The Struggle Of Private Verses Public Security

Guatemala’s population issues don’t just deal with the numbers. Even once their population growth is slowed to a safe level, the people of Guatemala deserve a higher quality of life on average. As stated before, more than half their population is below the poverty line. Approximately 30% of their labor force works in agriculture, and it only makes up 13.5% of their GDP. Many of the poorest households in this category

"Private security and public law enforcement share many of the same goals: preventing crime and disorder, identifying criminals, and ensuring the security of people and property," ("Private Security and Public Law Enforcement," n.d.). There are many more private security officers than public police officers, making tandem projects and collaboration essential ("Private Security and Public Law Enforcement," n.d.). There may be some overlap between public law enforcement and private security, but generally the latter can be more highly specialized and are therefore useful in situations such as campus security.

Public policing and private security have several distinct differences. Public policing is the ability to enforce the law and maintain order in society. Private securities are paid agencies that perform the protective and loss-prevention duties not handled by police officers. Yet public policing and private security offers the same services and duties. These services and duties are performed to achieve some of the same goals. Both serve as leaders in their line of work. The leadership requirements are regulated by two different standards. They both share a positive relationship with the criminal justice system. This

In the summer of 2014, as a part of the Global Medical Brigades, I visited and stayed at a small village in Nicaragua for 11 days. While visiting Nicaragua, I was really astonished by the lack of health care as well as, the lack of any health system in particular. Families did not have access to any type of medicine, unless they lived in the village and had money to spend. However, this was not the case for many of the families in the village so several of them suffered and fell ill to diseases and infections. Also, the water was not very clean and access to clean water, once again, could only be found in cities. About 50% of the population lives in poverty in which 85% of this population struggle to live on more than one-dollar daily (Balint 1999). Several communities are limited in their access to basic health services because of poor road infrastructure, which makes transportation and trade tremendously difficult. Historically, each step forward that Nicaragua has taken in the realm of development has been counteracted with a step back in the form of a revolution, natural disasters, repealing of funding for governmental projects or foreign aid. The focus of my research is observing and recording the factors that contribute to the high mortality rate of the Nicaragua populations and how these challenges can be combatted and resolved. My paper will discuss the inaccessibility of health care and why it is difficult to reach among populations that live in poverty and rural

Guatemala is a particularly large country in South America. The country’s terrain is dominated by mountains with narrow coastal plains, limestone plateaus, and volcanoes and jungles. The current population of Guatemala is 17,033,253 as of November 2017, according to the latest United Nations estimates (Guatemala Population (LIVE), 2017). The capital of the country is Guatemala City. For the past years, the politicians have been extremely corrupt. In 2016, Jimmy Morales had won the Guatemalan election to become the new president. His campaign slogan was “neither corrupt not a thief”. Because the people of Guatemala were beyond ready for a change in leadership, he won by a landslide. At the start of his term, people loved him and he seemed to be a great guy. He was a former comedian and not a politician so the people loved him. Unfortunately,

The country of Guatemala, located in Central America, is a developing country. Guatemala does not have a stable government as they have had a long history of dictatorships and had some representative governments throughout its history. Plus, the economy is very backward and not advanced. Guatemala’s location causes it to have many different types of terrains in the small country. It consists of beautiful highlands, fertile coastal lowlands and a central plateau. In spite of these beautiful lands, within the country, the government and economy are making a struggle to improve.

“Guatemala's 2015 population of 16.3 million makes it the most populous nation of Central America” (Population). Out if this number about 30,000 of them have left Guatemala as migrants (countrymeter). These migrants are leaving left and right fleeing to the United States from bad lifestyles causing an immigration crisis. They are fleeing from dangerous living conditions heading toward what they believe to be a better place. One mother came to America to get away from an abusive husband. She was emotionally and physacally abused and her husband even hired two men to kill her. She decined she had to leave when he began to threat thier daughter says her would rape her is she and the children didn”t leave (Guinan). Another

