An initiative petition proposing changes to the Columbus City Council could require a special election on August 2nd at an estimated cost of $1 million to taxpayers. The petition from the group Represent Columbus wants to change the council from 7 at-large members to 13 total members including 10 from wards. The group submitted over 38,000 signatures to the Franklin County Board of Elections last week. In other news, a 17-year-old witness again identified Jordyn Wade as a participant in a South Linden basement mass shooting where she played dead to survive.
This document summarizes key points from Chapter 12 of the textbook "Social Problems, 13e" which discusses crime and justice. It covers three main learning objectives: 1) defining crime and examining crime rates and demographics, 2) how the US justice system is biased against certain groups, and 3) potential solutions to reduce crime like investing in prevention rather than incarceration. Key topics include how crime is defined, crime statistics, those most likely to be arrested, an unjust system with discriminatory laws/policing, high incarceration rates, and breaking the "cradle to prison pipeline".
As more immigrants arrived in American cities in the late 19th century, urban populations skyrocketed. This posed major challenges for city governments, including providing adequate housing, transportation, water, sanitation, crime prevention, and fire protection for the growing populations. Common problems included overcrowded tenement housing, lack of indoor plumbing and clean water, piles of horse manure in the streets, increased crime rates, and destructive fires due to buildings being close together and made of wood. Cities struggled to establish effective police, fire, and sanitation services to address the problems that arose from rapid urban growth and industrialization.
As more immigrants arrived in American cities in the late 19th century, urban populations skyrocketed. This posed major challenges for city governments, including providing adequate housing, transportation, water, sanitation, crime prevention, and fire protection for the growing numbers of residents. Common problems included overcrowded tenement housing, lack of indoor plumbing and safe drinking water, piles of horse manure in the streets, increased crime rates, and destructive fires due to buildings being close together and made of wood. By the early 20th century, most large cities had begun establishing police forces and paid fire departments to help address some of these urgent urban issues.
This document appears to be a quiz about key terms and events from the Progressive Era in the United States. It asks multiple choice questions about reformers, immigrants, urbanization, political reforms like the recall and initiative, and the 19th amendment granting women's suffrage. The quiz takes the form of a "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" game showing potential prize amounts for correctly answering questions.
This document discusses the differences between crime and deviance. It defines crime as an illegal act that is punishable by law, while deviance refers to behaviors, beliefs, or characteristics that violate social norms and elicit negative reactions. The document provides examples of things that are crimes, things that are deviant but not criminal, and things that are criminal but not necessarily deviant. It also discusses how perceptions of deviance can change over time and vary across cultures.

Erin Brockovich is an environmental activist known for a significant legal case against Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). She helped bring a lawsuit on behalf of residents of Hinkley, California whose drinking water was contaminated with hexavalent chromium from PG&E's operations. The contamination caused numerous health issues in the community. The case resulted in a $333 million settlement, the largest direct-action lawsuit settlement in U.S. history at that time. Brockovich continues to advocate for communities affected by pollution and educate about the dangers of hexavalent chromium.

- A new report claims that in 2008, former President Bill Clinton said of Barack Obama "A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags" in an attempt to convince Ted Kennedy to endorse Hillary Clinton over Obama for the Democratic nomination.
- The article also reports that Clinton has privately called Obama "incompetent" and "an amateur" who is unqualified to be president.
- Meanwhile, Obama kicked off his campaign tour leading to the Democratic National Convention, criticizing Republicans for focusing on him rather than issues important to voters in their convention.

It announces a student hackathon competition focused on app development taking place in March, offers $2 off a lunch at Deli Boys restaurant with a coupon, and provides information on materials to educate about alternatives to panhandling. It also includes a contest to win tickets to a play and lists additional arts and entertainment events happening in February.

The document discusses Barack Obama's background growing up with a single mother and being named Obama, suggesting he had to have a lot of hope. It references Obama's campaign message of uniting not just red or blue states but the United States, and portraying small donors as influential. It asks if a candidate can be so inspiring that Republicans forget their party and presents January 20, 2009 as the day the country will be returned to its rightful owners, the people. It concludes that while an inspiring president is not vital, it is a good place to start after the last 8 years.
- Joel Kotkin is optimistic about America's future population growth, predicting the country will have 400 million people by mid-21st century. This growth will help solve housing crisis issues and create jobs through new home construction.
- Parag Khanna sees America, Europe, and China as the three leading world powers that are interconnected but also in competition. He examines rising "second world" countries and believes all nations will be in competition by mid-21st century.
- The two analysts disagree on threats from other nations - Kotkin is less concerned while Khanna sees decreasing populations in countries like China as economic threats.
There have been 17 suicides of young people in Bridgend, Wales since the beginning of 2007, with 7 believed to be linked. The South Wales coroner was alarmed that these 7 victims knew each other but left no notes. Several of the victims had posted online tributes to each other on social media sites like Bebo before taking their own lives. Police are investigating whether these suicides are linked and are concerned about the possibility of an "internet suicide cult" influencing young people in the area through social media to seek "virtual immortality" online after death.
Gloria Chin owns a crowded apartment building in Boston's Chinatown that is home to many low-income families. The neighborhood is facing gentrification as rising maintenance costs force landlords to increase rents, displacing long-time residents who can no longer afford to live there. Chin spent $260,000 on repairs and upgrades to the building in the last three years. While a 4% rent increase of $60-100 per month seemed reasonable to housing activists, it is still difficult for families making an average of $14,000 per year to afford. The costs of regulations and upkeep leave landlords with no choice but to pass higher rents onto tenants. Unless more affordable housing is created, gentrification will continue to transform

Beer fans got a legislative
two-fer from the Statehouse
on Wednesday.
A bill allowing North
Market customers to not
only buy alcohol, but also
drink it while visiting ven-
dors or eating a meal there,
got final House passage
Wednesday. And, thanks to
a Senate amendment, the
bill also eliminates Ohios
12 percent limit on alcohol
in beer, opening the states
craft brewery market to new
options.
Ohios 12 percent limit
alcohol in beer was set in
2002, when craft breweries
were scarce. Today, roughly
2,500 Ohioans work at
about 190 craft breweries, a
number that has tripled since
2012.
