The United States are often called a country of immigration, and indeed it is so. On the one hand, the rapid extension of the territory of the United States, colonization and the high level of development have created a permanent need for more and more human contingent. On the other hand, the socio-economic situation, in particular, agrarian overpopulation, national and religious oppression, famine outbreaks, political persecution in other parts of the world created the conditions to meet such needs and redistribute the labor force around the world with the help of migration. The growth of intercontinental migrations overseas contributed ...

Introduction

Over the past couple of decades, poverty prevention advocates have become aware that it takes more than just emergency services to alleviate poverty. While such sources of aid as rent assistance, food stamps, food bank provisions, utility assistance and the like can help a family subsist from one month to the next, they do not help families escape the poverty cycle and move up to a better standard of living. As Hutson (2004) noted, “social service providers have increasingly recognized that families seeking assistance often face multiple, complex needs and that they require the services of more than one ...

The law evolves and as such it has been the case that he who can define will always win (Philips, 1998). Federally protected rights had not had a remedy in the case that there was a violation of the same, instigated by governments and its employees. It was not until the landmark ruling in the Monroe V.

The neighborhood of Brooklyn is where both my family and I reside. Brooklyn also happens to be the home to most immigrants from Africa, Asia, Middle-East, the Americas, the Caribbean, and all contributing their rich talents and cultures to the borough.

Emigrants from English-speaking nations find it easy to linguistic integrate with the locals as they already have the advantage of knowing the English language. The socio-economic levels within Brooklyn appear to be lower than the surrounding neighborhoods of the greater New ...

The main aim to privatize Indiana’s social-services system was to save taxpayers’ money in the amount of $1billion just over a decade and to improve the service previously delivered by individual caseworkers. The new system was supposed to improve the operations of the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) connected with the implementation of medical insurance, welfare and food stamp programs. As I personally see it, at first the plan was to make the process of faster and less complicated in some way. The new system was supposed to make the gathered electronic data easily accessible by caseworkers ...

Governor Wilson ran full-page ads in the major California newspapers, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, to launch his anti-immigrant based re-election campaign. The ads were in the form of a letter to President Clinton, demanding that he halt illegal immigration to the State of California as well as reimburse the state for the cost of federally mandated health, education, welfare services, and the incarceration of undocumented immigrants.

The United States of America has always been an attraction to the world because of the opportunities it offers. Many people realize their career dreams everyday in the US, but some people choose to reside illegally in the hope to build a better future for them.

Even though the expert view suggests that illegal immigration is bad for the country’s system, the economic perspective states that illegal immigration is actually beneficial for the country and thus such immigrants should be allowed social benefits. This ...

Part 1

Community oriented policing services or COPS developed as a response to public fears in the early 1990s of rampant crime and politicians promises to “put 100,000 officers” on the streets at a minimal cost (Roth & Ryan, 2000). At around the same time new research into policing methods began to question the traditional police approach to fighting crime. According to the research, simply putting out more patrols to respond to crimes after they happen was not enough to substantially decrease crime. Instead, the research argued police needed to attack the underlying issues that facilitate the occurrence of crime (Roth ...

The family represents the smallest most important unit in any society, and the progress and development of any society depends on the state of this unit of society.

Introduction

In order to sufficiently define post-modernity, we need to look at the meaning of modernity since it is the predecessor to post-modernity. Modernism simply refers to a capability of moving forward and making some progress towards a given goal. Most of the theories that led to modernity rested on personal goals whereby each person wanted to maximize his/her interests and minimize the rate of dissatisfaction that they could be exposed to. Modernity can also be used to refer to the post industrial era which had several developments taking place. In order for a person to be fulfilled in modernity, he/she has to ...

Response to Kim’s answer

The level of success for the criminal & social services in responding to domestic violence is quite minimal. However, I agree that there is some notable improvement, and things are not as grim as they used to be in the past. Domestic violence was regarded as family affairs and, therefore, the victims did not receive the support they needed from a legal perspective (Stalans & Finn, 2006). Although it is presently recognized as a crime, the system is not able to fully handle the matter. There are numerous, victims who suffer silently primarily because they are in denial or are afraid making most ...

The problem of human trafficking has been in existence for many years, and it has various impacts on society, victims and the economy (Wheaton et al. 115).

The society in which the victims also belong suffer long-term psychological and emotional effects. Human trafficking also sets back the economy.

Government?

Introduction Homelessness is a problem in Canada with roots long in the past and has become much more dramatic during the 1990s. Although it tied up the Canadian government, pushing for effective measures at a much later period than other countries, such as Australia, the US and the UK, it still has a long way to go before viable solutions are found. The Canadian response to homelessness was intense; however, without ever managing to cope effectively with the increasing poverty, or provide people with affordable housing. Without a permanent cross-country solution, we cannot consider any actual progress is made. Therefore, the Canadian ...

In the US homelessness is viewed in broader terms. According to the ...

Abstract

Homelessness in the world is significant humanity problem, which while many will acknowledge needs to be resolution, they also seemed to be unmoved with making a change. The stigmatization associated with homeless people is spread through the misinterpretations of the reasoning of how the individual arrives at their situation. This is largely a problem for the ever increasing population of homeless youth which has risen in the last several years due to the economic situation and familial factors in which self-determination and perseverance take priority. The problems that many homeless individuals face as well as youth is the lack of healthcare. ...

Introduction

Time has come to treat domestic violence with the seriousness it deserves. The failure by law enforcement officers to react to domestic calls immediately exposes the victim, as well as the community at large, to dangers that may lead to the eventual loss of life. As it has happened in the past, sometimes law enforcement officers do not treat domestic violence as any other crime. The cases of Thurman v. City of Torrington and Castle Rock v. Gonzales point to a failure by the police department to handle domestic violence with the urgency that it needs (Meloy & Miller, 2010). Therefore, ...
