Bought a dining table from House & Haven in August 2008, for approx R30K, with a 20 year warranty from sales people who can talk the talk, however just over 2.5 years later the table has been repaired 3-4 times for various reasons, I was sold a 'solid mahogany table' where if a plastic feeding spoon knocks the surface top it DENTS the wood and further on, placing as coffee mug on the tablecloth will burn right through the wood. I was told these were faults caused by myself, needless to say I didnt get told i'm buying an... read full review »

About a year ago, Car Max advertised online a 2003 Land Rover for $13, 000. My wife was interested in the vehicle and we went to check it out, by the time we arrived it began to storm and we decided to talk to the sales man about the vehicle, of course we were told that another couple was interested in the Land Rover and they were supposed to arrive in approximately 2 hours. I advised the sales man I would like to test drive the vehicle but with the storm, I wanted to wait until it passed. My wife showed the sales man the online amount for... read full review »

The coach from JHB to DBN supposed to leave at 19h45 from Midrand depot, only arrived in Midrand at 21h00. I made numerous calls to their offices where their call center staff kept cutting off the calls when recieved. No notification sent to commuters & a total lack of service. Then, the coach collects Midrand commuters, goes to Park station, drops them off, to stand in a line outside in the cold. My Mom (56Yrs), travelling with 2 children below 15yrs, had to take her bags off the 1st coach herself & go stand in the line. No one... read full review »

In Feb 2010 I contacted P. Golding re a house that I wished to rent out from 1st May '10. I received an e-mail from them on 8 March telling me that they had a firm offer for a tennant who was willing to sign a 12 month lease but they wanted the house from 1st April. They were prepared to sign a contract immediately & pay the deposit on 10 March. My current tennant was only due to leave end April but after discussing with them agreed to leave earlier. The contract was signed by both parties (lessor and lessee) and I assumed all was in... read full review »

I would like to complain about the attitudes in the Victoria's Secret Tuttle Mall store. I entered the store on Thursday, February 4, 2011. I was shopping for my new sister-in-law. I wanted privacy to shop and requested no assistance. I was "hounded" 5 times while shopping there which disturbed me. I ended up leaving store to go somewhere else because of the continued disturbance from associates. To the Victoria's Secret Stores in Dublin, Ohio and all stores: PLEASE LEAVE CUSTOMERS ALONE IF THEY WISH TO SHOP... read full review »

I took my car into Maurice's for a MINOR problem. Turns out that 4 of my 6 fuel injectors were leaking, so the mechanic advised that I just replace all 6. Knowing a little about vehicles, I had asked if they could just replace the seals, and was told no. They ended up ordering rebuilt injectors; a week later, they arrived. In between that time, while they still had my car, he called and informed me that the water pump was severely leaking. He asked if I noticed that i've had to put anti-freeze in it lately. I said, "No... read full review »

The media portrayal of policing is juxtaposed with both positive and negative representations. As a result, a complex relationship exists between media consumption and public attitudes towards the police. The purpose of this study was to test the impact that media consumption had on attitudes toward police misconduct and discrimination. The findings revealed that heavy consumers of network news were more likely to believe that police misconduct was a frequent event. This was especially true for minority respondents. Similarly, minority... read full review »

Legislative control Legislators could reevaluate laws that create the potential for corruption. Such a reassessment would be based on the recognition that a major portion of police corruption is an outgrowth of laws that criminalize drug use, prostitution, and gambling. Any serious attempt to fight police corruption must wrestle with the decriminalization issue. Decriminalization involves removing the criminal label from victimless crimes by legalizing and regulating them. Decriminalization would contribute significantly to improving the... read full review »

Rooting out police corruption When police controls break down and a scandal occurs, special investigating commissions can mobilize public opinion and rally public support for anticorruption and antiviolence reforms. Commissions get information from the police department, pinpoint where the internal controls of the police have failed, and recommend changes in policy. The problem with these commissions is that they usually disappear after finishing their reports. Paul Chevigny asserts that continuing independent auditors would be more... read full review »

Police Corruption Police corruption is the misuse of police authority for personal gain.

The costs of police corruption Police corruption carries high costs. First, a corrupt act is a crime. Second, police corruption detracts from the integrity of the police and tarnishes the public image of law enforcement. Third, corruption protects other criminal activity such... read full review »

How the Media Work In the United States, the media are large businesses that are privately owned. Some television stations and newspapers (particularly smaller ones) are owned locally by families or by groups of investors. Many of the biggest stations and newspapers, however, are owned by large media corporations, which in turn, are often subsidiaries of enormous conglomerates. The concentration of ownership has been increasing. In 1981, 46 corporations controlled more than half the circulation and revenues of daily... read full review »

Ordered 4 sets of batteries 12/2010 for cordless phones in home. Good price, specs exceeded OEM batteries, fast delivery. Batteries arrived with no markings. I really don't know what I received. Battery cord longer, difficult to fit into phone. Now, less than 2 months later, battery life is short, need frequent recharging. Consider my experience when comparing their batteries. If they sell brand name, compare prices and order these instead. I didn't see all of the complaints until I wrote this; another retailer may be the best choice. read full review »

Effects of the Media on Politics Scholars once believed that the mass media have only a minimal effect on politics, but that view is now discredited. The media do make a difference. They have an impact on public opinion and on policymaking in a number of different ways. Several studies, for example, have demonstrated that the media play an important role in setting the policy agenda. The topics that get the most coverage in the media are the same ones that most people say are the "most important problems" facing the country... read full review »

I have a 5 year old tractor which has a plow to remove the snow. The engine transaxle belt broke. I went to sears in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. to get a replacement belt for it. Since Sears closed their Service and Parts store in Fishkill, N.Y. You would think their stores would carry more parts which are important for their tractors to stay running., in my case. I had to order the belt, which will take about 7 days to get. We have had a lot of snow this year and it is snowing every 3 to 4 days. The thing that really makes me mad is that the store had... read full review »

Most websites offer a summary of your order and offer you a chance to confirm your order. Not this one. once you finish declining there last extra, the summary presents thanking you for your order. Whats worse is that the choices you make during the purchase process do not necessarily reflect in the final purchase price. I ordered 1 basket without the 2nd basket free and the knife because they want extra shipping to get the 2nd basket and the knife, but I did add 1.99 to get it in stainless steal.
