In the early part of the 1950’s, in what has now become the “Simon-Waldo debates,” began to be published in The American Political Science Review.

It has continued to experience a range of challenges that are generated by the existing environment. The law enforcement practices, as well as policies, have received a lot of public scrutiny.

The contemporary policing is primarily marked by the uncertainty and broadening of crime deterrence problems. Among the law enforcement officers, the police have been scrutinized heavily by the public. ...

On November 5, 2009, the son of Palestinian immigrants, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan randomly fired into a crowd at a processing center at Fort Hood, the largest active-duty military post in the country (Army Major kills, n.d.). One would be hard pressed to find a larger military stage to conduct such blatant murder. Despite the Major shouting ‘God is great’ in Arabic, “Allahu Akbar”, just before he opened fire on soldiers who were either returning from deployment, or getting ready to be deployed, there was a denial by the government to officially label the shooting as an act ...

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.

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 ...

INTRODUCTION

One of the technological platforms regularly visited by college students each and every day is social media. There are many youths who participate in all social media, like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, as if it is an important factor of their lives, something that is essential and necessary.

In Parts one and Two of Volume One of Michael Foucault’s Philosophy on Sexuality, he analyses and distances himself from what he calls “Repression Hypothesis,” using our desire to analyze and investigate the “science” of our sexual behavior, our need to confess what we deem sexual immorality, and the productive nature of the relationship of sex to power and knowledge, as the key elements of his argument. A definition of “Repression Hypothesis” is necessary for us to understand further why Foucault rejects it. According to American philosopher and University of California, Berkeley professor of Philosophy, Hurbert Dryfus, and ...

Individual Reaction to the Advent of Artificial Intelligence

Introduction Through advancements in science and technology, human beings have managed to create machines that work more or less in the same way as the human brain, performing tasks like mathematical calculations and language translations. This is what has come to be known as Artificial intelligence (AI) which is the kind of intelligence that machines exhibit when certain manipulations and programming is done to them. Some of these machines like the IBM computer, Watson, are capable of mimicking or performing certain cognitive functions that are normally associated with the human brain only. Artificial intelligence research thus deals with problems ...

Internal Analysis

Internal Analysis

Introduction

According to David (2011), every organization has weaknesses and strengths in its functional areas. Organizations have several functional areas depending on the industry they operate in. A firm that seeks competitive advantage against rivals must build on its distinctive competencies, which are inimitable strengths that others cannot replicate. Similarly, it is important to build on weaknesses and to turn them into strengths. The process of internal analysis, therefore, involves establishing the company’s strengths and weaknesses within key functional areas. Once completed, an internal analysis helps employees to understand and perform their roles within the larger organizational ...

Abstract

Public safety agencies have a tendency to ignore leadership succession planning and the formal development of future leaders. A combination of budget cuts, a lack of internal interest, increased public scrutiny, and politics means that public agencies often do not prepare for leadership changes. The average leadership tenure in the public sector has a reputation for being more extensive than the private sector, which is perhaps one of the reasons why public agencies do not place as much importance on succession planning. The average tenure of leaders in fire and rescue agencies is shortening due to increased job demands ...

Introduction

This literature seeks to explore the correlation between class issues and schooling based on an Australian model of study. Most of the authors in this review agree that there is a correlation between class issues and the way schools are perceived and operated. The rise of neoliberalism has led way to an induction of creating a greater divide between the haves and have nots. Australian schools have shifted from the dynamics of the 1970s and 1980’s where the idea of a more balanced school system was part of educational reform. However, as of 2009 this has shifted and ...

called and held to account

Introduction

Traditional models of accountability, primarily those of elections and legislative scrutiny, are no longer sufficient in holding governments accountable. While Emy and Hughes (1988) argue that accountability dilemmas have been long standing within ministerial government, they see accountability failures as an indication of mechanisms corrupted by political interest. The rise of new social movements is a strong indication of the collective desire of citizens to interrupt the “chain of accountability”. The desire to influence political decision makers is a reflection of a growing assumption that the democratic deficit facing most western governments requires experiments ...

Literature is the perfect mirror of the world society as the creative artists take resort to their works of art to portray the society and culture.

