architecture would be made along the way, and how architecture is used in different ways in the economic context. Brixton Village as a precedent.

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle: Viking Portrayal The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle proves to be an invaluable source for deciphering the group of individuals most commonly referred to as ‘The Vikings’. Much of our knowledge pertaining to these Scandinavian seafarers can be attributed to this historic manuscript, which was collectively written by multiple anonymous scribes. It is important to note that this piece of literature, when compared alongside other historical sources, is not immune from certain biases

This essay will introduce two competing perspectives of policing, they are the orthodox and revisionist perspectives. This essay will then
INTRODUCTION Societies can sometimes be exposed to periods of moral panic. A condition, episode, person or group of people appears as a threat to certain societal standards and interests. This phenomenon is depicted in a stylized and stereotypical fashion and presented to the public through the moral perspective of editors, bishops, politicians, and other influential people, whose principles define the societal values. These people pronounce their diagnoses and resort to certain ways of coping (although
The role of the police service is to “uphold the law fairly and firmly; to prevent crime; to pursue and bring to justice those who break the law; to keep the Queen’s peace; to protect, help and reassure the community; and to be seen to do this with integrity, common sense and sound judgement” (Saulsbury; Newburn 1996, p.xii) to further protect the life, liberty and property of the people. The police are primarily responsible for covering activities such as catching criminals, maintaining public order

around the world and at the same time, no one’s culture is better than another. The time, where I finally understood about relative culturalism was during the three-day weekend we spent with Professor Janes. We traveled to London’s Black Community (Brixton) and London’s Indian community (Neausden). During the visits, I learned the different journeys that each of these people took to come here which included traveling from country to country and the sacrificing decisions they had to made in order to

stories emerging such as the one by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey, who recently spent some time in Brixton Prison with inmates there for a television show called Behind Bars.

Drive-by Shootings on London's Streets Close your eyes and sit back in your recliner. Let the cool breeze refresh you as you relax in your hardwood floored den and sip your English tea.

Perhaps the sophisticated languages of its inhabitants or just the aura of properness that encompasses typical visions of the great city of London. I am not writing to deny the eloquence of London, I am instead writing to challenge the notion of sophistication
