so cold....

...50 years later. "Hey look at this!" shouted Piero. "It looks like someone's bones. Who lived here before it was abandoned?" Bartolomeo walked over the small, deconstructed area of brick over to where Piero was standing and bent down. "It's definitely some sort of bones. The question is who or what's bones. I'm not entirely sure who lived here before it was abandoned. We'll have to report this to the captain, I bet he knows who might have been looking for this." Bartolomeo sat down across the seat from the police captain, Francesco. "You know those bones you found earlier this week in the abandoned house on Via Volterrana?" Francesco asked Bartolomeo. "Yes, of course. Did you identify whose bones they were?" "No, not necessarily. We...

Pet abandonment becomes a huge problem worldwide. There are countless millions of cats and dogs put to death every year, simply because people want to breed more pure blood pets, or just because they are not able to survive after they got abandoned. Majority pets got abandoned will have their lives forcefully ended feeling terrified, alone and unloved.

Luckily, there are still groups of kind people in this world who would provide abandoned pets shelters, food, and love selflessly. I have always wanted to volunteer in an animal shelter, but it is quite difficult because volunteering at animal shelters usually requires several months of training and classes which my schedule doesn’t allow me to participate. After surfing on the Internet for 3 hours, I found Cats Haven. Cats Haven is Indianapolis’s oldest non-profit, no-kill, free-roaming feline sanctuary. It has been serving the Central Indiana community by specializing in care for special needs and elderly felines for over 25 years.

...To what extent have the modern Conservative Party abandoned their traditional policies? Conservatism is a state of mind or political movement which is natural adverse to excessive change and reform and generally supports the retention of traditional values and institutes. The current Conservative government however is more in the centre rather than further to the right, due to the new tradition that emerged in the 1790’s, under Margaret Thatcher called New Right conservatism, or Thatcherism. There is great debate as to whether the modern conservative party have retained any of their traditional, original policies. One way in which the modern Conservative party has abandoned its traditional policies is the role the state takes in the country. Traditionally the role of the state was limited, with little economic or social intervention, linking directly with the Conservative idea of change should be avoided, however the modern Conservative party has taken the view that the state places a key part in increasing opportunities and reducing poverty, with less regulation at a local level. This directly abandons the traditional policies as this policy aims for the state to help socially - through reducing poverty and economically - through acting more quickly on things. This can be seen as a good thing however, as people prefer to see the government taking a more involved effort, which is not what the traditional policies of the Conservative party believed the role of state should...

...Concept Gerardo de Lago Abstract Modern policing have taken various forms as police chiefs looks for better ways to protect their communities, within all the available policing theories we analyzed the Broken-window concept. This policing process was defined on the 1980’s and applied to city areas where abandoned areas and disorder where obvious and led to crime controlled areas and the corresponding citizens fear to walk their own community streets at night. The theory compares the abandoned areas as parks, bus stops and empty building with an empty house where a first window is broken and if not promptly fixed other windows will be broken and very soon the house will be vandalized, doors broken open and interiors painted with graffiti. When community rules are not clear and follow by all members, a small portion will take advantage and create fear on the citizens. The basic assumption is that unattended behavior will lead to breakdown of community control. Broken Window Concept Broken-window concept is part of several different concepts developed to find a applicable strategy to overcome crime on communities, this concept is based on the hypothetic idea of an abandoned building in which someone just broke a window, the theory states that if that initially vandalized window is not promptly fixed another one will be broken and very soon the whole building will be attacked. During this paper we will discuss the basis of this theory and why the broken-window concept explains...

