From the Paper
"This essay focuses on issues arising in a police district where a more proactive approach to community policing was undertaken. It examines three questions regarding the success of such efforts. It identifies barriers to change in police organizations which Stojkovic Kalinich and Klofas characterize as often highly resistant to change and innovation.
"The first question focuses on the identification of the primary obstacles that police reformers face when trying to implement community policing. As the broken windows case ..."

Abstract
The paper describes the subject of this case study, Michael, who comes from a broken home and has been traumatized by repeatedly witnessing unsettling arguments between his parents from birth through seven-years-old, when his father left the home. The paper shows how inherent in this case are issues of trauma, repeated neglect, and abandonment issues. Applicable theory is reviewed and examined to better understand this 11 year-old child.

Abstract
The paper questions how safe one can feel in a neighborhood where street lamps are broken, graffiti is smeared on buildings and there are abandoned vehicles. The paper wonders that if neighbors do not call the police or involve their city or town officials to remove these items, would this be considered a safe neighborhood? Or, are the neighbors scared to put forth effort in creating a safer neighborhood?

From the Paper
"How safe do you feel in a neighborhood where individuals throw trash in the trash, street lamps broken, graffiti smeared on buildings and abandoned vehicles? If neighbors do not call the police or involve their city or town officials to remove these items, would this be considered a safe neighborhood? Or, are the neighbors scared to put forth effort in creating a safer neighborhood? If neighbors do not report the problems or police patrolling the area do not communicate with neighbors about the problems, how could the problems be resolved? If it were not resolved, the problems would escalate into bigger problems as a dumping ground for felonious crimes."

The paper discusses the findings of the study and the thesis of the authors. The paper explores the "order maintenance" function of the foot patrols and the findings of the results of disorder and crime. Finally, the paper raises the potential problems that may arise from this method of policing.

Abstract
This analysis of the effectiveness of the case method provides five reasons why the case study method is useful. The paper explains that case studies provide a qualitative viewpoint and a way to digest complex ideas and they offer a vehicle to make abstract complex real. The paper asserts that case studies are useful as a team building tool and they are also used for evaluating policies, programs, and methods. The paper notes that as with any analytical methodology, case studies are only useful if they are well prepared.

From the Paper
"The Case Method is a type of analytical method used as a teaching tool and as a way to evaluate general topics. The approach involves reviewing and analyzing one situation. Lessons derived from that one situation are then applied to a larger context. In theory, many useful general lessons may be learned about the topic at hand. In practice, case studies sometimes fall short of their intended objectives. The United States General Accounting Office (1990) offers a complex definition of a case study: "A case study is a method for learning about a complex instance, based on a comprehensive understanding of that instance obtained by extensive...""

Abstract
This paper is written in response to the important decisions which were handed down by the Supreme Court in Brewer v. Williams, regarding the disappearance of ten year old Pamela Powers in Des Moines, Iowa. It presents an overview of the case, including the question which the Court was prompted to answer, the facts of the case and the rational the Court used in deciding the way in which it did. The paper looks at prior cases involving the right to counsel, as well as cases following the Brewer decision, and an argument as to why this case is of a significant benefit to American Law.

From the Paper
"In order to understand how the Court reached its ruling, it's important to understand some of the significant cases prior to Williams. In Massiah v. United States 377 U.S. 201 (1964) the Supreme Court ruled that once a suspect has been indicted and retains a lawyer, the police cannot (through any means) try to illicit incriminating statements from the suspect, in order to use at trial; thus, it was a direct violation of Massiah's Right to Counsel. In Miranda v. Arizona 384 U.S. 436 (1966) the Court held that if there is a determination that a suspect is deprived of movement in a significant way, and is also being interrogated, he must be informed of his rights prior to questioning."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Wilma Beard cites the principle developed by Colorado Governor, Richard Lamm, agreeing that "keeping terminally ill patients alive by artificial means, at enormous expense to the public, is wicked." If she had known what was to come, Mrs. Beard says she would have signed a 'living will' under Texas Natural Death Act of 1977 with her husband. She feels as if Elmer is trapped in a hopeless, vegetative state from which he cannot escape, arguing that keeping him breathing on a machine is nothing less than torture. Concordantly, as his wife of 50 years, Mrs. Beard feels she is also trapped in a helpless state, bringing her much misery and pain."

Abstract
This is a paper examines a health assessment of an elderly individual, including the choice of assessment tools, and the outcome and case presentation. Here, a 78 year old male with type two diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and high cholesterol presented for a wound that did not heal properly. The assessment and decision for case management and the presentation on case management was based on the Neumann Systems Model which is a holistically based model calling for an interdisciplinary team.

From the Paper
"Case Management and the Elderly: Case management is rapidly becoming a requirement for the growing population of elderly individuals who experience a chronic or debilitating health issue. This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of a 78 year old male diabetic patient who presented to a community clinic setting for problems related to a wound that was not healing properly and discusses the various assessments used and the role of case management. The case presentation will incorporate the comprehensive nature of health assessment requirements for the elderly consistent with the holistic nature of the Neumann Systems Model. Based on the case presentation, the need for a case manager and the development of a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals in the community health setting are required. Plans for follow-up and continuity of care are provided as are schedules and type of monitoring and future evaluations."
