How to overcome racism if our own justice system is racial? We know that our nation has struggled a lot of unjust racial cases. For example, in the period of pre-civil war, the southern part of the United States was covered with slavery. The life of Black-African American groups was horrible as they were slaves and were treated as slaves also. They were a property that white people could buy and sell, had no rights, and were not protected by the legislature. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery, and the modern days are known for the public fight with ...

Justify your position Gestures are part of communicating in our everyday life, and they can be interpreted positively or negatively. The variations in the interpretation of gestures occur due to cultural, religious, ethnic and environmental differences. Some gestures are generally rude and inappropriate no matter the context in which they are used. Rude gestures are annoying and offending. They are intended to offend the other person to whom it ...

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law. There are several provisions under the United States constitution that can ...

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Learning allows our brains to record and preserve beneficial behaviors and know how to avoid harmful ones. The consequences of the experiences we have or observe are stored in our memory as knowledge to influence our future behavior. The paper explores behavior change through a focus on the learning theories; classical and operant conditioning.

It is a form of learning in which the response to a voluntary behavior influences whether or not the behavior will recur; this occurs through the use of reinforcements and punishment. Following the experiments of B. F. Skinner, we can conclude that a person or ...

BODY CAMERAS TO BENEFIT POLICE AND CITIZENS

There is a sustained perception by minority groups such as African-Americans that the law enforcement officers treat discriminately. This has increased incidences of police involvement against the demographics. However, the introduction and use of body cameras come as a panacea towards bringing to an end the unprecedented cases of police brutality and use of excessive force. In addition, civil suits concerning police brutality launched by African Americans are expected to reduce the involvement of body cameras. 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 ...

At common law, a felony murder was defined as the unlawful killing of a human being while in the commission of a felony crimes (LaFave). However, the modern concept of felony murder has widely been interpreted to mean an unlawful killing that occurred in the commission of only a certain type of felony crime, or acts that are deemed, by the totality of circumstances, to be inherently dangerous (LaFave). Under the federal criminal code, a person is guilty of felony murder if in “preparation of, or attempt to perpetrate, any” robbery (LII). Robbery, under the federal criminal code, is ...

What are some of the ideal structures that are currently in use today? Conduct a web search on four types of departments. Choose one department that is very large (more than 1000 sworn police officers); choose one that is considered large sized (more than 150 but less than 1000); choose a medium sized department (between 50 to 149 sworn officers) and finally a small department (less than 50 sworn officers). Go to each department’s website and find their Year-end Report. If one doesn’t exist for the department you choose, try to find another agency in the same ...

The objective of this paper is to detail the process that is followed to become a ...

Police officers are responsible for keeping peace in the country. They apprehend and pursue individual who breaks the law, solve issues of the community, enforce traffic law, arrest suspected criminal, investigate crimes and respond to emergencies. They are usually assigned to patrol particular areas to be familiar when inspecting suspicious circumstances. Training is significant before one becomes a police officer as it will expose him or her to a new situation to handle challenging tasks during the career life. I think the best education level of the police should be college degree level. The college degree level is ideal ...

Police Interviews are a fascinating form of social interaction, and one in which a power and control dynamic is instantly apparent. As one part of forensic linguistics, the study of language dynamics between an investigating police officer and a member of the public provides an important opportunity to study this type of interaction, and power dynamics in social interactions more generally. There are various approaches to analyzing such interview, two of which are Conversation Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis. Using these approaches, and bearing in mind the context and ongoing importance of interview data, such interactions can provide linguistic ...

A police officer is a worker of the criminal justice system, who is not limited in the meaning of a particular rank. As an employee of the police force, officers are the lowest rank, as well as the profession with the most generalized responsibilities. A probation officer, in turn, is rather a supervisor of a limited circle of people. A probation officer is connected to a particular non-custodial criminal, who as well can be a prisoner, released from the incarceration. A prison guard is an officer of the criminal justice system, who works with the imprisoned lawbreakers. The most ...

Discussion on Various Topics

The problem relates to how marijuana should be legalized throughout the United States. There are now twenty-four U.S. jurisdictions that have enacted medical marijuana laws (MMLs), or laws that protect individuals who use marijuana upon recommendation of physicians, farmers who plant and supply the market, and doctors who issue prescription regarding use of marijuana (Smart 1). The legalization of medical marijuana will create a need for change, for example, new laws, policies, knowledge of medical and psychological effects, and education to help people understand the proper use of marijuana. There are many issues to be resolved if legalization of ...

Abstract

Over the past years, the criminal justice system has experienced both praises and criticism involving the manner in which various officers enforce law and order. While most officers strive to ensure sanctity and order prevail among all equals, a section of the officers overlook the art of humanity and apply undue force to innocent and suspected individuals. Unfortunately, the blanket of corruption shields the officers from prosecution in the effort to safeguard the exposition of the inner affairs of the police culture. Corruption broils police brutality and individual victimization with unwarranted allegations as a weapon to silence their sufferings. ...

