FOREWORD The urban and rural Sierra Leonean community has experienced crime of all sorts ranging from common crimes under the violent crimes such as rape, murder; property crimes such as burglary, larceny and shop lifting, Sims fraud and scam today' s cyber crime. Crime is perceived as a social behaviour that violates the law and is prone to legal action, conviction and compensation especially in civil matters. Crime is a disapproved behaviour in society. There is an overriding crusade by pressure groups to ensure that crime is contained. The idea of crime emanates with some understanding of poverty and improper social behaviour. This conception is based on proper social behaviour, wherein a community establishes general norms for conformity. The perspective of offenses against community, individual and property remain reasonably static, but the criminal context within these perspectives is divergent. Given an understanding of crime perspective is lodged by individual social response to the attitude that emerges with dynamics in cultural norms. The social lens must be a connection of existing social imagination of the community. The level of social contract is based on the context that social behaviour is approved rather than disapproved. There exist exhaustive line of curbing social disorder to ensure a protected home and a community. The situation about crime being disapproved is in the context what occurs nationally. Social disorder may be a cultural phenomenon operating whereby socially legitimate use of violence can affect the degree to which illegitimate and criminal violence takes place. Factors such as preference for violent cinema programmes; participation in socially approved violent activities, including school league sport competition; and the use of corporal punishments in schools shows district experiences, with high percentage in the metropolis. These high percentages of functional violence are correlated with high states of incarcerations. The acceptable levels of crime, then, may actually vary regionally, relying on the values individuals place on the legitimate use of social and legal punishments. Community understanding of violence may be complemented by community assistance on policing. There are districts variations in the bolster for crime conviction as a formal control of crime. In addition, support for crime and silence may be higher in rural areas than in the urban centers. The acceptance of social behaviour, then, is linked by an emphasis of legitimacy. Dysfunctional social behaviour within the boundaries of functionality does not exist in abstract but takes on similar characteristics on crime in Sierra Leone.

Document from the year 2018 in the subject Computer Science - Software, , language: English, abstract: The use of computer software as an aid in teaching is crucial in today¿s intellectual property world where technology seems to dominate every aspect of human social interaction and intellectual activities. In many parts of the world, computer has been adopted as significant tool in facilitating and fast tracking the many social activities that human beings conducted.In educational institutions people who were trained in the use of computers were employed to conduct administrative tasks involving the computation of students grades or establishing standardised database of students through the application of software that were installed into the computer hardware. The in-built characteristics of the computer system, such as its high speed and large storage capability, achieved through the invention of the integrated circuitry component called chips, accuracy and consistency in executing commands, and its unique ability to store and retrieve information, made its relevance highly enviable.Considering the significance of the computer, its use was then extended to the classroom where it was intended to aid teaching process. Since the functioning of the computer is made possible through the social interaction between the physical components called hardware and the non-physical components called software, efforts were stepped up in inventing a range of software.These softwares were then divided into two main categories, viz; system software and application software. The system software is a set of programmes that is used to control the hardware and software resources. It is the main social bridge between the hardware, software and the user. The operating system is a major type of system software without which the computer system can never function. It is the nerve center of the computer. The other type of system software is the utility software which is referred to as antivirus used primarily to track down and clean virus in the computer. The application software, on the other hand, are programmes made for performing specific tasks. The Personal Computer (PC), which is used by only one person at a time, is an integrated and compact system that features all of the elements and which is widely used today. The personal computer uses the processor and memory as two intertwined components, with the processor likened only to the brain of human be, it organises and carries out instructions that come from either the user or the software.

The incidence of unemployment and poverty portrays demeaning imagery in Africa and Asia, where the active work force wrestles with basic survival. This situation suggests that there is link between unemployment and poverty. While historical account of the two phenomena especially in West African countries such as Guinea and Liberia shows the overarching and never-ending indelible mark on the lives of many people, both experiences occur incrementally over time. However, in a country such as Sierra Leone which struggles to develop, unemployment and poverty are both high and constant.
