Part I
A young Caucasian man from Miami, Florida was sentenced to 19 years in prison for grand theft auto and violence on July 10th, 2013. The 19-year old stole a BMW M3 five days earlier in a parking lot in Miami. The culprit had evaded detection for 24 hours but was later caught up with by the police when he was driving on 18th Street. He had a young female companion with him in the car at the moment. The 18 year old brunette was later identified as his girlfriend.
It was midday when two police officers on patrol ...

Abstract

All law enforcement agencies provide a valuable public service that is intended to keep every citizens safe. Law enforcers have the noble duty of maintaining peace and order within the community and to ensure that they render services that will protect and serve for the public welfare. While the police officers are endowed with the highest duty of protecting the community, conduct arrests and seizures, fight criminals and even put their own safety and life at risk in the line of duty, very few procedural and administrative protections were provided for law enforcers. In view of the foregoing, the federal ...

In “Are College Educated Police Safer?”, Kelli Goff uses a study by Joshua Correl, a University of Chicago psychology professor to examine the issue of alleged police bias against racial minorities:

Perhaps most surprisingly, the most recent studies have found that

racial bias does not influence whom officers shoot—at least not in
the way many of us assumed. The studiesfound that those in the
general public are substantially more likely to simulate shooting if
the unarmed suspect is black, when the game was tried by members
of law enforcement they were less likely to commit similar race based
errors. (Goff, 2014).
Research Question: In ...

The Supreme Court has set up guidelines to evaluate restrictions by the government on the use of public places. These public places are mainly used for communication hence speeches are a common element. One consideration made on the use of public places is on its connection to unlawful behavior like violence, trespass or chaotic conduct (Schofield n.p). The court allows the government to regulate the use of public places like streets by protestors on the grounds of interests like of protecting public order, accommodating compromising needs of potential users of the same location, and protecting uninterested onlookers (such as the ...

Riots that broke out in Hong Kong, set a difficult choice before the Communist Party of China. Violent suppression of protests in the 7.2-million-autonomy may deter investors from it and harm the economy, while mild reaction would encourage dissidents and separatists on the mainland with a 1.3 billion population.
The unrest in the heart of Hong Kong began on September 26. Organization that gathered demonstrators "Occupy Central with love and peace" was planning to organize a movement by the scenario that broke out in New York in September 2011 "Occupy Wall Street", which provides blocking important administrative buildings (Campbell).

What judgment will I deliver,

When the time comes to halt this droning debate?
After the cops have adamantly argued their case,
And the masses violently validated their case,
Are police drones really stingless?
The uniformed counsel marches into my courtroom,
The military has used drones effectively and efficiently, he announces.
UAVs will take photos of crime and traffic scenes, he pronounces.
His droning accent extols the virtues of drones in fighting the crime boom.
As the mob murmurs its disapproval, I sit, clueless.
Are police drones really stingless?

The hapless fearless officer defies the monotonous noises,

Drones are crucial in search and ...

On Monday, June 7 2010 during the meeting of Stewart Town Council some important issues concerning budgets of 2010, 2011 and 2012, the improvement of public services and security of citizens were discussed. Staff reports were made. Township manager Bea Holden reported about budgeting, rezoning of the Stewart Bottom District and building permits. Township solicitor George Gettums reported about important contracts.
The town’s budge increase was one of the questions on agenda. The 7% increase in the budget to 2 675 000$ was approved in spite of the opposite thought of the minority. The councilman William Hazard ...

CAREER PLAN

Inspired by the fact that I will be graduating in 2014, I endear to develop a career development plan which is in tandem with my educational backgrounds and capabilities. As time advances and I near graduation, a lot of questions race through my mind as to whether I have acquired all the essential skills and knowledge pertaining my course of study. So far I have gained a lot from the university and the lecturers. My major in criminology is on the right track and a further aspiration to study HRD for my masters will be possible after graduation thanks to Abu Dhabi Police ...

