Methods Are Used to Evaluate the Economic Costs of Domestic Violence. The issue of economic cost arises due to the devising of actions or policy plans to combat domestic violence. The best approach to evaluate the economic costs of domestic violence is through prevention, opportunity cost, and response (Oliver et al., p 16). For instance, the cover costs that relate to maximized burdens on the structure of law enforcement, legal cost incurred by individuals, cost on shelters and housing, healthcare costs, and judiciary costs. There is also a decrease in tax paid to the government or lost wages due to declines in productivity and employment, social services, and support services.

SKILLS FOR WRITING A DISSERTATION Introduction The writing skills you learn while developing your dissertation become useful later on in life. Odena & Burgess, 2015 argue that it gives one a competitive edge in the job market after graduation as one has learned skills on the development of reports and other papers. They say that learning writing skills will help the students to overcome writers blocks. According to the Higher Education Council for England, 2010, over 75% of students studying doctoral degrees in UK universities four years later than the expected. He associates this to failure on the part of the students to understand and develop strategies or skills for writing dissertations. Dissertation writing is a tedious and daunting task.

It is a rewarding yet challenging part of the degree that students have to go through. The skills for writing a dissertation can be considered in the writing style adopted, research skills,…
The Friendship Between Paul Kagame and the Banyamulenge is Non-existent. Since 1996, the Banyamulenge, a Congolese Tutsi community, has repeatedly been accused by their fellow Congolese of conspiring with Rwanda to oust Zaire’s former long-standing ruler Mobutu Sese Seko from power. As a result of this alleged disloyalty, the Banyamulenge have become scapegoats for the continuing humanitarian crisis that has plagued the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for many years. While the Banyamulenge were seeking a regime-changing war, that would topple the long-ruling Mobutu’s tenure (which had been marked by rampant corruption intended to enrich himself and his cronies), Kagame’s plan was improving Rwanda by expropriating the natural resources of its neighbors in the Democratic Republic of Congo and becoming what some have termed as ‘Africa’s economic success story.’ While Rwandan President, Paul Kagame (a self-proclaimed anti-genocide activist, with Rwanda, also branded as an anti-genocide watchdog) sought to present himself as a champion of the Banyamulenge cause, it is fair to say that the Banyamulenge had been made into political pawns, solely to advance Rwanda’s economic interests. The lip service…
The Gap Year and College Students Introduction High school graduation is one of the biggest achievement for most of the students. This is because it marks a new beginning where they can enroll in college and get all the freedom they want. When looking at the current world, there is a big difference between the students who join colleges directly after high school completion and those who prefer a gap year. A gap year can be defined as that period after or before college, where students are involved in several activities such as traveling or doing other tasks (Vargas et al., 2017). Students who take a gap year before colleges become better prepared since they gain other skills and can select the kind of careers they want. With this idea in mind, it is vital to consider a flipped classroom. This discussion will consider the crucial factors in a flipped classroom. Definition Technology has made education to be easier for the students since they don’t have to attend school for them to learn. One of the most applicable trends…
Bias with respect to how people deal with authority. Proactive policing, as a key methodology utilized by police organizations to avert wrongdoing, is a generally new marvel in the US. It created from an emergency in trust in policing that started to rise during the 1960s in light of social distress, rising wrongdoing rates, and developing suspicion with respect to the viability of standard ways to deal with police. Accordingly, starting during the 1980s and 1990s, creative police practices and strategies that adopted an increasingly proactive strategy started to create. This report utilizes the expression “proactive policing” to allude to all policing procedures that have as one of their objectives the avoidance or decrease of wrongdoing and clutter and that are not receptive as far as concentrating principally on revealing continuous wrongdoing or on researching or reacting to violations once they have happened. The high rates at which non-Whites are halted, addressed, referred to, captured, or harmed by the police present the absolute most notable criminal equity arrangement wonders in the US (Kochel, Wilson, and Mastrofski, 2011; Lytle, 2014). Since…
