...Marc Maier CJA/474 December 2, 2013 Terry Smart Values Reflection Values are the reflection of who a person is and how he or she sustains a fulfilling life. Values are not the same for everyone as each has inherited inadvertently his or her own values based on his or her environment and the influences that surround a person's life. The student will share her core values in what she believes from growth and development as a child to an adult. The student will view how others acquire and change his or her values. In addition, the student will describe what values do for us and what values do to individuals. Moreover, the importance of human values in the workplace. Core Values Core values are what a person believes and how strong we hold these values in acceptance to who the student is as a person. The student's personal values are similar in what she believed in adolescence. The knowledge and learning of values I obtained as a child was not one's the student wished to carry with her as an adult or throughout her lifespan. Individuals who helped influence my values were not part of my family growing up but rather, the influences were from teachers and other friend’s parents. Through learning experiences as a child and becoming an adult the student has sustain and upheld positive values throughout her life but not without change. Values important to me is integrity, honesty, respect, leadership, putting others before myself, paying it forward to the less fortunate...

...Captain Edith Strong Jennifer Mathiesen CJA/474 Managing Criminal Justice Personnel June 10, 2013 Mark Weissmann Captain Edith Strong Captain Edith Strong is an 18 year law enforcement veteran and is currently the watch commander of a Field Operations Division in the city of Rogerville; a city that covers 65.4 square miles and has more than 101,000 citizens. The Field Operations Division is mostly made up of White males. There is a definitive chain of command and each job is clear-cut and each officer follows his or her job description religiously. Deviation of a job description always result in disciplinary action, which typically results in a write up. This division takes care of 62% of the departments’ measurable workload, yet has 58% of the manpower. Within the division there is a lieutenant who serves as an assistant, three lieutenants who serve as watch commanders, one traffic sergeant who oversees six officers, a neighborhood police unit sergeant who oversees 10 officers, three school reserve officers, and 71 patrol officers. Officers with specialized assignments have more job satisfaction and higher morale mostly because these officers can interact with other officers and create meaningful relationships. However, almost every patrol officer is dissatisfied because of an endless workload, which leads these officers to cut corners to complete everything in one shift. Additionally, because of department policy no more than two officers can meet at a time, outside...

...In the case study of Captain Edith Strong, the department and the employees are experiencing many issues. First of all, employees are viewing jobs as dissatisfying. The morale is low. The response time for a call for assistance is long. Citizen complaints are at an all-time high. More officers are filing disability claims. Employee turner is exceeding projections. The situation has become critical and makes the department seems if they are not performing to the proper standard. Police departments are expected to perform efficiently, effectively and productively. This issue needs to be addressed immediately. As the captain, Edith Strong is responsible for addressing this problem. The philosophical approach Captain Strong should take is to focus on the root of the program. She needs to figure out some measures to take in order to figure out what is causing the problem in order to solve the problem in a timely manner. In this case, Captain Strong needs to work directly with her patrol officers to see why they view the job as dissatisfying and why the morale is so low. Officers say that they feel the workload is excessive. This could be seen as a staffing issue. Maybe the Captian could look into the budget for hiring more officers. Officers are not allow to take breaks and lunches together. In order, for the morale to be boosted, officers have to have a time to fraternize with one another. Maybe she could allow more than one officer to take lunch at a time. In addition, she could...

... Motivation and morale are internal influences that come from within each however, external sources and either help or hinder moral and motivation. In this case study of Captain Edith Strong, this is an example of how motivation and morale can suffer when employees are disgruntled. Captain Strong is placed in a common position where she has to figure out a way to raise motivation and morale while keeping the organization running and not compromise mission success. The problem Captain Edith is facing is that patrol officers view their jobs as dissatisfying due to the lack of communication and time with other officers, which causes increased citizen complaints, longer response times, officer filing for work compensation, and rapid employee turnover. What philosophical approach do you believe Captain Strong should take in carrying out this project? In organizations where the workplace environment sets high morale and have motivated employees is typically the one where employees feel as though they are being treated fairly. Captain Strong is faced with a tough situation, she has to focus on the accomplishing the goals of the organization all while supporting the officers in her department, supporting their professional and personal goals and development. The Synergistic supervision approach would be best to use for Captain Strong’s situation. I believe this is the best approach because it allows supervision and the employees to collaborate on what would be the best way to accomplish...

