¶ … gang crime in Boston. I would ask what impact spiritual community involvement has on this crime rate and how can spirituality be used to lower violence.
Ron
Ron, I tend to agree with much of what you have written in response to the Boston crime case study. I agree that the spiritual factors and relationship to God are important factors in the human treatment of one another. Criminology seems reluctant to address the impact of religious and spiritual involvement within the community due to the ability to free one's mind. By incorporating stress theory, you seem to link your arguments in a cohesive manner that convinces me that you have compiled a compelling argument.

Valerie, your points about recidivism bring up great ideas in approaching this problem from a different angle. It seems that the criminal justice system is over eager in punishing people, but an appropriate system seems unavailable. By addressing the rehabilitation efforts of any community, a more holistic approach is adopted. I agree with your idea that reintegration into society is a community problem that needs to be addressed in new and different ways.

Both approaches need to be included to make a reasonable argument.
John
John, your comments on evidence-based research is clear and concise and explains the concept simply. I mostly agree with your comments and feel that quantitative methods are just as important as quantitative. The issues of validity may help to further explain how research fails and where false premises may contribute to confusion and wrong answers.

By highlighting the problems with the relationship between policy makers and researchers, you bring up a great point about the problems with the learning system in our country. You explain well how evidence-based research is valuable, but only when that learning is properly applied and used with reason and well intentions.
The Prohibition made these mobsters however more daring and they begun to become involved in criminal operations that affected the American communities as well. Aside the Prohibition, it has to be stated that at that time, the United States was also facing severe economic problems. This was as such the moment organized crime was born. There were numerous nations conducting illicit operations during Prohibition, including the Irish, the Jews,
Government Since gang-related crimes fall within the jurisdiction of state, this research will give an insight on the need to find solutions that increasingly include all levels of government. Congress needs to pass legislation that will change immigration enforcement laws and make more aliens deportable.

Several years later, people with disabilities were added to this list. Data collection was placed under the auger of the FBI, which complied by publishing an annual report through its Uniform
It is methodological individualism which makes up the group, creating problems for the Rational Theories which tout individualism as the driving force in motivation. Some say that the actions of individuals results in an unintended consequence when done in a group (Scott, p. 30). If you look long enough for the secret of society you will find it in plain sight: the secret of society is that it was made by
