This has increased incidences of police involvement against the demographics.

According to the H.Res.16, the wearing of body cameras by local law enforcement agencies while serving the communities encourages transparency and protects both ...

A DNA profile,which is stored in database, is not only used to identify a single individual, but it also allows to track close relatives using the information which can be located in a single DNA ...

One of the most shocking cases and the one that has created the most conversation occurred in Ferguson, Missouri and it surrounded the death and subsequent protests of teenager Michael Brown. The events in Ferguson nearly ...

For example, according to Darden and Thomas, “If African Americans in Detroit between 1925 and 1945 were to name the worst racial abuses they had to encounter, without a moment’s hesitation they would have said “white police brutality” (Darden and Thomas 29). This has helped to encourage reporting of police brutality. But, citizens like Victor Rios who have experienced police brutality filed complaints and was simply ignored (Rios 59). ...

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.

Divestiture strategies are laws that separate people from what is legally theirs. For instance, people should socialize while they are young, but they are taken to academy where they are separated from both their families and friends.

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 ...

Over the years, the government has had the duty to fund the police as well as law enforcement agencies in the whole country. Since the 1990s, however, many corporations and citizens have opted to hire private law enforcement officers for supplemental protection (James, 2003). Law and order is a vital function for any society. Therefore, it was very unfortunate when a small town in the south of Montana, called Hardin, was lacking a police station and had insufficient federal police officers. With no other promising choice, the citizens of Hardin opted for private policing. The private police force has ...

1. Introduction – Policing and representation of the community by the Police Over the years, there have been a lot of debates on the ethical role of police, especially looking at what is termed as police brutality or excesses. While in some countries certain ethnicities have accused the police of racial profiling and hatred, in other countries extreme force has been used to disperse protesters which were associated with slaughtering of college students. If anything, such incidents alienate the police force from the general community and often create a greater law and order problem throughout the nation which often result ...

Introduction Although the U.S Federal government spends billions of dollars towards crime reduction policy initiatives, incidence rate of crimes such as homicides, burglary, smuggling, and gang violence is on the rise in the country. With the 9/11 terror attacks, the United States has become a major target for terrorist groups worldwide. In addition, the strong diplomatic stance taken by the Federal government against Islamic State (IS) terrorists also makes the country vulnerable to organized terror attacks. In this context, traditional policing may not be much effective to take proactive measures aimed at ensuring the safety ...

INTRODUCTION

In human society there have always been laws and lawbreakers. Police were designed to protect the public from the dangerous offenders who might steal from them, harm them or kill them. The idea was that police were to be a positive inclusion in American cities, towns and neighborhoods. In some cases and some places they are exactly that. However, over the last few years there have been more and more instances where police have committed acts of unnecessary force, extreme violence and, unfortunately, including the use of deadly force in cases where their actions and motivation are being questioned ...

Police corruption occurs when an officer uses his or her status as a police officer to obtain a wrongful gain or a benefit. It may include something as simple as accepting a free meal to something as deviant as extortion.

In order to better understand this issue, I have drafted this memo to address issues of corruption including free meals, standards and civil liability.

Introduction to Law Enforcement

Introduction to Law Enforcement 1) What do Americans want from police? Police officers are seen as peace keepers as well as enforcers of the law, and as such are continually at odds with various elements in their communities. A certain level of corruption will always exist in any society, though police officers are intended to keep it to a minimum at the very least. What people tend to want from the police is the protection that law enforcement is bound and sworn to give in regards to their community. In several polls many people have gone on to claim ...

People coming from different backgrounds and belonging to different race and creed usually encounter conflicts. The different professionals belonging to different races also have different beliefs and opinions. Hence, conflicts arise among them. For instance, an Indian doctor would believe in myth such as drinking eight glasses of water per day is important than a British doctor. The point ...

INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION ON POLICE BEHAVIOR

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation on Police Behavior There is a theory that declares ‘if you do not love what you are doing when you go to work every day you are wasting your time’. While there are people who go to work just to make ends meet fulfilling the base of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Jancewicz, 2016), those who work in the law enforcement portion of the public sector are often drawn by a need to “protect and serve” (Jancewicz, 2016). While the very nature of what they do sets law enforcement apart from the private sector, ...

