2012 United States Peace Index

The United States Peace Index (USPI), produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace, ranks 50 states and 61 city areas according to their peacefulness. The 2012USPI is the second annual edition of the index which measures peacefulness according to five indicators: the number of homicides, number of violent crimes, the incarceration rate, number of police employees and the availability of small arms.
According to the 2012 USPI, the U.S. is more peaceful now than at any other time over the last twenty years; since 1991 there has been a substantial and sustained reduction in direct violence across the United States.

Emotional Fuel
Giving positive feedback can be a powerful tool to reinforce a desired behavior. And it’s a skill anyone can learn. Keep these things in mind:
Do it Now. Positive feedback is most effective when it is delivered as quickly after the desired behavior as possible. 
Do it Publicly. While negative feedback should always be delivered privately, positive feedback is most effective when given in front of others.
Be Specific. Don’t give a general, “Well done, Sally.” Instead, identify the specific reason or detail that’s prompting your acknowledgment. “Great presentation in the sales meeting, Sally,” is much more effective.
Do it Often. Since positive feedback is “emotional fuel,” don’t neglect the small victories. Celebrate them too.
Be Authentic. Don’t offer empty praise. Mean it when you say it!
Giving positive feedback takes practice. Today, be on the lookout and try to catch someone doing something great. You’ll make their day… and probably yours, too.
