Researching a lot about my home town really opened my eyes as to what's going on there, and when it all started. From the books, to the online article searches and newspapers, it really brought new resources to my attention that I can use. Scholarly vs. Non-Scholarly and the way we can search on Google in get good information was something new to me.
Most of the things that were presented to me in this class I already knew.

In this article, Camden police made thirteen arrests on different men from all over South Camden and Cherry Hill, New Jersey. All these arrest for made from allegations of Drug Trafficking and Gang Related violence. Allegedly these men were dealing large quantities of cocaine, heroin and PCP all for a little more than a year and finally the police and enough evidence to bring them down. All of this crime is outrageous and people still don't realize who it is effecting our Youth and us as human beings.
