Abstract
This paper presents a study of the effects of China?s controversial Strategic Demographic Initiative on women, both in the short term and the long term. Particular attention is paid to the one-child policy and to urban Chinese women. Prospects for development are considered as well.
From the Paper
" The argument over the existence of overpopulation has been spreading since Thomas Malthus lifted quill from paper after finishing Essay on the Principle of Population. Over the last fifty years, international population analysis has been highly concentrated on the South, where extreme poverty creates concern over population size. China?s aggressive population control measures have made it the darling of neo-Malthusian theorists and the enemy of several human rights proponents, including feminist organizations. Accounts of coercive measures employed to attain population quotas, as well as surveys and interviews, make it evident that Chinese policy?in particular the one-child requirement?has not yet gained widespread acceptance by women. The impact of the policy has been both positive and negative for Chinese women but, while it provides effective conditions for socialist development, it requires a greater process of democratization in order to reflect the needs of women in the family."

Abstract
This paper discusses the need for effective law enforcement policies in the U.S. regarding juvenile gangs rather than the present policies which have arisen out of research that has been sensationalized or misinterpreted to the point that it is meaningless for law enforcement agencies or policymakers to use in formulating effective interventions or other relevant programs. The paper proposes that policies for dealing with juvenile gangs should be guided by questions looking at the reality of the juvenile gang problem in the United States today, the incidence of violence associated with gang memberships and the impact the definition of "juvenile" has on gang members who enter the juvenile justice system in the U.S. Additionally, the paper asserts that development of policies on juvenile gangs must be guided by questions looking at which law enforcement programs and community initiatives have proven effective in reducing the incidence of gang membership and violence in inner cities and whether or not juveniles can be prevented from joining gangs in the first place. The study proposes to use an action research methodology to answer the questions raised in the paper.

Summary
From the Paper
"This renewed interest in juvenile justice policy generally and in highly punitive interventive measures specifically has taken place in spite of a growing body of research that indicates the incidence for most types of juvenile offending have remained relatively stable over the past 20 years; in fact, the majority of crimes that are committed by juvenile offenders are property offenses such as theft and vandalism rather than violent personal crimes. According to Wolcott, the rates of property offenses decreased during the period 1974 and 1984, but increased slowly between 1985 and 1991 (these rates still did not reach the 1974 levels, though). This author reports that property crime arrest rates have actually remained constant since 1992, but juveniles were responsible for 20 percent to 25 percent of all property offenses committed in the United States annually between 1981 and 1995 (U.S. Department of Justice, 1996)."

Abstract
The paper provides an understanding of how stress could impact law enforcement officials. The factors that cause stress for law enforcement officials are discussed, and they include personal life issues, the pressures of work, the public response towards police job, the entire criminal law system, and the entire rules and procedures involved in the law system. The paper explains that, if this stress is not alleviated, then the officers start reacting in negative ways. The biggest stress on most police officers is suicide. The paper presents figures about the high rate of suicide amongst the police officer population group. The paper states that it is essential that police officials understand the importance of all these factors and take measures, with the help of various policies and programs, to reduce the stress faced by them. If suicide among police is to be avoided, then it would be imperative for those who know and work with them to not only increase their alertness about the intensity of the problem, but also to learn the checking and intervention steps to take and when to take them.
From the Paper
"In every stage of life a human being has to go through a period where one gets affected by stress and has to find means of dealing with the issue. While defining stress we can say that it is basically the way the body responds to certain anxieties that occur out of the blue which ultimately turn out to be either pleasant or even unpleasant and the stress could be emotional or may also affect physically. This stress that is imposed on the individual can be borne by him to a certain level and this depends on each individual. This reaction depends on each individual?s internal depiction and the way he reacts to the external issues that actually are defined by his personality, his beliefs, values and other previous experiences. But this stress can cause damage when the individual facing it cannot handle it at that moment."

