Power and stratification within the organisation

Most of the administrative decisions are made by the Home Office through the Directors who is chosen by the home office. The projects are to be done through the direct supervision of both the Home Office and the various stakeholders.
Engagement with the community
My engagement with the community is based on patriotism. As a citizen of the UK, I feel that it is my responsibility to ensure that our youth and the general society are safe from all forms of violence and drug abuse.
An analysis of the impact of the initiative
The impact of the initiative is widespread. This ranges from positive effects to the general community, the state and to the whole world. At the local level the residents of Basildon Community would experience a general reduction in the level of crime and violence that is relate to drug use.

This is despite the various long history of failure to implement various crime reduction projects in the past (Hope and Murphy, 1983).It is therefore crucial to determine the success rate of the project prior to its implementation stage.
Concluding remarks
The project is to be carried out with the main aim of reducing drug related crime in the society by making use of both local resources and otherwise. The hegemonic elements in the project can however result in its rejection by a portion of the Basildon Community since it imposes some ideas that some youths may not like.
