Hide Submission Folder InformationInstructions Review on forward and backward mapping. Considering the "Community-First Public Safety" case study, and the articles on different ways of approaching policy analysis, in a (longer) policy memo for the mayor, first discuss what problem the several programs/components (Reimagining Public Safety in Saint Paul) are addressing (be as specific as possible in defining the problem-and is it the same for the various stakeholders?).

Provide all this information in a detailed policy memo.
Ring Inc. and Law Enforcement: The Cost of Keeping Neighborhoods Safe By: Andrew Hoffman: In a 150-200 word initial post, discuss the case study from the perspectives of Forrester and Stone. What insight do these perspectives bring to better understanding the problems addressed (and possibly caused) and the policy alternatives as discussed in the case study. In other words, detail how might problem definition vary (by main stakeholder)? What problems might be an indirect (or even direct) result of Ring Inc., and its use as part of law enforcement. Why are these issues important? Note: the case study is from the perspective of Ring Inc. Your replies, however, should be from the point of view of local law enforcement and/or local government. If it helps, think about "locally" in terms of where you reside.
Using the Ring Inc. and Law Enforcement: The Cost of Keeping Neighborhoods Safe By: Andrew Hoffman case study; In a 1-2 page policy memo to local officials, detail the following: a local stakeholder analysis (local for you), as detailed as possible regarding use of Ring Inc by local law enforcement. There are at least 4 stakeholders to consider (hint). What public problem(s) does Ring address? What are possible externalities (both positive and negative) of a relationship of Ring Inc and local law enforcement? Based on the stakeholder analysis and discussion of possible unintended consequences of Ring, indicate what local government/law enforcement should consider concerns/issues) before entering into a relationship with Ring Inc. Provide a preliminary recommendation
Based on the articles regarding different ways of approaching policy analysis, consider the programs of the "Community-First Public Safety" case study and the "Ring Inc. and Law Enforcement" program. In a 1-2 page policy memo for local officials where you live, compare and contrast each program in terms of the public problems (and any other conditions) the programs are set up to reduce/alleviate; possible externalities of both, and possible stakeholder concerns for each alternative. You will also include a preliminary recommendation based on this information, but be sure to note that additional data/evidence should be collected.
Social Welfare is the most debatable topic in American policy politics, yet many Americans are frustrated by those who sit and collect a check every month without any desire to improve themselves. I often wonder if welfare creates more poverty and laziness. Comment. The War on Terror has created a smaller faction’s terrorist groups than in the past. I wonder if we are making any inroads in the War on Terror or are, we creating more enemies against America. Comment. please have references
