Economic conditions have vital roles to play in people's experience and perceptions of a place while socioeconomic status equally affects almost all aspects of human life, including security of lives and property. The book:”Vision 20: 2020 and the menace of vandalism” is a policy guide and direction signaling material. It pictures this global projection which the late President Umar Musa Yar'adua highlighted in his agenda as a dream towards attaining the nation's golden age. The book was equally written to propel the Nigerian government as well as her economic handlers to work towards the nation’s emergence as one of the 20 most economically viable nations of the World. Clearly, the book centers around the dream of development for the Nigerian economy. It analyzes the variables for and, the debacles against the attainment of the stated economic vision. More precisely, the book was written to re-echo the prophesy of economic prosperity for Nigeria as predicted by the World Bank when the country showed signs of possibilities around mid 2000s. The administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo (rtd) had successfully paid off one of the economic ravaging loans to Paris Club, the creditor. This accomplishment repositioned Nigeria for greatness with a vision to rank among the top 20 economies around the world in 2020. This tall expectation informed the need for holistic review of the nation’s internal potentials and the threats of saboteur which range from growing insecurity to wanton vandalism of infrastructures, including crude-oil pipelines. Crude-oil accounts for approximately 65% of the nation’s revenue. This reality directly ties the fate of the envisioned economic attainment to the effective protection of this sector. Fulfillment of responsibility becomes imperative for Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps in conquering the war of vandalism to set Nigeria on the path of fulfilling global economic prediction. The book advanced other measures to attaining economic stability in Nigeria. Well structured policies, strong political will and financial discipline were among other suggested measures.

This report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice -- established by President Lyndon Johnson on July 23, 1965 -- addresses the causes of crime and delinquency and recommends how to prevent crime and delinquency and improve law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice. In developing its findings and recommendations, the Commission held three national conferences, conducted five national surveys, held hundreds of meetings, and interviewed tens of thousands of individuals. Separate chapters of this report discuss crime in America, juvenile delinquency, the police, the courts, corrections, organized crime, narcotics and drug abuse, drunkenness offenses, gun control, science and technology, and research as an instrument for reform. Significant data were generated by the Commission's National Survey of Criminal Victims, the first of its kind conducted on such a scope. The survey found that not only do Americans experience far more crime than they report to the police, but they talk about crime and the reports of crime engender such fear among citizens that the basic quality of life of many Americans has eroded. The core conclusion of the Commission, however, is that a significant reduction in crime can be achieved if the Commission's recommendations (some 200) are implemented. The recommendations call for a cooperative attack on crime by the Federal Government, the States, the counties, the cities, civic organizations, religious institutions, business groups, and individual citizens. They propose basic changes in the operations of police, schools, prosecutors, employment agencies, defenders, social workers, prisons, housing authorities, and probation and parole officers.

With over a million copies sold, Economics in One Lesson is an essential guide to the basics of economic theory. A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, Hazlitt defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. Considered among the leading economic thinkers of the “Austrian School,” which includes Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich (F.A.) Hayek, and others, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), was a libertarian philosopher, an economist, and a journalist. He was the founding vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson, his seminal work, in 1946. Concise and instructive, it is also deceptively prescient and far-reaching in its efforts to dissemble economic fallacies that are so prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy. Economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which occurred more than 50 years after the initial publication of Economics in One Lesson. Hazlitt’s focus on non-governmental solutions, strong — and strongly reasoned — anti-deficit position, and general emphasis on free markets, economic liberty of individuals, and the dangers of government intervention make Economics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.

Freedom in the World, the Freedom House flagship survey whose findings have been published annually since 1972, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. The survey ratings and narrative reports on 194 countries and 14 territories are used by policymakers, the media, international corporations, civic activists, and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.
