Abstract This paper presents a detailed examination of the arrest and charge of Constable Robert Hagan regarding the stolen pieces of the Space Shuttle Columbia. The writer explores several aspects of the case, including what Hagan is charged with doing and what his possible punishments might be.
From the Paper "For society to function properly it must be able to place the utmost trust in those it chooses to protect and to serve its members. The ability to trust police officers and others who are charged with leading the moral path is essential to the continued growth and development of the nation. When a trusted official breaks the law it sends shock waves through society. Constable Robert Hagan II has been charged with stealing from the United States government. His case has made national news because he is a trusted elected official and as such expected to hold himself to a higher standard than the average resident. His case is being watched closely by media and laymen alike as he goes through the process he was supposed to help implement and uphold."
Abstract This paper studies the levels in crime during the nineteenth century, and the possible causes and reasons for this. It looks at the introduction of the Police Constable into British society, their role and the effects they had upon the crime trends. It also includes other factors that may have affected the crime rate, such as poverty, the increase in population and the increased convictions of crimes.
From the Paper "The passing of the Metropolitan Police Act in 1829, gave the Home Secretary, Robert Peel, the chance to establish a brand new police force. Two commissioners were introduced to run the force, Colonel Sir Charles Rowan and Richard Mayne, which would consist of 3,000 policemen to serve London, excluding the City of London. To be run similar to a military unit, with military discipline, the force was hoped to be a band of men strong, fit and of high qualities. But it was a very different story in reality; those picked were unfit, ragged, ill-disciplined, young and drunk. The main reason for this was due to the low pay and so the only people attracted to the job were young men who had no families or responsibilities and for half of the time would be drunk. The job would be used as a temporary fill in job, before a person could get into another position. The low rate of pay was the biggest reason for not being able to recruit the best possible person; even by 1872 the problems had not improved. PC Green, a member of the Birmingham police force said ?The rate of wages is such that I would never have accepted it had I not been driven to it. The performance of police duties deprives me of both my comfort and my liberty, and when I put on my uniform I become the scoff of every low blackguard in the town.? "
From the Paper " Nicole Constable, in Maid to Order in Hong Kong: Stories of Filipina Workers, describes the physical and psychological lives of those domestic workers in the homes of Chinese in Hong Kong, their attitudes toward own lives and work, and the attitudes of the workers and the Chinese toward one another. Constable's primary purpose, from a scholarly perspective (she is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh), is to document the particulars of the lives of these women for others interested in labor relations, cross-cultural attitudes, class differences, and the role of the state in regulating foreign workers. However, underlying this scientific viewpoint is the author's clear intention to humanize a group of workers who have previously been dehumanized both by their employers and by those with no first-hand knowledge of the women's experience, but with.."

From the Paper "A Citizen's Police Academy program is a series of lessons geared toward the general public concerning the policies and procedure of police work. The intent of any such program is to improve the police-community relationship by providing citizens with exposure to the realities of police work; an auxiliary intent it so improve the attitude of citizens toward the police. Generally, the lessons are two to three hours in length each, once a week, for ten to thirteen weeks. Participants are required to attend, but are not given homework. Often, hands-on experiences or vivid demonstrations are part of the program. Participants may be from any walk of life; instructors are active police officers or representatives from allied public services, such as the public defender's or prosecutor's office."
This paper discusses the revolutionary changes in society and in art during the 19th century in Europe and some of its artists, which altered forever the face of art.
Abstract This paper explains that painting in the 19th century, still highly influenced by the spirit of Romanticism, progressing through the "schools' of Realism, Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, proved an even more sensitive medium for personal expression. The author points out that the Impressionists sought to create the illusion of forms bathed in light and atmosphere, which required an extensive study of natural light as the source of all color, leading to the revelation that the actual color of an object is always modified by the quality of the light in which it is seen, by reflections from other objects and by the effects produced by colors lying against each other. The paper reviews in detail the work of Francisco Goya, Jacques Louis David, Eugene Delacroix, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, J.M.W. Turner, John Constable, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Georges Seurat, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh and Auguste Rodin.
From the Paper "The history of 19th century painting in its first sixty years has often been interpreted as a contest between Eugene Delacroix and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1781-1867) who broke away from David on matters of artistic style, for he believed that David's art was too realistic and based far too much on Greek influences. For Ingres, painting encompassed flat and linear figures, a manner that was severely criticized as being "primitive" and Gothic. However, Ingres soon became the leader of the academic forces in their battle against Delacroix and his contemporaries."
Abstract The paper analyzes the dynamics of why some American men look abroad for wives and use the Internet to find sites that offer to broker introductions with available young women from Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America. The paper further analyzes the relative success rates for these couples, and their problems and challenges in relating to each other and making the marriages successful. The paper discusses the book by Nicole Constable, "Romance on a Global Stage: Pen Pals, Virtual Ethnography and "Mail Order" Marriages", which refutes stereotypes of why American men seek out wives from the Asian nations of China and the Philippines.

From the Paper "Sex roles and more specifically the higher levels of expectations American women in general have of their husbands to provide stability, opportunities for their own growth and freedom of expression and achievement are together why some American men look off-shore for their wives. Conversely the expectations of these women from other nations that may not have the advanced educations and experienced earning paychecks on their own, and in essence having their own financial freedom makes them more dependent on their American husbands for the definition of their roles."