...Case Study Captain Edith Strong By Rita Goforth March 3, 2014 CJA/ 474 Professor Mathew Workman Introduction In many law enforcement agencies across the United States there are issues with not having significant resources, enough manpower, little funding, and so on. While all of these issues are important to address and fix, a high turnover rate because officers are simply miserable in their jobs is another big concern for many Captains in many departments. This issue unless taken seriously and dealt with immediately can cause detrimental effects on the department as well as the community. When officers are miserable on the job their work suffers and with that so does the public. It is important for supervisors to take every measure they can to prevent and or fix these issues if it is within their control, in the event it is not within their control but is a problem the officer may be having personally they can suggest resources or other people that may be able to help with the situation. Project Approach When dealing with this problem there are many possibilities Captain Strong can pursue that will benefit the department, the officers, and the community. One way of dealing with this issue can mean, creating a program so that officers are not always working alone and have more opportunity to interact with other officers. By motivating officers to achieve goals and empowering them in their tasks at work Captain Strong will be able to raise morale and job satisfaction...

With this brief explanation, the tale is commended to the kindness of the reader; 'Beseking hym lowly, of mercy and pite, Of its rude makyng to have compassion.' ____ 5 ELIZABETH GASKELL 6 NORTH AND SOUTH CHAPTER I 'HASTE TO THE WEDDING' 'Wooed and married and a'.' dith!' said Margaret, gently, 'Edith!' But, as Margaret half suspected, Edith had fallen asleep. She lay curled up on the sofa in the back drawing-room in Harley Street, looking very lovely in her white muslin and blue ribbons. If Titania had ever been dressed in white muslin and blue ribbons, and had fallen asleep on a crimson damask sofa in a back drawingroom, Edith might have been taken for her. Margaret was struck afresh by her cousin's beauty. They had grown up together from childhood, and all along Edith had been remarked upon by every one, except Margaret, for her prettiness; but Margaret had never thought about it until...

...PAVILION IV GOD'S FOOL V THE MIRACLE VI "ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? NO!" VII THE GAME LOVE STORIES TWENTY-TWO I The Probationer's name was really Nella Jane Brown, but she was entered in the training school as N. Jane Brown. However, she meant when she was accepted to be plain Jane Brown. Not, of course, that she could ever be really plain. People on the outside of hospitals have a curious theory about nurses, especially if they are under twenty. They believe that they have been disappointed in love. They never think that they may intend to study medicine later on, or that they may think nursing is a good and honourable career, or that they may really like to care for the sick. The man in this story had the theory very hard. When he opened his eyes after the wall of the warehouse dropped, N. Jane Brown was sitting beside him. She had been practising counting pulses on him, and her eyes were slightly upturned and very earnest. There was a strong odour of burnt rags in the air, and the man sniffed. Then he put a hand to his upper lip--the right hand. She was holding his left. "Did I lose anything besides this?" he inquired. His little moustache was almost entirely gone. A gust of fire had accompanied the wall. "Your eyebrows," said Jane Brown. The man--he was as young for a man as Jane Brown was for a nurse--the man lay quite still for a moment. Then: "I'm sorry to undeceive you," he said. "But my right leg is off." He said it lightly, because that is...

...NORTH AMERICAN FICTION BRIEF INTRODUCTION: Before starting our study of American Fiction we must understand what American Literature is in itself and which pieces of writing we can include within this label. It is believed that when a piece is written in North America, more precisely in the USA, it would automatically be given this epithet. But it should be taken into account that this idea is quite broad and doesn’t reflect the real essence of the term. However, there is also another definition that gathers this essence: American Literature is the one that represents the Americanism, the singularity of the USA philosophy and culture. This way, instead of focusing on who the author is, it is focused on the content of the writing. In that which concerns Fiction, the following documents are the ones considered as narrative: Speeches Letters Short Stories Essays Political Documents Sermons Novels Diaries 1 FIRST LITERARY EXPRESSIONS The first documents in which the idea of Americanism is very present are the Sermons. They respond to the strict Protestantism settled in the New Continent after the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers and Puritans in the Mayflower (1620) and the Arabella (1630). They established a theocratic community whose main and only point of reference was the Bible. That is why the idea of the ‘city upon a hill’ is still very present in American mentality. As we all know...