Introduction

In the past few decades, community policing in the most parts of the USA have been affected by the acute shortage in police applicants as well as difficulties for the police departments to retain the existing officers. With the increase in crime in the major cities as well as the increase in external aggression, the reduction in police officers is bound to become a problem that needs to be addressed at state and national level. Over the last three decades, there have been an increase in homicides, violent crimes, and shootings not to mention the several terrorism incidences that ...

Introduction

Juvenile delinquency has long been a sensitive topic. It often encompasses the disciplines of morality, ethics, and criminal justice and law enforcement. The same is true for other hotly debated and related topics such as the over-criminalization of youths, youth policing, and the war on drugs and how it affects the mindset and social behavior of young people. There has also been numerous works that have been published about these topics. One of those was Punished Policing the Lives of Black and Latino Boys.

First, middle, last name of the student

According to Josephson Institute of Ethics (2010), six pillars of character universally are the following: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. Trustworthiness for a police officer means that people can tell him/her (“him” will be used for simplicity everywhere further) all the details of the crime and they will be sure that what was said will stay only between them.

Respect means that police officers respect dignity of all people regardless of age, beliefs, religion and sex.

Responsibility is accountability, self control and pursuit of excellence. In my view, this pillar is the most important for a police officer, since he investigates crimes and works with victims. Therefore, he should master his own emotions and ...

Introduction

The community landscape is fast changing. Emerging crimes (e.g. human trafficking, child sex exploitation, cybercrimes) have gone beyond the traditional geographical borders, presenting the police with challenges that they may not be well-equipped to handle. Increasing transiency, diversity, and fragmentation within communities added to the challenge of police resources (Longstaff, et al., 2015). In addition, budget cuts had strained departmental resources. Despite these challenges, community policing may open unexpected opportunities to maximize resources with desirable efficiency. It is proposed that a community policing unit be activated to sustain community engage while keeping workforce costs within budgetary limits.

Abstract

The criminal justice system in the United States provides Constitutional guarantees for all who are subject to the laws of the land. The three most controversial aspects of this system today are Search and Seizure, arrest, and interrogations. While these three aspects are the foundation of police action throughout the nation, there are several unresolved problems in how each of these processes is in use today. The presence of the law is not always the same as upholding it. The cases which made the case for the citizens are moving into obscurity with modern variations of the problems making ...

[Institution’s Name] Police departments need SWAT teams. SWAT teams receive specialized training to deal with extraordinary circumstances. For example, if there is a suspect in a house who happens to be fully armed and begins shooting at law enforcement, then it would be necessary to call for SWAT. Other situations where SWAT might be needed are hostage stand-offs, terrorist attacks, or a riot. They may also be needed in sniper positions when overseeing the protection of high level officials in very public areas. SWAT teams have unique gear that sets them apart from the normal police officer. SWAT ...

There has been a reason for outrage as police brutality has escalated and many incidents have become more visible in communities today although was also present in years past. 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). ...

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. Police discretion draws the thin blue line in which law enforcement are given the freedom to make a decision in taking actions about certain situations whether to let a traffic violator off with a warning or to issue a violation ticket. The ...

Response to Montie Williams

As Williams correctly puts it, it is legally, morally and ethically wrong for anyone to break the law and go away with it unpunished irrespective of their position in the society. This is the moral judgment that needs to inform our decision making as criminal justice professionals. The moral rule is that everybody should follow the law as they exist to protect the society from harm. Given the self-interested and egoistic nature of human beings, it would be chaotic to allow people to decide when and when not to abide by the laid down rules and laws. Using the ...

Intoxication is being in a state of alcoholic or narcotic intoxication. The government is increasingly sensitive to the cases of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, explaining that the drunk driver is endangering both for their life, health and property, and other road users. However, as practice shows, the number of the detained drunk drivers increases dramatically around the holidays. If the circumstances of the crime are clear, and in a short time collected all the necessary evidence, the Prosecutor may apply to the court to hear the case under expedited proceedings. Basically, criminal cases associated with DUI are dealt ...

Criminal Law

Methodological Approach The proposed research is intended to determine the effective approach by police officers regardless of gender in addressing complaints of rape victimization. It is apparent that rape victims are hesitant in reporting the incident due to fear of being misunderstood by the authorities. Hence, the rape victims particularly women are more comfortable reporting their experience to the police officer of the same gender. However, it should not be the case because law enforcers regardless of gender should be able to handle rape complaints effectively through proper communication protocol in order to create a pro-active response for immediate ...

