Why The State Is A Weak Player On Public Policy

Laws and policies are written in different aspects of the criminal justice system. Some of these policies are written within the federal government and some are written on a smaller scale in the state government. The two seem rather simple to understand on the surface. The federal government handles the entire United States whereas the state government handles just what it says and that is within that specific state, such as New Jersey (N.J.). The following paper will contain information which will compare and contrast the policies written from both types of governments and how they relate to the criminal justice system. There will be information on how these policies have been developed and how they are implemented. Some

A public policy is the body of principles that underpin the operation of legal systems in each state. In this paper I am going to talk about federal along with state policies. I will discuss each of the policies and how they are similar and how they are different. Federal and State policies are made to help keep our Country running smoothly. If there were no policies then keeping our Country safe would be a hard task. Policies are principles that are set to help make our Country operate on a daily bases. I like to think of it as rules that are set to keep our Country safe; because if there were no rules then everyone would be doing their own thing which could cause for a very disorganized situation.

People have been arguing for years about who should have more power, either the federal government or the state. People arguing that the states should have more power than the government because they care more about the people. Then other people will say that the federal should have majority of the power since they oversee everything the states do. I believe that the federal government and the state government should have shared power, but I think the federal government should have the powers such as declaring war and things to help the people as a whole. Then the states should have the power to do what they think is the best things for the people of their state.

For many years governments have been established to keep order and control. If the government has too much control what becomes of its people? America’s independence from Britain was July 4, 1776. The People of America no longer wanted the British government, so they would start a new one. The Americans did not want too much power from the government, so a new theory was set in place within the declaration of independence. In today’s time we very well suffer from the same thing. A government with too much power. War is usually the cause of letting the government have more power for the safety of the people, but even after the war the government keeps its power only to gain more and more after each war through its acts and policies written. The purpose of this essay is

There are various policies that has been adopted in different states and the identified policies varies from the establishment of evidence-based fall prevention programs; education and training of healthcare professionals; incorporation of fall prevention guideline into state and local planning that affect housing, transportation, parks, recreational facilities and other public facilities; and change of home modification policies. The two policies that were unique and aiming the different dimension of issues to prevent falls are discussed below:

The separate republics that were facing their own ethnic problems now had to cope with the fact that their citizens were going bankrupt. “From 1989 through September 1990, more than a thousand companies went into bankruptcy. By 1990 annual GDP growth rate had shrunk to –7.5 percent. In 1991, GDP declined by a further 15 percent, while industrial output shrank by 21 percent.” (Kiss). Within all of this more than half of the most prominent banks in Yugoslavia had gone bankrupt, losing all their clients money and anything financial of theirs. 1.3 million workers had lost their jobs by this time (World Bank). The governments of the individual republics refused to pay the preposterous federal taxes or import fees, that had been set up to try to restore some order within the national government. Some republics had access to bill-printing facilities and gave themselves short credit, without the federal government’s knowing. Previously coming into this predicament, “the past 20 years Yugoslavia had a 17% increase in their external debt every year”(Rasjic). The federal government was still taking money from outside countries knowing that they might not be able to pay it back, leading to an eventual collapse of the economy. The US and other countries felt a duty to help since Yugoslavia was a new country and many of the emigrants of Yugoslavia came to the Western countries. Despite the steadily rising inflation of foreign funds as loans,the Yugoslav economy achieved only a slight, if that growth. However, even this modest growth was not sustainable without continued foreign aid. In the 1980s and 1990s, was the only time when the true Yugoslav economy was seen by outside countries and the rest of the world. Just like an alcoholic must face the reality of his addiction, so did Yugoslavia, they faced the reality of the nothingness of Yugoslav economy without external

Public policy is an essential element of the United States’ government. Congress, the president, the Cabinet, as well as the thousands members of the bureaucracy, all play a crucial role in defining how political decision are made in the United States. Public policy not only shapes the national government, but it also shapes the state and local governments as well. Domestic, foreign, and economic policies are come together to form public policy as a whole and all deal with different issues and problems of the country. However, both the president and Congress both have unique powers and roles that influence public policy in the domestic, foreign, and economic spheres.

In any society, governmental entities enact laws, make policies, and allocate resources. Public policy can be generally defined as a law systems, strict measures, courses of action, and funding issues that about a given topic promulgated by a governmental entity or its representatives. Abortion is one issue that has been a matter of subject in government and citizens concerning its public policy. Over years the government has made decisions concerning the policy towards abortions in the United States of America. Abortion plays a major role in public policy on the issue of whether or not it is a public decision or a woman’s own private decision.

