Article Summary: Article Analysis

The purpose of this essay is to analyze a research peer-reviewed article in criminal justice. In this case, I chose to analyze the research conducted by Hurst, McDermott, and Thomas (2005) titled, “The attitudes of girls toward the police: differences by race.” Some of the things I will look to analyze are: to identifying the purpose of the article, the problem, the design of the study, the operational design of the study, look to identify if any inductive and or deductive logic were used in the article, look to identify if the research is quantitative or qualitative in nature, the methodology, the population targeted, the sampling methods

Management in healthcare institutions obtains presentations that pertain to workers’ injuries and illness costs. The figures acquire adequate support from the management provided that the data cites credible and the right references. However, researchers lack adequate hard data and research backing to defend direct and indirect cost ratios that they frequently utilize in relation to the safety-related literature.

In this paper I will analyze two articles, one is quantitative and the other is qualitative. I will describe the quantitative methods used including the research question addressed, the hypothesis, and variables. I will identify the population and sample. I will discuss the reliability and validity of the instruments used. I will then discuss the design of the article and how the findings were analyzed. For the qualitative article, I will identify the design of the article, the methods used and the strategies used for analyzing the data. Lastly, I will look at the implications for practice in the qualitative article, discuss other journals that might be interested in publishing the article and discuss how this article might

For this week’s discussion board, I chose three articles all written by Martin, J. Sella who was an abolitionist.

Urban sprawl was a major problem and had many negative effects. "Suburban sprawl, “called urban sprawl was a result of overpopulation. Sprawl occurred when cities spread outward. Forests and farmland were being destroyed to create new housing subdivisions, shopping centers, offices, parking areas, civic institutions and roadways. State governments built highways and roads to serve all the new commuters moving in and out of the city. Developers chose to build on less expensive land farther away from the urban core. Land prices were lower and housing in these developments was more affordable. Some people chose a longer commute in exchange for more comfortable, low-priced housing. The sprawl was a chronological process that devastated the land and life of the American people. This problem described here continues to be a problem. And many people are unaware that urban sprawl continues to be a problem. Friendly neighborhoods, traditional pedestrian have fallen victim to this problem. Environmental activists claimed that urban sprawl, was a substantial environmental threat. But activists concerned about sprawl should concentrate on existing government policies that encourage suburban development and prevent greater redevelopment of urban areas.

A junior in Brownsboro High School, Ashley Dixon was asked an important question, “What improvement would you like to see in Brownsboro/Chandler.” In receiving this question, Dixon pondered for a while and gave her response : “ I would like to see more places to eat, more areas of entertainment, and new schools hopefully soon.” However, she added, “the only issue is that they would have to raise the taxes, and find some investors, but overall, it would make the lifestyle here more entertaining. We would also expand the area and hopefully attract more people into town.” Altogether, Dixon just wants the best for her hometown, her family and her peers.

The fist economic concept presented in the article is cost-benefit analysis in regards to adding more density. The newly proposed land use element policy wants to address the demand for housing, employment, and lifestyle choices. They would like to encourage larger open space which could accommodate mixed -use development. This would help reduce the number of residents that commute out of Long Beach for work. The plan would also encourage more section 8 housing projects that can accommodate low income individuals. Majority of residents living in Long Beach believe that this proposal would incur a huge cost on the city. Long Beach is a parking impacted city with poor public transit system. Adding more density would not help the parking crisis that Long Beach faces; it can potentially make it worse. Residents also fear that adding more density in the city could lead to an increase in crime.

Who wouldn’t want to see reduced crime, new investment in buildings and infrastructure, and increased economic activity in their neighborhoods? Unfortunately, the benefits of these

I believe most importantly the city tries to save money and so a lot of things have to be cut and sacrificed. The majority of individuals that I questioned about residing here in East Cleveland where only satisfied with living here because this is where they have been living for many years. But if given the chance to move into a zip code that had more resources, then they would. My outlook on the city before and after this project honestly did not change. This city is in need of a lot of resources and community action. I believe if they would join The City of Cleveland, then they would have more resources to

For instance, because the author has no idea why new residents actually move to Springfield, these residents could actually be moving to Springfield in spite of its "rural setting and small town atmosphere", perhaps due to cheaper rents or better public amenities as discussed earlier. If this is the case, then removing the establishments enumerated by the author could actually have the opposite effect the author intended: less new residents would move to

Savitch outlines ways that sprawl can be harmful to the health and wellbeing of individuals living in these areas. The United States is vast and versatile, allowing for its inhabitants to move around and live in different climates or social environments. But, this freedom leads to the abandonment of neighborhoods and cities. Government resources such as building highways are put into developing cities but “Americans are incline to abandon industrial neighborhoods, sometimes leaving whole cities in favor of sprawl residential tracts, edge cities, and strip-zoned highways” (Savitch 2013:591). Those who can afford to move into suburbs leaves those of a lower socioeconomic status with less resources. “When people and jobs evaporate, so too does

In regards to the city of Dallas, we have a population demographic projection of “4,722,317” people as of 2015, and that has risen to “4,830,544” as of 2016 (Texas Department of Health Services, 2014). So, at times the city of Dallas can be a little crowded. Nevertheless, the city of Dallas much like any metropolitan area has a major concern revolving around urban sprawling, as the nearest grocery store (like Walmart) is about 15 (+) mins away from my current residence. In addition, community centers for kids and adults are drastically lacking here, but the concerns around road development and expanding the housing community are pressing forward with no apprehension. These issues that I have listed opens my community to problems like gangs, drinking and driving, assault.

“The rapid spread of that city into nearby farmland has resulted in traffic congestion, overtaxed water supplies, pollution, and housing shortages. Many older buildings have been taken down to make room for roads and newer structures. The outskirts of the city have become overrun with quickly

In today’s society, it may seem that gentrification can eliminate poverty and increase neighborhood opportunities. Low-income residents and property owners will be the first to be altered by gentrification. In an email to the editor at the Atlantic, Freeman, the director of the Urban Planning program at Columbia states “ Gentrification brings new amenities and services that benefit not only the newcomers but long term residents too. Full service

An emerging issue is that of urban sprawl. While some aspects of urban sprawl has been seen since ancient times, this phenomenon has started gaining the most momentum in the past century, aided by the advancement of technology, especially with the rise of mass produced automobiles, houses and highway systems. Many people unknowingly contribute to this environmental problem, as is the nature of it. Urban sprawl deals with the growth of the suburbs, the area between the urban and rural areas of a city. Most of America’s largest cities and states, in terms of population, are prime examples of urban sprawl. Opponents of urban sprawl usually cite the government as a major cause of sprawl. The government may be a major catalyst of
