Abstract
This paper gives an in-depth picture of the new approach to community policing and the overall police-community relationship. It emphasizes how police work has changed and become more community focused, emphasizing shared goals as opposed to a power struggle between law enforcement and the citizens in their jurisdiction. The paper further describes how policing is meant to keep a community safe and free of crime rather than creating a military-like presence. Additionally, the paper views a trusted police force as more likely to be given information about crime and other threats in the community. Various scholars and their viewpoints on effective community policing are cited. The paper concludes that the aim of community policing is to care for the needs of the individual community and to ensure the well being of its citizens while maintaining a healthy environment that is free of crime.

From the Paper
"A new understanding that incorporates concepts of community well being, thriving, as well as societal and community cohesiveness have taken hold as not only a shared and mutual vision of both the community and the police but as a way of measuring effective policing. The harvesting of information to clearly define the factors that shape a particular community has become paramount in tandem with the development of the best means to effectively use that information in order to best assist the members of that community. Gone are the days of one size fits all policing. The new nature of policing is tailored to fit the specific and non-specific as well as the static and non-static needs of a community in a fluid and ever-changing formulation that ebbs and flows with the needs of that community."

Abstract
When those within a community believe that they are incapable of trusting the police tensions develop that are related to both "anger and fear" ("Protecting", n.d.). Additionally, police officers may begin to assume that their efforts on the job are not appreciated, causing a two-way flow of tension between the police department and the citizens of the community ("Protecting", n.d.). It is for this reason that police community relations are essential in creating an environment in which police and community members work together to reduce crime and develop a stable atmosphere in which the community can thrive. It is the belief that when police community relations are positive the community is capable of overcoming unexpected and unwanted isolated incidents by random individuals involved with the community or police force and continue to support one another throughout the ordeal.

Abstract
The paper posits that in order to understand the services of community health agencies, what exactly is community health nursing must be explored. The paper explains that community nurses integrate involvement with clinical understanding to promote health and wellness in entire populations with a community. The writer selects four community health agencies in the Pittsburg, PA area to explain how such agencies can be used to increase awareness of the services they provide to the community. The paper explains that the four agencies are a yoga class for people with terminal cancer, hospice, a community social center for the elderly and a collective living environment for the elderly.

Abstract
In this essay, the writer analyzes the statement that the community complexity should be fostered. The writer notes that the community is part of that world and is becoming more tied to the external world all the time through links with other communities, including new communities that did not exist only a few years ago, notably the online community that people access through their computers. The writer points out that the time is long past when a community can exist largely on its own, and even the most rural communities are tied to the outside world more firmly than was true in the past.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the role of community health nursing evolved through a natural need in the social and public health sciences. The paper relates that a community health nurse has as their professional foundation a wide knowledge base that reflects superb judgment, a strong independent personality and an unselfish flexibility in schedule. The paper notes that what makes community health nursing different from clinical nursing is the interest in a patient beyond the immediacy; the community health nurse is constantly aware of the needs of the community.

Abstract
This essay discusses different approaches in policing, specifically community policing and problem-oriented policing. The article first describes aspects of community policing, which is a philosophy and management approach that promotes community, government and police partnerships and proactive problem solving to address the causes of crime, fear of crime and other community issues. The article then describes problem-oriented policing, in which police are less involved with the community but use research and analytical skills to fight criminal activity. The essay finds that both methods are effective, but emphasize solutions in different areas.

From the Paper
"When assessing the need for community policing, key elements should be included: entire departments' need to be involved, officers should have permanent assignments, training is needed for new recruits and seasoned officer, and emphasis should be placed on crime and the community the police serve. The two important elements for community policing are partnerships between the police and the community they serve; and problem solving, which focuses on the underlying causes of the community, which also includes crime."

