Abstract

Instances of inordinate use of force by police elements have generated a number of heated and fierce debates in American society. The tragic shootings of police elements of African American teenagers Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown as well as other instances of unconscionable use of force by police officers have triggered calls for increased transparency and accountability from elements of the police. “Body cams” are one of these policies, the argument being if the police officers know their movements are being monitored, this will dissuade them from considering committing instances of inordinate use of force. Nevertheless, these calls for Continue reading...

An Insight on Police Brutality and Racial Discrimination

Police misconduct and brutality continues to generate headlines as monthly controversial cases intensified the people’s unrest. Last year signalled the height of the outrage following the consecutive deaths of three African American citizens in the hands of the police and recently, another one was shot down in a routine traffic stop.
In Staten Island New York on July 2014, Eric Garner was apprehended by the police by selling loose and untaxed cigarettes on the streets. As the police put him on chokehold, he pleaded for the officers to loosen up but to no avail. His plea for life Continue reading...

Introduction

In July 2014, Eric Garner had a confrontation with the police enforcers, suspected him of selling loose and illegal cigarettes. Garner was forcefully arrested, and during the arrest, for eleven times, Garner said, “I cannot breathe” . Apparently, Garner had a total loss of the air supply and blood circulation and died due to chokehold made by the police officer. In the Justice department, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has expanded the rules of racial profiling. Holder’s reason in the expanded rules for racial profiling is to strongly prevent the Federal Bureau of Investigation or FBI agents from Continue reading...

Leadership is important in every situation however when it comes to policing leadership skills are required. Having the ability to successfully lead is necessary because this skill can be the determining factor in a police department’s ability to succeed internally and externally. Leadership skills can be found throughout the police department from the police officers who are setting an example for the community to the supervisor or chief of the department that is in charge of all of the officers below him or her. To understand what it takes to possess the correct leadership qualities it is important Continue reading...

The police are an important component of the United States Criminal Justice system. Contact with police is the only personal experience most people have with the criminal justice process. A majority of the people have never been to prisons, jails, or courthouses. Police roles involve working in unsafe, dangerous and hostile environments. In the United States Criminal Justice system, there exist many unresolved matters especially in matters related to policing. The unresolved issues impact greatly to the quality of life of the people and the safety of neighborhoods across the entire nation. It is fundamental that the issues are Continue reading...

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to explain the factors that cause ethical dilemmas for the police. The paper also intends to propose the ways of solving the ethical dilemmas for the police. As the paper’s findings show, the police face moral dilemmas when their fellow police officers and bosses are involved in illegal and unethical practices. The officers do not report such occurrences because they fear. Also, the officers face situations where the law contradicts ethical practices. Certain situations are emergent and the police may have to violate the law so that they prevent crime. However, there Continue reading...

Public and Private Police forces; a comparison

It can be said that the law enforcement vista is swiftly changing. Police forces, both from the public and private sector, are increasing their levels and areas of collaboration. This instance poses possibilities for conflict as well as convenience (Australian Institute of Police Management, n.d., p. 1). Favorable outcomes in community policing agendas are dependent on building and strengthening partnerships. Aggressively looking for new avenues for cooperation allows for opportunities for the development of new approaches in issue resolution. Specifically, collaborations between private and public policing agencies are one avenue that is ripe for improving community policing initiatives and Continue reading...

Introduction

Law enforcement is an essential component of civilized society because they ensure that society exists under an environment of peace and order. However, every country has its own policing structure and strategy. This essay compares the United States policing system and the Japanese policing system and shows that although there are similarities, especially in theory, the two systems are vastly different because of the underlying legal and traditional structures. The comparison is based on three factors: history, current practices, and nature and structure.

History

The history of American policing is rooted in the English model. During colonial times, watch groups Continue reading...

Commonly known as COPS, Community Oriented Police officers are important in the police department. There are two major types of COPS; Patrol and Foot PatrolDra14. The significant difference between the two is how involved they are with the community. Foot patrol has more contact with the community than Patrol officers. Community policing involves the interaction between the police and the community. With ears on the field, the police and the community can work together to fight crime. Their ability to move around the neighborhood communicating with the residents helps the other high ranking officers in their pursuit of crime.

