In February of 2015, I attended the Mayoral Candidate Debate . This was my first time ever attending a political event, outside of voting.

For an example, a boy living in a poverty stricken home may feel like the only way to get his/her family out of the poverty stricken area is to join a gang. Not only do youths join gangs in the mindset of wreaking havoc, it might

Prohibition and The Advancement in Organized Crime Organized crime in the United States dates back to the early 1800s. Crime was a means for immigrants who worked for low wages and lived in poor areas to survive. Gangs, violence and police corruption have all been a way of life for immigrants to make their rise to money and power; but it wasn’t until the passing of the Volstead Act in 1920 that organized crime and the big bosses behind the operations made a name for themselves. Prohibition was

Crime Data Comparison While analyzing the data in the FBI Uniform Crime Report data I selected two different metropolitan areas that meant something to me. One of the metropolitan areas I chose was because I was born and raised there. Although I do not live there, it means a great deal to me, that is the reason I chose Los Angeles, CA. Although I love Los Angeles I also experienced crime there including aggravated assault and armed robbery and although unpleasant and scar these are realities people
