...Case #4 – Should London Police Arrest Prostitutes or Help Them? Qiaobin Lin Q1. Should McGowan support Peer’s recommendation for a program to monitor and assist street-level sex trade workers? Is this a job for police? Can they do it? Should they do it? I think McGowan should support Peer's recommendation for a program to monitor and assist street-level sex trade workers. The street-level prostitutes in London included some young girls who have fell in wrong crowd or have bad family. Some street-level workers just want to get drugs and alcohol and it is the only way to work. If they can be trained a little bit, at least they can protect themselves and maybe they can change their mind. It’s a job for police. police should protect the merchants and citizens. After special training they can handle it. Q2. If the idea moves forward, what goals would LPS set and how would they measure success? How would the program fit with other police units within LPS charged with law enforcement? How would it interact with relevant agencies outside of LPS? LPS means the London police service. They want to reduce the sex workers, at least make sure the street-level workers do not make other people uncomfortable and make sure the workers are safety. The program’s police will have more specialization knowledge about how to deal with sex workers’ different situations. They can interact with some support related organization that about emotional support and sex knowledge sharing, raise...

...that I face that are specific to my being an African American man. The one that I would say I find very challenging to deal with is the overall problem we have with the police brutality occurrences that continue to happen and plague this country. In this paper, I will discuss why the problem is challenging and why it’s creating ethical dilemmas for not only me, but for a lot of individuals that feel the way I feel. Police brutality has been an issue that has been around for as long as I have been on this earth. I myself have experienced some form of harassment from the police but never in the capacity that we have been witness to in recent years. Because of the explosion of smartphones and social media, police brutality has been brought to the forefront of what I feel is one of the most important ethical dilemmas that we face today, particularly in the African American community. Do we as a people say enough is enough, and fight back, or do we continue to stay the course and hope things change for the better? Now for myself, this is a difficult question to answer. I for one am tired of all of the brutality, but what really makes it worse is the fact that the occurrences are caught on camera and seem to be deliberate and excessive in nature. We all know that there have been several instances where police brutality in recent years has been caught on camera and the officer in question usually gets placed on...

...questions: (1) Why is the philosophy of community policing different than other police approaches? (2) How and why is it difficult to implement the philosophy of community policing? Remember, you must use at least one quote from the text in this assignment. Respond to at least three of your classmates. There are many different approaches when it comes to policing such as the watchman, legalistic, and service styles. There is also traditional, problem-oriented, zero-tolerance and community policing, which I will be addressing. Many people think of police as guardians of the community and although this may be true, not all police have the task of looking after the actual community. The array of job descriptions varies but all serve a purpose in the justice system. I will go over why the philosophy of community policing is different than other police approaches, why it is difficult to implement, the philosophy of community policing, and how it is similar to different types or styles of policing. According to Fuller (2014) “While the police have traditionally defined their primary mission in terms of crime control, community policing seeks to broaden the police role to include such issues as fear of crime, order maintenance, conflict resolution, neighborhood decay, and social and physical disorder as basic responsibilities”(p. 234). The philosophy of community policing is different than other police approaches because in this style of policing the officers are in touch with...

...Martin Lynch 10/28/2013 SOC 3200 Getting Society Inside The culture that was instilled in me since I was born was two families, my mother’s and father’s. My father’s family is of Irish Catholic descent and my mother’s family is of Italian Catholic descent. I was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago and I do still refer to that beautiful city as home. All of my beliefs and values are a result of these two families, but as I have grown up it is amazing how similar they could be and how different they can be. I know for an absolute fact there are two values that are agreed on by the Irish and the Italians. Those would be an undying work ethic and a strong Christian foundation. I remember being five years old and my father saying, “You are either working hard or hardly working.” It was not just expected by my family to work hard, it was demanded. If you wanted money, you went out and got it. I was a golf caddy for about eight years and still to this day go when I need some extra cash and also worked at a Chili’s restaurant throughout high school while playing two sports and a member of the Honor Roll. My siblings and I were never allowed to leave the house until our homework and chores were done. It was an expectation by not just my parents but my family as a whole to be hard working productive members of society who respected their elders and treated people with the utmost respect. Growing up it was expected to go to church every Sunday and thank God for what...

