City Beat Analysis

In the memoir, “Another Bullshit Night in Suck City” by Nick Flynn, drug use plays a huge role. Throughout the memoir, Flynn describes his father’s struggles with alcoholism and how it continually caused negative events in his life. Along with his father he also explains the drug use of his mother and friends. Flynn not only describes the consequences of other’s drug use, but also his own. During his memoir, Flynn continually gives drug use a negative connotation, through the actions and decisions of his characters.

By making a new resource base, this has helped the police find a more successful alternative instead of arrest. When police encounter an offender, there is the option for the officer to use discretion. Instead of offenders being detained, the police can recommend for offenders enroll in some sort of

Many teenagers need role models and need help with decision making. I feel that learning about the FBI and/or other law enforcement agencies can curb some of their destructive decisions that some may make. Knowing local and federal laws are a good way to guide them down the right path. I have built strong relationships with current and

During my first two and a half of years at Miguel Contreras High School, I participated in the Los Angeles Police Department Cadets youth program. My involvement in the eight week training academy helped me learn how to face difficult gang and drug related situations, improve my team building skills, and express my ideas better. I was able to develop my confidence by sharing ideas with my peers and figuring out different methods on how to capture the attention of our targeted audience. In addition to the LAPD Cadets Academy, I also volunteered and tutored second and third graders at Frank Del Olmo Elementary School. With my determination to motivate the kids I decided to create an agenda that would help them even when they would get

Throughout the story, Lost in the City by Edwards P. Jones there are many different ways the city influences the different characters. Lost in the City takes the reader through some difficult times of many African Americans in Washington. The different characters form bond that cannot be broken in order to handle what life throws at them. In the stories "The Girl Who Raised Pigeons" and "The First Day" the city influences the different main characters in different ways, to help them come of age.

These arrests included: disorderly conduct, drug violation, runway, curfew/loitering. With the high number of African Americans arrest, they desperately need evidence-based practices that will work for them. The program will target the juveniles and their families that live in low income/poverty areas. Statistics have shown that most crimes take place in in low-income/poverty areas. Low income means that the person has a small amount of money. Poverty means that that person is

He really enjoyed seeing how his work affected students’ lives for the better. His least favorite part of this job was dealing with the parents because a lot of parents would not believe that their child had done anything wrong, so they would not help turn their child away from dangerous activities. This perspective is interesting because it shows that parents do not always know what their child is doing and may be too stubborn to address an issue that concerns police.

(3) A challenge that seems to be prevalent in elder abuse is that it flies under the radar. A lack of awareness and preparation appears to be the culprit, so the abuse may be missed by people who are able to help because they did not know what to look for, or how to intervene. Therefore, I thought it was a good idea to give law enforcement agencies a seminar on abuse against older adults and the implementation of the app for officers who are not able to take a class since they are usually the first responders in an abuse case. Also, the idea

This program, also, educates the beneficiaries on the basics of the criminal justice system. The program is staffed by volunteer prosecutors, local law enforcement officers, and court officials. The Board Kids, an initiative that brings together law enforcement officers and the at-risk youth to play board games, acts as an ice-breaking event that builds a rapport between law enforcement mentor and the at-risk youth. The Real Men Read is another initiate that target young men who are at-risk of engaging in criminal activities. This initiative uses male role models to promote education and life skills training with a view of increasing future employment opportunities. In 2015, this initiative benefited 355 young men (Riverside County,

This program received much ridicule from law enforcement professionals as it decreased, in their eyes, the versatility of their service to the community. It seemed as that in removing officers from their patrol vehicles, it would not allow them to respond quickly to other calls and better protect their patrolled communities. As they came to find, it actually gave the people in those communities a greater sense of security and pride in their home turf.

By understanding how individuals are impacted by being discriminated or exposed to the injustice of policing at a young age allows for better understanding of why this is happening. Then expand to apply intuitional changes beyond mentioned such as creating spaces for youths to talk about their views on discrimination on policing and create a sense of community within the schools allowing them to grow and continue their

Why do people wish to leave New York so badly? Leaving New York is full of sad goodbyes and lasting memories. It might be a forceful pulling away if someone does not want to go. The authors seem to be attempting to escape the insanity. They all have a different take on what it means to leave New York and their personal viewpoints on why they left. Whether it was for sanity, love, less hardship, or more money. Between Fitzgerald in My Lost City, Didion in Goodbye to All That, Ptacin and Strayed in Why Writers Love New York and (Then Leave It) each had the same idea which is that leaving New York is the best thing they ever did regardless of what there is to offer they found more. The city shatters one’s illusions one by one the illusions one has of the city will eventually be destroyed.

I decided to ask Mr. Wagner about the things he loves most about his job. I was humbled to hear how big of a heart he had. He said his favorite thing to do as an officer, is go to the elementary schools and teach children about law enforcement and safety. I could really tell he cares deeply about what these young minds think of him. He emphasized how he doesn’t want children to be afraid of him or his co-workers. This is such a huge misconception he deals with. I can see some truth in that, obviously in the beginning of my paper, I felt intimidated, and I think a lot stems from my childhood. I don’t ever remember law enforcement coming to the schools to promote safety and teach us how we can trust these officers. I do remember the D.A.R.E. program, however that just touched on being drug free. All in all, I can tell he is genuine when he says he loves to help people. I then proceeded to ask him

The song “Beat it” by Michael Jackson represents the character Demetrius from Midsummer Night’s Dream. This song represents Demetrius due to the fact that Demetrius does not like Helena. Also how he is always trying to avoid her also making reference to the song title because he wants her to “Just Beat It,” (Jackson Line 13). In the song he states “Don’t want to see your face, you better disappear” (Jackson Line 2). The song is saying how he wants someone to disappear and go away and this relates to Demetrius due to the fact that Demetrius has love for Hermia not Helena so he wants Helena to “Just Beat It” and leave him alone.

The song “Secrets” by The Weeknd portrays the jealousy that men face when they date a beautiful woman. In the song, The Weeknd suggests this in the progression of events that ultimately lead back to the claim that he knows his girlfriend is cheating. In the first verse, he states that she is desired by every man and he states “And I know that you want him too” to suggest there is a reoccurring man that she cheats on him with. However, while he is accusing her of infidelity, he calls her “my love” eight times to show that he still loves her despite her actions. In the second verse, he says “you told me not to worry 'bout those guys” essentially calling her out on the many times she lied to him. The chorus is the part of the song in which he
