Enforcement Article Reviews Samples For Students

When the going gets tough, the tough get going—and going, and going until, they snap. People who work in law enforcement must be tough to carry out and overcome the demands of their jobs; but no matter how tough they are, people in law enforcement suffer from stress. Unfortunately, toughness is an adaptation to this type of job, and toughness often acts as a barrier when it comes for the “tough” to seek help for themselves.

Law enforcement is an inherently stressful profession. A law enforcement officer’s duty is to enforce the law, and to enforce it, the officer must face potentially harmful situations; where the officer is exposed to a number of foreseeable and unforeseeable situations, that the officer may or not be able to control. Potentially harmful situations are stressful on their own, but when the harm becomes real, the level of stress increases; and the officer witnesses, and sometimes experiences—and may be forced to cause—a great deal of harm.

In our society, crime is viewed as an act for which the criminal is solely responsible. In our modern justice system, the punishment meted out for criminal acts may correspond to the crime, but there are a number of significant, overlapping societal factors that cause the criminal behavior that results in punishment. The main cause of crime is the environmental background that had a powerful influence on the transition of law-abiding children to young adult offenders. Certainly, growing up in an environment of impoverished circumstances contributes to the high rate of criminal offenses in America. Race is another highly-significant factor that ...

Article Review: Ten Key Qualities of Law Enforcement Leaders

This article claims to describe ten key qualities of leaders. Some of these qualities could be combined. For example, the sections that talk about inspiration and getting dirty hands both discuss similar qualities such as responsibility. Two other sections or qualities are similar as well. These are motivation and leaders as “a special breed.” Both sections discuss leaders as motivated risk takers. Of course, ten qualities is a nice round number, better than eight, seven, or six for an article title. Maybe this title was assigned to the author and he did the best he could fulfilling the title requirements. Maybe ...