Reflection:

You can never expect a governmental body to police itself. Our government system in the United States has checks and balances in order for one body to not become to powerful. This is why they sometimes have congressional committees put in charge of oversight for the president’s office. The same goes for law enforcement in the country in their honesty in reporting statistics.
We get data on crime from three main instruments: The Uniform Crime Reports, The National Victimization Survey and Self Report Survey. The problem with all of these three tools comes down with they lean on ...

Since the inception of the juvenile justice system, there have been many segments of the society that have been incorporated into the management and running of the system to ensure its success. Each of these parties play a vital role, each with its own unique set of characteristics and responsibilities that make it most effective in accomplishing the given role. Some of these parties include the police, the courts and the department of justice. In this paper, I will seek to discuss and critically analyse the roles of these three parties within the juvenile justice system.

My Internship with the Abu Dhabi Police Department

The internship I took this year was at the Abu Dhabi Police Department, which is the most powerful law enforcement in the city of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. This agency is currently under the jurisdiction of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Lieutenant General Shiekh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. As an enforcement agency, Abu Dhabi Police Department promotes respect for human rights, equality and honesty.
Dealing with different sorts of crimes and law violations on a daily basis calls for the according level of professionalism, discipline, as well as technological support. And that is what ...

The breeze is a good feeling. The day will be a good one. Today will be a happy one. Day three in the jungle of Kenya is going to be great. All these are the thoughts going on in John’s mind. Since coming to Kenya for the summer vacation three days ago, nothing eventful had happened. What happened to the daring adventure with the lions? The marvels of great animals in the wild will be a good feeling. All he could see now was a tiring day filled with unnecessary riots along the streets of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. He could not ...

Advances in information technology can be beneficial to police and other government agencies in solving crime. Such devices such as Livescan machines and CCTV cameras are crucial in tracing the origin of crime to where it occurred. Livescan involve advanced finger print scanning machine located at main police custody sites for finger print scanning. Evidence obtained from scene of crime is scanned using this machine to reveal the identity of the perpetrator. The device uses a digital capture system to scan the suspect’s fingers and palms. Once the scanning results are obtained, it is transferred over a database that identifies ...

Introduction

Crime scene investigations and criminalists of late have had a lot of new advancements. These include improved forensic technologies and tools, automation, miniaturization and standardization of the whole scene. Despite all these improvements, law enforcement officers are expected to carry out proper preparation as they get ready to testify in the court. The following are some of the methods that the law enforcement officers use while preparing for testifying:

Evidence

This is the initial stage of all the hearings that do happen at the court. A law enforcement officer needs to gather all the necessary evidence that will be used during ...

Types of Police Patrols

Police patrols play a key role in accomplishing the task of the police. Patrol officers handle calls and make decisions on how best to handle situations at hand. Police personnel assigned in various methods of patrol utilize patrols in order to eliminate crime, accidents and incidences. Types of policing include foot patrol, motorcycle patrol, vehicle patrol, horse, air, marine and specialized patrols among others (Ortmeier, 2006). These patrols use different patrol techniques such as directed, random and strategic patrol techniques. Some techniques combine several types of patrols.
Planned random patrol involves unexpected and the occasional appearance of the police ...

According to the constitution, a police officer may conduct a search without a search warrant on certain circumstances. However, certain conditions must be met so that such a search is legal. In the first place, the search should be done when the police have a good reason to believe that the person has engaged in crime. This means that rumors cannot make a police to conduct a search. Secondly, a search can be done when the police believe that an individual intends to engage in a criminal activity. Even though the police are allowed to conduct a search without a warrant, there should be a good reason to do search.

Distinguish and analyze the differences between federal, state, & local law enforcement in terms of jurisdiction & authority.

