Extractions: Health Care Costs of Violence in Pennsylvania Violence captures our attention like few other human events. Accounts of murder, assault, and rape are a regular staple of newspaper and television reports; often the lead story. Violence is also a common element of mass entertainment via television or the cinema. As one result, a common perception is that the issue of violence is a growing problem in the United States. Statistics on the frequency of crime in the early 1990s found that this was true, particularly amongst juveniles. More recently, though, data indicate a decline in crime-related violence (1). Still, the impact of violence is sizeable. Over 2 million Americans are victims of violent injury each year from crime (2), and the United States ranks first in the developed world in violent death rates (3). Many professionals now believe that violence is preventable, and is no longer an inevitable experience . Several national objectives have been established in an effort to reduce the frequency and impact of violence. The objective of this report is to systematically identify the relative frequency of violence in Pennsylvania, and to estimate the health care costs related to it. This information serves two purposes; (a) it identifies the impact of violence on the h ealth care system in Pennsylvania, and (b) it provides information of relevance to the evaluation of violence prevention programs. An abstract of the findings of the report is listed below.
Village Of Belcarra - Mayor's Report - October 2002 Again, this is particularly true for Belcarra where the crime stats are very eitherthe industrial or commercial taxbase to subsidize policing costs. http://www.vob.belcarra.bc.ca/reports/vob-report-oct2002.htm
Extractions: Mayor's Report - October 2002 Transfer of Policing Costs To Small Communities Part Two In September we reported that the released a discussion paper entitled: Restructuring Police Financing In Municipalities Under 5,000 Population and Unincorporated Areas that presented two options for transferring full policing costs to small communities and unincorporated areas. The two options identified for transferring policing costs to municipalities under 5,000 and unincorporated areas are: The options differ in their cost allocation mechanism, degree of input into policing decision (governance), ability to change police service levels beyond base level, and their financial impact on affected areas. Both options assume full cost recovery ($54 million per year) for local police services provided by the Provincial Police Force in municipalities under 5,000 and unincorporated areas. Our assessment of the financial impact on Belcarra residents determined that the potential tax levy under either of the two proposed options would be unfair and unreasonable in the extreme!

Extractions: At Broken Hill there will be 42 solar dishes. South Australia's facility will have ten. The word "farms" is used because the dishes, in rows mounted on poles, resemble orchards from a distance. Officials in Canberra, the national capital, say the two are intended as prototypes for far larger farms to meet the power needs of isolated communities. The technology was developed by an Australian company, Solar Systems Limited. It involves using solar dishes, more sophisticated than panels commonly in use, which track the sun as it moves through the sky. Each dish magnifies the intensity of the sun by 500 times and focuses the rays onto high-efficiency solar cells. "Solar energy is a renewable source which doesn't produce pollution, carbon dioxide or noise," says federal environmental minister Robert Hill. What's more, it isn't "susceptible to the same price fluctuations as other energy resources." Bioengineered salmon being produced by Aqua Bounty Farms could become the Flavr Savr tomatoes of the animal kingdom. Flavr Savr tomatoes, for those with short memories, were the first bioengineered produce approved for human consumption in the U.S. Now, some time within the next year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expected to decide whether transgenic Atlantic salmon produced by the American-Canadian firm, a subsidiary of A/F Proteins, can be commercially sold in the United States. If approved, the company's transgenic salmon would become the first genetically altered animal to reach the American food chain. The salmon have received genes from arcticpout, a very cold water fish, which allow them to grow four to six times faster than their natural counterparts.

According to the stats, the most http://www.eastnorthumberland.com/news/newsMay2000/crimestats05242000.html
Extractions: The Independent Statistics released by the Northumberland OPP indicate a significant drop in crime activity, as well as policing costs, for the county in 1999. According to the stats, the most significant change was a drop of 33 per cent in the number of break, enter and thefts reported in 1999, down from 580 in 1998 to 389 last year. ATV thefts were also down by 32 per cent from 167 reported in 1998 to 150 in 1999. Figures provided by the provincial finance ministry show that Northumberland OPP was $568,676 under its estimated policing costs for 1999. "Not only was crime down significantly in 1999, but the costs in providing police service was very positively impacted upon as well," says Northumberland OPP Police Chief Bill Flindall. "We expect that these efficiencies will result in stable policing costs for 2000 in all our municipalities." Flindall feels efficiencies were achieved, in part, through the reorganization of the management and administration of the three detachments located in Campbellford, Cobourg and Brighton.

