By 1800 there were only 2 police forces in the whole of Britain, both of which were in London.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees announced, “Somalia's drought and refugee crisis is the most severe humanitarian emergency in the world, (UNHCR, 2011). Although estimates vary, about 800,000 people have left Somalia seeking asylum. Most now reside in refugee camps in bordering Kenya and Ethiopia. Many trek for days with little or food to seek safety and assistance in refugee camps only to find conditions that are no better. Host nations and humanitarian organizations cannot support
The Refugee Crisis is Everyone’s Crisis The United States admitted approximately 85,000 refugees in 2016. (Willingham) This, however, pales in comparison to the 65.3 million people forcibly displaced worldwide. (UNCHR) The refugee crisis the United States faces today is extremely controversial.

The Government uses nationalism and assimilation to maintain their power to shape the culture and normality of Australian society.