Question 1:

Question 2 Question 3. The board never gave a clear justification to fire Pettit and their predicament was based on the oral copulation case that might affect children at the school. The board made the decision on the basis of their conservative values who believed that children were susceptible to such behaviour and it was possible they might pick up on such behaviour from their teacher. The board claimed that Pettit was unfit to teach, but the explanation was unrelated to the profession, rather it was based on her sexual preferences. To justify her termination, the board needed to ...

For the last several years the prestige and reputation of the police has declined dramatically. It is considered that the failures in ethical conduct and insufficient monitoring are two major reasons why police brutality has become the most widely used characteristics of the work of law enforcements. It is a particularly ethically challenging job that requires thorough expertise and high standards in ethics to fulfill all goals. Policing is a difficult job as well in terms of physical and moral complications it may generate. It poses a direct threat to life of professionals operating in this field and high ...

Introduction

The United States Constitution can be described as the highest law of the land. During court proceedings, the constitution is the supreme law that is applicable in determining the outcome of criminal litigation, but other laws arise from the Amendments to the Constitution. The United States Constitution often guides how the government should function, the jurisdiction of the presidency, American Congress, and the Supreme Court. It is, however, paramount to note that all American states have their own Constitutions that they enact and follow, but the federal constitution is considered the highest law that overrides other state laws in ...

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. As a police department, it is important to maintain honesty among our force and stay clear from corruption. 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 ...

Any officer of the law is expected to be above suspicion and present themselves as a stalwart example to the community they protect. Corruption in law enforcement is supposed to remain rooted in fictional stories and television and films that are made to entertain the masses. It is unfortunate then that the truth is that the depiction of corruption in law enforcement within the fictional boundaries has a very solid, realistic base from which to work. Despite their trusted and respected roles in their communities, police officers are not immune to temptation. Accepting gratuities are among the worst violations ...

Social media has largely revolutionized the way people communicate today. Statistics show that an average Facebook user will share an average 90 pieces of content in a month, and over 600,000 materials are created by the users every minute. It is estimated that one million Twitter accounts are created every day and Instagram records over a billion likes of content posted on its site daily. The impact of social media has been too significant for law enforcement agencies to neglect its use. In 2014, a study consisting of 600 law enforcement agencies across 46 states conducted by the ...

Abstract

The United States’ criminal justice system is all about truth. Therefore, law enforcement professionals are expected to act and behave in such a way that mirrors this public commitment. While it is human nature to lie, the kind of job police officers have requires truth and reliability at all times from the law enforcer. People place high level of trust on them, thus, it is only right that police officers remain truthful at all times. Otherwise, it weakens the criminal justice system and only breeds distrust. The justice system is based on truth and police officers, including those who ...

African Americans have suffered from police brutality in the United States since time in memorial. It is disheartening to see unarmed African Americans suffer in the hands of white police with many either sustaining serious unimaginable injuries or even in extreme cases losing their lives. It is quite unclear how racial discrimination continues to haunt even the new century with more fatalities recorded in the civilized era where governments have enacted policies to protect each person from all sort of discrimination. Police brutality is and has been an increasingly notorious act of discrimination of the colored skin people, mostly ...

The film our group watched to complete this assignment was the 2006 crime drama The Departed, starring Leonard DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Martin Sheen and Jack Nicholson (The Departed).

Qeenan’s recruitment of Costigan, presents a number of interesting ethical questions such ...

Policing Ethics

Over the last few years, ethics in policing has emerged as an important area with rising recorded cases that involve the police using excessive force. National Constitution and other relevant laws give police officers the legal framework from which they derive their powers in carrying out their duties. The original conception of the police force was that they would obtain the citizen’s goodwill while performing their policing duties. The understanding has changed since; police officers are now viewed as controllers of crime. However, the same law and constitution places limit for police officers on how far they go ...

Final Project – The Removalists

David Williamson’s 1971 Australian play The Removalists revolves around the story of a pair of police officers, Constable Neville Ross and Sergeant Dan Simmonds, and their investigation of a domestic assault charge placed by Fiona and Kate against Fiona’s husband Kenny in a Melbourne suburb in the 1970s. Through a tremendously realistic style and deeply complex exploration of the themes of violence, treatment of women and police brutality, The Removalists manages to create a uniquely compelling portrait of 1970s Australian life and its changing social norms, as well as the universal capacity for human beings to inflict ...

The United States judicial system offers certain protections for criminal suspects who are at risk of arrest or a search without a warrant. One of the most important safeguards afforded under the U.S. Constitution is the 4th amendment, which prevents government officials from illegally searching individuals or seizing property without following standard procedure. The concept has evolved over time, and the exclusionary rule is now the primary way to defend people from illegal search and seizure by government officials. However, history has shown that this is an ineffective solution because it allows those who would have been convicted to ...
