Rural Policing in the Midwest An Examination of Dissimilar Regions and Drug Offending
The purpose of this study is to examine criminal activity in rural America, particularly drugrelated activity, by analyzing trends in offending for two rural regions in the Midwest. This study has three main objectives. First, the authors intend to discover how many defendants in these rural areas are drug-related offenders. Second, they propose to discover differential offending, with an emphasis on drug offending, based on location of each area (one more than 300 miles from any major metropolitan city and one within 50 miles of Kansas City, Missouri). Third, the article will find the overall trends of offending in each of the rural regions.
This article addresses the question regarding the ability of the Andean Multinational Enterprises for fostering intraregional inward investment within the pale of the Andean Community of Nations. The deficiencies in the philosophy behind the regime, inspired by the Regional Industrialisation Programme Model (RIPM), the insufficiency of the benefits, and the rigor of the requirements have conduced to an impairment of the regional scheme. This paper explores these problems studying the main characteristics of the transnational Andean corporations, assessing the role of the RIPM in the decay of the regime, and proposing a reform that moulds a new policy of business facilitation for regional investors.
