...of the PRI to the liberal democracy initiated by the election victory of the National Action Party, (PAN), candidate, Vicente Fox, in 2000, disrupted the status quo. Election gains by PAN Representatives disrupted long standing agreements between the cartels and government officials which led to the increased violence that exists today. This paper will explore the history of the relationship between the cartels and the PRI. The effect of the increased violence from the cartels inhibits the efforts of PAN party officials to establish a lasting democracy. Literature Review Research shows the three distinct stages in the development of a cohesive relationship between drug cartels and government in Mexico and identifies the political and economic conditions that have allowed the drug trade to thrive. Comparing Mexico with Columbia, another narcotics state, provides an additional case study on the subject matter and highlights actions utilized successfully. A review of the current political and military efforts to curtail corruption within the government provides a point of reference to facilitate an informed view of the current status. Research cannot predict the outcome of the battle for establishment of a lasting democracy, but seeks to suggest possible outcomes dependent on future elections and success of current political efforts. The following literature review traces the history of the drug trade from post revolutionary Mexico after the turn of...

...Cultural Considerations This paper is going to discuss different culture concerns, and what the influences are in today’s society within the criminal justice system. Also, this paper will talk about how to attend to different culture concerns, security administration, and how influences affect the criminal justice system. Some of the other points that are going to be touched up on are contemporary methods that are used in societies of assorted cultures, how these different influences and considerations related to and affect nondiscrimination practices within the criminal justice system. Last but not least, this paper is going to go over Sir Roberts Peel’s nine principles, and how they coincide within today’s police forces. The military employment across the countries in the Middle East and Europe has brought police forces into question. The local police forces have their own way of training that is similar to the military training. The military is helping individuals that are being abused by the hands of the police. In most of these cases where military law is present and security is more existing the police appear to be more on the military side than working for the countries government or community. This abuse does not happen within the United States, but the problem within the United States that is going on with the police and the security with the employment. With all of these different problems they are examined closely by the military, governments, security agencies...

...High School for the past four years. My goal in life is to go into the Air Force or the Army. I would like to go in as a Military Police (MP). At a young age, I was inspired to working with law enforcement. What inspired me was my mother working with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), aunt working in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), uncle working with the Department of Defense, and my grandfather being a Military Police. The topic I decided to do was “The History of the Air Force.” This was an important topic to me because I have always wanted to go into the Air Force. The Air Force has always been very interesting to me. I am just so excited in the way the Air Force protects our country. When I started doing my investing on the Air Force, is when I began learning how the Air Force really operated. When doing my research paper on the air force, I used the websites of www.airforcee.com ,www.airforcehistory.com and www.military.com. My paper will be a connection to enrich young minds on the things they would like to know about the Air Force. Someone who wants to enlist in the Air Force could learn the ins and outs of the Air Force. The Capstone Project experience was different for me. I had to really look at the information before I put it into the PowerPoint. If I had to do it again, I would put more time into the research of my project. If I put my mind to doing a project, I am capable of doing it. I will put every effort forward to make sure...

...Police Training: A Modern Approach American Military University CMRJ499 Criminal Justice Senior Seminar April 26, 2011 Police Training: A Modern Approach This research paper will examine the idea that traditional police training methods are inefficient for modern adult learners and new methods and techniques need to be utilized to ensure that today’s police force remains highly trained, professional and effective. The theory behind my thesis statement is that police officers are starting their law enforcement careers later in life (Mineard, 2006), are more diverse, have higher education and more life experiences. In the past, police officers were minimally trained, entered their careers at twenty-one or twenty-two years of age and had limited or no life experience prior to becoming police officers. Many law enforcement officers of the past entered police work directly from military service or school. Police training was developed during the early nineteenth century and the methods of training police officers have not change much over the past two decades. With the advent of the more mature, experienced and educated entry-level police officer, comes the need to reassess the training methods and adapt them to more effective methods for adult learners. Gone is the day of telling a rookie officer to sit in the car, keep quiet and do everything the training officer tells them. The military style training of blindly following leaders...

...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...

...duties, and leadership roles Melissa Carpenter Genesee Community College Author Note This paper was prepared for Administration in Criminal Justice 205, Section 99, taught by Professor Bushen Abstract: The journey of women in policing and police leadership has been long and strewn with obstacles and issues. The aim of this paper is to examine and discuss women in the policing. This paper will attempt to discuss the struggles and problems women face when taking a leadership role. This paper will give a brief history of the roles women played when first being introduced into the criminal justice system along with the roles they obtain now. When thinking of people in the criminal justice field especially that of police officers, chief of police, prosecutor, etc. many people often picture men in those positions. For many decades the criminal justice system was a male-dominated field and although men still hold a majority of these positions, more women are stepping up and taking initiative to lead in these areas. “In most cultures across the globe, males hold more power and privilege—both publicly and privately—than females. Men control more of the wealth, hold the highest position in government and industry, control the military, make more scientific and scholarly discoveries, and are more prominent in sports and entertainment than women” (Goodstein). This paper will discuss the roles of women in the criminal justice system and will attempt to explain their...