Police Misconduct1. What role does the police/corrections subculture play in fueling law enforcement misconduct?

Police subculture is a popular notion in law enforcement literature. According to Ortmeier and Meese (2009), police subculture is an important determinant of police behavior and attitude. The definition of police subculture is based on common attitudes, which are characteristic in a typical police department. The police subculture perceives the community in terms of violence and hostility; thus, the general reaction is to ensure secretiveness, supportiveness and unity in the police force. The conventional characterization of police subculture is based on attitudes, values and behaviors developed within a typical police department (Ortmeier & Meese, 2009). Whereas the police department has ...

In the current professions, a set of rules that govern the limits of workers remains important. The rules and policies are set to give the corresponding officials and other concerned members a clear way of dealing with the people they serve. In business, health, politics and all other institutions, whether economic or not, rules are applied to the professionals to ensure that they give the concerned parties the right services. A code of ethics can, therefore, be defined as a set of rules put in place to govern the way people live and interact in a certain environment. The ...

Introduction

Racial profiling has always been an issue of discussion over the past few years. It is however, considered the practice done by law enforcement officers to having a target on certain individuals with suspicion of crime based on the individual’s characters. The targets considered as social profiling are based on certain unique characteristics including race, ethnicity, the national origin or even religion. Walking and Williams(2008) state that the discriminatory actions are mainly carried out in the western countries, which have high diversity degree. The law enforcing bodies, however, treat racial profiling differently. The U.S. department of justice ...

Abstract

Gun violence has been a bone of contention in the United States for the last several decades. The US government has taken a number of legal and strategic initiatives to fight this serious issue.

Part 1: Prosecutor’s Duty to Report

Although the American criminal law is based on the adversarial system where the prosecutor, representing the state, and the defense, representing the accused, engage in openly confrontational activities in order to persuade a neutral decision-maker of the truth of their story; the Supreme Court has held that under some circumstance, and despite the adversarial nature of the relationship, the prosecution must assist the defense in the preparation of their case. The underlying reason for this counter-intuitive element of the adversarial system, is the traditional belief that the substantial power of the state, as expressed through its law enforcement and ...

Summary of the problem and alternatives

Reducing police brutality has been a challenge for the Ministry of Internal Security, the government, and the justice system. The United States records high cases of police brutality that affect the police-civilian relationship. The paper proposed two alternatives to prevent and reduce cases of police brutality. These are the provision of a mandatory yearly training to officers and conducting extensive background checks on officer's mental state yearly. The two alternative solutions have a lot of weight in helping prevent police brutality in the future.

Impact of alternatives on the issue of police brutality

Each of the two alternatives played a critical role in influencing the outcome on the ...

Abstract

The use biological weapons of mass destruction (WMD) are one of the most dangerous form of terrorism ever invented. In contrast to ‘conventional’ suicide bombings, killing sprees, or use of chemical agents, the symptoms of attack are not immediately obvious. Therefore, it requires special response approaches, especially, when a potential attack may take place in a venue, where many people will be present. In addition to potential exposure of tens of thousands of attendees at a Democratic-Republican Party Convention in Miami-Dade, among the participants will be the top politicians of the country, whose safety is a matter of national ...

Background and key players

In 1919, the city of Boston faced an unusual situation where its police department went on an indefinite strike demanding the right to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor and for enhanced remuneration. In the decade before, the Boston Police Department’s officers received reasonable remunerations up to $1400 per year. The salaries graded according to the rank and position of the individual. The economic conditions were supportive for police officers to lead a reasonable lifestyle. However, all of that changed with the First World War. The years immediately following the end of the war were particularly hard ...

In every law enforcement in any country, police officers have the right to use force in the course of their work. However, the use of force is not limitless to them. The use of force should be exceptional, that is, acceptable in some cases. The use of force by law enforcement officers is strictly regulated by the law. The laws may differ from one country to another, and one should always be familiar with them. The international community has worked towards establishing a code of conduct that should be followed by all law enforcement officers in all countries. The ...

