...saga of a revolution in law enforcement, a new way of battling the bad guys, and it begins, at least in some tellings, with a colorful New York City transit cop named Jack Maple. He worked the subways back when the city was averaging four, five, almost six murders a day, and even though the experts informed him that crime was inseparable from such "root causes" as poverty and despair, Maple developed a theory that the key cause was criminals. If police collected and analyzed enough data, they could figure out where the criminals liked to operate and when they...
...crime did not occur without repeated warnings. Grievously out of touch with the reality on the ground, the unit's leadership was either unable or unwilling to recognize just how impaired 1st Platoon was and how serious and imminent a threat to Iraqi civilians Green, in particular, had become.

Insulation in one particular bubble is not conducive to the establishment of a welcoming social life on campus, and so the four-point introduction is needed to facilitate more...
...must be for the government to extend aid to states in order to save the jobs of teachers, civil servants, and local employees such as firefighters and policemen. Such aid was extended in Obama’s stimulus bill and helped save a great deal of jobs, but with almost every state running deficits and with a few even approaching bankruptcy, states would be forced to make difficult decisions if this aid were to run out. In addition to this, therefore, the government must build on the efforts of the stimulus and spend far more than $100 billion on infrastructure...
