Many businessmen during the late 19th century were afraid of their workers to go on strike. This is no surprise that by 1880, every large U.S. city had established a police force (Waxman). Police officers are mainly instructed to protect the people and property. Officers have numerous of duties, which include, patrolling, traffic control, responding to 911 calls, writing citations, and arresting violators. Police Officers are even called to testify in court on a case they might have seen or possibly even handled.

Mr.Ewell’s children don’t go to school so the family is uneducated and can only get jobs in labor, just like most Indians but in their case they are just uneducated or had a very terrible education and Indians know each other but aren’t known outside of the Rez, it is the same case for Mr Ewell. Mr Ewell used the courtroom case to gain attention and also empathy for his family but after a while he was “as forgotten as Tom Robinson” (248) which hurt him. The irony is that fought so an innocent person goes to jail so he could get attention and after a while he was just as forgot. It is so ironic because after you wanted something for so long and hurt other people to get it then everything that he hurt people for goes away so quickly. It connects to the theme of racism on both sides because Mr Ewell isn’t on any side that's why he doesn’t have any attention as stated by Jem she lives like a Negro so White person will not talk to her and she is white so no black person will talk to her (192).It is like a baby who will cry when they feel lonely so the parents will come give attention to

The United states and their police forces are doing the best they can to help keep the peace, but from bad publicity and less community policing they can barely hold on. Also anti-police movements of citizens who disagree with the force officer's use during arrests makes the officer's concern for safety even greater.

Next the police are targeted by people and have been in the 60s and more recently in the past couple months.

Many people believed that the bad air smell caused most illnesses, which was found to be true due to the rotting garbage and insufficient sewers. To keep out the air many kept their doors closed to keep the bacteria out, but little did they know keeping the doors closed only kept the bacteria in, and didn 't let it out. During this time there wasn 't a very good understanding of nutrition. Work was started at an age where the body was still developing. Along with the long hours and physical stress of having to work in wet, cold environments many people suffered from exhaustion which could of potentially killed them.

It is also called as “zero tolerance” policing. Sousa and Kelling (2006) states that the broken windows policing focuses on strict enforcement of law against disorderly behaviour and minor offenses like prostitution, public urination, and aggressive panhandling. This step is vital as it is to prevent more serious crime from happening. Skogan (1990, 1992) failed to find proof that the enforcement of broken windows policing reduced additional disorder or more serious crimes to occur. Weisburd and Eck (2004) also states that New York City uses this type of policing in 1990s and many NYC officials admitted that the crime rate dropped because of broken windows policing but many people also say that there are some other reasons for the reduction of crime rates in New York City.

Conditions on these floating jails were allegedly wretched with disease and death rampant. Despite numerous outcries to reform the system and build new prisons the British government instead continued to search for new places to send her convicts Blank 4 (a comma belongs AFTER which word?). This transportation was a common way of dealing with England’s worst offenders Blank 5 (find the word with the error and type it correctly).

Even though the emergency responders for the world trade center on 9/11 were able to save a lot of lives they still had some flaws in their plan which if avoided could have reduced the number of responders life lost. The biggest flaw that caused a lot of deaths was the lack of inter-department communication and collaboration. The two largest emergency department’s that responded to the tragic event were the police department and the fire department and lack of team work led to certain causalities. For example, according to The New York Times, twenty-one minutes before the building fell, warnings were captured on police radio tapes which was then relayed to police officers and lead to escape of most of them.

Shay’s Rebellion Many farmers in the newly settled areas of central and eastern Massachusetts suffered from high debt as they tried to establish new farms. Unlike some of the other state legislatures, Massachusetts did not pass pro-debtor laws such as forgiving debt or printing more paper money. Instead, they had local sheriffs seize property and farms and place those farmers that could not afford to pay their debts into prison. This led to the first armed rebellion in the post-Revolutionary United States. The protestors believed that they were protecting the “good of the commonwealth” and opposing the “tyrannical government in the Massachusetts state” (Keene 2013).

Both facilities to this day still have negative stigma that haunts them like a ghost, which brings up the question as to whether these buildings did more harm than good when they were up and running? Eastern State Penitentiary opened its door in 1829 and soon became the most famous prison in the world. Up until this point prisons were looked at completely differently, but many people were finding that the designs and concepts they currently had for prisons were not working. The National Historic Landmark on Eastern State says “The main design of the building was a Quaker-inspired system of isolation from other prisons with labor. [Also that] Benjamin Rush had come up with the idea of a true penitentiary, a prison mainly designed to create regret and true penitence in a criminal’s heart.”
