My Hero's Journey (GCPD)

Improved Essays
Before acquiring a certain raven haired detective, the downtown GCPD was a busy little place, the kind of place that low end criminals sat in tiny cells and await with one another without having to deal with the nuts at Arkham. The weekend meant that cops officially had their hands full, and even if downtown GCPD was obscure and unknown, the swell of low end criminals brought to GCPD was enough to keep it running. The cells were small and old, and other than a decent view of the water, that was pretty much all it had going for it.

The downtown GCPD was always dealing with something from the petty drunks to the common thieves. It was rare for them to catch a major criminal, and majority of the time Batman beat them to it. Just like every night

A sheet of newspaper fluttered past her as she walked down the sidewalk with her black heels clicking on the dingy pavement below. Her apartment was small yet cozy almost perfect for a single person living alone. Stella had decorated her apartment on her own, and chose a very simple modern style. It was on the top floor of a vintage building right at the edge of downtown. Placing her badge on the small end table near the front door, Stella slipped her heels off then tucked them away into the hall closet. After a quick bite to eat followed by a warm hot shower, Stella climbed into her large bed, and soon was fast …show more content…
Not knowing whom she was meeting, Stella relaxed in the leather seat watching the city pass by through the tinted window. Finally the limo stopped, and her door was open. Placing a single heel onto the pavement, Stella glanced up at the expensive hotel before entering the building. Giving her name to the man behind the front desk, Stella nodded slightly before heading towards the elevator. “Top floor,” she said to the elevator operator. Standing there among Gotham's finest made her feel undressed in her simple plain suit. The black skirt was a little short for her liking, and her silk white shirt was from Penny's. Playing with a lose strand of black hair that escaped her tight bun, Stella watched the elevator empty one by one till the doors finally

    Hero's Journey

    The term “hero” has been around since the late fourteenth century; however, the term is of an uncertain origin (Etymology, paragraph 2). Based upon controversial etymology beliefs, Webster’s Dictionary defines a ‘hero’ as an individual that is admired for his or her great acts or fine qualities. According to Joseph Campbell, the author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, an individual must go through the cycle of the hero 's journey. The life of a real life hero is reflected by the epic literary example “The Hero’s Journey” that is exhibited in the book The Hero with a Thousand Faces; therefore, a hero in today’s world must undergo the same twelve stages that are listed in “The Hero’s Journey.” The hero’s journey is known for telling…

    “Let’s go.” They hurried out to the car, and began driving through the streets, in excited and suspenseful silence until they reached the run-down paper factory. It had been shut down due to irreversible mold and termite damage, and the city hadn’t sold the property yet, so the whole looming structure still stood. Nicole got out of the car, staring breathlessly at the gloomy building littered with graffiti and broken glass. Zach reassuringly grabbed her hand and they walked up to the door.…

    At the conclusion of the Kansas City Preventative Patrol Experiment of 1974, little worth was placed on the proficiency of defensive routine patrols to discourage crime. Researchers and criminologists exposed inadequacies in methodology, specifically a bias in the statistics towards a worthless hypothesis and a problem with measurement in the determination of amount of patrolling for specific areas. The Minneapolis Hot Spot Experiment came about to either validate the findings of the Kansas City Preventative Patrol Experiment or to show its flaws. In early 1995, Lawrence Sherman and David Weisburd chose to conduct an experiment of crime based on Minneapolis addresses. Said experiment had a goal of crime prevention and reduction in “high-crime” areas within the metropolitan Minneapolis region.…

    Throughout No Way Out, law enforcement officers have been seen as a negative influence in the Lyford Street community. This insider/outsider dynamic is an extremely important feature in the community. When most outsiders come in, they disrupt the established social order that the residents work so hard to maintain, so the residents see outsiders as a threat to their community. Duck describes one patrol officer assigned to Lyford Street who’s presence seems to be beneficial in this community. This police officer rarely arrested people in the community, rather she would organize for other officers in different parts of town to make arrests involving the drug trade.…

    Sitting at my desk, I stared down at my schoolwork while my mind remained static. Suddenly, I found myself beginning to radiate golden light as my body faded from existence; then before I knew it, I rematerialized out of thin air. This does not happen often, so I was rather confused as I stood atop a cloud, high up in the sky. That is, until I noticed a large, human-like figure appear before me in a holy light. He raised his hands and smiled down at me before bellowing out, “Behold, for it is I; Gabe Newell!”…

    The two policing approaches have elicited public debate on which one is the most suitable to control or prevent crime in the community. The community members are key partners in crime prevention rather than the use of order-maintenance policing propagated by the Broken Windows Theory. In the 1980s, there was the rise of two policing approaches, namely the Community-based policing approach (CP) and the Broken Windows Theory (BW) that were conceptually related but functionally apart (McKee & Lewis, 2016). They are different in practice, but they both concur that the police should be actively engaged with the community to minimize major crimes.…

    Racial profiling is singling out an individual because of one 's race, colour or religion. The police does majority of racial profiling because of the training they have received from their seniors of who is “good or bad” in the society and who are the ones that are most likely to cause problems. They are expected, not just by the public but also the government to keep peace and the streets safer for everyone. However, this power is often misused against racial minorities and this can often become problematic. Historically, people in positions of power have also looked down and oppressed people of colour, and similar things persist in today 's society.…

    After separating from her parents, she establishes her own identity. When she moved to her sister Lori’s apartment, she was happy to learn that her apartment had running hot water that was attached to the toilet and a bathtub (Walls, 165). Later, she gets a job and buys her own grand apartment at the park avenue in the New York City, which consists of bronze and silver vases, Persian rugs, Georgian maps, the overstuffed leather armchair and other lavish things. She herself wears pearls, diamonds, and expensive heels, which she never got to wear when she was a kid as she did not even have enough clean clothes to wear. On the contrary, her childhood was spent in the ghetto and not very advanced places, struggling for the basic necessities every day.…
