Body-worn cameras provide departments with unbiased evidence of officer interactions with the public. They have been shown to improve department transparency, improve officer and citizen…
Boys by Victor Rios, and Between Good and Ghetto by Nikki Jones really pointed out how much youths struggle in the juvenile justice system. I say the word struggle because they are the ones that get hit had the most by the higher authority such as police officers. I am not talking about white youths, I am simply talking about the African American girls and boy and Latino girls and boys. They are picked on so bad by officers because of their skin color. Officers suddenly feel as if they are being…
my goal of keeping a nationwide military out of India is to have a country wide vote. The vote will decide if we should have national military or if we should have a small police force instead. If we win the vote to take away the national military, immediate action will be taken to take away the military and form a small police force. If the vote is lost no further action will be taken and the vote will not occur again and the national military will…

I will be discussing Japan’s criminal justice system. I will be addressing the law enforcement, courts, and correction workings of their criminal justice system. I chose Japan because I believed that it would be interesting to learn more about how their criminal justice system works. It is important to look at other countries criminal justice systems so that we can compare them to our own to see if we need to make improvements or if we can help to improve others. Japan 's legal system is based…
States. It 's single handily cause most of our police problems. Evening though we are living in a post-civil rights era race it plays a large issue in our society. Majority of problems dealing with race stem from racial profiling. Racial profiling is very illegal in the US, it violates our right to unreasonable search and seizure, which is found in the fourth amendment of the constitution.
