Your initial posting will have two parts. For Part 1, you must write at least one paragraph describing and explaining the three components of Hamilton’s Financial Plan. What were the three elements Hamilton outlined? What was their purpose? Why did Hamilton think they were essential to the survival of the republic? For Part 2, you will be assigned either the Federalist or Democratic-Republican perspective on Hamilton’s proposed changes. As we have seen in our readings, not everyone agreed with Hamilton on the necessity of the economic changes proposed in his Financial Plan. For the purposes of this part, we will divide the class roughly in half. Students will write part 2 from a Federalist perspective. Why did the Federalists support the Financial Plan? Your main post should be a minimum of (3) 6-8 sentence paragraphs. Remember, you must reference the source and include specific examples.

In the 1980s, when gang-related violence was on the rise, law enforcement agencies began to collect data on gang members. This data was eventually transferred into electronic gang databases, many of which are still maintained today. Today’s gang databases include information about gangs, such as their location, symbols, and alliances and rivalries, and information about actual or suspected gang members, such as their names, tattoos, vehicles, and areas they frequent. Gang databases help law enforcement solve gang-related crimes more quickly and target members that may benefit from deterrence programs. Despite the benefits of gang databases, many cities are moving toward eliminating them all together. In this Discussion, you explore how law enforcement officers identify gang members, the pros and cons of using gang databases, and whether such databases should continue to be used. To prepare: Determine whether your local law enforcement agency uses a gang database. If you do not work at the agency, you may find this information on the Internet or by calling the agency to ask. ( HARRISBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT)      Post a response that addresses the following: How do your local law enforcement officers identify potential gang members? (HARRISBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT) Does law enforcement in your community rely on a gang database? What are the pros and cons of using a gang database? Should gang databases continue to be used to combat gang-related activities? Why or why not? REFERENCES        Howell, J. C., & Griffiths, E. (2018). Gangs in America’s communities (3rd ed.).
