Abstract
This paper acknowledges that public order versus individual rights is not a new controversy and how, since time immemorial, governments and individual citizens have had to walk a thin tightrope between the two ideals. It looks at how this controversy was the catalyst that sparked the first ten amendments of the Constitution that we know as the Bill of Rights and how, in addition to these rights secured by America's forefathers, a number of organizations have arisen to ensure the protection of individual rights in an increasingly complex world. In order to add balance to this equation, this paper contends that the criminal justice system should focus on dealing with public order.
From the Paper
"Private and autonomous liberty and collective authority are naturally diametrically opposed. As such, it's helpful to first have an understanding of what individual rights are. Individual rights is a multipurpose legal term that refers to what an individual is allowed to do and what can legally be done to them. It is the concept of individual rights that is the central theme in the 'due process model' of criminal justice. "The idea of individual rights is closely related to the idea of individual capital in some theories of political economy, in which the individual enhances his or her own creative capacities (as opposed to measurable productive capacities, which is usually called the theory of human capital), and must remain free to do so in any way she or he sees fit" ("Individual rights", 2004)."

Abstract
The paper discusses English law surrounding the right to free speech in relation to public order offences. It focuses on the judgements handed down in the case of "Redmond Bate v DPP". The paper also goes on to examine the effect of the Human Rights Act 2000 on free speech.
From the Paper
"It is possible to say that English law does not tolerate the freedom to demonstrate when and where members of the public want to. The Public Order Act 1936 was enacted to give the police varying powers to control public processions or public demonstrations. These new powers were deemed necessary because at a common law level a march or procession on a public highway is regarded as prima facie lawful. Section 3 of this new act gave the police powers to impose conditions the organisers of the procession. This was allowed if the officer in question felt that this course of action was necessary in order to maintain the preservation of public order. The Public Order Act 1986 extended the powers of the 1936 act and gave the police an even greater ability to impose conditions on organisers of marches. "

Abstract
This paper offers a full discussion of Acts of Parliament in the constitutional area of public order powers. Statutory powers eg: arrest for breach of peace are also referred to. The writer then relates relevant case law and links it to the argument as necessary. The paper concludes with the mpact of political influence.
From the Paper
"Problems with this question first occur when merely trying to define the terms given. We assume that ?law? is a reference to either Statutory or the Common Law, and therefore the question is directing us not to consider the practical powers, in terms of resources, financing, etc., that the government award the police. (However, this essay would be incomplete without a brief analysis of the effect of these practical considerations on law-given powers, so there shall be a short section dedicated to these questions later.) By restricting our studies to England we shall also not have to consider the specific public order problems faced, especially in respect to parades, in Northern Ireland, and we shall assume again that the term ?police? refers to the public police, not private policing relying on civil powers or indeed unofficial ?self-policing.?"

Abstract
This paper examines how the United States is a country that prides itself on the level of freedom afforded to its citizens and how freedom and the rights of the individual are two concepts that helped shape the very backbone of the country. It also discusses how the concept of public order provides a framework by which most citizens can operate. In particular, it looks at what happens when there is a clash between individual rights and public order in the context of sex-offender notification rules. It concludes that the safety of the community should and must take precedence over the sex offender?s individual right to privacy.
From the Paper
"Many cities have sex-offender notification laws on the books. These laws mandate that a convicted sex offender must notify the local police in the community in which he (most sex offenders are male; in fact the Department of Justice [1996] has determined that all but 3 percent of offenders who commit violent crimes against children are male) decides to live upon being released from prison. He is required to provide to the police information such as his place of residence, his place of employment, if he moves and where he is moving to, and other basic information. The police then make this information available to the community in some form, whether it be through a Web site, mailings, announcements in the newspapers, announcements at neighborhood meetings, and so on."

Public Interest or Public Best Interest, 2002.

»

Abstract
The paper shows the difficulty the public administrator is faced with when deciding what is the ?public interest? or ?public best interest? and that sometimes the administrator has to make decisions based on the community ?best? interests or the ?objective control of administration?. Sections of the paper include: Pluralists and the Public Administrator, The Public as Consumers, The Public as Represented, The Public as Client and the Public as Citizen.
From the Paper
"Other examples can be commercials. If a child sees cereal with a toy in it, he/she will beg and cry until the mother buys the cereal. The mother may know this is not the ?best interest? of the child because it lacks important vitamins or may be full of sugar. The commercial has placed value on knowing children will see the commercial and will talk their parents into buying it. The interest of the children is met, but not the ?best? interest of the children."

The Shift from ?Old Public Administration? to ?New Public Management', 2002.

