- The full-text version of this article can be accessed through the SAGE Journals Online database in the University of Arizona Global Campus Library. This article details the processes involved in the development of an evaluation of a police response policy pertaining to open-air drug markets. The article is particularly noteworthy as it is a demonstration of how an evaluation is developed amidst a host of real-world constraints. Students will find it useful as a guide demonstrating how evaluation researchers use topic knowledge and insight to identify proper methods to conduct scientific inquiry in a very messy social and political arena. This article will assist you in the completion of this week’s discussion posts.

Have you been aware of the privileges in your life as you were growing up? Why or why not?
This week you are exploring what it means to have privilege in all aspects of life, whether it be that
you are able to enroll in school and take this course, or that you are able to walk, type, see, taste, or
purchase/have access to groceries. Having privilege also means that you have power of some sort.
Even having access to goods and services can be seen as a privilege. Discrimination can accompany
power and privilege as those who have power and privilege may not be consciously aware of how
they benefit from it.

First, Chapter 4 of The Ecology of Diversity (Kahn, 2015) has a “Reflections on Diversity” section near
the end entitled, “Membership in Dominant and Subordinate Groups.” Follow the instructions
provided in the chapter and complete the chart considering who are you are and what relationships
you have with each type of group.
Second, write at least three paragraphs (300 words) addressing the following questions:

By how much does the population increase between the 8th and the 13th years?
Problem 1.
Coal gas is produced at a gasworks. Pollutants in the gas are removed by scrubbers, which become less and less efficient as time goes on. The following measurements, made at the start of each month, show the rate at which pollutants are escaping (in tons/month) in the gas:
Time (months)0123456Rate (tons/month)36915223038
A. Make an overestimate and an underestimate of the total quantity of pollutants that escape during the first month.
overestimate =
functionsequation editor tons
underestimate = functionsequation editor tons
B. Make an overestimate and an underestimate of the total quantity of pollutants that escape for the whole six months for which we have data.
overestimate =
