...Jessica Couture 7/22/2012 CJS/210 Final: Future of policing paper The biggest issue that effects policing is technology. Technology is at a rise and growing at an incredible rate. Technology advancement gives criminals a whole new way or an easier way to commit crimes. Eventually technology is going to take away jobs from our police officers and other individuals working in law enforcement. We are no longer going to need police officers out on patrol monitoring traffic, we have high speed cameras to detect incident detection, and vehicle counting, traffic flow monitoring and even people who violate traffic laws like speeding, running red lights and stop signs. The technology only gets better with the better quality of surveillance camera on street corners. This trend is going to push for more cameras in high populated areas to maintain safely and order. They now have surveillance cameras with facial recognition so that the camera can identify you. These trends are either going to affect policing in a good way or a potentially be used against them because criminals these days are getting smarter with all this tech-savvy generation that we all live in. We are going to see more criminals of all ages young and old committing more crimes like internet fraud, financial crimes like embezzlement, bribery, credit card fraud, indentify theft and insider trading are just to name a few. The question is can law enforcement keep up with the latest trend of technology? Law enforcement...

Policing Paper Proper policing and its structure of the policing structure has always been under scrutiny from the past, present and the future. Most professionals in the criminal justice system search for that one specific strategy that will dramatically instill a positive structure for policing. According to (Walker, S., & amp ; Katz, 2011) “ Herman Goldstein’s approach to policing represents a proactive to policing, rather than a reactive approach to policing. Policing is more than just a response to 911 calls policing involves problem solving to identify recurring problems and developing strategies to reduce and eliminate recurring problems.” Structure or Problem- Solving Policing From 1980 Herman Goldstein upstarted a new structure of policing by solving problems and preventing specific...

...Criminal Justice Practices: Past, Present, and Future Evaluation Paper In today’s society the world relies heavily on policing within their community’ citizens around the world want to feel safe, some as they walk the streets during the day and others while they sleep in their beds at night. Once upon a time citizens felt a great deal safer than they do today. People were not afraid to leave their homes and take strolls through the neighborhood at night, whenever they felt like walking to get some fresh air, thanks to the police. The policing throughout the city and in the neighborhood s made citizens feel safe, people were not afraid to leave their homes and sit outside on their front porches. However, as time began to change the world, policing changed as well. In this paper this author will evaluate the past, present and future trends in the interface between components of the criminal justice system and criminal justice connections with surrounding society which involves policing in the United States of America. Sometimes it’s better to let the things in the past, stay in the past but not when it comes to policing, back in the late 1800s and early 1900s police made people feel safe within their community. Police officers would walk the streets patrolling the neighborhood, standing on street corners talking to the neighbors in the community and actually getting to...

...Individual Policing Functions Paper Monica Robinson University of Phoenix CJA/394 Individual Policing Functions Paper Policing has come a long way from the way it was decades ago. It has changed for the better even through there is still some room for more improvement. In policing today there are more officers, detectives, and other officials accounted for then there was in the past. Having all of these individuals within the criminal system, it has shape the government to provide better protection for its people. In policing in past and now in the present there are many different perspectives of policing functions. These functions stem from different levels of law enforcement which includes the local, state, and federal organizational levels. These are very important parts of the criminal justice system, because every individual within these levels must be sure to protect citizens, enforce law, and perform the duties that are required of them in order to keep the United States safe from criminals and terrorist attacks from other foreign countries that might try to attack the United States. As years have passed on within policing, there are many possible future changes that will have an effect in the field of policing. Within each level of policing there are many different roles in which every individual in the policing field must take part in if they are going to be on the law enforcement team.

