The writer discusses leadership roles and the importance of an effective communication structure.

From the Paper
"In many communities where crime rates are high and the police have been ineffective, concerned citizens have formed neighborhood watch groups in order to identify and report criminal activity. Experience has shown that citizen efforts to patrol their neighborhoods serves as an effective deterrent, for criminals seek out more vulnerable neighborhoods once they see that residents have formed neighborhood watch groups and are taking proactive measures to protect their streets and homes from crime."

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of synthesized theories to the study of criminality and how they work to help prevent crime and to help understand the criminal mind. It looks at how the need to understand criminals has been in the minds and hearts of criminologist and police officers for countless years and how extending this understanding to the minds of others will help neighborhood watch programs tremendously.
From the Paper
"Synthesized theories have been around in the field of criminology for quite some time. This is largely because they work well in helping criminologists discover some of the hidden reasons and causes behind crime. In order have a full understanding of synthesized theories, it is important to explain two things: the concept behind synthesized theories, and their importance to the study of criminology. Knowing these two things will help individuals determine characteristics that might make people into criminals."

From the Paper
"In 1973, the PBS series, An American Family, was broadcasted. Widely considered to be the first modern reality show, it dealt with the issue of divorce in today's nuclear family. A year later, the UK followed suit with a counterpart program, The Family, which portrayed a working class family in Reading; and in 1992, Australia broadcasted Sylvania Waters, which depicted a nouveau-riche family living in Sydney. All three programs were considered to be controversial (Wikipedia, Online Article, 2007), but all were also recognized as having that certain something that appealed, and that entertained, the general public. Over the next decade a wide variety of reality shows were broadcasted, with their counterpart productions being produced throughout the world, as world-wide television companies rushed to join a financially lucrative band-wagon.

From the Paper
"Fear of crime in the cities and suburbs has led to increased attention to residential security, and many communities have made security a major element in their structure. Individual residents pay attention to security with alarms, patrols, bars on windows, and other security devices, and some communities have become gated communities in order to keep crime out as much as possible. In Southern California, there are a number of gated and protected communities, some of long standing (the Malibu colony), some patrolled but not really closed (such as Bel Air), and some newer and more controversial (such as the communities in the Hollywood Hills that have tried to use gates to keep people out, to the consternation of neighbors only a few yards away). Many of these efforts have been opposed as showing elitist sensibilities and in some case racist sensibilities. Still, security concerns increase..."

From the Paper
"Crime prevention is a community responsibility. Across the United States, citizens are taking back their neighborhoods by forming partnerships with local law enforcement agencies. Mobilized communities have proven resistant to the ravages of drug dealing and violent crime that plague complacent communities.
One of the most successful programs for community empowerment has been Neighborhood Watch. The nationwide promotion of Neighborhood Watch evolved from a two-year study conducted during the mid-1980s entitled the Block Booster Project: "The study found that active block associations substantially reduced fear of crime, encouraged crime reporting, stimulated members' involvement in crime prevention, inhibited drug trafficking, and spurred beautification activities"

Abstract
This paper explains that European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) was developed to combat some of the European security issues that exist in Europe. Authorities believe that the ENP would enhance the European Union's ability to secure the region against terrorism and would help promote the economy and overall quality of life of the region. The author points out that originally the ENP applied to its direct neighbors: Algeria, Belarus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine. Later, however, it was extended to include the countries of the Southern Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) with whom the present candidate countries, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey, share either a maritime or land border. The paper concludes that by eradicating terrorists or criminal activities and by strengthening the political and justice systems in the country, the ENP will be helpful to Georgia. The paper includes many quotations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to the commission's report these agreements permit the expansion of cooperation and economic amalgamation across a variety of domains. The effects of these agreements have not been realized at the current time. In any case, the ENP provides a foundation for improved cooperation in many distinct domains so that the EU and its partners can realize the full benefit of the structures that are in place (European Neighborhood Policy). To this end, the Action Plans will establish key priorities to be tackled in the years to come."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the rationale for communities wanting baseball teams and their facilities in their neighborhood, followed by an analysis of some typical examples from recent years. A discussion of current and future trends in the impact of baseball teams and their facilities on neighborhood economies is then followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"There are a number of other indications of the continuing popularity of sports and those who play them as well. "Since the beginning of the twentieth century," Guthrie and Jozsa report, "sports have assumed a growing role in American culture" (3). Millions of Americans watch and listen to daily broadcasts of baseball games and their results, as well as the minutiae involved in the sport. Millions of other fans enjoy their weekly games at ballparks located in cities, towns, and suburbs across North America (Guthrie & Jozsa 1999). Other examples include America's fascination with sports figures and their peccadilloes that continue to dominate American headlines, and a more recent trend has avid fans discussing a vast array of sports topics on talk radio and prime-time television programs. "Even minute changes in the operation and ownership of teams receive top billing in the press."

