Criminal Justice

Introduction In many ways, the work of police officers encompasses situations in which their sound judgment is being challenged. There are circumstances where the officers find themselves in a position where they need to make a decision on specific matters in which a lack of foresight would result to an act of lawfulness or abuse of authority.

Introduction

Community policing aims at working in close coordination with the local community, involving citizens in all the aspects of law design and implementation. The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, established in 1994 as part of the U.S. Department of Justice especially supports such strategies. As against conventional reactive strategies, this is a step towards a proactive strategy consisting of community partnerships, organizational transformation and solving problems before they assume larger dimensions. As Maximino points out, the need for new approaches to police community relationships is evidenced by the violent shooting incidents in the US ...

Community policing provides the modern concept on how police work is done. The main focus of the community policing model is to establish a police department initiated program that is designed to offer an opportunity for the police and public agencies and members of the community to discover their common problems and responsibilities, and work together towards the solution of community problems and the formulation of positive community programs (Palmiotto, 2000). It is not merely a problem solving strategy but an initiative that aims to establish police-community collaboration in solving problems in the community and in attaining peace and ...

One of the most interesting facts that I learned from the academy was how patrolling worked. Before the academy, I was under the assumption that police officers randomly drove around neighbors to look for suspects and other criminal before. However, now I see that there is a define set of protocols that the officers are following when it comes to patrolling neighborhoods. For instance, there is a proactive and reactive approach when it comes to patrolling neighborhoods. Proactive is when the police officers are patrolling the neighborhood themselves to see if they can find any laws being broken or ...

1. The three policing strategies that are found to be most important are community policing, problem oriented policing and evidence based policing. Community policing involves the establishment of partnership with the community by the police officers. This strategy will allow the police officers to develop a constructive relationship with the community members that will allow them to reach out in helping them solve their problems about crimes and not merely to respond to the calls for service (Albrecht and Das, 2011). The process will result in the decentralization of the police organization that will result in a more responsive ...

Consequently, order is maintained in society because people know that they would be held responsible if they go against the rules and regulations as determined by law. The police have been given right by the constitution that they may reprimand people who create havoc in the city which helps limit ...

It has been long since Saudi Arabian women are fully deliberated and the discrimination laid upon them discarded.