...Policy Recommendations for Law Enforcement Agencies in Texas Racial profiling is commonly defined as the act of discriminating against a person based on race, ethnicity, religion or national origin. The practice of racial profiling is a serious issue, especially when police officers are accused of this type of discrimination. Accusations of racial profiling can tarnish the reputation of an officer, their department, and can create a negative image towards the community they protect. With such disastrous consequences at stake, something must be done to fight this issue within the Texas police departments. Could possible adjustments be made to our current policies and legislature? More importantly, how can we ensure that all of our citizens,...

...With the recent surge in potential and blatant police misconduct and use of excessive force there has been a national outcry for law enforcement accountability, as well as, improved transparency. The possibility that some of these acts have been racially motivated, involved profiling or geographic discrimination have only fueled the problem and further soured police and public relations. The integration of police body cameras by many departments has been employed to repair poor public image and increase transparency, (Koh 2017). However, the use of police body cameras is a singular tool that needs to be utilized alongside other critical changes. These changes are necessary to repair the damage that has been done and keep it from escalating...

...iSPY Police brutality is on the rise, and many cases that can not really be answered because it is the citizen’s words against the officers’ word. “US law enforcement officers killed up to 1,199 people last year, the majority of whom were 'people of color,'” says The New York Times writers Marc Santora and Nikita Stewart in “Police Body Cameras Could Come to New York Soon” on December 3, 2014. According to Santora and Stewart, Mayor Bill de Blasio is speeding up a plan to outfit nearly all New York Police Department patrol officers with body cameras to ensure the public’s safety. Gonchar uses intelligent words, using direct quotes from Mayor Bill de Blasio, and usage of questions to help persuade whom it may concern. In the editorial by Santora...

...moment physical violence can strike out against any given person. Even police officers-who by law are commission to protect and serve-are not safe from violent acts upon their person, or from engaging in acts of violence against the very own civilian they are sworn to serve. However, in both circumstances the lines between justice and corruption, or self-defense and aggression, can be blurred beyond visibility. Often, training can take a backseat to instinct, and decisions made as a result should be subject to review by higher authorities, that the truth and justice may be served. In my opinion, police officers should be required to wear body audio and visual recorders while serving active duty within a community, in order to protect themselves and members of the community by providing an honest and accurate account of confrontation, altercations, and disputes. First of all, with all the crime and hate against police officers, body cameras are a good way to prove their innocence when they are doing their job the proper way. If they get into an altercation with someone and need to use excessive force and the public is outraged, I believe the body cameras will show what actually happened. I do not condone deadly force at all, but if the police officer is in danger and the suspect is trying to hurt or even kill him and the officer draws and shoots his weapon and the suspect dies, the camera will show if the police officer had real reason to do what he did, or if he was wrong. I also...

...Randy Geries, Sheriff Date: 08/17/2013 Subject: Proposal to Improve Interpersonal Communications Within Law Enforcement Attached is my proposal to improve interpersonal communication within the Sheriffs’ Office. It focuses on the concepts that are used to train law enforcement agencies in the skill of interpersonal communication within the department and in public. Good communication skills are absolutely essential within law enforcement and many of the problems that law enforcement officers confront are solved through effective communication. REASON FOR PROPOSAL There are several important reasons why this research will be beneficial to the sheriffs’ office and the local law enforcement agencies we provide radio service and interact with on a daily basis. First and foremost is officer, dispatch, and jailers safety. The communication problems with in the sheriffs’ office have caused major safety issues in the past between officers, jailers, and dispatchers. Most of the issues have been caused by poor communication skills or lack of knowledge in using good communication skills. This proposal will point out the key issues that need to be addressed and the solutions to correct them. I look forward to meeting with you and Sheriff Geries in working on ways to promote better communication skills within the department. 0 IMPROVE INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS WITHIN LAW ENFORCEMENT Prepared for Sheriff Randy Geries Parmer County Sheriffs’ Office Prepared...

