Case study of Carjacking

Carjacking is the theft of a motor vehicle from another person by force, violence, or intimidation. Although often viewed as a hybrid offense. This is one of the problem/crime of our country. Defining carjacking in this way is problematic because it hinders systematic understanding of the prevalence, distribution, and nature of the offense. Although some collect statewide carjacking data each year, most data about carjacking come from victimization surveys and offender interviews.

As in other types of robbery, weapon use is inherent in carjacking. The most common weapon was a firearm. Those most vulnerable to carjacking tend to be male living in urban areas. The carjackers themselves are much like their victims: male, half of carjacking involve two or more assailants, and interviews with offenders indicate that carjacking is a crime of opportunism and spontaneity rather than carefully planned, probably due to the mobility of their targets. This also includes the motive, opportunity, and instrumentality or the so called MIO.

In the wake of these events, media reports described carjacking as a national epidemic brought on by a new type of auto thief whose misdeeds resembled a symbolic attack on the fabric of people's lives.

CHANGE ,IT STARTS W/ ME!!!

" Ako ang simula ng pagbabago."

Everything in this world are only temporary, there is no permanent.

Change is the only constant thing in the world. Sometimes, it's unexpected and unpredictable, there are a lot of things we want to change, our community, our nation, and the world we live in. But change should begin with the smallest yet the hardest to start with, one's self.

The visions of a better world may seem difficult but by taking things step by step would ease up journey in fulfilling our dreams. And the first step starts with me. We must learn to sacrifice. Do the right thing.

GO! GO! GO!

ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

What Christmas means to me - or what it should mean.

Christmas is about love. Caring about another over yourself, spending the time to do the little things to make the holiday special for loved ones. Christmas is also about togetherness. Being with the people you love, laughing, sharing a meal, sharing happy memories. Christmas is about giving. Doing things for others. One of the most popular traditions on Christmas is exchanging gifts on Christmas eve or Christmas morning. Everyone loves receiving gifts on Christmas. But, as teenagers we understand the significance of giving more than receiving and plan way ahead to get something thoughtful for our near and dear ones.

The meaning of Christmas is what you make it. Using the time to be with each other, making Christ the centre of your Christmas celebrations and to give attention instead of presents is more important. Apart from being a celebration of Jesus Christ, Christmas is a time of peace and love. Christmas has not lost its meaning, we have lost it. The meaning is still there for those who seek it.

NEW YEAR, NEW LIFE

NEW YEAR, NEW LIFE

A New Year resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a personal goal, project, or the reforming of a habit. This lifestyle change is generally interpreted as advantageous. This is generally a goal someone sets out to accomplish in the coming year. A key element to a New Years Resolution that sets it apart from other resolutions is that it is made in anticipation of the New Year, and new beginnings.

Every person has the right to change like me.I want to improve my health, lose weight, exercise more, save money ,improve my grades, I want to learn something new. Improve myself to become more organized, reduce stress, be less grumpy, manage time, perhaps watch less television. Volunteer to help other people. And also i want to become more mature.

Nobody's perfect! The beginning of a new year seems like a good time to think about changing. That's why people make resolutions in January. And now is the time for us to change our bad attitudes.