POLICY A: Provision of a mandatory yearly training to officers.

Cost The total cost of implementing this alternative will be approximate $100 billion per year. The cost would relate to expertise hiring and resources mobilization as well as logistics arrangements. Further, considering that the policy would have wider reaching effects on the whole police force makes it more beneficial regardless of the higher cost.

Stability

Can objectives be achieved with variable change In view of the substantial cost for the policy implementation, the greatest variable change change that could affect its success is the lack of funding. However, in cases of less funding from the government that is the main ...

Introduction

Police officers and their actions fall under the scrutiny of the society and the Constitutional Amendments that protect their rights. Although state legislatures adopt different approaches to arrest criminal behavior, the police departments across the nation are subjective to Federal laws in case of violations. The most common complaints against the police in recent years include excessive force, violation of civil rights, unbecoming of an officer, and deliberate indifference. Police officers enjoy limited immunity and cannot be accountable individually. However, the department as a whole will face the damages. In the political climate today with shrinking police budgets, lawsuits ...

Introduction

Nowadays, the struggle against the use, dissemination, and production of drugs is quite severe. Despite the fact that so-called War on Drugs has been launched in 1971, it seems like there was no serious developments in this direction. Since the development of this campaign, loads of taxpayers’ funds were invested to this fight, a lot of people were detained, and tons of substances confiscated. The War led to the militarization of the police and involvement of the military into the raids on multiple occasions. One of the main issues here is the focus of the authorities on a specific ...

A career in criminal justice is usually very demanding. According to Hagan, Roman & Nollkaemper (1997), police officers have one of the most demanding jobs in criminal justice given that they put their lives at risk to ensure that law and order is maintained in a community Job satisfaction is one of the major motivators in any given job. It is factual that employees that are satisfied with their jobs perform better than those that are dissatisfied with their jobs. Consequently, job satisfaction has a major effect on the performance of the police officers as they go about their work. ...

Executive Summary

Recent news reports on racial minorities being shot and killed by the police, or by those taken into custody and are reported to have died while in that situation, pose a grim reminder that the relationship of law enforcement and the racial minorities in the United States have been one filled with tension and conflict, mistrust and suspicion, fear and force, and domination and struggle. This is not a civil rights position paper; rather, this is a research geared to proffer that the instance of encounters between racial minorities and the police have been generally characterized by conflict ...

Background of the Scandal:

Organized crime has been the most worrying thing that has been haunting the experts of governance and public management as it can be very hard to trace and even harder to avoid. Rather than doing their jobs, the law enforcement agencies like police and related other institutes can be made a part in the organized crime in order to ensure that the criminals get protected when caught or worse yet, do not face hurdles in their operations. Drug addiction has been one of the biggest problems that the policy makers and governance specialists have ever claimed to ...

Perhaps the clearest example of the United States’ involvement in state terrorism, as it is defined by Green and Ward is the electronic surveillance state that was revealed by former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden in 2013. According to Green and Ward, state terrorism is illustrated in the repressive policy and laws that would normally be considered violations of human rights or unacceptable in a liberal democracy, such as the U.S., but are nevertheless implemented for counterterrorism purposes (Green & Ward, 2004). Under the U.S. Constitution, it is the right of all people to be free from “unreasonable ...

The three countries alone account for almost half of the world’s paper production and consumption. The United States is the leading country in as far as paper export is concerned while Germany is the world’ ...

Remember when the police department as a whole cared about the people they served? When police officers spoke out against corruption and participated in community activities within the neighborhoods they patrolled? It seems those days are gone and have been replaced with almost “random” killings by police, as if there were a lottery drawing, perhaps. Police killings are not the only problem for citizens in America concerning law enforcement. People of all races face brutality, police being less than truthful, or outright lying under oath, and law enforcement officers facing no criminal charges, or even acquittal. Three cases that ...

Abstract
