...What variables affect the difference in crime rates throughout the neighborhoods of a city? By Anna Burns Introduction: This project is a focus on how variables such as population, ethnicity, and income affect crime rates throughout different neighborhoods throughout a city. I feel that this information finding this information could be useful to many people. For example if you are looking to buy a new home or even start a new business, you’ll probably want it located in a safe neighborhood. This study will help identify the signs of a safe neighborhood. Knowing why crime rates are higher in some areas may also help prevent the crime rate to rise in other neighborhoods. For example, if crime rates are higher in neighborhoods with a higher percent of vacant houses, a city might give incentives for home buyers to buy houses in those neighborhoods to fill those vacant houses. Data and Variables: Most of my data came from the 2010 census, so my sample is only from 2010. With only one year of data some results may be skewed. I tried getting data from other censuses but it was not easily retrievable and some parts of the data were missing. The different quantitative variables I am using separated by neighborhood are median household income, total population, ethnic makeup (divided into white, Hispanic/Latino, Black/African America, ect…) total crimes, and housing units (vacant, occupied). The categorical variables I am using are neighborhood, community (group of neighborhoods...

...“Conviction in 2005 assault of Foggy Bottom vendor thrown out over police interrogation.” by Keith L. Alexander, dated January 5, 2013. SUMMARY The D.C. Court of Appeals overturned the conviction of James A. Dorsey. Dorsey was charged with assaulting and robbing 83 year old elderly women on May 3, 2005. The Court of Appeals found that detectives improperly interrogated Dorsey for 13 hours and didn’t give him his Miranda Warnings. Dorsey was found guilty and sentence to 14 years in prison. The conviction was overturned and the court ordered a new trial. Dorsey Fifth Amendment rights were violated according to a 5-2 ruling for the D.C. Court of Appeals. U.S. attorney office is reviewing the ruling. Prosecutors could retry this case. ANALYSIS Keith L. Alexandria of the Washington Post is correct when he wrote this article to uncover the violations the police department conducted when interrogating James Dorsey for the crime of assault against an 83 year old woman. Alexander presents a perspective that favors the defendant, when exploiting the fact that police detectives improperly interrogated Dorsey, and failed to give him his Miranda warning before questioning him about the crime. This action resulted in the violation of Dorsey’s Fifth Amendment rights, which got his conviction, overturned and ordered a new trial. Alexander makes good points when presenting the facts of Dorsey’s Fifth Amendment right violation while also informing his readers about the victim’s friend’s...

...Macro aggregates are the economic indicators that describe the conditions of an economy. Examples of macro aggregates include national income, unemployment, inflation, exchange rate, remittance, total consumption and investment, export, import, balance of payments, national budget etc. This paper is mainly focused on analysis on four macro aggregates such as inflation, remittance, exchange rate and export between two different time period i.e. October to December 2012 and October to December 2011. Data are collected through websites of Bangladesh Bank and Export Promotion Bureau of Bangladesh. * Inflation In economics, inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. Consequently, inflation also reflects erosion in the purchasing power of money – a loss of real value in the internal medium of exchange and unit of account within the economy. A chief measure of price inflation is the inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in a general price index (normally the consumer price index) over time. Rate of Inflation (as measured by CPI, base 1995-96) | October, 2012 | September, 2012 | October, 2011 | Point to point | 7.22% | 7.39% | 11.42% | Monthly Average(Twelve Month) | 9.33% | 9.69% | 10.18% | Source: BBS (Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics) Inflation declined for the month in October 2012.

...------------------------------------------------- Regulators In India * Reserve Bank of India(RBI) * Securities Exchange Board in India(SEBI) * Insurance Regulatory Development Authority(IRDA) * Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) * FSDC OVERVIEW A regulator is a public authority or government agency responsible for exercising autonomous authority over some area of human activity in a regulatory or supervisory capacity. An independent regulatory agency is a regulatory agency that is independent from other branches or arms of the government. Regulatory agencies deal in the area of administrative law—regulation or rulemaking (codifying and enforcing rules and regulations and imposing supervision or oversight for the benefit of the public at large). The existence of independent regulatory agencies is justified by the complexity of certain regulatory and supervisory tasks that require expertise, the need for rapid implementation of public authority in certain sectors, and the drawbacks of political interference. Some independent regulatory agencies perform investigations or audits, and some are authorized to fine the relevant parties and order certain measures. Regulatory agencies are usually a part of the executive branch of the government, or they have statutory authority to perform their functions with oversight from the legislative branch. Their actions are generally open to legal review. Regulatory authorities are commonly set up...

Political profile is one of the most important factors to consider since the government is the one who gives financial support to accomplish certain projects or plans. The city of Intramuros has many things to offer. Even if it is not blessed with natural and archeological resources, the “walled city” is rich in history and culture that plays a major role in preserving our heritage and national identity since, it is easily overlooked by many Filipinos.