I have never really been a person for politics. It always seemed too easy to see people go into heavy defense mode to prove their points in an indecisive audience and try to share their opinions as facts. Meaningless arguments and pointless feuds start over miniscule topical topics. Fortunately in the area of anthropology, politics comes at a different context than to save its’ usual position for voting or presidential races. In anthropology, I learned about the politics of state matters. Finding out more than leadership but what keeps a group or community together or can tear citizens apart. I am a person who has dealt with projects of direct observation.

Timor-Leste has seen a change, with a decline in political stability and a rise in the absence of terrorism. “Until early 2006, the appearance of relative stability in post-independence- was important, as East Timor started its life as an independent state” (Kingsbury & Leach , 2007, p. 2). In 2000 it was a period of relatively stable governing, however it takes a sharp turn with the 2007 Parliamentary and Presidential elections. These elections, combined with the 2006 riots leaves Timor-Leste with high violence and a very low level of stability from their government. During the aftermath of this violence and unrest the governance indicators fell from 59 per cent to 19 percent which was recorded one year after the elections (The World Bank Group, 2015). This is a large drop, especially for a country which is in its infancy of independence. In a country which has just been given its independence it is hard to bounce back from such instability and violence, this is due to the lack of experience which many older independent nations would have the experience to control the situation. Due to their political system if one member on the voting ballot does not get 50 per cent plus one vote, they will go to a second vote with the two highest candidates. After this election campaign for presidency in April and subsequently, May there was the Parliamentary election in June. The Parliamentary election resulted in a split house with political parties having to align with each other in

I successfully published a paper on “Labor Market Flexibility and the Impact of the Financial Crisis” in Kyklos, a high-quality journal in political economics. In addition, my paper on “Legal and Actual Central Bank Independence: A case study of Bank of Indonesia” was published in the SOM Research Report. Following these publications, another paper that I wrote entitled, “Financial Crises and the Dismissal of Central Bank Governors: New Evidence” was also published in the International Journal of Finance and Economics. In order to the increase the impact of my paper to the academics and policy makers, I presented my paper on financial crisis and central bank independence at the Forum Kebijakan Pembangunan (FKP) held by the ANU Indonesia Project. I was also invited by the Asian Economic Panel (AEP) Conference to present my paper on Bank Indonesia’s legal and actual

After debt crisis, neoliberal policies, implemented by IMF and World Bank in 1982 and resulted by Washington Consensus, led to inequity in income distribution and increased poverty. In addition, these policies aimed transformation on social and political structure and established new institutions as an alternative interventionist model to state intervention. Thus, social unrest increased and new resistance mechanisms emerged as a reaction to neoliberal policies in 1990s. Resurgent social movements tended to break with neoliberal policies by producing alternatives. As an expression of this tendency, political results came out of these social movements.

The State however, has a lookout for general good as ascertained by Locke and people thrust their full trust on the on the State. This discretionary veiled power does not come on papers or official documents; it is seen in the decisions taken by the State on behalf of the entire nation. Locke further says,

There are approximately 3400 housing authorities in the United States. However, between 2011-2016 less than 22% of all housing authorities participated in the FSS program funded by HUD (HUD, 2017). These statistics demonstrates evidence of potential self-sufficiency services that low-income families are able to take advantage of; however, many do not. The housing authorities that are participating are providing an opportunity for families to achieve successful results. Houston housing authorities FSS graduates annual income average increased from $14,246 to $27,879, and averaged $3,000 in the escrow account (Fraser, 2014).

The outcomes of the past elections in Indonesia clearly show how promiscuous power sharing has led to the current challenges to Indonesia’s democratization. The election outcomes of 2004, 2009, and 2014 have proved that party cartelization among the political parties has continued to predominate in Indonesian politics. The 2004 elections marked the beginning of direct presidential and parliamentary elections. Yudhoyono was able to win the 2004 presidency due to PDI-P’s plummeting vote share and voter dealignment as all five major parties vote share have dramatically shrunk compared to the 1999 election (Slater 85). The dramatic decrease of vote share and serious voter dealignment issue were due to party cartelization of major parties followed by severe political corruption among the political elites in the PDI-P-Golkar coalition. This helped Yudhoyono and his party, PD, to gain popularity from the voters and win seats in the DPR. The PD under the leadership of Yudhoyono was able to defeat PDI-P’s Megawati in a landslide victory (“Unbuilding Blocs” 311). After Yudhoyono won his presidency, promiscuous power sharing continued as he launched his United Indonesia Cabinet (Honna 479), which included almost all major parties including PKS that promoted anti-corruption ideals by criticizing Megawati’s all encompassing coalition during her presidency (“Unbuilding Blocs” 311). This coalition disappointed PD leadership as Yudhoyono gave only one ministerial position to the party when