There are three main judicial and legislative jurisdictions that exist in the U. S. and they are classified as federal, state, and local. All these jurisdictions have created a broad variety of law enforcement agencies. These law enforcement agencies have little uniformity among the jurisdictions towards the authority, naming and functions of these enforcement agencies. The state, local, and federal enforcement agencies currently interact with United States homeland security via fusion centers (Holmes, 2012). There may be to some extent more than seventy fusion centers that currently operate in thirty seven states. These fusion centers may be a new concept in ...

The career of being a police officer is risky yet interesting if one has the passion to pursue it for good reason. Police officers come into contact with all kinds of people, the good, criminals of all kinds such as drug dealers, thieves and murderers among others. The career of a police officer is divided into three major stages. Each career stage has distinct characteristics. The police officer behaves differently in each of the stages. The challenges and experiences the officer faces at every stage and the experience gained from the service make the officer evolve into a certain character at the ...

Terry Vs. Ohio 1968 is one of the landmark judicial rulings by the United States Supreme Court that maintained the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth amendment gave the police the authority of conducting arbitrary searches and seizures on individuals if they are suspecting of committing a crime. In case an individual is suspected to have the intent or is about to commit a crime, the police has a constitutional right of searching the individual. However, for the protection of the individual’s rights, the police have the authority to perform a frisk search that includes a quick search on the outer clothing of the individual ...

Questions and Answer

In order to find the connection between these three terms, first we need to define them. The rule of law, as per Zun, Nollkaemper and Peerenboom (12), denotes the legal principle that accounts for the need of a nation to be governed by law. In other words, it reflects the unlimited exercise of power through subjecting it to well-defined, as well as established laws; laws entrenched in a given constitution of the nation at hand. On the other hand, legitimacy denotes lawfulness of any given thing, and lawful here means it adheres to the laws of a given country’ ...

Public Announcement to the Press

A police officer should ensure that a press announcement is concise and as short as possible. Specifically, the police officer should communicate effectively in varying intensities. They should use accurate vocabulary, and the communication should be focused on particulars to avoid unnecessary embarrassments. Furthermore, an officer should be careful in their choice of words to avoid creating ambiguity. In most instances, ambiguous words send the wrong message to the media, and may result in misinformation of the public.
Schmalleger (2012) suggests that a police officer’s facial expression should be consistent with the verbal message. The press quickly picks ...

The news story I found interesting and though provoking this week was a story reported in the NY Daily News. The story is of a man in Tuscaloosa Alabama, who died after a scuffle with the Alabama police and the use of pepper spray to help subdue the man. The 911 call reported the man was Anthony Ware, he had a warrant for previously attempting to elude police and he had a gun in his possession. When the police arrived at the apartment complex, Mr. Ware fled into the woods, fought with the police and eventually was pepper sprayed. As the police were leading ...

When one asks the question: what is crime? He or she can prepare for many answers, the truth is what was not a crime yesterday can very well be a crime today; therefore a universal answer would be anything that the authorities governing a geography location deems illegal is a crime. Crime comes in different categories from felony to misdemeanor.
Felonies are characterized as violent crimes, crimes that inflict pain to another’s body: murder and assaults, including domestic violence and assaults committed with motor vehicles; sexual violence; and mental violence. Physical crimes-crimes that inflict pain or death on another person’s body, ...

My name is (name) and I was charged with a crime in July of 2004. At that time I was a single parent with one child in college and another living at home. I also had my brother living with me at the time as well. It is unfortunate that it was my brother that reported me the San Diego Fraud Unit, but I was charged with living fraudulently in my mother’s home. My mother purchased this home in 1997 and transferred power of attorney to my control in an attempt to convince me to move to California. However, my ...

Robert Merton and the functionalist and social control theorists maintain that most people obey the laws, rules and regulations of mainstream society because they have been trained and socialized to do so, while those who are more likely to become criminals and delinquents have weak social and community bonds. They are unable to obtain the money and material things that American culture values the most, so they turn to illegal methods to obtain them. Travis Hirshi wrote the classic work on social control theory, Causes of Delinquency in 1969. Numerous studies of juvenile delinquents over the last forty years ...