Guatemala’s economy is extremely poor compared to other countries. “The poor are getting poorer” is due to the low spending causing a poor infrastructure and slow growth. 40 percent of the country’s poor live on $1.50 per day. Guatemala’s economy has been growing steadily, but has been supported by private consumption. In other words, the government receives money based on what the people are buying for their households. The Guatemalan government fails to collect taxes from a large portion of their population. Therefore, the lack of money puts their economy in great risk when natural disasters occur. Their geography contains hills, mountains, poor soil, and volcanos. It is extremely difficult to build safe, secure houses with the lack of money and resources. People everyday live unsure when a natural disaster will strike and they are unable to protect their loved ones. Guatemala receives around 10 feet of rain during a 5 month rainy

Satisfying these conditions requires creating partnerships with local health stakeholders to generate sustainable health services and long-term medical records. A primary strategy of prioritizing treatment for acute sicknesses and infectious diseases over chronic and non-infectious cases in the interim should be utilized. Basic medical screening will permit monitoring of potential epidemiological and nutritional issues, and can permit capacity building for early detection of outbreak and enabling rapid responses. Linking health interventions to DDR can take the form of many types of programming. Therefore choice of programs should be based off an analysis of the political and legal arrangements of peace protocols, and the specific nature of the conditions on the ground. Local health sectors should be represented in all established programs to oversee the health intervention from the earliest possible stage. Including and utilizing local health care providers can ensure that local public health concerns are taken into account when key planning decisions are made.

Before we begin we must first understand the different definitions of proprietary and contract security operations. There are many definitions and explanations that are used to distinguish between the two but I will use the definitions provided by Fischer, in his book titled Introduction to Security. “Proprietary security operations are those that are “in-house,” or controlled entirely by the company establishing security for its operations” Fischer, Robert; Halibozek, Edward; Walters, David (2012-11-23). Introduction to Security (Kindle Locations 877-878). Elsevier Science. Kindle Edition. A good example of this would be if a company purchases all the equipment and security personnel to provide security functions

Since the transition, Guatemalans have participated in an election for the National Constituent Assembly (which produced the current Constitution in 1985), eight uninterrupted general elections to elect the executive and legislative branches of government as well as municipal authorities, and two popular consultations to reform the Constitution (1993 and 1999) (ASIES, 2012). (2) The end of political violence. It has been reduced exponentially during the 2000’s in comparison to past decades. However, violence has been transformed into issues related to organized crime and narco activity. And finally (3), the system has not suffered what Huntington (1994) noted as the authoritarian backlash against

Security in America has evolved from the time of the first settlers to today’s well-trained forces. Factors leading to the significant growth of private security from pre-Civil War to post World War II consisted of a lack of public police and large monetary loss by private industry. Today, security is global and faces challenges and changes, with increases in terrorism and technology crimes. It must maintain a high level of professionalism and maintain technological innovation remain a respected industry.

These would then improve the quality of living of the people in Guatemala. This was the best approach because I was able to examine aspects Guatemala needed to improve, according to past research, and then find out how those countries were able to overcome those obstacles or are trying to overcome them. For example, many sources wrote about Guatemala's weak tax system which prevented it from accumulating the appropriate funds so I decided to compared it to the US tax system which many would say is effective. I looked at the many issues the tax system had and saw how the United States overcame these issues. Then I decided which countries I would primarily compare to Guatemala. I chose the most economically stable and successful country in Latin America, Uruguay. It's best if its compared to Latin American country in order to demonstrate the success a Latin American country can possibly reach and to see where this region is on country development. I also decided to compare it to the United States because most people would recognize the country as a successful progressive country that is largely beneficial to its own people. To begin, I started by looking generally at Guatemala and issues tropical region countries face like, for example, the slow rate of global participation in trade and

The tension between national security and individual privacy has long existed even before the development of digitized information. Recently, two main forces have advanced the debate over this balance to the forefront of the public eye: 1) the proliferation of data by private sector companies and 2) the heightened need for homeland security and public defense. With the rapid evolution of technology, companies have aggregated pools of consumer data to improve upon internal decision making. In some cases, however, this data can be leveraged to ensure national security and public safety. This juxtaposition of enterprise and security results in a blurring of the line dividing public and private sector responsibilities. The question becomes an issue of moral obligation versus legal responsibility. What are we as consumers and citizens willing to sacrifice in exchange for safety? And does the private sector inevitably succumb to obligations originating from the public sector?
