Abstract
This paper explains that, when Giuliani became mayor, New York was a crime ridden, welfare city, an undesirable place to live and especially to visit; however, by the time, he finished his second term, New York City was a very different place. The author points out that, to build the tourism industry, Giuliani changed the bureaucratic New York City Travel and Visitors Bureau to the marketing organization, NYC & Company, which knew how to target an audience and highlight the city's most sellable asset; its unique diversity found nowhere else. The paper stresses that the way Mayor Giuliani responded to the World Trade Towers bombing not only proves that a city can recover from such an incident but also even the travel and tourism industry can come back bigger and better.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Giuliani focused on the private economy as a driver of opportunity. He urged New Yorkers to take responsibility for their lives and for their well-being. He felt that the state should provide basic services, but that is all. The opportunities for prosperity rest on the shoulders of the people, not the state, according to Giuliani. This attitude shifted responsibility to the private citizens. It helped to instill a sense of pride and self-determination. This was the key factor in the ability to turn around the ailing city."

Abstract
The paper discusses New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's implementation of a mandatory police response to various quality-of-life violations. The paper describes the enforcement of minor infractions and reveals that the implementation of this zero-tolerance approach under Giuliani achieved its objectives, but at a price that many citizens considered oppressive and in a manner that many police officers felt eliminated their power of discretion. The paper concludes that nevertheless, the quality-of-life focus is widely regarded as a successful program that achieved its major objectives.
Outline:
Introduction
The Relevance of the Broken Windows Concept to a Bustling Metropolis
Post-Giuliani Enforcement of Minor Violations
From the Paper
"In 1993, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani implemented a zero-tolerance approach to criminal code enforcement that included mandatory police response to various violations, the lowest level of infraction set forth in the criminal code, below misdemeanors (Conlon, 2004). According to Giuliani, low-level violations, particularly those that relate to the so-called broken windows concept, detract from the overall quality of life of ordinary citizens.
"That initiative included a crackdown on minor infractions like squeegee solicitations, spitting in public, playing music that is audible to others on public transportation, unlawful assembly, and even "improper use of a milk crate" (i.e. sitting on it) that were appreciated more by some than others (Conlon, 2004)."

Abstract
Rudolph W. Giuliani, former Mayor of New York City, began 2001 in relative national obscurity and was deemed by many to be a mediocre mayor at best. But, by the end of the year, in the wake of 9/11, Rudy Giuliani became a national hero. Giuliani was given an opportunity to demonstrate resolve, inner-strength, courage, and dedication to his cause and country in rare fashion. It was his steady gaze and reassuring voice that carried the day; much more so than President Bush's visibly shaken, uncertain, even frightened flight from city to city in the wake of the attacks. While our President was hiding in bunkers and on airplanes, Giuliani was at "Ground Zero", making himself useful in a direct and incredibly effective manner. There was no pretense, no fear, just a great man who had never had the opportunity to demonstrate that fact of himself. Leadership, true leadership, has inherent qualities that cannot simply be tried on. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the leadership qualities of Rudolph W. Giuliani and to demonstrate that his is an assured political future.

Abstract
This paper illustrates the issues of large urban port cities as seen in Dublin and New York City. The paper provides an in-depth history of each city and compares the social issues of the urban environment, ethnic diversity, poverty and crime.
From the Paper
"New York City is generally considered the doorway to America. It is the largest city in the nation, seven million strong, and a main hub of financial activity. This is probably the most racially and ethnically diverse of the large American cities, the epitome of the melting pot. A third of the population is of African descent, fifteen percent are Jewish, twelve percent Hispanic. Other ethnic populations have a vocal presence, including the Irish, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Indian, and other Asians. If one city has represent urban America over the last 200 years, it would be the harbor city of New York, New York.
" Across the Atlantic ocean lies another city, a little farther from the ocean, though not much. It is the "fair city" of Dublin, that capitol of the Republic of Ireland. This is a fairly heterogeneous city, for it is the center of 4,000 year old struggle for cultural sanctity and independence. The vast majority of the citizens are Irish or British nationals, Christian and white. Most are Roman Catholic, and the largest "minority" are the British Protestants. One fourth of the citizens of Ireland, approximately 900,000 souls all told, now live in Dublin and its suburbs, and its name is becoming synonymous with Irish culture and tradition."

Abstract
The paper discusses the issue of curfew, its practice around the U.S. and whether New York City should implement a youth curfew. The paper's final analysis endorses the idea of a curfew as one step in preventing an increase in juvenile crime.
From the Paper
"Curfew Laws for New York City: Argument in Favor of a Curfew Law in New York City. Curfew laws are regulations which specify the hours that certain age groups must remain off public sidewalks and streets or in other public spaces. Most, but not all American cities, have some type of curfew laws in place. Such laws are generally intended to keep juveniles off the streets during certain hours, generally late evening and early morning, for their own protection and to prevent or retard juvenile crime."

From the Paper
"Following World War II, the Tammany Hall political machine began to lose the nearly overwhelming power that it had once enjoyed. The emergence of Jewish and Italian populations challenged the old Irish dominance. Changes in the loyalties of Jewish and Irish voters brought new political figures to the forefront. Political parties such as the Liberal Party (primarily Jewish) began to exercise influence in elections."