“Careful dear,” my mother lovingly caressed my hair as I bumped into her while frantically running upstairs on my way to the roof top. I would be nine years old tomorrow and she still treats me as if I am a three. I didn’t in the least like her gestures of love. ”Why can’t she just keep her hands off me? Why on earth she has to make a show of it every damn time I am near her? Just the thought of her touching me makes me puke,” angrily I mused as I continued to run upstairs. I ...

Michael was doing what he was always doing on a Thursday night. He was seated comfortably in his armchair in the living room watching his favourite TV show, is home-made spaghetti Bolognese on his lap, and a cold beer on the table next to him. Mike was one of those guys, a creature of habit. Living alone for 3 years does that to you, I guess. Every weekday evening he would come home from work at somewhere between 5:30 and 6 pm, say hello to his cat Pontius, who didn’t seem to care whether he came home or ...

Importance of privacy policies in a fusion center

Information is the key goal for a Fusion Center. A Fusion Center collects and analyzes data from various sources to determine the likelihood of potential threats from domestic and foreign origin against the US. The information from government and private sources contribute largely to a Fusion Center’s database (Regan and Monahan, 2013). The most potent information often originates from the general population. The case of the Lackawanna Six is a testament to that. The people who provided the anonymous tip believed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation works to safeguard the nation. The FBI, with a long history ...

Definition of Human Trafficking

There are many definitions of human trafficking; one of the best ones is given by the Department of Homeland Services: “Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery involving the illegal trade of people for exploitation or commercial gain” (DHS, 2015).

Why is Human Trafficking a Problem??

- Annually, millions of people are trafficked all over the world that includes developed countries.
- According to estimates, human trafficking tens of billions of dollars for traffickers per year
- After the crime of drug trafficking, human trafficking is the second most profitable type of transnational criminal activity.
- Human trafficking mostly end up remaining hidden, and ...

Terrorism is the greatest menace against humanity and threat to modern civilization. Globalization has brought in overall prosperity and development to the world. This has facilitated ease in transportation across international borders, communication between remote locations through access to internet and wireless phones, and international fund transfer electronically. Terrorists have used these facilities to strike at faraway places. Terrorism has not remained confined to a region and has spread globally. After 9/11 terrorist attack, United States along with its allies have declared war against terrorism. Answers have been prepared based on these perspectives.

Introduction

Terrorism has an enormous dependence on surprise. As a result, a terror attack has the massive potential of causing damages to an unprepared, as well as, unwitting target. It, therefore, follows that America through its agencies such as NCTC must take appropriate measures to avoid surprise attacks as the September eleventh one. For purposes of securing its homeland, setting up intelligence, as well as, warning systems which can detect terrorist activities before their manifestation has been instrumental towards curtailing the attacks in the United States. In essence, the discussion below will center on NCTC and ways of mitigating the ...

A thunderous ringing noise roused the somnolent house on Maple Street, number 92, lulled in soporific breeze of the autumn night. A corpulent, pale yellow fingered hand picked up the receiver of an obsolescent, antiquated phone, the noise of which perforated the bucolically alveolated inside of the house. “Yes?” A raucous and slightly hoarse voice breathed languidly. “Detective Davidson? It’s lieutenant Kowalsky… I apologize for calling this early, but we need you over at the high school… there’s been a murder,” the voice was cacophonous and discombobulated. “I’ll be right there,” Maximilian ...

Best friend: (After hitting down and killing an old woman due to careless driving). You must promise not tell anyone about this incident.
Kant: A hit and run dilemma must involve an unlawful driving practice where the person liable for perpetrating or partaking in the accident declines to stop and assume accountability as required by the law. As opposed to adhering to the recommended procedure after such a misfortune or acting as recourse for any affected victim.
Hume: In your scenario, a hit and run incident arises since your colleague was accountable for the accident but decided to abscond ...

