Police officers assigned to schools are called SROs, School Resource Officers. The 2013 Congressional Research Service report says SROs enforce laws on campus and act as a “problem-solver and liaison” to prevent local crime and teach students to avoid becoming crime victims (Botelho and Ellis ). Recently there has been controversy over whether it is appropriate for SROs to be in the classroom setting. SROs are needed in schools to protect students and make schools a safe place.

Critical Thinking in Law Enforcement A few days ago we did a lesson that I found very hard to get into. This lesson required putting yourself in someone else’s shoes that didn’t have the same morals that you personally did. I had to put myself in the shoes of someone who is vegan, while I am in favor of eating all sorts of meats. Even though it was a hard lesson it opened my eyes to something important. Critically thinking allows you to see both sides of a conflict to be able to come to one…

For example, in a large community, there may be several…

Why do they use excessive and deadly force against them? And is it really only about African Americans or does the other ethnicities encounter the same problem? These questions are worth thinking about. However, the real question is, why police are brutal and how can we link it to structural racism? Also, what are…

Some critical-conflict theorists believe that social problems arise from the major contradictions inherent in the capitalist economies. What part do guns play in a capitalist economy? This question can be answered in a few different ways, one way would be to look at the laws governing the sale and distribution of firearms. While another way, would be looking at the different companies that make the firearms. Though the role guns play in a capitalist economy can’t be defined just by the laws…

In the criminal justice world, the theory of criminal investigation is laid out in a way that seems to be the same for every situation, but that is not the case in all cases. In some cases, the process has to be critiqued to fit the situation. In the world we live in we criminals are unfortunately getting better and better at committing crimes with little trace.

There was not enough evidence to convict him, so the jury had to declare him not guilty. When the foreman announced, “Not guilty!” the defendant jumped to his feet. “Cool!!” he shouted. “Does that mean I get to keep all the cash?” (Author unknown) Our justice system worked exactly the way the criminal justice system was designed to work.