Extractions: Crime is often measured by the number of charges laid, but that depends on two things. First, incidents that could be crimes must be reported to the police, and it is well established that many incidents never come to police attention. Some women are unwilling to report sexual assault, some murders aren't reported, some thefts are considered too minor to report. Victimization studies show that there are many more victims than crimes.

Extractions: THE REVIEW HOME PAGE NOTES Some of the data has not been updated recently and thus understates conditions. In certain areas, such as anomalous deaths, we have used an extremely conservative count. It is important in considering these fatal incidents to bear in mind the following: (1) The fact that anomalies need to be investigated further carries no presumption of how a death actually occurred, only that there remain serious questions that require answers. (2) The possibility of foul play must be taken seriously in a major criminal conspiracy in which over two score individuals and firms have been convicted and over 100 witnesses have pled the Fifth Amendment or fled the country. (3) If foul play did occur in any of these cases, that fact by itself does not carry the presumption that the White House was involved. Given the footprints of organized crime, drug trade, foreign espionage, and intelligence agencies on the trail of the Clinton story, such a assumption would not be warranted.

Extractions: ohsgs home parking Gene Ferrara met with us at the November 1999 OHSGS meeting to answer our questions about safety and parking. He listened carefully to our concerns and answered all of our questions very patiently. This is not a direct transcript, but I have tried to paraphrase this exchange as accurately as possible. - mb Crime Stats: These stats can be found at the UC Police Department's home page at http://blues.fd1.uc.edu/www/pubsafety/police/Ucpd.htm [which plays the theme from Hill Street Blues by the way]. Basically, UC is required to publish crime stats for the past three years. On average, there are very few personal crimes such murder, rape, aggravated assault. There were none in 1998, and just one simple assault (a fistfight). There are also a few instances of breaking and entering (B&E in cop lingo) and auto thefts. There are significantly more thefts, which the security staff refers to as "giveaways." These usually involve a student leaving his backpack in the library and then coming back to find it missing. Because this is a public access university, you shouldn't leave your stuff out in the open where it can be taken. Despite security's best efforts, all kinds of people from the hospital and outside can get in. Wearing your ID badges can also help, but many of us on the east campus do that already. Vontz Building: The Vontz Center will be under 24-hr/day lockdown. There will be a list of authorized people, and only those people's badges will open the doors, and those badges will work 24 hours at all doors. By default, if you are moving in there, you will be on the list. If you need access, your department chair can call and have you added to the list. Someone asked if there would be a phone outside so people could call someone to let them in. They have not been asked to put one there, and they can't do it unless they are asked. He suggested that we request one from Dr. Harrison. As for medical students who may need to get into the Vontz to talk to their professors, that will have to be worked out.

Extractions: Self-Made User posted July 15, 2001 08:02 PM My stat geek nature comes out again. I found some very interesting statistics on U.S. illegal drug use. Lots of great age/education/ethnicity breakdowns further down, but I find the higher-level stats the most illuminating. Given the amount of attention (in government and the media) and money spent in the War on Drugs, how many people age 12 and over, as a number or percent of the population, do you think are regular (in the past 30 days) users of a) cocaine b) hallucinogens c) heroin? Make a mental guess before continuing. In 1999, an estimated 1.5 million Americans were current cocaine users. This represents 0.7 percent of the population age 12 and older. The estimated number of current crack users was 413,000 in 1999. In 1999, an estimated 900,000 Americans were current hallucinogen users. This represents 0.4 percent of the population age 12 and older. In 1999, an estimated 200,000 Americans were current heroin users. This represents 0.1 percent of the population age 12 and older.