___ March 2013

Predicting the future may seem farfetched, but in this case, we can risk it. In a general sense, I have a strong vision that the criminal justice system of the United States will be a pragmatic and proactive one by the time 2033 strikes. I envision a criminal justice system that espouses positive values and can adeptly handle problems through creative, forward-looking and sustainable solutions. Around this time, our criminal justice system will have already learned from the error of its ways and will do its best to keep Americans safe and protected.
In 2033, I see an empowered criminal ...

Her hands shook, each finger twitching in a frenzied and broken rhythm that no one could have possibly understood. That was okay, the rhythm of her fingers matched the erratic beating of her heart at that moment. She had done something horrible, something that she might never have believed possible of herself in a million years. Worse than that though, so much so in fact that she felt it as a sudden awakening in the pit of her stomach, she’d enjoyed it. She had put a gun to a man’s head and pulled the trigger, and she ...

Leaning against a fashionable chair in one of the greatest hotels in the states was Mary Johnson. She had a reason to have a sense pride as a resident of a place boasting of centuries’ old architecture and an invigorating culture made up of blends of African, Spanish, French as well as several Native American aspects (Larson 27). Bourbon Street lights her mind at the coastal joint in the south east city of New Orleans, the state of Louisiana, as she waits for her husband Harry Kewell who had been out on an official appointment. Time tickles beyond their planned time and she decides ...

1) The article was written in the first person point of view. The narrator is the character speaking for his self.
2) In the story by Edgar Allan Poe, the tension primarily lies on how the character narrated how he killed the old man and how he was unable to hide his guilt in the end. Readers always want something good to happen in a story, and leading the story into murder and lies creates tension. It is similar in the Tell-Tale Heart. The tension began when the character confessed his plan to kill ...

Gangs and gang related activities have been issues that have plagued the American Society and the nation as a whole from the early 60s. The issues of gangs is one that is very difficult to deal with, however, as a community I believe this plague that continues to steal the lives and future of our children can be mitigated if not eradicated.
Firstly, juvenile delinquency, is almost is always exercised in a group dynamic. This is how peer pressure works, the illusion of belonging to a group or family where an individual finds purpose and a reason for life. However, this purpose is ...

Has anyone ever noticed a lot of people around that don’t really register on the radar? They aren’t invisible, not exactly. But on the other hand they are more like ghosts than the real people in the city. When real people are rushing around to work sometimes there are flickers in and out of the crowds on the sidewalk. Or grayish shadows moving along the edges of the building even on a sunny day. Since there is no such thing as ghosts they must be people. Right? Probably people who are like that can do a lot of things real ...

For my directing concept, I chose Martin McDonough's The Pillowman - the tale of Katurian, a horror story author who finds himself being arrested by a totalitarian police state for murders that closely follow his horrific short stories. Being put in a cell with his brother Michal, he starts to recount his stories to both him and the detectives interrogating him, figuring out exactly what happened to him in his childhood and the murders that mirror his stories. I believe this play would make a wonderful addition to any given season of Mosaic Theatre or any other participating and willing theater in the ...

Imperialism is the domination by a stronger group of a weaker group’s territory, customs, values, laws and institution (Hobson 44). The imperialists change the way of life of the conquered people to an extent that the conquered lose almost every aspect of their indigenous way of life. The people mostly associated with this concept are the western Europeans and especially the British. Imperialism has been seen to have far more negative effects on both the conquered and the imperialists. This has been demonstrated by George Orwell’s essays. George Orwell was an imperial police man in Burma.
His writings ...

Truancy- big idea

Reducing the number of truant children and adolescents can be a first step to keeping these kids away from a lifetime of unemployment, crime, and incarceration. This statement holds its premise in that truancy is associated with poor grades leading to truants failing to secure college places and consequently failing to get any form of employment.
Truancy according to Huizinga and Jacob-Chien (1998) is a student being absent from school three or more days without a legitimate and reasonable excuse. This is in a five day school week. Reduced consistency of attending classes often leads to most truants getting very poor grades. The ...