The police authorities are responsible for maintaining peace and order and Travis (2012) cited them as the most visible representatives of the presence of the government in the community. Being the legitimate authority in imposing the law, research literature provides that the current role of the police are not mainly devoted in imposing criminal law and crime control activities. They spend more time interacting with the community members than attending on criminal matters. Some of the non-law enforcement activities of the police authorities involve crowd control during major events or parades and providing assistance in road accidents. These situations Continue reading...

The United States has a fragmented system of law enforcement. Its federal system of government creates a dual system of government where the federal system co-exists with the state system. The co-existing systems are established under the 10th Amendment, which provides that “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” As a result, law enforcement exists at the federal to enforce federal laws, while another law enforcement system exists at the state, which is also empowered to create political Continue reading...

Abstract

Racial profiling may be legally allowed in certain cases in the United States, but research suggests that it is does not have a positive impact on the country as a whole. The legal and law enforcement systems in the United States rely too heavily upon the idea of racial profiling in many ways, and the system should be re-evaluated to ensure that it can adequately survive without the implementation of unfair and discriminatory practices by law enforcement personnel. Law enforcement personnel who commit racial profiling offenses should also be educated and monitored to ensure that they do not continue Continue reading...

Introduction

Policing went through a long evolutionary process. From the self-organized voluntary groups of citizens to keep watch over the peace and order of their communities in the early days, policing today boasts of highly professional officers capable of mingling and collaborating with members to community to solve problems even before the turn into crimes. Today, community policing is the buzzword – an approach at policing that integrates the community into crime fighting. This report looks at the history of policing, the several distinctive eras it went through, as well as the elements and components that make up modern policing to Continue reading...

Introduction

In the majority of criminal justice systems, there are flaws that hinder the ordinary citizen from accessing justice. Due to this flaws innocent citizens are imprisoned and even others executed. United States, for instance, there is a lot of injustice going on in the justice corridors; this is always on the basis of poverty that is when one is unable to pay their bill fees or any payment. Taking an example of the State of Ohio it illegally scores the poor citizens and throws them behind bars such as the case of Jacky Dawley had fines and cost in Continue reading...

Policing of Prostitution and Drugs in Contemporary China

History of Policing in Prostitution and Drugs
Though “underage female prostitution” has been recorded for years, the crime of “Engaging in Prostitution with an Underage Girl,” or (EPUG), in the context of modern day China is firmly anchored in the chronological, developmental and societal structure of China. To fully comprehend the context of the crime of EPUG, there must be an examination and evaluation of the prevailing Chinese judicial system.
Here, it is deduced that the existing judicial system being operated in the country is deficient with regards to protecting children from abuse, and it has been also found Continue reading...

Police have a dangerous and important job, and are paid to serve and protect their communities (Reiseg & Kane, 2014). However, recent high profile altercations involving police shooting unarmed suspect has created a national debate on police brutality, racial profiling, and the limits of police power (Kirby, 2015, Tyler &Jackson, 2014). There has been a public outcry and protests over the Michael Brown shooting, with a growing number of Americans believing the police are out of control. The FBI releases data on recorded homicides by police officers, but participation is voluntary, and many law enforcement agencies do not participate. Independent Continue reading...

Question No. 1

There are many roles that a police officer takes in society, but the most important one is that of a community leader in public safety. A community leader in public safety (Haley and Bohm 2014, p. 185) is one who the public sees and presumes as the ultimate authority that ensures that the streets are safe to walk in especially at night, that their children can play and frolic around in public parks, go to and come home from school unscathed and that their right to the privacy of their homes are respected. This police role is the bond Continue reading...

Impacts of Surveillance Cameras on Crime: Privacy in exchange for security?

Local governments across the United States are constantly looking for an efficacious public safety interposition that will provide a bi-fold effect on society. One, this public intervention should help in restraining crime and two, enhance the economic welfare and the sustainability of neighborhoods in the nation. Though the prevailing law enforcement philosophy remains to be anchored on “community policing” strategies, which is believed to be a potent and sufficient police strategy, law enforcement units are still hard put to cope with the increasing demands of curbing crime; here, the use of new systems and mechanisms that can help “community Continue reading...