...Aspects of Policing ROBERT COLOMBO INTRODUCTION TO POLICE THEORY AND PRACTICES/ CJA 214 05282011 MR. ALAN HAZEN Policing is a diverse and prestige way of life. Policing is a subculture within society that is held to a higher standard due to a job that requires one make decisions in reference to taking away free individuals constitutional rights. Within the cultures of the policing society there are rules, policies, and regulations that have to be followed in order to ensure the citizens are being treated fairly but also making sure the law is being enforced correctly and without “Color of Law” violations. Issues such as use of force, utilizing weapons in certain manners at certain times, using technology and resources to best of the abilities of the department and officers within them, and other issues in policing, especially dealing with homeland security. A lot of issues encompass the policing community. Policing or law enforcement is a dangerous way of life. An officer faces the unknown at all times and the results of the wrong technique performed or practiced could result in a disastrous outcome. No matter what the dangers an officer faces there are more and more citizens becoming police officers daily. “Amazingly, though, despite the dangers of the job and the mounting challenges they must face, more than 800,000 sworn law-enforcement officers across our nation put their lives at risk each and every day to keep America safe.” (Floyd, 2007) When an officer...

...The Future of Policing Christina Johnson CJS/210 September 14, 2014 Ronald Rucker University of Phoenix Policing in the United States has changed dramatically since it was first brought to the thirteen colonies from England. However, some of the issues faced then are being faced in policing today. There are also new trends that are prevalent, and these trends will continue to have lasting effects on the future of policing. Even though new trends improve policing overall, they can also cause more serious issues. It is crucial to continue making changes topolicing because it allows law enforcement officers to keep up with the rest of society, including the knowledge of new crime trends. This paper will describe the current trends and issues in policing and analyze possible solutions to improve policing tactics. One trend currently affecting policing is police-community relations. There is a strong emphasis now on community policing, which promotes trust and better relationships between police officers and community members, and less on the militaristic style (Stephens, 2005). Improving police-community relations not only accents the importance of diversity, but it reduces prejudice and discrimination by officers. Community policing helps build trust between the police and community members by relying on citizens to help fight crime. Hence, it is a type of proactive policing (Walker & Katz, 2011). By relying on citizens, police officers have a better chance at preventing...

... Topics- Predictive Policing By- Ardallah L Date-1/16/2013 This paper is prepared for the course CIS 500- Information Systems for Decision Making. Abstract: This paper will compare and contrast the application of information technology (IT) to optimize police departments’ performance to reduce crime versus random patrols of the streets. It will describe how COMSTAT as an information system (IS) implements the four (4) basic (IS) functions; and will discuss the fashion is which IT systems have made police departments more efficient in preventing and responding to crime. I will also explore the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunity , and Threats (SWOT) analysis. This is essential for police departments that intend to use the implementation of the new predictive policing. Introduction: For years, business have used data analysis to anticipate market conditions or industry trends and drive sales strategies. Police are using a similar data analysis tool to make their work more efficient. The idea is being called predictive policing. Predictive policing, in essence, is taking data from disparate sources, analyzing them and then using the results to anticipate, prevent and respond more effectively to future crime. COMPSTAT (COMPuter STATistics), an information system, uses...

...Critical Issues in Policing Lindsay R.V. Klamp CJA/214 – Introduction to Police Theory and Practices June 11, 2012 Melinda Allen University of Phoenix Critical Issues in Policing There are a number of critical issues when concering policing. This paper will discuss the dangers of policing and how it affects police officers; less-than-lethal weapons and the benefits that it has for officers and our community; past, present, and future technology of policing and some of the benefits that they entail; homeland security and law enforcements relationship, and police corruption. Dangers of Policing When you are in a position to protect the people and the community, your job generally will come with a large amount of risks. Every day that an officer steps out into the world to do his/her job; they are risking their lives for the sake of the community. Not only do police risk his/her lives, but also they are put at risk for a number of other dangers that are related to police work. A few of these dangers include: death, stress, physical damage to the body, mental damage to the mind and various health issues. One danger for police officers that which seem to be rising over the years is that police officers are being killed by perpetrators. According to statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 72 officers were killed by perpetrators in 2011, a 25% increase from the previous year and a 75% increase from 2008. The 2011 deaths were the first time that more...