...Analyze Police Culture CJA 214 April 24, 2014 University of Phoenix Analyze Police Culture Police officers play a unique role in American society. Police officers are the "keepers" of society's well-being as they enforce the law and maintain the peace. In this role, it is important to review all relevant information that may affect their performance including the development of a subculture. A culture is the common set of morals, knowledge, and conduct that the members of the community share. Subcultures are a set of unwritten laws that restrict and control the behavior of individuals within the group. Police subculture directs officers on how complete their tasks, how hard to work, what kinds of relationships to have with their fellow officers and civilians. It establishes the nature of these interactions: whether they are aggressive or peaceful. The subculture determines how police officers should think and feel toward their police supervisors, officers of the court including judges and prosecutors and the laws they are required to enforce. Police subcultures can also describe to a few negative aspects of policing. It can refer to an "us versus them" approach to policing. The police out on the street, personally interact with “criminals” are referred as “us” while everyone else including “criminals”, “civilians” and even “senior police officials” are referred to as “them.” This mentality leads to the belief that they are the good guys and everyone else is a potential bad...

...july14,2012 Dr. Theresa Fox Law Enforcement in today's Society There are several issues that the Police Department face in Today’s Society that are a big concern. Since the beginning of policing, there has been a problem with police corruption and concerns about racial profiling in society. Some police officers will use abusive power and authority for personal and organized gain. Police officers will turn their back on criminal activity for a financial gain and lose the respect from Society because of their corruption. Dangers on the job are an issue for officers to face in today’s society. Police officers face deaths from stress, car crashes, on the job training, and deaths at the hands of the offenders apprehended to protect the community. Police are exposed to diseases while in contact with an offender. Officers can contract AIDS and other diseases from blood and bodily fluids from hypodermic needles during a search, bites, urine or feces. Stress can be a contributed because of the requirements of the job. The American Institute of Stress ranks an officer to be a top ten stress-producing job in the United States. The officer wants the work effective and without mistakes and flaws so this is stressful Police see homicides, victims of accidents and other disturbing scenes that people can’t even imagine. Police officers live in constant fear because the danger of the requirements of their job. Fatigue contributes to officers...

Reforms to the US Criminal Justice System considering current affairs should include a reevaluation of sentencing laws to cut down on prison overcrowding. Community reintegration support is a key factor in reducing recidivism and prison overcrowding. Reintegrating back into society after incarceration for offenders can be almost impossible due to legal roadblocks and societal stigmas. Community reintegration support programs give former inmates help to transition back into society after incarceration. Community reintegration support programs entail housing, employment, education, and substance abuse treatment. Reintegration programs can also provide interventions for people with mental health issues. The issue of mental health is a current affair in society but also prevalent in prison with inmates having a very high rate of mental...

...Police brutality has been alive for years and has begun to evolve into one of Americas major concerns in today's society. On March 3, 1991, in California, Rodney King an African American, was halted after a high-speed traffic chase. Soon after he was brutally beaten by four white police officers. For months now, politicians have invoked King's legacy to implore black citizens to stay peaceful in the face of routine violence. The irony of this plea seems lost on its askers, but it does fall in line with a question that's haunted Black Lives Matter protesters for the past 10 months. The problem is national: no police department in the country is known to be completely free of misconduct. Yet it must be fought locally: the nation's 19,000 law enforcement agencies are essentially independent. Nowadays every type of thing that is seen as wrong in the aspect of a group is considered to be a criminal activity The state of California, for instance, has created 1,000 new crimes in the past 25 years, while Michigan currently has 3,102 crimes on the books. New York City alone has 10,000 crimes, rules and codes the...

...The History of Police The History of Police Name Class Name and Number University Name Date Professor: Dr. The History of Police The Law enforcement officers and many of their policies are centered on the twelve principles constructed by Sir Robert Peel, and his statement of, “the people are the police, and the police are people” (Johnson, & Wolfe, 2003). Robert Peel perceived that officers did not need to encroach into citizens lives when preventing criminal activity in communities. Peel created the principles that attributed to Community policing for crime prevention like neighborhood watch, and social institution programs for youth (Johnson, & Wolfe, 2003). Community –policing also invests and synchronize in the promotion of processions, problem solving, militia-cultural competency, analysis of problems, alleviations, interconnections, resolutions for conflicts, and initiative identification. Disorder and criminal acts were the primary mission that Peel constructed as part of his principles which are; 1.) The first principle suggests officers need to be trained as military soldiers, for the purpose of staying organized and efficient while patrolling communities. Officers need to interact with outside sources for criminal activity as tips, and never...
