Orwell’s essay reflects what many may go through today. The struggle to do what is morally right when an entire world persuades individuals, or gives a different vision of the opposite. ‘Shooting an Elephant’ represents a very powerful essay with a police officer that suffers from inner conflict. Orwell seems to be a very weak individual with a weak mindset. Confused and lost as to what decisions he really should make on his own. He sets the mood of this impression in the start of his essay.

Many are under the assumption that women are more likely to be sexually assaulted or raped by a stranger than by someone they know personally. Many presume that “family conflicts”—which has been used as a euphemism for domestic violence—should be kept private. Many believe that these types of heinous crimes do not happen in their neighborhood. All of these notions are false. Each and every day, these monstrous crimes are being committed to innocent people.

When dealing with the courts, attorney’s ethical behavior isn’t about…

When I watch television shows and movies and begin to analyze them I begin to notice that crime is glamorized while at the same token many societal issues are highlighted. I also begin to realize that crime control is viewed as being easily controlled and justice is always served. The shows I decided to analyze are Scandal an ABC series and The First 48 an A&E series. I decided I would analyze Scandal because it gives an overview of how politics play a role in how crime is controlled and covered…

Weapons of War on the Streets of America There once was a time when police work consisted of investigation, gathering evidence, and making an arrest based on that evidence. Today, the role of police officers is much different. Many people living in the United States are now fearful of police officers and for very good reasons.

The police are the frontlines to investigate and determine if a crime has been committed before it can enter into the criminal justice process. It is up to them to protect, investigate, and respond to various service calls. Therefore, police discretion is the very essence in deciding the best course of action to take that will allow for the most desirable outcome in each unique situation to support community goals. For example, discretion is exercised when an officer pulls over a traffic…

Over the past 40 years there has been an increase in statutes and statute enforcement throughout the United States. This increase can be…