Abstract
The main tenets of NPM are explored and their application to the U.S., New Zealand, and the U.K. is documented. The application of the NPM to developing countries of Africa, Latin America, South East Asia and the Anglophone Caribbean is also evaluated for their strengths and weaknesses.
From the Paper
"Like the Traditional bureaucracy, the New Public Management approach is yet another ?problem-solving tool? in the schema of public administration, that has emerged with a style of ordering the delivery of public goods and services, however, with a different method in mind. In discussing the so-called ?shift? from Old or Traditional forms of Public Administration, or as some such as Christopher Hood term it, Progressive Public Administration, quite a number of circumstances, situations, contexts as well as a variety of explanations should be proffered and assessed. One needs to critically examine the concept of a shift to New Public Management. The term ?shift?, if one is not careful, could indicate a sharp distinction in the change from Old to New styles of Public Management, or a leap from one paradigm to the other excluding essential features of the old, by replacing such features of the old with the new. This is certainly not the case. It should be noted tentatively, that New Public Management, as Hood, Patrick Dunleavy and others will later confirm, not only exists alongside other aspects of the traditional Model, but also that other features of other ?Intermediate Models? such as those of the Management, Comparative Development and the influences of earlier Market Models, still persist alongside NPM."

Abstract
This essay is a review artist Richard Serra's (1994) book, "Writing/Interviews". At the heart of the book is a broad social question about the identity of the public, and the location of public space. This essay considers the political conflicts that emerge in relation to Serra's destroyed public installation, "Tilted Arc." This controversy works as a profound metaphor that concerns the relationship between the public and the institutions that design space for the public. It is a question of ownership and basic issues of freedom, and how these are woven into the social structures that organize public movement and perspective.

From the Paper
" The purpose of this research is to review the book by Nicholas Henry, entitled Public Administration and Public Affairs (1995). This review will analyze the central themes of the work and address its strengths and weaknesses.
Henry begins by explaining the role of public bureaucracy and public administration in democratic society. He notes that bureaucracy and democracy are in fact antithetical. Bureaucracy tends to be hierarchical in nature and elitist. Democracy, on the other hand, tends to be egalitarian in nature. But in order for a democratic society to function properly, the bureaucracy and democracy must be reconciled (p. 1). Bureaucracy represents the technological elite, the body of persons skilled in how to get things done. The democratic mass is charged with determining the direction of public policy, but it is the skilled.."

"The art and craft of translation is my passion, and how the multitudes of the languages I speak and seek to perfect can be merged into the communications field shall become the passion of my future. I have longed love the translation process involved in translating one foreign language into another. My native language is Italian, but I am also well versed in English and Spanish. My degree thesis was entitled "The Casebook of Forensic Detection," under the supervision of Professor Adriana Bisirri. It was a work of scientific translation, but I tried to make it one of literary merit as well as clinical accuracy, under the watchful eye of Professor Bisirri."

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
The debate over the need to reorganize government and how best to accomplish that has been raging in academic and public administration circles for some time, but the debate has become a national and very public issue first because of the considerable dissatisfaction expressed in recent years on the part of much of the public with their public institutions and leaders and second because of the present effort by the Clinton Administration to do something about it. With the announcement early in September of Vice-President Gore's analysis of the issue and his recommendations for change, the debate is likely to become more heated in the months to come. One complaint has been that government is inefficient, especially when compared with the ..."

Abstract
This paper deals with evaluating the role of transparency in strengthening public service provision and in designing effective public policies. Different theories and practices of transparency in government and other actors in society vis-a-vis the public are discussed thoroughly. The paper also examines the view that there are some cases where transparency may be best, some cases where it may not be the best way, or may need to be greater, and this is achieved by drawing, comprehensively, on literature and data in the developed and developing world alike.
From the Paper
"In designing policies, the sensitivity to motivational complexity, Goodin?s third principle, has to be considered. There are a number of impulses that drive the motives of social actors. Some of these are self-seeking impulses that tend to exist alongside ?principled and altruistic motives?. His final principle, variability, is seen as a central principle of design. He suggests that experiments be undertaken with different structures in different places. There should also be a willingness to use the concept of lesson drawing where appropriate---learn from others? successes and failures. "

Abstract
This paper examines how effective public relations is the key to many issues that arise in a corporation, government, or other entity, and how, without a good public relations stance and department, an entity can find itself in situations it is not prepared to handle. Through three different real world examples, Johnson and Johnson, ValuJet Airlines, and the President Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, it demonstrates how not all situations are easy to handle and not all organizations or individuals are equipped to handle tough situations. It looks at how it is essential to consider all views and to launch a clear and effective public relations campaign as quickly as possible.
From the Paper
"As the crisis continued to unfold and the media began to spin the situation out of control, Lewis Jordan felt he was best equipped to handle the press and the investigation that was already underway. He flew directly to the site the day after the incident and fielded questions from the site no matter how tough the questions were. However, he continued to make it clear through his public relations message that his first priority was to the families of the ones who perished in the crash. He also felt his expertise in the airline industry was another reason for him to run the public relations message and to help the company recover from this tragic event. Jordan and ValuJet faced a media onslaught and faced speculation from the media that the cause was everything from old aircraft to the engines in the plane being substandard without any evidence as to the cause of the crash."