...Gerson Lopez 4/20/13 Purvis English Image Analysis Essay on the torture of a prisoner by U.S army officers The picture shows two U.S army officers pointing a rifle at a man who appears to be, based on his complexion, Middle Eastern, perhaps Iraqi or Afghani. That prisoner has blood all over his chest, so the viewer can infer that before they pointed at him and shot him with a rifle, they took off his shirt. The viewer could also infer that the U.S Army officers kicked and punched him. It is quite possible that he was bitten by a dog. However, the prisoner is still standing despite all the torture that he has gone through. From all the blood on his chest and the fact that his shirt that has been taken off, the viewer can see that he has been mistreated and been beaten to a mess. The image shows that torturing prisoners as part of war is immoral. The image of Blood pouring outside a man’s body or mutilation of blood is an example or another part of torture because it evokes fear. One can see that there is blood on his chest, pouring down on his stomach and onto to his pants. Some pieces of the shirt are cut-off and he probably did not take off his own shirt; it was probably forcibly taken off by the U.S Army soldiers...

...House of the Sleeping Beauties possesses themes of inevitable death, senility versus youth, and nostalgic love. These themes are relevant to Kawabata, who was growing old, experienced heartbreak, and had seen all of his close family die when he was young. Kawabata formulated the plot for House of the Sleeping Beauties by drawing from his personal experience of having withdrawals from sleep medication which caused him to drift between sleep and wakefulness (Haruki 434). Eguchi possesses a multitude of similarities to Kawabata. Emulating Kawabata, Eguchi was elderly, orphaned, and bereft of his lovers. The themes of eroticism and death that permeate the novel, both in its premise and culmination, feign the romantic pursuits of Kawabata’s adulthood and the tragedies of his childhood. Kawabata ends The House of the Sleeping Beauties very abruptly, not providing much resolution to readers, which makes sense if one views the novel as a chronicle of his life. Kawabata’s life had not ended; therefore, there would be no clear ending to the story. Evidently, House of the Sleeping Beauties evidently a manifestation of Kawabata’s internal conflict over age and...

Hansel takes a slice of bread and leaves a trail of bread crumbs to follow home. However, after they are once again abandoned, the children find that birds have eaten the crumbs and they are lost in the woods. After days of wandering, they follow a beautiful white bird to a clearing in the woods and discover a large cottage built of gingerbread and cakes, with window panes of clear sugar. Hungry and tired, the children begin to eat the rooftop of the candy house, when the door opens and a "very old woman" emerges and lures them inside, with the promise of soft beds and delicious food. They comply, unaware that their hostess is a wicked witch who waylays children to cook and eat them. The next morning, the witch locks Hansel in an iron cage in the garden and forces Gretel into becoming a slave. The witch feeds Hansel regularly to fatten him up, but Hansel cleverly offers a bone he found in the cage (presumably a bone from the witch's previous captive) and the witch feels it, thinking it is his finger. Due to her blindness, she is fooled into thinking Hansel is still too thin to eat. After weeks of this, the witch grows impatient and decides to eat Hansel, "be he fat or lean." She prepares the oven for Hansel, but decides she is hungry enough to eat Gretel, too. She coaxes Gretel to the open the...

...How does Tennyson use setting to build the character of Mariana? As a character we can see that Mariana is completely combined with her setting; all of her surroundings affect her and the way she acts. “The broken sheds look’d sad and strange” this shows that they almost didn't belong there; it depicts sad emotions with gloomy imagery in the world with lost love. The sense of them being broken could reflect Mariana as damaged, showing that something significant has happened in her life to change her and as a result become sad. From the beginning I can see that in Tennyson’s own introspection is through the use of psychology, he uses descriptions of the natural world to portray the psychological status of the character. The setting could also be seen that it is being affected by her. Tennyson describes it as “Flower-plots were thickly crusted, one and all: the rusted nails” the use of the words ‘crusted’ and ‘rusted’ are used to display the symbolic message of goodness being buried beneath a significant amount of resiliency. It also presents the strength of something that has now decayed and turned brittle. The crust hast been described as ‘thickly’ which shows the significance of how long it has stayed there and also how hard is will take for it to be uncovered; this could be a reflection of Mariana and how long she would have to wait for her lover/companion to come. The natural order is affected by her; her stagnation is not through her language but through nature; therefore...
