Our Criminal Justice System here in the United States was created around the 17th century and composed of the police forces, courts, and the corrections. Although America’s Criminal Justice System has been around for centuries, it changes with laws and customs we put forth in our society. In order for our society to run peacefully, we have to establish new laws and regulations to keep people safe and living happily. This leaves Americans wondering: what is the point of our criminal justice…

I would like to have temporary video surveillance system installed across a 26.2 miles. A small command center can be setup at police HQ and command team (police officers, volunteers) can monitor them throughout the day. Where there are no cameras, trained volunteers who are also helping with security can take live videos with their own smart phones and send it to command center to view actives…

that the police face today and they are trying to make these issues better. The issue today that stood out the most to me was the relationship between the police and citizens. The news constantly talks about different situations that the public encounters with the police, right now all of the stories have been a negative light on the police. This negative light have cause issues among the police and community. In order for this to be fix, there must be a building foundation for the police and…

Vollmer is credited as the “Father of Law Enforcement” (Bond, 2014, para. 4). He was the first Police Chief of the Berkeley Police Department in California and a huge proponent of formalizing criminal justice studies into an academic discipline. It was also during the 60 's and 70 's, presidential commissions emphasized better police standards and training (Bond, 2014). Formal education is good for the individual and brings credibility to the institution. However…

My proposal to address this issue is on a meso level by employing social workers in police departments to tackle, reduce, and ultimately end racism during interaction with the police and minorities, with a focus on African Americans. This would be done by educating police officers on cultural differences, having them explore known and unknown biases, and offer clinical support as needed. “Law enforcement must bridge differences and cross-relational barriers to do their jobs (Cornett-DeVito, 2000…

Following the end of slavery came the initiation of black codes. Alexander says that southern lawmakers passed such codes because they believed that African Americans were lazy. Several whites grew increasingly fearful of blacks retaliating. Their fear resulted in the birth of the mass incarceration of African Americans. Michelle Alexander states that “prisoners became younger and blacker, and the length of their sentences soared.” Slightly following the reconstruction era, the new caste…

that in some counties in the state of Alabama in order to get a CCW (concealed carry weapon) permit that you are required to go through a training course. Mobile County does not require this, but I still highly recommend it. As a former Auxiliary Police Officer for the City of Chickasaw, I have been trained in the proper use of a firearm and am more than willing to share that knowledge with anyone who wants to learn…

aftermath. The combination of plentiful crime with unhelpful witnesses has created a living hell for philadelphia police officers. With witnesses afraid to speak up, the gangsters now have an edge on the law enforcement system. They feel capable of committing crimes without facing repercussions. It has essentially become a never-ending saga of the city’s gangsters against the police, with the silent citizens as an asset to the…

have evolved into two very different ways at addressing it. Also, since the time periods were very unique, they had very different living conditions, which makes the reasons for crimes and the ways to combat them different. As crime evolves so do the police that are in charge of stopping it. Although crime and prevention often change, they do offer some similarities in comparison to the Victorian era and modern Britain. The Victorian era was unsafe with dens of criminals around every corner.…

On March 16th, 2011 the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division released an Investigation of the New Orleans Police Department. The scathing report found that too many officers within the Department lacked regard to constitutional policing; that respect for the civil rights and dignity of the people of New Orleans has been absent (Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, 2011). Additionally, the report found that those officers are just the tip of the iceberg of a…