...Introduction: Policing today has proven to be effective after years of improvements and changes. This paper will discuss the significant features in history in Japan and the United States. There are many types of police operations. Policing in general has a wide range of different kinds of strategies and areas. I will discuss the development of both policing styles as well as how implementation can affect both countries. Japan: Japan is known for it low crime rate and its unique policing styles and homogeneous society. Sam Bacca, Chief of Police in Albuquerque New Mexico stated, “This is police paradise”, while he was visiting Japan. (Rebenfien, 1989) “Every law enforcement officer would love to have a community like this”, he continued. (Rebenfien, 1989) Chief Baca and many others offers came to Japan to observe their police system and bring those ideas back to their community. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Statistics Bureau, Director-General for Policy Planning and Statistical Research and Training Institute reports Japan's total population in 2011 was 127.80 million and total density measured 343 persons per square kilometer in 2010. Japan has endured many trial and tribulations has a country, having to rebuild after wars and conflict. During the fourteen century short lived imperial rulers, followed by a new government established by the Ashikaja family, lasting for two centuries.

...versus Contemporary Policing. Traditional versus Contemporary Policing Name: Course Title: Instructor’s Name: Institution: Date: Traditional versus Contemporary Policing The police force is a law enforcement agency that is mandated to enforce law by the state. Its main purpose is to prevent civil disorder and protect individuals as well as public and private property. The force has permission to use force where necessary. These forces form separate entities from the military and other forces charged with protecting states against foreign aggression. However, it has to be noted that such forces also have internal policing units too, such as the military police-which polices both the military and civilians. Law enforcement is not the only exclusive policing activity. The police are also involved in many other community service activities under various circumstances, but the most common ones are related to law and order preservation (Paynich, Russell & Cosner, 2005). The police force has evolved through time and most of its early policing techniques (traditional policing) have been found to be unreliable, and as a result contemporary policing methods (proactive policing techniques) have taken over the policing process. Traditionally, officers from the police have tried to reduce and prevent crime through making visible patrols, responding to crimes when they occur, making arrests as well as subsequent criminal investigations. These rapid responses, patrols...

...The exploration of the Archives last week in the library allowed me to take a walk into the past of UMass student activism. However what struck me and made an interconnection was what I need to focus on and that being my capstone paper. While spending time in Amsterdam and looking at Northern European policies around incarceration rates I wanted to compare the two countries. Unsure of what I wanted to research in the archives, and how this trip could later develop into another paper I needed to write, I started to piece things together as I began to recall articles read over the last two semesters in STPEC in order to bridge together the bigger picture of social and economic injustices impacting communities of color and working class populations....

...Introduction “Police history” predates the evolution of the “police” as a permanent occupational group within a bureaucratic institution, providing the primary state response to crime and disorder. That was primarily a development of the 19th century and a reaction to the rapid social change of the industrial revolution and rapid urbanization. Prior to 1800, governments maintained order by a variety of means, local and national. One of the key historical debates concerns the effectiveness of these approaches and the degree of continuity between the premodern and modern police models. Around 1800 a small number of distinctively different types of police institution emerged. The French, under Napoleon, instituted the Gendarmerie, a state military police model. It evolved from the “Marechaussee,” which had had a dual military and civil function since the 16th century. The model was exported across Europe by Napoleon. The British developed two models. The first, set up to answer similar challenges to the Gendarmerie in France, was the Royal Irish Constabulary model. It was close to the state military model, but distinctively styled as part of the civil power of the state and subordinated to the Magistracy. The Irish model was subsequently exported to Britain’s colonies and became the basis of forces such as the Indian Police Service. The Metropolitan Police was consciously created as a local force with a uniform that was deliberately different from the military and a mission that...

I will explain the historical evolution of habeas corpus as well as explain of its evolution within the American tradition and will include the general meaning of the right of habeas corpus in the U.S. Constitution and its relationship to the protection of other civil liberties. I will provide examples from U.S. history of the suspension of habeas corpus and their applicability to the present. Analyze the relevance of habeas corpus to the contemporary U.S. situation during the war on terror, especially with respect to persons characterized by as enemy combatants or illegal combatants. I will be evaluating a minimum of four perspectives on this topic expressed by justices of the Supreme Court, leaders in other branches of government, and commentators in both the academic and popular media; 1.)The role of the President as Commander-in-Chief, 2.) The role of Congress in determining when habeas corpus can be suspended, 3.) The role of the Supreme Court in protecting civil liberties, including the judicial philosophy which should guide the Court in this role, and 4.) The last topic will include my evaluation and personal philosophy, values or ideology about the balance between civil liberties and national security in the context...

Instead, policy was inconsistent, ambiguous and changing – resulting in confusion regarding morally and legally acceptable standards for interrogation and detention. These lapses in policy contributed...
