Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the rationale for communities wanting baseball teams and their facilities in their neighborhood, followed by an analysis of some typical examples from recent years. A discussion of current and future trends in the impact of baseball teams and their facilities on neighborhood economies is then followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"There are a number of other indications of the continuing popularity of sports and those who play them as well. "Since the beginning of the twentieth century," Guthrie and Jozsa report, "sports have assumed a growing role in American culture" (3). Millions of Americans watch and listen to daily broadcasts of baseball games and their results, as well as the minutiae involved in the sport. Millions of other fans enjoy their weekly games at ballparks located in cities, towns, and suburbs across North America (Guthrie & Jozsa 1999). Other examples include America's fascination with sports figures and their peccadilloes that continue to dominate American headlines, and a more recent trend has avid fans discussing a vast array of sports topics on talk radio and prime-time television programs. "Even minute changes in the operation and ownership of teams receive top billing in the press."

Abstract
This paper explains that European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) was developed to combat some of the European security issues that exist in Europe. Authorities believe that the ENP would enhance the European Union's ability to secure the region against terrorism and would help promote the economy and overall quality of life of the region. The author points out that originally the ENP applied to its direct neighbors: Algeria, Belarus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine. Later, however, it was extended to include the countries of the Southern Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) with whom the present candidate countries, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey, share either a maritime or land border. The paper concludes that by eradicating terrorists or criminal activities and by strengthening the political and justice systems in the country, the ENP will be helpful to Georgia. The paper includes many quotations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to the commission's report these agreements permit the expansion of cooperation and economic amalgamation across a variety of domains. The effects of these agreements have not been realized at the current time. In any case, the ENP provides a foundation for improved cooperation in many distinct domains so that the EU and its partners can realize the full benefit of the structures that are in place (European Neighborhood Policy). To this end, the Action Plans will establish key priorities to be tackled in the years to come."

Abstract
This paper explains that most of the neighbors got involved in this neighborhood project not so much from the kindness of their heart but because they were concerned about the way the neighborhood looked. The author points out that, if any one individual had to buy all the supplies and labor, it would have been a substantial cost; however, because no one individual had to bear the burden, no one was put upon financially, and Mrs. Maryble did not feel obligated to any one particular person. The paper concludes that Mrs. Maryble resisted at first, saying she did not want anyone to go to such a fuss over her; however, she was so genuinely grateful that it made everyone who was involved feel proud and joyful that they took part in such an act of kindness.
From the Paper
"The woman who lives there, Mrs. Maryble is widowed and probably in her early seventies. She lives on her pension and makes extra money here and there by doing odd jobs such as sewing, babysitting, or pet-sitting. From what the older neighbors say, when her husband was alive he was the gardener, and kept everything ship-shape, but since his death, she had not been able to afford to hire anyone to do the heavy work, nor could she afford to buy the materials for the repairs made in the first place."

Abstract
The writer discusses his neighborhood watch group in Albany, Georgia. The writer looks at the watch group's aims and the activities that will help the group accomplish its goals. The writer discusses leadership roles and the importance of an effective communication structure. The writer relates that patrolling his neighborhood serves as an effective deterrent to criminal activities.
From the Paper
"In many communities where crime rates are high and the police have been ineffective, concerned citizens have formed neighborhood watch groups in order to identify and report criminal activity. Experience has shown that citizen efforts to patrol their neighborhoods serves as an effective deterrent, for criminals seek out more vulnerable neighborhoods once they see that residents have formed neighborhood watch groups and are taking proactive measures to protect their streets and homes from crime."