Abstract
This paper reviews how the Chinese government implemented a strict one-child policy decades ago in order to control its drastic population explosion. The author indicates that although the policy was enforced with reward and punishment, it has been largely successful. However, this policy, against natural process of reproduction, is creating serious social issues such as gender imbalance and orphans. The policy is very controversial due to its inhumane approach including mass sterilizations and forced abortions, and the policy also violates a human right of reproduction. This paper examines whether China can supply enough food, jobs and places to live for its people despite this policy and what problems China will face in the future.
From the Paper
"More than a fifth of the world's population lives in China today. Even though Chinese government had implemented a fairly successful One-child policy, Chinese population will continue to grow until it is estimated to level off sometime before 2100. Chinese government was successful in making people believe that having more than one child is not good for China's future. On the other hand, strict and inhumane policy had raised some issues in terms of basic human rights in reproduction and also damage to traditional values. However controversial the policy was, it helped to control China's population growth. The question China must answer is; Can China support itself today, and in the future?"

Abstract
This paper discusses the one-child Policy in China, now named the Law on Population and Family Planning, 2002. It explores the problems faced by the Chinese people due to the implementation of this policy and takes a deep look at its origin. The paper also examines the social and economic outcome of the one-child policy and the issue of infanticide associated with it.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Origin of the One-Child Policy
Enforcement in Urban and Rural Areas
Social Problems
Infanticide
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The One-Child policy has been a successful attempt by China to curb its population. This law has now been renamed the Law on Population and Family Planning, 2002. It is viewed as a women friendly law but ends up compromising their freedom and equality. This law helps to educate people about family planning and helping women improve their status in society as well as ending discrimination of women and abandonment of female infants. These policies proved that the Chinese Authorities have softened their stance on the One-Child Policy but then they have stated that they will be continuing this policy during their 2006-2010 planning period."

Abstract
This paper examines the problem of drug abuse in America, claiming it has reached epidemic proportions. The paper discusses previous policies for reducing or eliminating the drug problem in America, their ineffectiveness and why they were ineffective. The paper also discusses current drug policies, explaining that they are far more effective than past policies but that there is still much to be done in order to rid the country of the devastating societal problem. In particular, the paper focuses on the drug policies of former New York City mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, and how effective they have been in reducing New York's drug problem and suggests that these are policies that the entire nation should be implementing as well.
From the Paper
"Drug abuse is major epidemic in the United States. The supply is plentiful, and the demand high. Drug abuse leads to crime. An addict needs money from somewhere, and crime is often the only answer. Over the past ten years, large efforts have been made by law enforcement agencies to reduce the demand for drugs. Previously, most law enforcement agencies were trying to reduce the supply of drugs into this country. However, by ignoring demand, they ignored one of the basic rules of economics in our society, if there is a demand for a product someone will supply it, regardless of the legality of the product. These efforts, therefore, failed miserably."

Abstract
Stakeholder theory states that shareholders are on the highest position and have authority in determining company?s goals and responsibilities followed downwards by the resources of the company to execute into actions. This paper especially examines the influences that stakeholders may have on determining a company's environmental policy and enforcing its implementation.
From the Paper
"As the top-level management and decision makers, corporate directors address their responsibility to the stakeholders, literally as the ?owners? of the company, to whom all the running processes in the company, goal settings, and money spent should be reported. To follow the track, a manager is tied to what his/her employers have defined in the tasks list. Whatever skills and creativity managers possess must be utilized within the range of responsibility they have to the stakeholders, as stakeholders are the top decision-making board."

Cultural Diversity in Law Enforcement, 2004.
A look at the current trend toward developing cultural diversity awareness training for police departments.
1,090 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how training in cultural diversity in law enforcement is not an idea that sprang to life in the current generation and how, throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, it was the so-called progressive policies in law enforcement and criminal justice that created the problems we see today. It looks at how these progressive policies, such as institutionalization, indeterminate sentencing, probation, and community corrections. All have been seen, in retrospect, to have had deleterious effects on the populations they were supposed to help, namely, immigrants and racial minorities, and preserving the locus of power and the status quo. It also discusses how researchers believe those reforms were more directed toward increasing effectiveness of the criminal justice system than in taking account of minority and cultural differences.
From the Paper
"One of the agencies seemingly committed to improving their report card concerning cultural diversity is the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division (CI). A statement by the agency said it realizes that ?to be a leading law enforcement agency in the 21st century, we must fully embrace the diversity that exists among the citizens of America and strive to replicate that diversity among our own workforce.? The organization has created Diversity Council, made up of Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, male, and female CI employees. It is meant to provide a voice for employees to address diversity-related concerns, and improve the quality of their work life."

