Essays on Suspicion

Introduction The term ‘privacy’ refers to an individual’s ability to seclude themselves thereby expressing themselves selectively. It, therefore, means that something is sensitive or simply special to a person. Privacy also limits who accesses the places, things or body of another person, hence making it about an individual’s control and security to things like their bank details and medical records. Privacy is thus important to human dignity in all societies as it is a human right of every individual. However, technology is turning out to be a threat to privacy due to its integration to human lives ...

In order to complete the Portfolio Project, I have chosen the topic “Racial Profiling by the Police: What are the Critics Missing” for my research. Racial profiling, like many aspects of criminal justice has its opponents and supports. Opponents of racial profiling, such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the define racial profiling as the “discriminatory practice of law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on the individual’s race or ethnicity” (ACLU, 2015). Racial profiling critics argue that police, rather than basing their actions on an analysis of the facts and circumstances ...

The broad range of interviewed young Muslims feel alienated, suspected, if not traumatized (Semple). For women, raised unaware of earlier stigmatization right after 9/11 of Muslims, a hijab has become a mark of social alienation, if not anti-Muslim sentiments. Indeed, according to different accounts given by young Muslim women of different cultural backgrounds, putting on a hijab and, for that matter, being a Muslim has not only made young Muslim women feel increasingly pressured as peers in class and neighborhood cast more suspicions on people – Them – coming from elsewhere and spreading violence and alien ideologies, particularly in recent months ...

CCTV is now a well-recognised way of preventing crime and monitoring private and public spaces.

This paper highlights the historic, economic, environmental, relationships, education and morals of the technology arguing that there are both arguments and counter arguments for CCTV’s effectiveness and its critics. CCTV was installed by Siemens in 1942 to test military V2 rockets in ...

When officers make an arrest or bring someone in for questioning they either need probable cause or reasonable suspicion. These two terms seem similar but they do have some differences. The two phrases are key for an officer to know when it is okay to stop someone and ask questions, search, and arrest the individual. Without either of these then there would be no grounds to do so. If a person is stopped, searched, questioned or arrested by law enforcement without grounds then this would be considered a violation of the individuals’ constitutional rights. “The Supreme Court declares that ...

Police corruption is a huge issue that has been happening around the world. Police have contaminated and planted evidence in the past to ensure a conviction of an innocent person. This is not how police are supposed to conduct themselves, and allegations of corruption in the force are taken seriously.

Once case that has been in the national spotlight is a police corruption case that ...

There exists a parasitic relationship between the media and celebrities. Celebrities, especially movie stars need the media to either stay in the limelight or promote their new movies. Coverage of celebrity stories and scandals increase circulation and an increased number of visits to the website. When a famous movie star is involved with a controversial cult and gets divorced, speculation is rife about the influence of the cult in the divorce and this was what happened in the case of Tom Cruise’s divorce from Katie Holmes. Given media’s predilection to cover scandals especially on controversial religious sects ...

Hyperactivity is a champion amongst the most puzzling terms in psychopathology. The perplexity develops in light of the way that it is a term that genuinely insinuates two sorts of issues.

Abstract

Generally, individuals have reasonable expectations of personal privacy and discretion in their houses. Probable cause is essentially a standard by which an agent of the law seeks to apply for a warrant of arrest, conduct a personal or property search, make an arrest or perform other legal processes while contemplating criminal charges. In various jurisdictions such as the United States probable cause can also be used to denote the standard to which the grand jury considers that an offense has been committed (Mitchell, 2012). Basically, the right to security of persons and their property is not to be interfered without a convincing reason.

Probably the main peculiarity of the warrantless vehicle searches cases is that the question of the existence of the probable cause is left to the discretion of the law enforcement officers. Police officers make their decisions on the basis of the information that is presented to them, and only they are in power to decide whether that information is trustworthy and reliable enough to constitute a probable cause for the arrest or search.

Rule of Law

In Brinegar vs. United States the Supreme Court paid a particular attention to the question of existence of a probable cause in case of a warrantless search of a vehicle. The ...

In finding the correlation and association between two numerical variables, determined sets of information must be as accurate as possible. Otherwise, discrepancies in results and intended/unintended statistical manipulation could change the course of a mathematically involved study. For me, two factors could change the course and the outcome of a specific research in a major way – these variables are known as measurements and biased sampling.

Measurements and biased sampling correlate with one another in data extraction. However, inaccurate measurements unintentionally or intentionally done are different. Measurements based on estimation and inaccurate are also different depending on mathematical circumstances. Measurements are variables ...

Question one

Science fiction is a sub- class of the horror film. Science fiction films sometimes often get confused with horror films. These two genres complement each other, and they have similarities because science fiction is said to have got adopted from traditional horror films.