Abstract
This paper describes an area in Toronto that has attracted Korean businesses and others to make up a diverse section called Little Korea. This neighborhood is typical of Korean business districts in other North American cities. The author points out that Toronto's Little Korea has developed piecemeal rather than as an extension of the Annex area to the east The paper's methodology is mainly descriptive, based on an informal oral survey obtained directly in the district.
From the Paper
"Introduction to the Area Bloor Street, between Bathurst and Euclid presents a typical Annex district area of mixed development in a comparatively old or 'traditional' area of central Toronto. This paper results from an exploration of Bloor Street that commenced at the corner of Bloor and Bathurst Street, by the landmark "Honest Ed's" store that has long served new Canadians, students and others in need of low-cost household goods. Until the 1980s, the continuation of Bloor Street, westward from this point, featured a lessening of businesses of interest to the student population of the Annex."

Abstract
The author of this essay writes in a descriptive way, centering on how quaint the neighborhood is and its positive and negative points. The paper is written in a semi-humorous manner.
From the Paper
"At first glance the condominiums my family resides in would appear an average peaceful Germantown community that resembles a neighborhood the elderly move into after retirement. However, the old saying ?looks can be deceiving? comes to mind when viewing this village from a young adult?s perceptive. After visiting, a young adult would be certain that three things never change here: the neighbors? constant urge to complain about anything they see or come about, the constant reminder of childhood days, and the cozy neighborhood store."

Abstract
This paper examines how "Crime in the Neighborhood" by Suzanne Berne is a story with the theme of isolation running through out the plot. It looks at how it starts with the main character Marsha finding out her parents are having marriage problems and how her father soon leaves her mother to be with another woman. It analyzes the affect on Marsha when they move far away and how Marsha is then tormented by her older siblings before she torments her neighbour into isolation.
From the Paper
"After she finds out about the affair Louis (Marsha's mother) is diminished. "I had seen her naked before...not like this. She looked diminished and ribby and white - and unexpectedly hairy...like a store mannequin waiting to be dressed." Marsha feels that her mother has changed and not for the better since her father left her. She had visibly changed. The simile comparing her to "a store mannequin" shows that she is missing something. The mannequins clothes are missing while Louis is missing something which her husband took with him when he left. The word "ribby" shows that she is skinny and weak. She is left power-less to prevent things happening. She has lost her strength."

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of synthesized theories to the study of criminality and how they work to help prevent crime and to help understand the criminal mind. It looks at how the need to understand criminals has been in the minds and hearts of criminologist and police officers for countless years and how extending this understanding to the minds of others will help neighborhood watch programs tremendously.
From the Paper
"Synthesized theories have been around in the field of criminology for quite some time. This is largely because they work well in helping criminologists discover some of the hidden reasons and causes behind crime. In order have a full understanding of synthesized theories, it is important to explain two things: the concept behind synthesized theories, and their importance to the study of criminology. Knowing these two things will help individuals determine characteristics that might make people into criminals."

Abstract
This research addresses the issues of neighborhood disorder and delinquency, analyzes prior research on the subject, and proposes policy implications as a result of the findings. The research proposal analyzes previous inquiries into the fields of criminal justice and criminology to discern what factors influence the manifestation of disorder and delinquency, with special attention paid to juveniles. From the resulting analysis, solutions are posed. As an outcome of the research, proposed policy changes may include the following: change in penalties for first time offenders; altered minimum and maximum penalties for those aiding a juvenile in crime; transformation in prevention strategies; lowering/raising the age at which a juvenile may be tried as an adult; implementation of a mandatory curfew for those underage, or modification in penalties for parents subsequently deemed liable when a child commits a crime.
From the Paper
"I want to study the manifestation of neighborhood or community disorder and delinquency in adolescents. Although much research and prominence has been afforded the male juvenile offender ? from a fourth degree misdemeanor through capital murder ? little attention is paid to the female juvenile offender. In comparison, there is a great deal less research available on the factors that influence the female to commit a crime. It is just as critical to address the issues posed by a female offender. Some research suggests that this segment of the populous is one in which the frequency of crime is increasing at an alarming rate, even while their male counterparts see statistically fewer crimes committed each year on average. Therefore, it is meaningful to analyze both male and female offenders, as a group and separate."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the problems of drug trafficking in the poverty-stricken neighborhood of Allerton Avenue in the Bronx, New York and how drug trafficking is a very common issue in most poverty-ridden neighborhoods in the United States. It evaluates the lack of education and incentives of the youths in these areas who seek refuge in the delusional world of drugs and how drug-curtailing efforts by the police and other law-enforcement agencies are not successful. It discusses how the solution seems to be community involvement through citizen-driven programs which give citizens a chance to participate directly in those government actions, which aim at providing relief to poverty-stricken people of a particular neighborhood.
From the Paper
"Recruiting the right community members for the task force may often become a major problem, as people do not want to become part of an active campaign. Therefore the more discreet and low profile a campaign is, the better are the chances of its success. People join action committees when they are certain others would not be able to find out. This is because oft-times news of such an action committee may leak out which alerts the drug-dealers and they stay on the lookout for those who support such committeesillegal activities in poverty-stricken areas. We have seen that usually in more affluent areas, there are social networks that regularly arrange social events for the community. This is done both for recreational as well as educational purposes. People in the community gather at one place and get a chance to discuss various problems. It is here that they can come up with effective solutions to eliminate neighborhood problems."