COMPSTAT uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map the locations of where crimes occur, identify “ hotspots”, and map problem areas. COMPSTAT has amassed a wealth of historical crime data. Mathematicians have designed and developed algorithms that run against the historical data to predict future crimes for police departments. This is known as predictive policing. Predictive policing has led to a drop in burglaries, automobile thefts, and other crimes in some cities. Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you: 1.

As today’s technology changes so does the way the criminal justice field interacts with that technology. As our society changes the technology that we use will also be altered to fit the situation. The barriers that come along can affect how the criminal justice field interprets what to do next. The basis of the criminal justice system is to protect and serve the community as a whole. Keeping up with the changes in society is a vital part of our criminal justice. Within this paper there will be an examination of the barriers as it relates to females in the criminal justice field as well as minorities in particular roles and departments. Furthermore, it will evaluate the current and future trends that affect the criminal justice as designed and defined in regards to the evolution of technology and a forever changing society. However, as time began to change the world, policing changed as well.

I will also focus on any anticipated critical issues that could affect policing in the future and changes that are needed to effectively address those critical issues. American policing has revolutionized enormously since the 1800’s. Policing for America began with the colonist bringing the rural community police methods that observed the scattered parishes, and while under this type of configuration one man from that specific county was responsible for serving a term of one-year as constable. During that time policing worked well but as towns became more colonized and the blossom of prosperity resulted into illegal wrongdoings. Even though, American policing was configured as a quasi-military with the task to prevent crime and being conspicuous while on patrol was an pure imitation of London’s contemporary policing, the organization of government control over the police force was different from London’s patrol the United States were self-govern and with this policing became more time-consuming, dangerous, and less attractive (Walker, S., & Katz, C. M. 2011). The three eras American policing comprised of political, professional, and conflicting pressures and those eras ranged from the 1830 are to 1900’s. The old conventional eras of policing consisted of police patrolling without any proper...

...Policing Functions Paper Dana Gurley CJA 394 April 29, 2013 Don Frederick Policing Functions Paper According to The Free Dictionary (2013), policing is defined as to regulate, control, or keep in order with or as if with a law enforcement agency. Policing is at city, county, state, and federal levels with the United States, each have different roles and responsibilities. Policing has advanced so much from starting with night watchmen who were just citizens, to community policing being an occupation. Society is always advancing making the criminal justice system which includes policing to keep up with the advancements. As a police officer whether it be at a city, county, state, or federal level risk their lives daily to keep society in order by protecting and enforcing the laws. There are also private security industries that employ law enforcement officers as well. Local police department is a general purpose law enforcement agency which consists of both county, and town or city (Bureau of Justice Statistics, n.d.). Tribal police are also classified as local police. Municipal or city police are the most important component of American law enforcement. Municipal police play a more complex role than any other type of law enforcement agency. As a city police department has the heaviest responsibility for dealing with serious crime which is located within the cities (Walker & Katz, Chapter 3, The Contemporary Law Enforcement Industry, 2008). Not only with the responsibilities...

...Introduction In recent years, the idea of predictive policing, or the use of statistics and data to make policing decisions, has become widely popular in the United States. As police departments faced reduced budgets, improving efficiency in how they work to prevent crime is of great importance (Goode, 2011). However, predictive policing also create a focus on accountability, which has caused some police officers to respond negatively to such pressures (Willis, Mastrofski & Weisburd, 2003). The purpose of this paper is to briefly examine predictive policing and how tools such as COMPSTAT allow police departments to respond more efficiently to criminal activity. Information Technology vs. Random Patrols Before discussing specific issues involving the use of COMPSTAT as part of predictive policing, it is important to compare and contrast the use of information technology as a way of optimizing police department performance with the more traditional use of random street patrols. The use of information technology applications and performing random street patrols are actually similar because both methods of identifying and responding to crime are intended to examine the events and conditions that exist in a particular area so that criminal activity can be prevented before it actually occurs (Bratton & Malinowski, 2008). In essence, regardless of whether information technology applications or random street patrols are used, the overall goal is to be positioned in a way that...
