Individuals using these tabulations are cautioned against drawing conclusions by making direct comparisons between cities due to the existence of numerous factors which affect the amount and type of crime from place to place. Some of these factors are listed in this report. More valid use can be made of these figures by determining deviations from state averages and through comparisons with averages for cities in similar population groups. It is important to remember that crime is a social problem and, therefore, a concern of the entire community. The efforts of law enforcement are limited to factors within its control.

  • Crime, Justice, and Order in the North Carolina Piedmont, 1760-1806
    STROUD, JASON MICHAEL, Ph.D. Crime, Justice, and Order in the North Carolina Piedmont, 1760-1806. (2019) Directed by Dr. Greg O’Brien. 345 pp. This dissertation examines crime and disorder in the North Carolina Piedmont between 1760 and 1806, exploring the ways that criminal justice and the law were enforced in the region. It is rooted in an analysis of the colonial and state Superior Court records from Salisbury and Hillsborough and traces the process by which authorities— first the colonial government and then the revolutionary state—attempted to establish and maintain order in the region. This most basic function of criminal justice necessarily involved the identification of individuals and groups of people as criminals by the state. I argue that understanding this legal and juridical process, which marked many of the people of the region as unfit subjects and citizens, helps provide a framework for understanding the turmoil and disorder that characterized the Revolutionary era in the region. As the North Carolina government sought to assert its legitimacy through imposing order, it marked presumptively disorderly men and women including horse thieves, land squatters, “Regulators,” Loyalists, and, significantly, the enslaved, as outlaws. Faced with alienation from legal and political legitimacy, these people resisted, articulating in the process a different conception of justice, one rooted in the social, political, and cultural realities of the region. This dissertation, then, traces a pattern of conflict and turmoil that reveals very different, and at times diametrically opposed, understandings of justice between governing elites and local men and women in the Piedmont. Moreover, by focusing on the interrelated issues of criminality, justice, and order, this work attempts to deepen scholarly understanding of the Revolution in the North Carolina backcountry, in particular the ways it affected the relationship between individuals and the state.

  • 2011 Burke County Community Health Assessment Volume I (PDF)
    Burke County Community Health Assessment BURKE COUNTY 2011 COMMUNITY HEATLH ASSESSMENT VOLUME I - 1 - - 1 -Page 1 of 155 Burke County Community Health Assessment Narrative In Burke County a coalition of community partners, Healthy Burke, strives to promote better health for all residents throughout the community. This coalition plus an extended group of community partners and agencies provided assistance with collecting resources and data for the 2011 Community Health Assessment. Together the coalition developed a multi-phase plan for conducting the assessment. The team gathered secondary data from online resources, state and federal level data systems, local county agencies and the Western Piedmont Council of Governments. Second phase gathered primary data from surveys developed and distributed in paper form and online survey managed by Survey Monkey. The team distributed paper surveys and the online link to numerous agencies throughout the county. Third phase included analyzing, detailing and documenting all the data into the final Community Health Assessment report. The next phases will be taking place over the next several months when the team will determine action plans and task forces and strategies to best address the priorities (red flags) found during the assessment period. The last and important phases will be to present this wealth of information back to the stakeholders; the community. A community forum will be held in the Spring of 2012 to present the information and secure manpower and resources to implement successful strategies to improve the health and well being of the entire community. During the data analysis, several things became very clear that the shift in Burke County’s population will be driving a change in some priorities due to the increase of the older adults.
