Broken windows by James Q Wilson and George L Kelling.
Assignment 1 Reading 7- Broken windows by James Q Wilson and George L Kelling. A) Wilson and Kelling discuss in the article the role of police in relation to crime. In order to improve the community's quality of life, "safe and clean neighborhood program's" were introduced. Money was provided to help cities assign police officers to walking beats, with the assumption that it would have an impact on crime rates. What foot patrollers did was to raise, the level of public order in these neighborhoods. Some police administrators argued that an officer in a squad car could observe as much as an officer on foot. Our experience is that you approach a person on foot more easily and talk to him more readily, then you do a person in a car. But the reality of police citizen encounters is powerfully altered by the automobile. An evaluation of the foot-patrol project was published five years later and concluded that foot patrol had not reduced crime rates. However Wilson and Kelling suggested that the neighborhood might be safer even though crime rates increased. They explained this by stating that residents of the foot patrolled neighborhood felt more secure and took fewer steps to protect themselves from crime. Judging from there behavior and remarks to interviewers, decided it was the appropriate level for public order, and felt reassured when the police help them maintain that

'The core function of the police should be to maintain order.' Discuss with particular reference to Wilson and Kelling's 'broken windows' thesis. This essay will provide an explanation of the broken windows thesis and link this to the role of the police in maintaining order. It will highlight that the thesis only recognises street crime as a source of criminal activity and how disorder and order are defined in this context. The issue of how maintaining order produces tension with regard to human rights will be examined and in particular who is often labelled as disorderly and therefore criminal. The issue of reducing crime will also be investigated and the reason why reducing crime is viewed as so important in the first place. Finally the positive effects of the thesis will be examined and it will look at the alternatives to the police maintaining order. When Robert Peel founded the metropolitan police in the early 19th century, the primary function was crime prevention and maintaining order through street patrols. This was to protect the public from the 'menace of mob disorder' (Reith 1938) as Robert Peel did not want to leave the streets 'in the nightly possession of drunken women and vagabonds'. Since then maintaining order, to a greater or lesser degree has been one of the functions of the police (Emsley 2002), however with the introduction of motor vehicles this is
Network operating report - Windows XP Vs Windows NT Server
NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM CCM 4071 Dr. GLENFORD MAPP SEMINAR REPORT WINDOWS XP Vs WINDOWS NT SERVER ABSTRACT The report deals with the differences between operating systems developed for servers and home based clients. It deals with the various features in Windows XP and Windows NT Server 4.0. Windows XP is taken as an example for home based client's operating system and Windows NT Server 4.0 is taken as an example for a server operating system. The report tries to bring out the additional features included in an operating system developed for servers. The similarities in an operating system developed for home based clients and servers are also highlighted. The extra features of Windows NT Server for security and multiple client support are given prime importance. FEATURES OF WINDOWS XP . Windows XP Windows XP is a multipurpose operating system with integrated support for client/server and peer-to-peer networks. It incorporates technologies that reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) and provides for scalability from a small network to a large enterprise network. Total cost of ownership is the total amount of money and time associated with purchasing computer hardware and software, and deploying, configuring, and maintaining the hardware and software. TCO includes hardware and software updates, training, maintenance and administration, and technical support.
Windows vs. Linux
Windows vs. Linux By Rhys Williams The battle of operating systems has always been a personal choice for the user, whether it be Mac, UNIX, Windows or even Novell most computer users will have a preference. Being the default operating system for the majority of computer users, Microsoft Windows has the favourable trait of familiarity, however the Linux operating system from UNIX has always been highly regarded and this essay seeks to evaluate both systems against each other in an attempt to find the better. The way in which this will be done is against some of Shneiderman's "Eight Golden Rules of Interface Design", as this is a publically recognised design basis. The first of the design principles that the operating systems will be tested against is consistency. While Windows has come a long way from its DOS days, the consistencies of the commands throughout the system are still very good. The ability for the prompts and help screens provides similar terminology and is generally quite helpful. Linux also has quite a consistent basis for the system it is running, however the simpler design of Windows may be more appealing to a beginner user, while intermediate and experts may enjoy the more technical terminology. The ability for an operating system to maximise shortcut abilities is the second of the criterions to be analysed; Windows does well in this category as its
Research on Windows Registry for implementation of Windows Registry Optimizer
