Abstract:
Unemployment related factors discussed were housing insecurity and transportation struggles. Such factors, coupled with low wage jobs, can create a cycle of poverty hard to escape and easy to perpetuate. Such factors also ranked Charlotte on the bottom of a Harvard University-sponsored economic mobility study. On the upside to this downward spiral were individuals such as Traletta Banks, an instructor showing others how to break the cycle with options such as creating career pathways. Also part of the effort was Economic Mobility Initiative, a nonprofit helping individuals on the road to self-sufficiency overcome roadblocks such as benefits cliff.

Abstract:
For effective prosecution and sentencing of criminal cases, there must be an efficient way to retrieve records on criminal history. Until recently, because of problems with the way criminal histories were reported, North Carolina's criminal justice community probably was more likely to find a defendant's traffic record than to find a record of any felonies. Steps have been taken to correct these inadequacies and to make other improvements in the recordation system. Wilkie examines the problems and possible solutions in maintaining reliable criminal history records.