Since the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was constituted, it has been accused on numerous occasions of pro-management and pro-union activities and possible bias when enforcing the National Labor Relations Act.

My opinion ...

Our society has regulations and policies that govern the activities that we do. Some of these activities need approval before venturing into them such as law, medicine and pharmacy. Drivers, doctors, lawyers and psychologists conduct activities which might harm human beings and hence need to be subjected to scrutiny procedures which test their proficiency before being allowed to venture into them.

Introduction

Upholding ethical principles is essential to the maintenance of peace in any community. Precisely, the nature of people’s conduct in any organization is essential to the success of the institution. As such, people can determine how ethical or unethical we are by assessing our behaviours. According to Guerrette, Ethics is the philosophical study of the principles that govern the conduct of people in society [1]. Our actions can, therefore, be said to be ethical if they are praiseworthy and unethical if they are blameable. Ethics, therefore, tries to make a distinction between what is right and wrong. This ...

U.S. Public Education U.S. Public Education The U.S. public education system is under scrutiny in recent years. This scrutiny is informed by deeper issues of race, social justice and in more recent years, rising classicism. The debate over education, particularly public education, has gained further significance (as is evident in current presidential race) given how education has become critical in recent years for social mobility, a central ethos in U.S. culture. Given a long history of racial segregation, black students continue to experience different modes of visible and invisible segregation in U.S. public education system. In earlier periods, black ...

Criminal Justice

Goldstein moved police work from a reactive philosophy of maintaining law and order to a proactive philosophy of supporting democratic values and enhancing public safety through a problem solving approach to crime (Panzarella & Vona, 2013, p. 245). Goldstein’s approach to problem oriented policing became the core of community policing idea in the United States. Accountability of the police has been executed by a number of means- through politicians, elected mayors, appointed councilors, and at various times, loosely and under a modicum of close supervision. Goldstein rejects the premise of the professional school of thought that the police are ...

During this era, women were forced to return to their homes and continue with the maintenance of their domestic responsibilities. Their cultural roles were subject to much scrutiny. Actors were at the leading vanguard of cultural rebellion. In the process of their rejection of the American doctrines, the majority shifted their center of the art world to New York City.

Abstract

This paper examines the case of Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency, a 5-4 Supreme Court decision that combined the substantive, environmental law question of whether the Environmental Protection Agency erred in its initial decision not to regulate greenhouse gas emissions for motor vehicles with the procedural issue of whether states, cities, and environmental organizations had legal standing (defined as the right to use the courts as opposed to Congress to force governmental action) for the environmental claims at issue in the case. This paper begins with a brief overview of the political, legal, and cultural context for assessing the ...

Alignment of the single-sex admission policy of Virginia Military Institution (VMI) aligns with the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was the issue raised in United States v. Virginia. VMI has been an all-male institution since its inception in 1839. In deciding that the single-sex admission policy of VMI violated the equal protection clause, the majority opinion relied on ‘intermediate scrutiny’ test applied in the prior case of Mississippi University for Women v. Hogan. In the Hogan case, the Court employed the ‘intermediate scrutiny’ test, but applied this in terms of the ‘exceedingly persuasive justification’ standard. The standard ...

It needs to be reckoned that literature goes on to mirror the society and the culture.

Literary works have always been the mirrors of the society. In a society that is immensely patriarchal in its standards, many significant literary works have come to critique the subjugation of women. One can take into consideration the seminal literary works, The Awakening, by Kate Chopin and Henrik Isben’s A Doll’s House that delve into the influences of the society and the family in oppressing women. The female protagonists embody the inner spirit of female empowerment that is brought about by the surmounting effect of the patriarchal influences as Edna faces social pressure and Nora faces onus ...

Introduction

Social control theories emerged in the early 1900s which questioned why not all humans commit crimes. Unlike the criminology theories that examine why an individual commits criminal activity, the social control theories focus on how certain individuals refrain from it. There were several notable sociologists who expressed their ideas on how the society and its traditions can ensure that an individual will conform to a law-abiding lifestyle. They identified two types of controls in their theories. Informal and formal control. The informal control mechanisms are family, friends, or their individual social circles. The formal control is from the Government ...