The US law enforcement model is best described as a fragmented system. The absence of a national police force in the US results in a system where law enforcement exists at all levels: federal, state, and local levels. As of 2009, about 16,224 law enforcement agencies exist in the state and local levels and about 34 major law enforcement agencies in the federal level (Conser et al 2011, pp. 80, 90). The distribution of police in the different levels is as follows: 82% in the local level, 10% in the state level and 8% in the federal level ( Continue reading...

Question 1

It is evident that the “War on Drugs” disproportionately affects the women and especially the women of color. The “war on drugs” greatly affects women and families who have been the victims of mandatory minimum sentences and criminalization of females addicted to drugs among other policies. Subsequently, the number of the women in federal prison due to the nonviolent drug offenses in noticeably increasing. Therefore, this illustrates that the “war on drugs” is in a way a war against women.
There are three main factors that have shown the association between the “war on drugs” and War on women.” Continue reading...

Motorcycle clubs are a group of bikers aspiring after freedom and using motorcycles and a rebellious lifestyle as a means of setting themselves free from social confines. Still, when they get loose, they come untied from restraining shackles of social decency. When they do, a social menace arises since they step on the path of criminal activities. While some reputed, respectable, and law-abiding citizens take to riding a bike, they do it for no purpose other than to entertain themselves in a socially acceptable way. Club members classified as criminal engaged in a wide range of illegal and proscribed Continue reading...

In the classical study, The American Jury, Kalven, and Zeisel indicated that to about 75% to 80% the judges concur with the juries in criminal cases. They observed that a few disagreements happened when the evidence was clear. Kalven and Zeisel agreed that judges were more lenient and soft on such cases and termed them as normal disagreements. To further explain the normal disagreements and others, they quantified the effect of factor well known as population attributed risk.
Data was collected from 1977 to 2005 in North Carolina to test whether extralegal factors on the defendant of the victim Continue reading...

Illicit Drug Decriminalization, Legalization, and Stricter Control Policy

The criminal investigating process is a very important aspect of the criminal justice system and so much is dependent on it. It provides, for example, for the foundation of the prosecution and conviction of criminals. A solid and fruitful criminal investigation, therefore, significantly impacts the potential doom or success of a criminal case. Aside from aiding prosecution, criminal investigation also serves other important goals, such as the uncovering of a crime, the location and identification of suspects, the location, documentation and preservation of evidence, the arrest of suspects, and the return of stolen property. The police detective, thus, plays Continue reading...

It is bewildering that some of nature’s own organic products are considered illegal. For some reasons however, illegal drug use is promoted by reserving some safe abuse sites. Our society promotes and protects a flourishing alcohol industry which is to blame for widespread violent behavior and multiple deaths. This is not forgetting the tobacco industry which is also the cause of thousands of deaths annually. However, marijuana, nature’s own natural product is considered immoral and harmful. In many regions of North America, a small nugget of marijuana can possibly land one in jail for a longer period Continue reading...

Origins of the lack of empathy

The lack of empathy or psychopathy is a disorder that is most prevalent in the society and is common in prison inmates. Furthermore, one can conclude that an individual with tendencies of violence tends to have psychopathic traits. Psychopathy can be linked to both genes and the environmental surrounding. According to Patrick (2005), some genes have been investigated to be the reason why individuals become psychopaths. Some of the character traits of psychopaths such as manipulation, early reproduction have been linked to the Darwinians natural selection theory survival for the fittest. Using the natural selection perspective one can conclude Continue reading...

Incorporating Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development into the Justice System

Incorporating Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development into the Justice System
Ethics in different professionals is a significant aspect that requires special considerations to uphold integrity, transparency and accountability. The justice system includes law enforcement that is one of the highly affected areas when it comes to ethics. Kohlberg developed a model that helps in understanding the levels of moral development. This model can be used in ensuring that professional ethics is upheld at all times in the line of duty (McLeod, 2011). Therefore, this paper discusses how Kohlberg’s stages of moral development can be incorporated into the Continue reading...

Introduction

The utilization of deductively determined and demonstrated systems toward the protection, gathering, approval, recognizable proof, examination, understanding, documentation and presentation of computerized confirmation got from advanced hot spots with the end goal of encouraging or promoting the reproduction of occasions discovered to be criminal, or serving to foresee unapproved activities indicated to be troublesome to arranged operations. A specialist can see the records and registries of a suspect framework by utilizing either concentrated measurable programming or by utilizing the working framework of an investigation framework and survey the documents by mounting the drive. Both systems permit the examiner to Continue reading...

