Is diversity important in policing? Explain why or why not? 100 words
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Diversity is important in policing. The police officers are always in close contact with ordinary people. People from any town come from diverse ethnic groups ,so if the police force recruits people from different ethnic groups, policing may become more effective. First, the police may become more reliable since ordinary people will see that their peers are part of the force. For example, a Pakistani police officer may be more reliable than an English police officer for a  person from Pakistan. Secondly, communication between the police officers and people from town may be more fluent. If an " Indian" police officer needs information , the Indian people will be more open to give it to him / her. Diversity in policing will make the bonds between the police and ordinary people stronger and more effective.

The Bat Poet
Vlada [557]

The poem creates a scary, shivery feeling because the bat and the chipmunk are afraid of the owl. I know this because in the story it said, ““It’s terrible, just terrible! Is there really something like that at night?”

The bat said: “If it weren’t for that hole in the oak he’d have got me.”

<span>The chipmunk said in a determined voice: “I’m going to bed earlier. Sometimes when there’re lots of nuts I stay out till it’s pretty dark; but believe me, I’m never going to again.”” The bat and the chipmunk were explaining their encounter with the owl. This is how it explains that they are afraid of the owl. </span>