Chapter 1: Introduction to Registry Optimizers In the ICT world, registry optimizers have always been known as the 'savior' for maintaining our windows registry. For novice users, obtaining a registry optimizer is considered as a shortcut for most of them while the intermediate users consider registry optimizers as a faster solution to solve their registry problems. Registry optimizer is a software utility that is used to clean and fix your registry by deleting unused registry keys in the windows registry. It scans the registry for missing and invalid entries and fixes it. The registry optimizer will also include a function to compact the registry to make it more organized. A too fragmented system will always cause problems that will slow down the system. The system will also have functions to optimize the registry by removing fragmentation, deleting unused entries, and compact the Registry. Lastly, this project hopes to benefit the average users of Windows operating system who is looking for a fast solution in fixing registry problems. This would cut down their turnover time rather than to look for the errors manually in the Registry Editor in Windows. .0 Areas of research Before beginning with this project, the author has decided on a few methods on researching the necessary information before developing the registry system. This information is critical towards the
Unix vs Windows
Linux vs. Windows Alicia C. Robinson John Alexander University of Phoenix September 12, 2007 The debate on Windows vs. Linux is truly at forefront with corporations today. Regardless how one may come to this juncture one is usually a UNIX supporter or a customer of Microsoft's operating system and products who are grateful for products of Microsoft. In the following paragraphs their will be comparisons of the advantages and disadvantages of these different systems. There will be a brief description on the cost of these products, what kind of market-share these two systems hold, the availability of application software, and the different types of Hardware needed. There will also be a brief description of functionality, performance, File System Comparisons, and the Security that comes with these products. When one start breaking down different aspects of Linux and Windows one can see how each product is capable of fulfilling the requirement. One system maybe bests for one situation the other for another situation. It is important for a business to understand the needs that it will be fulfilling with each of these operating systems. Today hardware prices have significantly dropped allowing the purchase of an average desktop to be $300 estimate and server to be $1199. The Linux operating system requires very little hardware resource for its desktop and server as

Configuring a Windows system
Assignment 6 - Unit 3 Configuring Computers This is a step-by-step guide to configuring a Windows computer system. Connecting the Computer Once the computer is put in the correct place, it can be connected together. First of all, connect the monitor to the PC. The monitor cable comes from the monitor and has a male plug on the end shaped like a trapezoid with two screws on either side. This is plugged into a trapezoid shaped port on the rear of the PC denoted by a small graphic of a screen. The screws are then turned to achieve a tight fit. Next to be plugged in is the keyboard. The keyboard cable has a pink semi-circle shaped male plug, which plugs into the pink port at the back of the computer, which has a small keyboard graphic next to it. The same goes for the mouse, except this has a green plug and port. The printer cable also has a male trapezoid shaped plug with screws on either side, but it is a lot longer than that of the monitor. It is similarly pushed into the corresponding trapezoid port with the printer graphic. The power lead from the mains comes in the shape of a hexagon is female, and plugs into the power socket in the back of the machine in which tree large pins are visible. The power for the monitor come in the form of a similarly shaped male hexagonal socket, which plugs into the female power socket on the back of the machine. N.B. References to male
Larkin - Churchgoing and High Windows
PHILIP LARKIN (1922-1985) BIOGRAPHY Philip Larkin was born in Coventry, England, in 1922. He was (and still is) one of the most well-known and widely read poets in England, yet his writing and personal politics are also quite controversial. He was a poet, novelist, and critic, a leading figure of 'The Movement,' term coined to describe a group of British poets that coalesced during the 1950s. 'The Movement' poets addressed everyday British life in a plain, straightforward language and often in traditional forms. He was educated at King Henry VIII School where he wrote for the school magazine. At the age of 18 he entered St. John's College Oxford, where he studied English and met Kingsley Amis. After graduating he became a librarian. Larkin wrote nearly continuously throughout his adult life, but he also made his living as a librarian for several university libraries. As a poet Larkin made his debut with the collection THE NORTH SHIP in 1945, written using short lines and carefully worked-out rhyme schemes. It was published at his own expense. The sad songs showed the influence of Yeats. It was followed by two novels, JILL (1946) and A GIRL IN WINTER (1947). Among Larkin's major works are THE LESS DECEIVED (1955) and THE WHITSUN WEDDINGS (1964), in which the title-poem describing the poet's journey by train from Hull to London is his best-known works. Larkin used
Turning Mirrors into Windows.
Turning Mirrors into Windows Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happened to him." Aldous Huxley Using motivational theories from Maslow, Herzberg and Vroom, I will try to give an insight to how I learn as a student. The focus is on my understanding on my learning and motivation employing the theories from the above theorists. I assessed my own motivation with regard to being a student of the HRM MA programme at TVU. A diary served this purpose well. I kept a diary to reflect my experiences in the MAP module in particular, Oct this year. The analysis of the open diaries takes an interpretative orientation. In this sense, there was no objective measure of how motivating my study was, as I would interpret a lesson or experience from my own perspective. Motivation has been described as a feeling that comes from within, something that drives us forward towards a goal-oriented behaviour. Every person in England is required to attend some schooling up until at least 17 years of age and thereafter it is the responsibility of the person to seek further education if he/she wants to. It seems to me that, since university is not required, Motivation is one of the biggest factors or reasons that people do decide to go. I entered University to improve my chances of furthering my career in the HR sector. At the start of the MA course, I found