Over the course of time, there has been a general agreement among scholars and experts that the American Criminal justice system is hugely flawed. Although it is said to be the fairest and the most-justice oriented in the world, a thorough investigation and look into this system reveals a massive rot. There are several flaws that are identifiable in this system with the most prevailing one being racial discrimination. Data and statistics on issues such as criminal convictions and incarceration show that the system has not been fair to members from minority communities and consequently the system has been Continue reading...

In this scenario, I am the law enforcement scene commander at a convenience store robbery where the robbers have taken the customers and clerk hostage. A local television station is broadcasting the event live through a telephoto lens, and the robbers are watching the coverage on a television inside the store. This is an incredibly difficult situation with a great deal of complexity; my actions would have to be very carefully considered and examined. As the scene commander, it is up to me to make the major decisions that are necessary in order to prevent the hostage-takers from achieving Continue reading...

Introduction

There lacks a standard definition when it comes to gangs. Various scholars and research teams have come up with varied ways of looking at the term. The National Gang Center (2015) provides several terms that are synonymous with the word gang. These are street gang, youth gang and criminal street gang. Through these terminologies, two aspects stand out when talking about gangs. These are the street aspect and the street crimes. The first street aspect is all about the socialization process that takes place in the streets for the gangs, while the other crime aspects define what the gangs Continue reading...

Introduction

Electronic surveillance started as soon as electronic communication came into use. It dates back to the days of the civil war and the 1920s when law enforcement was enforcing prohibition. Whether it was telegraph or telephones, the government always found a way to tap into conversational exchanges. During the civil war, the Union had employed a team of telegraph engineers for the purpose of intercepting telegraph messages exchanged between Confederate forces. Ironically, the telegraph engineers employed by the Union were from American Telegraph and Telephone Company also known as AT&T. After the war, telephones became popular and with prohibition Continue reading...

Abstract

Violence between partners is a significant cause for medical treatment and injuries. Often these injuries are seen in the emergency room or they may be hidden from a medical profession. Nurses need to be aware of such injuries, not only in identifying them but having understanding of why they occur. Partner violence occurs between partners who are married, living together or intimately involved. The violence knows no gender or sexual orientation boundaries. The violence can take any form: of man on man; man on woman; woman on woman and woman on man. Stereotypes must be ignored and sensitivity needs Continue reading...

INTRODUCTION

A contentious topic of political and sociological debate, the legalization of marijuana has recently emerged as a significant issue and widely contested topic in public discourse and political debate today. Advocates of legalizing marijuana argue that current laws discriminate against particular social groups and violate the fundamental constitutional rights that allow individuals to smoke marijuana while endorsing the consumption of alcohol and/or tobacco (Bloomquist 346). The media, popular culture proponents of medical marijuana, and political leaders have conveyed somewhat confusing messages and ideas that pertain to the harmlessness and unfortunate ramifications caused by consuming marijuana. The states of Colorado Continue reading...

1. NCVS and the UCR
The Uniform Crime Report (UCR hereafter) and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS hereafter) are two ways with which crime in the country is measured. The main similarities between the two methods of measuring crime are their goals and the overlapping of some crimes measured by both. The UCR was devised to provide law enforcement agencies and other entities a picture of the nation’s crime rates. On the other hand, the NCVS was envisioned to complement the UCR in providing government agencies, including law enforcement, researchers, and other entities data and statistics on Continue reading...

The issue of public safety and individual rights cannot be separated from one another. One way or the other cases of actions targeted at improving public safety sometimes infringes on individual rights. Especially after the September 11 attacks, this trend has been on the rise. Further, some people have been willing to promote the cause for infringing individual rights to enhance public safety.

Racism remains one of the biggest social issues despite the many decades of civil rights talks and policies. Mainstream media still air a significant number of reports on racial attacks and slurs, hate groups, and many other examples that we witness in our day-to-day lives. Racism is defined as the ideology that is demonstrated through perceived superiority of one group of people over another through cultural heritage, ethnicity, color, or race. Usually, the ideology is manifested at an institutional, group, or individual level and tends to be a part of cultural inheritance (Lawrence, 2005). Social workers have since the Continue reading...