Abstract
This paper argues that the Salem witchcraft hysteria centered upon the needs of the males to both assert and maintain their dominance within every element of their community. The paper discusses how, during that period, all misfortunes were blamed on witches and this allowed for the immediate suspicion of anyone and anything that fell outside of the norm. The paper then shows how the witch-trials, therefore, allowed for people opposed to the status quo to be branded as witches based entirely upon their opposition. The paper explains that since women, dissidents and social outcasts could now be painted as witches, there could be an assertion of absolute cultural, religious financial and political power within the New England elite.

From the Paper
"The entirety of the Salem witchcraft hysteria centered upon the needs of the males to both assert and maintain their dominance within every element of their community. For the Puritans, evil and the evidence of evil was as real and as visible as the evidence of God. While the concept of devils, demons, demonic possession, and witches have long since gone out of our religious discourse, at one time in the New World, they were part of the daily lives of the Puritan communities. Using these beliefs to their benefit, the male community leaders of Salem and other Puritan settlements in Massachusetts asserted their control over the local economy, the social order, the behavior of the people, and reinforced their superior positions through the manipulation of their religious faith."

Abstract
This paper examines the paradox of William Blake being one of the least orthodox and the most religious of all the English poets. It looks at how he wrote in opposition to the idea of religious hierarchy and orthodoxy. It evaluates how Blake attempted to create a kind of new tradition of poetic excellence, extending from himself and beyond with "Milton" and how individual understanding and contact with God, as opposed to physical connections to a hierarchy or a church community was the source of Blake's theology. It analyzes how this theme forms the crux of "Milton," along with incidents from Blake's own life.

From the Paper
"Blake locates the specificity of his vision not in the tales of the people alone, like Milton's poem on the Fall of Man, but firmly on the soil of present-day England. The visionary aspect of Milton becomes parallel with that of the prophetic vision that Blake attempts to create in his own work. Blake thus uses Milton to justify his own poetic project by creating a tradition of poets writing about Satan. He calls upon the figure of Milton as a figure of inspiration. However, Blake ultimately attempts to expand upon the figure whom found serving in heaven too limiting to his aspirations. Blake creates a Satan that is recognizable in form to the eyes of present-day observers."

Abstract
This paper explains that Jesus was an exorcist, which is someone who drives out evil spirits or demons from people or places that have been possessed, most often by invoking the name of God. The author points out that the Gospel of Mark provides many examples depicting Jesus as an exorcist, who expelled demons and warded off evil. Mark understood that the miracles Jesus performed were his combat against the forces of evil. The paper concludes that, as depicted in Mark's gospel, healing people and casting out demonic spirits played an important role in Jesus' ministry, an important action in furthering the kingdom of God on earth.

From the Paper
"Mark's accounts of all of Jesus' exorcisms did not set him apart or single him out; in fact, it was just the opposite, all the stories Mark tells about the exorcisms make Jesus appear as a real part of the community at the time. There were many stories of men performing all types of wondrous acts. One difference was that Jesus' method of simple command over the demons was very different from the types of exorcisms practiced by other holy men of his time. Most exorcists of that period relied on rituals, chants, signs and artifacts to expel evil spirits. "

Abstract
This paper begins by summarizing the story in "The Book of Job" and then analyzes the lessons learned from the story. The paper also explains how the answer to why bad things sometimes happen to even the best of people can be found in this story.

From the Paper
"The Book of Job provides some useful insights about the nature of man and God to people who find themselves asking one of the most ancient and common of human questions: "why do bad things happen to good people?" Both believers and nonbelievers often find themselves wondering at what seems to be the incredible randomness of horrific acts that occur to people who seem to be good, or innocent (like children, infants, and people who have devoted their lives to others). Many Christians find themselves wondering why God would inflict such terrible suffering on the world, if he is truly a kind and benevolent being who watches over the human race as his own children. They wonder if God is if God is simply punishing the afflicted for their sins, tying to teach a lesson through the affliction of suffering, and even sometimes question whether God is truly a benevolent and kind entity. Suffering that occurs in the lives of those who are true believers in God, who live their lives by the word of God and the principles that are clearly set out within the Holy Bible, is especially difficult to begin understand if we accept unquestioningly that the same God who causes such terrible suffering is a kind, just, and giving God."
