If you have stand-alone anger management issues, you would seek help from a psychologist or counselor at the very least. Addiction issues require the help of trained professionals who have experience dealing with addiction clients. When both problems exist simultaneously, you would seek help from someone, somewhere who treats both issues at the same time. Addiction and anger management treatment are similar in many ways. Both require a significant amount of invested time before progress becomes evident.

As of September 2011, California incarcerated close to 144,000 inmates in its state prisons. This number fell in recent years owing to the pressure from SCOTUS and California policy changes. In 2006, California had a peak incarceration rate of 172,000 inmates (Rogan, 2012). Since 1970, California has seen 750% rise in incarceration levels, especially during the “war on drugs” campaign during the 1990s (Harvard Law Review, 2010, p. 753). With no end in sight to the rapidly growing number of inmates in California’s state prisons, the CDCR was challenged to manage the growing population.

Suicide makes up 1.4% of all deaths worldwide. Although 1.4% is a small percentage, this 1.4% consists of about 800,000 people per year. The suicide rates decreased 1990-2000 from 12.5 suicides per 100,000 to 10.4 per 100,000. Over the past decade, the rate has increased to 12.1 per 100,000. Every day, approximately 105 Americans die by suicide.

Executive Summary In 2014, the US experienced the highest number of measles cases reported since its elimination in 2000. According to the CDC 's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, there were 668 reported cases of measles in the US in 27 states at the end of 2014, and 178 reported cases by June 26, 2015. A spread map showed that most of the cases reported are located in California due to the high number of anti-vaccine parents located there. Google has its headquarters located in California and hired some anti-vaxxers, people known as they are against vaccines.

The U.S. leads all nations in opioid usage. Another 8 million use cocaine in the U.S. this number is 3rd overall across all nations. These statistics have lead me and many others to believe the war on drugs is anything besides a success. Opposing views claim, that the war on drugs has been rather successful.

Maryland is considered to be the state with the highest rate of death due to smog pollution. MIT study reported that 113 out of 10 000 people die prematurely in the city of Baltimore because of emissions from cars, trucks, industrial smokestacks, trains, boats and others. The journalist Katie Andries stated: “Of every 100,000 residents in the city, the study found that 130 were likely to die prematurely each year of causes related to air pollution, more than in New York City, Los Angeles, and the entire Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.” The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s study also shown that emissions in Frederick, Reisterstown, and Montgomery Village are worse than in

As of September 26, 2015, there is a total of 93,821 inmates in prison for drug offenses, which is equivalent to 48.4 percent of the prison population. The use of illegal narcotics has been an issue within the country for decades; however, is incarceration the way to solve this problem? I think not. During the late 1960’s, poverty was a substantial issue within urban cities and secluded rural areas. On the other hand, recreational drug usage promoted by fashionable young, white Americans as a symbol of social upheaval and youthful rebellion coincided with the deprivation within many of these areas.

In 2013, Mexican immigrant returns back to the United State making a total of 29 percent (178,371), while deportation comprised 71 percent (438,421)—an all-time high for deportation. The number of removals has generally increased since 1996 when there were 68,657 removals. At the same time, the number of returns has declined, from 1.57 million in 1996 to 178,371 in 2013 (the lowest since 1968), as the government has prioritized using the more formal removals, which make deportees ineligible to return to the United States for at least five years and subject to criminal penalties if they do re-enter. Presidential candidate Donald Trump 's proposal to deport all 11 million immigrants living in the country illegally, along with their U.S.-born children. During the 1930s and into the 1940s, up to 2 million Mexicans and Mexican-Americans were deported or expelled from cities and towns across the U.S. and shipped to Mexico.

Diabetes is three times more common than 20 years ago. Mortality, even with the increase in incidence and prevalence the mortality rates have remained reasonably unchanged. Diabetes is the 8th leading specific cause of death for both males and females accounting for 1,923 deaths or 2.7% of all deaths in males, and 1,887, or 2.8%of deaths in females. Diabetes is also a contributing cause of death in about 10% of all deaths for both males and females. The trends in death rates of diabetes as the underlying cause increased from 15.8 to 16.5 per 100,000 between 1980 and 2007.

What causes motorcycle accidents in Las Vegas, is it the motorcyclist riding reckless or is it the drivers not paying attention and being on their phones? This is the number one question people ask themselves. According to Motorcycle Accident Statistics, between two and three thousand motorcyclists die each year in the United States. Motorcycle fatalities have been on the rise ever since the late 1990s, reaching a record high of 12 percent—a total of 5,037 motorcycle fatalities—of all vehicle crash-deaths in 2007 in the United States.

The location that I chose to visit was parking lot 10 at Sacramento State. I visited the location on a Friday morning. The mass wasting was found in front of parking lot entrance. The waste from the area was transported to the back of the parking lot. It was evident that mass wasting had occurred because there was mass moved that had then been vegetated to cover the slope.