Abstract
This paper examines how the decay and ruin of inner city neighborhoods, together with a deterioration of the quality of life for residents of those neighborhoods, are routine elements of urban life in the United States. It analyzes some of the issues through an effort to link poverty, living conditions and absence of a sense of community as a paradigm for both understanding the problem and developing solutions. The data for the study was collected through the administration of a survey questionnaire to the residents of a relatively small, depressed inner city neighborhood on the near northeast side of Rochester, New York.

"Over the past three decades, a major program designed to improve community development through local control and participation has been the Community Development Corporation (CDC) effort. Under the auspices of this program, more than 2,000 CDCs have been created. The program has become the premier conduit through which environmental, economic, social, and political problems confronting distressed urban and rural communities in the United States are addressed (Briggs, Mueller, & Sullivan, 1997)."

Crime and Residential Segregation, 2006.
This paper studies the correlation between crime and segregated and non-segregated neighborhoods.
2,267 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the theory that segregation of a neighborhood is a strong correlating factor determining the rate of crime in that area. Researching in a strong criminologist mindset, the paper touches on economic deprivation, the influence crime has on social change, social organization, adversity in black neighborhoods and police action in different segregated areas. The paper concludes that the higher the segregation in a neighborhood, the higher the rate of crimes and arrest.
Outline:
Economic Deprivation
Crime Influences Social Changes
Rising From the Ghetto
Social Organization
Adverse to Black Neighbors?
Police Action in Different Segregated Areas
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Subsequent research demonstrates that at any given point in time the racial composition of an individual suburban community or of a suburban region is a strong independent predictor of its level of violent crime" (Liska et al, 1998). As embarrassing as it may be, it is safe to say that segregation still exists in the United States. Minorities in America have been given many rights since the 1960's and 1970's and many eyes have been opened to embrace being blind to the color of a person's skin. Unfortunately much of the country is segregated, mainly whites from non-whites. How does this segregation affect crime? What is the correlation between crime and segregated and non-segregated neighborhoods?

Abstract
This paper discusses the rise of the Community Orientated Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) program, showing the positive influence it has had on tough neighborhoods and the satisfaction a community feels in having helped make theirs safer.
From the paper:
"Crime is an issue of paramount social importance, one that directly and indirectly affects each and every member of society. The costs associated with crime are not merely financial. Emotional costs result when a criminal murders or severely injures an individual=s family member or close friend, or when an offender is incarcerated, depriving his or her family of the emotional and/or financial support. Public concern has increased over specific aspects of the crime problem in recent years, namely domestic violence, drug-related crime and violence, gang-related crime and violence, juvenile crime, prison reform, and the role of television in producing violence. Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) gathered momentum in the 1980s and focuses on partnerships between communities and police officers, i.e., empowering citizens to shoulder their share of the responsibility and tough work of making their neighborhoods safer."
