HAARP and Weather

Image
HAARP Earthquake Tesla is apparently responsible for the 'earthquake machine'. HAARP is a program that creates weather conditions, in which machines are used to alter the weather. It can enhance a light rain and change that into a storm. It can create earthquakes and some signs of its actions are evident. HAARP closed by 2015:  Closed                             https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marcia_Pinheiro4

Restorative Justice: Towards Incarceration Zero (Part I)

Ladies and Gentlemen, we now have restorative justice.  What does that mean? Justice by individual agreements, seen from a case-to-case perspective. In practice (https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/06/magazine/can-forgiveness-play-a-role-in-criminal-justice.html?ref=magazine&_r=0&pagewanted=all): "Campbell had charged Conor with first-degree murder. which, as most people in Florida understand it,carries a mandatory life sentence or, potentially, the death penalty. He told the Grosmaires that he wouldn't seek capital punishment, because, as he told me later, "I didn't have aggravating circumstances like prior conviction, the victim being a child or the crime being particularly heinous and the like. As he always does with victims' families, he explained to the Grosmaires the details of the criminal-justice process, including the little-advertised fact that the state attorney has broad discretion to depart from the state's mandatory sentences. As the repr...

Peel's Principles, Police

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/16/nyregion/sir-robert-peels-nine-principles-of-policing.html : It is of fundamental importance to spread this principle: good police has to mean rate of crime zero or close to zero. Totally true!

Community Policing: Who is to Be Blamed for Poor Results?

It seems that (Wilson & Kelling 1982) prove that even though people feel safer with the foot patrol system, the results in practice, in terms of crime rate, are the same. A fundamental quote from their text is “ citizens complain to the police chief, but he explains that his department is low on personnel and that the courts do not punish petty or first-time offenders. To the residents, the police who arrive in squad cars are either ineffective or uncaring: to the police, the residents are animals who deserve each  other. The citizens may soon stop calling the police, because "they can't do anything.” That points at community policing being even worse, since the community then depends on the police, the police will be notified when something happens, and, according to the above extract, they don’t care. That is the feeling that I myself have since 2001: both in Brazil and in Australia the police does not care about what they should and does very little...

Social Organisation as Deterrence

In response to another professor, I recently wrote the text below, which I think may help people think better in terms of crime deterrence. Another author wrote: “Social disorganisation theory has its history dating back to the early twentieth Century. It is based on the belief that crime and delinquency are associated with the absence or presence of communal institutions where communal institutions can refer to schools, churches or even local governments. In the theory, a community is considered organised when members belong or perform activities coordinated by central and representative figure within the community such as a local official or priest. By participating in these activities, communities create relationships between each other and consequently build a sense of communality. The latter serves to reinforce cohesion in society and curbs crimes or delinquency.”  (Article Nexus, 2018) Gangster (2016) talks about how caring is calling each gang member to check on thing...
