...with an unlikely solution: "We basically decided to harass them," Fergus Caulfield of Essex Police says of the hoodies. Operation Leopard involves police officers targeting known offenders, openly filming them, stopping them repeatedly on the street, and hounding them at their homes. The goal, according to the operation's manual, is to make offenders feel the same sense of intimidation and disruption that they typically inflict on the law-abiding public. "We need to target offenders and make their lives as miserable as possible by any lawful means we can," the manual advises. "Put the shoe on the other foot...
...disabled have traditionally been marginalized in China. Ahead of the Olympics, organizers issued an official apology for a manual cautioning volunteers that the disabled can have "unusual personalities" and can be "stubborn and controlling." Beijing alone is home to nearly 1 million disabled, but they're a largely invisible part of the population. Those that can work are funneled into the few jobs that are open to the disabled, like paraplegics who can drive three-wheeled motor taxis or those who are sight-impaired and work in massage parlors. The Paralympics offers the hope that watching disabled athletes compete will...

With better organization, the report authors believe, biological problems like infectious disease can also be brought under control through social policy. Mexico has in a matter of decades consigned widespread diarrheal diseases...
...that Atlanta probably bought a bunch of signs back in the late 70s, early 80s and maybe weren't aware of the change," Hecox says. Logical as that might seem, there are likely other gender-specific signs still being used that are not subject to the regulations, because the manual regulates signage on public roadways and the right of way areas on both sides of the road but does not regulate signs used in private construction. Then again, private construction companies and contractors do purchase their signs from some of the same businesses as the FHWA division offices in each...
