Understanding Proactive Reasoning

Decent Essays
Antonio,

I would agree with your post of the understanding of proactive reasoning. Like you my post focused on the same points of understanding and the benefits and downfalls of each. Proactive provides more control and protection for all individuals and allows investigators to control the direction and typically the outcome of each investigation. You mentioned how reactive reasoning is difficult due to the the need for investigators to have and urgent response, which I couldn't agree more. Between the two reactive is weaker, because of the unknown possibility of having a witness not testify and the possible life or death

    This change in the procedure allows for two (2) detectives to be fully active at the onset of the investigation, while the 3rd partner handles the processing of the crime scene. While it is not necessary for all three (3) detectives to be present at each step of the investigation, all three (3) should remain active and knowledgeable of the status of the investigation. This should provide for improved investigative coverage while allowing additional flexibility in manpower decisions. This step should actually reduce overtime while increasing the opportunity to solve investigations. This also increases the probability of an original detective remaining active in an investigation should it continue for an extended…

    In a 2007 article for Educational Leadership, “The Essential Cognitive backpack” Mel Levine argues that high school graduates are missing the necessary “gear that ought to find its way into every graduates cognitive backpack”(17).

    Jean Piaget’s study of the development of reasoning gives us the best insights into how we develop the self. This is best understood by assessing the insights of Cartesian dualism. ‘ Cogito ergo sum’ is Latin for ‘I think, therefore I am’. In contrast, subjective interactionists claim that the “I” is the subjective self, whereas the “me” is objective. The older I get, the better I am at reasoning with my surroundings; even if I consider my body to be part of my environment.…

    Crimes have existed for ages, even though countries have enforced laws and punished those who commit them. Countries also increased the size of the police as well as the law enforcement, but still people violate the law. When watching a TV show, or reading a newspaper, or listening to the radio, it is really impossible to avoid hearing or reading about crimes, including murder, robbery, abuse, or any violent act. With the increase of crime, criminals, and the gathering of evidence, “Herbert Packer (1968) described two competing models of the administration of criminal justice models: the crime control model and the due process model” (Cole, Smith, & DeJong, 2015:27). , in order to protect citizens from the lawbreakers and receive justice.…

    The U.S. Supreme Court has made decisions to allow police officers to use deception during custodial interviews of suspects per case law Frazier v. Cupp, 1969 and Oregon v. Mathias on, 1977. Supportive decisions of deception has been made also in the State Court level per State v. Nightingale, 2012. Deception during investigations does not mean a case to be solved by “whatever means necessary,” as the suspects have their civil rights. However, I do believe the deception and baiting a suspect during investigation and in custodial interviews, is a tool necessary to pursuant of solving a case. There has to be reasonable and prudent justification to use deception in relation to the case under investigation and it should be proportional.…

    The rational choice theory expresses why people make the choice to commit a crime. It is not only a response from how someone was raised or from society pressures to an individual, but how the offender decided to commit a certain crime because it serves a purpose for them. This system of ideas emphases on how a person can measure the benefits of marketing certain decisions or basically what causes a person to come up with a decision to act a certain way. In the first chapters of the book we can see how Sam’s behavior towards Beth changes. It is certainly his choice to treat her the way he does because he doesn't mistreat her all the time.…

    Wrongful Convictions: Why Do They Occur Introduction Never has a criminal justice system of the United States been fair and flawless. Ever since the American Revolution, the U.S. Constitution granted protection of freedom for innocent, and restricted the freedom for criminals. But not all criminals have been punished, and not all innocent remained free. This problem still exists in the modern days, and in some ways, it is even worse than it used to be. Wrongful convictions are causing many problems in our society other than putting innocent behind the bars or on the execution table.…

    Introduction One of the first quotes that IB students learn from their TOK books is “Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge” (Khalil Gibran). This quote, better than anything, explains that gaining knowledge begins with disagreement. Multiple people may see the same thing differently having different thoughts and ideas about it. Some of these people’s ideas will turn out to be true depending on the evidence that they get, others seeing that their theories have no backing will agree that what the other person suggests is true. Thus, robust knowledge is created.…

    Cognitive therapy was founded by Aaron Beck, and he based this therapeutic approach on two main ideas. The first idea is that individuals who are depressed have a negativity bias in their thinking, and the second idea is that the way individuals interpret the events around them contributes to the maintenance of their depression (Ball, n.d.). In a more refined sense by Ball (n.d.) it can be said that cognitive therapy is based on the premise that it is not the event itself that the individual faces but rather how they make sense of it that determines their emotional reaction.…