Victims in horror films are shown as helpless completely, while science fiction shows the victims with more resilience. Alien a science fiction film of 1979 shows aliens getting defeated by technology and weapons. While the thing a horror film produced in 1982 ...

The negative effects of some global economic practices on the planet and society’s health prompted voluntary organizations to establish frameworks that aim at standardizing CSR initiatives (Benn & Bolton, 2011). There is a lack of a worldwide-standardized CSR governance structure and the voluntary organization frameworks attempt to come up with these structures. A challenge that would undermine the goal of voluntary organization networks and similar initiatives is the political interference of corporations in the implementation of policies that would negatively affect their business returns.

Molloy College Abstract Lung cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States today. While smoking is a significant risk factor, there are other causes of the disease. Second-hand smoke, exposure to radon gas and asbestos, and possibly other environmental contaminants act in conjunction with gender and ethnicity to result in a diagnosis of lung cancer. Numbers indicate that more non-smokers are being diagnosed with lung cancer at this time than non-smokers due to development of the disease after cessation. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly extend the life of the lung cancer patient while studies continue seeking ...

The structural approach to address the question of safety in schools stem from the realization that schools must make the issue of safe environment where students feel secure in their personal belonging and person becomes a collective responsibility.

According to Sindhi (2013), it is evident that the underlying principles of the Fourth Amendments manifest a legal consideration on which the rights of students to be free from unreasonable searches is considered in ...

Conclusions and Recommendations

Major Findings In addition, both management and workers were not appropriately aware of control measures that were supposedly designed for implementation by Company XYZ to prevent any accidents regarding pipelines.

Finally, although there was apparent visual inspection undertaken by supervisors or managers upon reports made by the workers, no documentation, nor concrete action to address the suspicion had apparently been reported to be undertaken ...

Since time immemorial security, agencies have been practicing the act of stopping and frisking people when they suspect that victims might be armed or have illicit materials. For example, in the Terry v. Ohio (1868), Terry a police officer saw three men who looked suspicious and acting in a manner likely to suggest they wanted to rob.

Intelligence Failure: The Iraq War

Introduction Failure in a country’s Intelligence system often leads to devastating outcomes. The Americans and the British experienced Intelligence failure concerning the issue of Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

Poe’s ‘The Tell-Tale Heart can be described as a short story that hovers around the theme of crime and murder, and the short movie also justifies the duration of the story. The movie is more of a narrative; the protagonist is seen continuously describing his mind and moves directly to the camera. The movie can be categorized as being quantitative because of the attitude of the protagonist right through the movie. He says that he has no personal hatred for the old man, but it’s his vulture’s eyes that seem to make him go cold inside. This instigates ...

It is not an untold secret that both government and people are bind together in an interdependent relationship. It means that that there is a reciprocal relationship between the government and the citizens that demands a give and take approach (Callahan 174). Just as citizens are liable to follow the laws and rules and regulations set up by the government; the government is also answerable to the citizens for all its actions. As far as citizens are concerned, I think that this collaborative association with the government tests them to find the time and to remain involved for the betterment ...

Q.1 The five basic assumptions of positivism in law are realism, objectivity, scientific evidence, and ultimate proof is unattainable. The realism operates in order to impress investigators to face the reality without letting their emotions cloud their judgments. The objectivity wants them to focus on objectives without getting hurt from the presence of obstacles and problems in the way of solving the crime. The good investigator always follows the evidence because it does not lie, but people do in order to hide their wrongdoings. The final assumption argues that ultimate proof is not possible to be found, and ...

Illegal Immigrants in the United States of America can are the classic victim of media stereotype emanating out of the classification of immigrants into various criminal categories on account of strict anti-immigration laws.

As and by way of illustration, in a worsening economy, when jobs are few and far off, the government adopts protectionist policies and consequently makes the strong anti-immigration laws. This might not be the case in a thriving economy where jobs ...

Introduction

Racial profiling has been a national problem for America for a long time despite claims that the nation has passed that era. Racial profiling occurs every day everywhere across America when people of color are targeted by private security and law enforcement for frightening detentions, searches and interrogations without evidence that they are criminals. The detentions, searches and interrogations are usually based on perceived race, ethnicity, national origin or religion. Race and location are dominant characteristics that authorities look at when engaging in this type of profiling. This paper will give an understanding of racial profiling, the legislations and case laws ...

The Criminal Justice Professionals often than not find themselves in situations that present dilemmas as they go about with their law enforcement duties. An example of such a scenario is the arbitrary stopping and frisking of individuals by Police in their efforts to apprehend criminals and prevent crime. The rights of the community in such a scenario are violated and coincide with law enforcement duties. It is prudent to understand that achieving this balance between the duty and right poses a great challenge for any law enforcer (Braswell, McCarthy, & McCarthy, 2014). In recent times, there has been a growing perception that the Police ...
