In Bangladesh, increasing urban slum populations are mainly migrating from rural poorest classes and facing many social problems including healthcare. Even some of these poor cannot manage any access to the available healthcare facilities. They also have very limited access to other basic civic services like education, water, electricity, sanitation etc. In the urban areas there are both public and private health services however, these are not uniformly distributed or not even adequate. The slum dwellers also have rather a poor knowledge about any health facilities. Most of them even do not have any basic knowledge about simple health issues like boiling drinking water, use of soap before and after meal etc. Sometimes even traditional social norms and values act as a barrier against access to the modern healthcare facilities. To change attitude and accessibility in the healthcare facilities three major actions such as increase literacy rate, establish low price healthcare centres and help the dwellers to increase their earning are urgently needed. The field study interested the area of Agrabad Bastuhara colony, Chittagong, Bangladesh

Contemporary criminological works continue to accept the overrepresentation of African Americans as residents of inner-cities and 'subjects' of criminological studies as a natural and unproblematic sociological condition. The study examines the common link that bind the experience of African Americans and Chinese Americans at the turn of 19th century: white supremacist ideology. By providing a historically sensitive account of their victimization and the resultant residential patterns, the Authors invert the causal ordering of crime and delinquency. That is, rather than conceptualizing crimes as effects of social disorganization, they define social disorganization characteristic of urban ghettoes as effects of white supremacist crimes. The implications for criminological theory are then discussed