There are numerous ways people die, such as having heart attacks or being shot, and while sometimes the cause of death may be clear, it may be more problematic to categorize deaths. These categories include natural death, accidental death, suicide, and homicide. Natural deaths include people dying from natural causes, including cancer and strokes. Accidental deaths are cases in which unplanned and unexpected events occur and there is no evidence of intent to cause harm. Examples of accidental deaths are motor vehicle accidents, falls, and drowning. Suicide is an unnatural death in which a person intentionally ends their own Continue reading...

In preparing reports for compilation in the UCR system, individual agencies conduct two important processes – classifying and scoring. Classifying entails determining as to how crimes are to be categorized and reported to the UCR. Scoring, on the other hand, comes after classifying and involves counting the number of offenses and totaling them. Classification and scoring are based on the reports received by individual law enforcement agencies in cities, counties, states, and tribal groups that are voluntarily participating in the UCR Program. The offenses subject to reporting are limited and are classified as Part I and Part II offenses. Under Continue reading...

In the recent years we have witnessed a spate of wrongful convictions overturned by DNA evidence including those on death row. The primary reason why most of the exonerated were convicted initially was mistaken identification. The victim of a violent crime such as rape is usually traumatized by the incident and suffers a great deal of emotional damage even over several years after the crime. They are usually in severe shock and filled with shame due to the nature of the crime itself. Unless the crime was committed by someone they knew for a long time, it makes identification Continue reading...

Income inequality among African American women in US

Introduction
Discrimination was a legalized part of our society for the majority of our nation’s history. Our founding fathers failed to realize that such a problem would not only arise but also threaten our status as a tolerant and supportive culture. It was only until the sixteenth President and a Civil War between the northern and southern states that would effectively end slavery. However, equality was a totally different matter. Former slaves do not get to be desk mates right away. That would take even longer and only after the assassinations of quite a few popular civil rights Continue reading...

The term “Nazi” conjures up horrific images of German soldiers brutally murdering millions of Jews and other social groups German Nazis categorized as “non-Aryans.” The Holocaust has been called the darkest period of human history and the greatest crime against humanity that has hitherto been recorded in history. This methodical and systematic elimination of so-called “undesirables” was made possible by an amalgam of factors: ripe conditions in a war-torn Europe that enabled fascism to take form. * Despite national idiosyncrasies, Nazi Germany as the Third Reich and Fascist Italy, along with other fascist movements, retained many commonalities that allow for Continue reading...

Introduction

The discovery of natural resources is the beginning of a much needed reprieve for many governments, especially in the third world countries. This is because ideally, it occasions the beginning of a new era, an era of development that is spurred by the revenue from the exploitation of the natural resources. This is actually the case for very few countries. More precisely, battles over gold, silver, iron, coal, water, knowledge, gas, farming, diamonds and land have occurred over time; the end result being devastation for one country and wealth for the other. In this respect, natural resources have proven Continue reading...

In the wake of the escalating terrorism threat that targeted mainland USA and culminating in the unspeakable horror of the 9/11 incidents, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS hereafter) was created through the passage of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Twenty-two different federal departments and agencies were integrated into the new department to make homeland security more effective and efficient. Today, the following components constitute the DHS: US Citizenship and Immigration Services; United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP); United States Coast Guard (USCG); Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC); United States Immigration Continue reading...

Forensic Psychologist Investigator

Law enforcement resources are limited, but the volume and complexity of criminal threats remain high. This emphasizes the importance of intelligence driven policing and threat management, and I believe forensic psychologists have a central role in the new dispensation. The job of a forensic psychologist is to apply psychological threat assessments to aid in the identification, evaluation and management of elements that pose active or passive threats to others. According to Reno, Fisher, Robinson, Berennan, & Travis (1998), threat assessment is the process of collecting and gathering and evaluating information on individuals that may have the motive, interest, capability and Continue reading...

In the case of Arizona v. Gant, 556 U.S. 332, the Supreme Court upholds the suppression of plastic bag containing cocaine that was obtained from the vehicle of the accused as evidence, holding that it constitutes a violation of the Fourth Amendment against unreasonable search and seizure. The Constitutional provision under the Fourth Amendment requires that a valid warrant from the court must be secured when conducting arrests and searches. The conduct of search and seizures without going through a judicial process of securing a warrant that determines the probable cause of doing so is considered to be unreasonable Continue reading...
