The positive aspect of collaboration initiative is when two or more people or groups come together to work and collaborate to accomplish a mutual goal. The foundation will be awarding a grant to an agency that unifies the city and brings awareness to the drug and gun violence our youth are currently facing. There are many positive aspects to collaboration by creating an opportunity for concerned citizens to come together and combined their collective ideas and knowledge about what would work in their city and what would not work. A collaborative initiative is beneficial than that of a ttraditional groups or organization that are vertically structured. Decisions are made at the top and people derive their influence and authority from their …show more content…
More than seventy-seven percent of this program dedicated there funding towards cleaning up the city. Money is allocated by the state to help pay for the local city parks and community areas. Providing additional monies for this poses as a waste. This program has a lot of other organizations working in it. When an organization has a secondary support to another organization, the comprehensive community program would not be their primary concern.
The criminal justice system that could help improve this program are the lawyers and state court system. The broken windows theory applies to this city and it appears that the city council is not taking its problem seriously. If the city officials invested time in learning about the Broken Window Theory they would direct and allocate funding to take steps like keeping buildings in good repair, maintaining clean streets and parks and making sure officers are responding effectively to petty street crime. This would help towards the prevention of crime and accomplish majority of their problem. A claim needs to be filed against the city or a new city council needs to be implemented to repair the long standing un cared for buildings and areas of the city. (Broken…) The district attorney works closely with the city officials and should also make sure they are doing their due diligence towards the city as an elected official. Another
Results from Chicago’s Project Safe Neighborhoods showed a 37 percent decrease each month in homicide cases. Before Project Safe Neighborhoods was created the homicide rate was up to 60 percent. Not only did Chicago see a difference in homicide rates, but, those who attended the small community programs were 30 percent less likely to return to prison. Research done through a survey with a 150 offenders showed that the small programs made a positive impact on showing a good relationship between the police and offenders. The

City Heights East is divided by many different ethnicities. There is 54.3% Hispanic, 20.9% Asian, 15% Black, 7.3% White, 2.2% mixed, and 0.3% other. With this data we can see that there is is range of different ethnicities and not one fully overrides other. This is a diverse community with some great cultures throughout. With this comes crime. With a total of about 30 assaults in the past year, there needs to be a sense of community rather than a sense of territory. Within this sections it will review the cost of living, the employment rates, the school’s, and the community organization. These are all important when looking at a specific crime and how to improve it within the community.
Successful teamwork and collaboration directly affects the efficacy of interdisciplinary communication. When effective communication is achieved within the healthcare team, this increases the amount of positive patient outcomes. Nurses and physicians must cooperate in order to attain a synergetic relationship. Their roles are integral to creating a safe environment for their patients. When all of these elements combine, the quality of care improves and collegial relationships are strengthened.
The two words most often used, ”cooperative and collaboration,” can easily be both applicable to the United States of America and other countries today, and are still often used to describe contract negotiations for the United States of America as well as other countries. (Barnardin & Russell, 2013).
The people in places like Baltimore have invented their own economy, one that relies on illegal trade, in order to stay afloat. The people have learned to live with their poverty and crime is generally their easiest solution. Rules must always be adapted so that a society can reasonably follow them, and a government must be seen as there to protect rather than to display its power. The government needs to be aware of a city’s condition and react with haste when it is in trouble; areas like the streets of Baltimore have been in turmoil for far too long, and their problems are slowly coming to a head. Programs such as those listed in the back of The Other Wes Moore are a great start to improve the conditions in Baltimore and other suffering cities, and the government’s focus should be on creating a better future for places like Baltimore rather than simply sustaining the current abhorrent conditions that have been present for far too long.
In the summer of 2005 I had the opportunity to intern at The Franklin Institute Museum in PA. This museum is one of the many well known science museums across the country. The Franklin Institute Museum is a unique museum that gives the experience of exploring science in a fun and fascinating way. The museum touches bases on many areas of science such as, anatomy, physics, environmental sciences, and space. The Franklin Institute is named after Benjamin Franklin and is the home of his national memorial statue. It was founded in 1824 and its first building was established in 1825; since then its location has changed with in the city of Philadelphia but it still remains to be one
Q1. Using the current exchange rate, what is the initial purchase cost per unit (in US dollars) paid to Dong Hai Supply? (Do not include transportation costs)
New York City during the 1990s has experience crime rates dropping dramatically under Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton lead. Both began new approach to policing by developing several new strategies under the proponent of “broken windows” theory. Under Bratton, the NYPD began to enforce statutes aimed at curbing “quality of life” offense, offenses that are minor and were overlooked in the past in favor to concentrate on serious crimes. Under the Broken Windows theory, small crimes leads to bigger crimes so taking a stance against the minor behavior sends a signal to the community that any kind of law breaking would not be tolerated. Community policing program was adopted in a minor form as police officials focused their
By using the artwork of the fantastic four (John Haward 2001) Appendix 1, I will explore how a team is different from a group. For this I will describe an award given to me as part of a team while working in a nurse led minor injury unit (MIU). By comparing the differences I shall highlight what makes a team effective rather than a collection of people.
This paper will cover two policing styles known as the “broken windows” theory and community policing. The paper will end with a small analysis of which style would be more practical long-term. This paper will start with an explanation as to what the “broken windows” theory is. Furthermore, this paper will cover some of advantages and disadvantages of that theory when put into practical application. Additionally, this essay will explain what “community policing” as defined by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS). This is followed by a brief discussion some advantages and challenges that are unique to that approach. Lastly, this paper covers which one would be more viable policing in the long-term.
The city Richmond, located in Virginia, is a huge city with small areas with high crime rates. Above all, Richmond is a beautiful city and not labeled as broken. Richmond offers a large amount of diversity, variety of foods, high amounts of education, many opportunities and more. The younger generation does many criminal acts because they lack knowledge and there is no hope for youth in some communities. Furthermore, Richmond is determined to fix a window before the whole community is full of broken window. Richmond offers counseling, church groups, mentors, school tutoring, and many more programs to help our community continue to be great. The Richmond population is about two hundred fourteen thousand people. A study of the violent crime comparisons that had a thousand residents. The study stated that a Richmond resident had a one in one hundred eighty six chances of becoming a criminal. The Richmond police strive to be a part of the community. There have been many community picnics and gathering to build a better relationship with the police and

Realizing that a group can become a high performance team is important. Accomplishing this goal is invaluable, advantageous and profitable. Once able to operate from a group to the high performing team is a great step into preparation into the big business world. Leaders and members must also realize not only how to accomplish this but that some problems will and can arise from different demographic characteristics and cultural diversity. That is if one is in such a group, which the probability would be quite high.
This about how to work with groups and other team members, most of the time it is hard to do but with our jobs nowadays we have to do what we have to do. I like working with others for the most part, especially when they are motivated in getting the job done in a timely manner. Then we have some that just don’t want to help but want everybody else to do their work for them.