Our Neighborhood Project, 2006.
This paper describes a neighborhood project to rejuvenate the outside of a widow's home.

Abstract
This paper explains that most of the neighbors got involved in this neighborhood project not so much from the kindness of their heart but because they were concerned about the way the neighborhood looked. The author points out that, if any one individual had to buy all the supplies and labor, it would have been a substantial cost; however, because no one individual had to bear the burden, no one was put upon financially, and Mrs. Maryble did not feel obligated to any one particular person. The paper concludes that Mrs. Maryble resisted at first, saying she did not want anyone to go to such a fuss over her; however, she was so genuinely grateful that it made everyone who was involved feel proud and joyful that they took part in such an act of kindness.
From the Paper
"The woman who lives there, Mrs. Maryble is widowed and probably in her early seventies. She lives on her pension and makes extra money here and there by doing odd jobs such as sewing, babysitting, or pet-sitting. From what the older neighbors say, when her husband was alive he was the gardener, and kept everything ship-shape, but since his death, she had not been able to afford to hire anyone to do the heavy work, nor could she afford to buy the materials for the repairs made in the first place."

Abstract
This paper is an examination of the main character, Janie, from "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Nora Neale Hurston that illustrates the struggle of African-American women to achieve their own identity and expression symbolically through the act of self-naming.
From the Paper
"Killens and Ward describe Zora Neale Hurston as one of the most important literary figures of the Harlem Renaissance. King maintains that Hurston represented a pioneer in the attempt to define the totality of Afro-American women in literature and anthropological studies. The aspect of naming is critical to Hurston's literary output - a symbol of the struggle of African-Americans to affirm an individual identity that is free, autonomous, independent and strong. African-American women's oppression at the hands of dominant white society and patriarchal..."

Monitoring the Programs Children Watch on Television, 2008.
A look at the effects that watching violence on television can have on children.

Abstract
This paper discusses how children are affected by watching violence on television and suggests that a study be carried out to define whether the responsibility rests with the media, Federal Communication Commission (FCC), or the parents. The paper includes results from various research studies as well as different arguments put forward claiming the educational value of television.
From the Paper
"Research points the fact that observing violence on television can be related to them becoming aggressive or violent as a child and/or as an adult. The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry has made a statement that they firmly believe that children who watch violence can become violent (Arvidson 494). Some people though believe that the violence children see on television is not enough to make children realize that they are watching fantasy and not reality. The violence they see in these shows do not show the heart break of the families nor does it show the fact that people who are murdered are dead. Mike Oppenheim argues that the violence on television is not enough because it is more fantasy than the horrors that happen in real life and it fails to teach children that violence is wrong (14). While this may be true in many ways, the fact is that children watching the violence often cannot determine the difference from fantasy and reality. "Characters get shot with double-barreled shotguns and they get back up. It sets in a humorous context with a laugh track, and communicates to preschoolers that violence is funny and it's OK to do" (Hurst 8). Children are shown violence in television shows, movies and even cartoons. The fact is that almost ten percent of violence can be related to television violence (Hurst 8). Whether it is television shows, cartoons, movies, or video games, children are influenced by what they see. The question is whether the media, FCC, or parents that should be blamed."

Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God", 2000.
A literary analysis of the search for status in Hurston's novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God".

Abstract
This essay explores the connection between status and happiness. Using Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" as a model, this essay reveals that the search for status often leads to unhappiness and dissatisfaction.
From the Paper
"A common element in many cultural novels is the search for social status. Many of the characters in Zora Neale Hurston?s novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God", attempt in various ways to achieve personal satisfaction by improving their social status. Through the eyes of the narrator, the reader learns that although many of the characters are either searching for or seem to have found their place in society, it does not always bring them happiness. For Janie, the main character, the search is a bit different. What she is seeking is simply herself. Three other characters, all of whom want to limit Janie?s freedom, display different ways in which people understand status. Nanny, Joe Starks, and Mrs. Turner all seem to find what they feel is an improved rank in society. Although these three characters achieve status, their attitudes about status ironically make them and those close to them unhappy."
