implementation of government
policy and also an academic
discipline that studies this
implementation and
prepares civil servants for
working in the public service. In
1947 Paul H. Appleby defined
public administration as
"public leadership of public
affairs directly responsible for
executive action". In a
democracy, it has to do with
such leadership and executive
action in terms that respect and
contribute to the dignity, the
worth, and the potentials of the
citizen. Public administration is
the single most important
aspect of bureaucracies across
the world; be it a democratic,
socialist or a capitalist state,
more so in a socialist state, as
all aspects of the citizen life are
influenced and decided by the
government. In my opinion The
various important roles that
public administration plays, the
most important one are
implementing laws and policies
and acting as their
adjudicators. It is therefore
important that the reader
approaches the study of public
administration with an open
mind and without prejudices to
appreciate the full nature, role,
importance and relevance of
the bureaucracy.
Al Capone
Think "mobster" and Al Capone
still springs to mind. That's how
mythologised the kingpin of
Chicago crime has become since
his 1920s heyday. Lording it over
an empire that took in
bootlegging, prostitution and
gambling, he was allegedly
connected with the bloody St
Valentine's Day Massacre, in
which members of a rival gang
were mowed down by machine
guns. Capone eventually served
time in Alcatraz, for tax evasion
of all things, before dying from
syphilis.
The Zodiac Killer
To this day, nobody knows who
the Zodiac Killer was. And that
only adds to the dark mystique
that swirls around the man who
terrorised California in the 60s
and 70s. His crimes included
gunning down couples in parked
cars, killing a cabbie, and
stabbing a couple who were
basking in a park in broad
daylight. He also sent complex
coded messages to the media,
most of which have still not been
deciphered. He also made a mark
in Hollywood, inspiring the villain
Scorpio in Dirty Harry.
Jeffrey Dahmer
Police couldn't quite believe their
eyes when they finally cottoned
on to what Jeffrey Dahmer was
up to. Inside the man's pad they
found severed heads in the
fridge, a human torso in the
freezer, and bags of organs
stuffed further back in the ice.
This was the grisly handiwork of
one of America's most gruesome
serial killers, who liked to kiss
and chat to the chopped off
heads of his victims while
lovingly preserving their
skeletons as trophies. Dahmer
was eventually killed in prison.
Not many people mourned.
Charles Manson
Charles Manson may have been a
wild-eyed drifter with a murky
background, but such was his
charisma that he created a
devoted 1960s commune that
was like the dark flipside to the
hippy movement. Convinced that
the songs of the Beatles
predicted a race war between
whites and blacks, he tried to
move things along by ordering
savage murders – including the
massacre of movie star Sharon
Tate and several friends unlucky
enough to be staying at her
house that night. Manson
remains an emblem of evil in the
annals of American crime.