Abstract
This paper examines why monetary policy is an important aspect of macroeconomic stability. The paper looks at why the tools, procedures and the body for enforcing these tools and procedures are very important aspects of any society. The paper then explains that monetary policy is a tool utilized by policy makers to correct inflationary or recessionary gaps. Next, the paper points out that the tools of monetary policy are used throughout an economy for other purposes; hence there are drawbacks to using it for macroeconomic stability. The paper also explores whether the marginal benefit from monetary policy exceeds the marginal cost of using the tools of monetary policy. In addition, the paper looks at how monetary policy also has 'spillover' effects for other markets, such as the financial markets or general business operation. In conclusion, the paper shows that lowering inflation or closing recessionary gaps have been the primary focus of the policies.

Macroeconomic stability and Monetary Policy: A Look at the 1970s and 1980s
Monetary Policy Efficiency: How the Change Did or Could Have Impacted Me
From the Paper
"Monetary policy is used during inflationary or recessionary periods to correct the problem. Ideally during inflationary periods the Federal Bank and policymakers want to decrease the money supply and increase interest rates, so that borrowing/spending can be constrained. During recessionary periods, policymakers will try to do the opposite, that is increase the money supply, so that interest rates can rise and increase investment and spending, which will have a spill-over effect on employment (BOG: Federal Reserve System, 2006, p. 15)."

Public Policy Regarding the Disabled, 2004.
Looks at the history of policies on and legislation regarding those who suffer from disabilities.
2,524 words (approx. 10.1 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 76.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how the disabled have been discriminated against in the U.S., past public policy that enforced this discrimination, and recent changes to legislation and policy that are designed to eliminate discrimination and protect the rights of individuals with disabilities. Finally, the paper presents both the arguments in favor of disability policies and laws, as well as the arguments, opposed to disability policies and laws.
From the Paper
"Public policy was made up of state and private/corporate policies until the middle of the 1950s, when things began to change, however, wrongheadedly by making those with disabilities ?sick.? But some recognition was better than none, and at least opened the door to a changing approach over time. With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, many thought the change was complete. They hadn?t reckoned with state?s desires to circumvent paying off for their prior misdeeds. They hadn?t reckoned with the huge, although apparently temporary, outcry from business that making accommodations to facilities as required by the law would bankrupt them."

Crime Policy Propositions, 2007.
This essay discusses propositions regarding policies for getting tough on crime and focused proactive law enforcement strategies.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that there are many get-tough-on-crime policies that are well intentioned in their attempts to keep our streets safe. The writer maintains, however, that if they are created in a knee jerk reaction fashion, well intentioned laws can lead to damaging the criminal justice system. The writer argues that these policies can create greater problems in already overcrowded prisons, causing some offenders to serve more time for the crimes other offenders have committed. In addition, the writer states that, while other policies such as proactive law enforcement strategies can produce the desired short-term effect of reducing crime, if they are not maintained, they become only a band-aid instead of a solution.
Outline:
Introduction
Proposition
Agreement
Proposition
Disagreement
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When legislators suddenly go with a get tough on crime approach, it is usually a knee jerk reaction due to public outcry. Such reactions come when an individual or individuals commit a crime that is so heinous that it is beyond the public's comprehension. The debate of getting tough on crime, especially repeat offenders took center stage this July in Connecticut when two non-violent offenders robbed and murdered a mother and two children within a week of being released. Governor Jodi Rell has since suspended paroles of any violent offenders within the state. Connecticut's prisons were already facing overcrowding issues prior to this decision."

