A minimum of 1,000 words(total assignment) and threescholarly sources. The references does not count towards the word count!!

If you ONLY do the minimum word count, then it is considered “average” work, which is a “C”; therefore, it is best to make sure you cover the topics well and not just do enough to meet the minimum number of words.

Question 1

Evidence exists that random police patrol has little or no effect upon crime. This might imply that merely driving around a jurisdiction is a waste of resources. What are the arguments counter to this position?

Question 4.

It is suggested that the current status of police research parallels the status of research in chemistry prior to Mendeleev’s decoding of the Periodic Table of the Elements. Explain.