Table of Contents:
Needs for Population Control
Attempts as Birth Control
China and India
Southeast Asia
Bangladesh
Conclusions
From the Paper
"The amazing economic development in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore over the past fifty years has been accompanied by an intense interest on the part of governments in those nations in fertility issues. The nations experienced rapid population growth for much of the last century, but as much of that growth was driven by rapidly improved medical care and other aspects of development that worked to prolong life. The governments therefore implemented education policies designed to encourage people to wait until later in life to marry and to have fewer children. Such family planning worked to slow the fertility rates so that the population growths were slowed and eventually leveled. In other nations such as Vietnam and Laos, where economic development and education did not go hand in hand as expansively and rapidly, the population growth rates seem to have taken longer. This suggests that economic development can work to increase population, but that the growth can be curbed if it is coupled with social and education development, so that modernization is treated as a comprehensive program (Jones)."

Deadly Force and the Law Enforcement Agents, 2002.
This paper examines the use of deadly force by law enforcement agents and concludes that law enforcement?s recourse to deadly force where necessary should not be significantly reduced.
1,175 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper evaluates both sides of the issue about the use of deadly force by law enforcement agents by using a formal logic format of two premises and a conclusion. This paper states that suing every cop who uses deadly force or disarming law enforcement altogether is not the answer to problems that attend the use of deadly force. The author concludes that there is compelling evidence that law enforcement organizations have been conscientious in recent years about developing an ethos of public protection and service and firearm safety. Annotated Bibliography.
From the Paper
"Such attitudes and trends help explain why police personnel are increasingly at risk. Police are put in the position of continually second-guessing themselves in the matter of use of deadly force. This means that law-enforcement effectiveness can suffer, which can further erode public safety and make respect for the law an irrelevant social proposition."

Zero-Tolerance Policy, 2003.
Questions the pros and cons of enforcing a zero-tolerance policy on school violence.

Abstract
This paper examines the policies developed in dealing with violence in schools and looks at the arguments for a zero-tolerance policy and the arguments for a less severe discipline plan. It presents a detailed literature review on the subject and concludes with recommendations for alternative solutions.
From the Paper
"Zero-tolerance is a term that is not limited to schools; it is used to deal with crime, which I feel certain types of violence in schools are?a crime. Along with violence, there are other crimes committed in schools that warrant a zero-tolerance, such as drug possession. I am firmly for a zero-tolerance policy on violence and crimes in schools. However, it is the type of violence and the age of the student that must be closely examined before the punishment is given out. There needs to be certain grades of violence defined and placed with a certain punishment. For example, hitting a teacher would be a Grade III infraction and would merit an immediate expulsion. Meanwhile, a fight in the hallway would be a grade II infraction and merit a 5-day suspension. I just don?t feel that we can rid ourselves of violence by getting rid of every child who commits a violent act."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that in order to keep the law and order situation of the society under control, it is necessary for the law enforcement agencies to establish efficient and effective guidelines for law enforcement. It shows too, however, that it is also important to consider the ethical perspectives before making any decision in this regard. The primary responsibility of the law enforcement agencies is to work for the benefit of the society and serve the community. In this regard, they are responsible for protecting the citizens from criminal activities and keep the environment peaceful. The paper discusses how effective law enforcement ensures the security of lives and properties of the citizens and safeguards their individual liberty and rights. In addition to this, the law enforcement agencies should make sure that their actions and policies are in conformance to the ethical standards of the society and do not violate any ethical or moral principle.
From the Paper
"It is also important to note that the law enforcement officials should be trustworthy, responsible, fair and should respect each and every member of the society regardless of his or her race, religion or ethnic origin. He or she should be honest with his or her job and should completely fulfill his or her obligations. In addition to this, he should be responsible enough to keep his promises and to fulfill his commitments. Another important aspect to be kept in mind, while serving as a law enforcement officer, is that he or she should respect the individual liberty of every individual and treat the citizens fairly regardless of their race, ethnicity or religion. Moreover, they should keep a considerably high level of tolerance and should patiently deal with individuals who are either not willing to cooperate with them or are trying to abuse them."
