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…

Support The Blue Line Law Enforcement is losing respect in today’s society. Some say it’s due to police brutality, carelessness of the job, overpowered, but that is far from the truth. This is only because of the under equipped and under trained officer. “Why good cops go bad,” (Silverii, 2013). The pressure from the community to make this happens takes a toll on all law enforcement. This only happens because officers are limited by what they have and what they are allowed to do. With the rise…

Public interactions with the police have been highly publicized throughout the news lately. Most of the publicity portrays police officers abusing the system and using violence in order to get the public to do what they want. The technological era is supporting this statement with videos of police officers making questionable decisions. Others believe that police officers are in a tough position and have one of the hardest jobs in the world. They have to make split second decisions that might…

School law is a vital knowledge to have in the education field. There are my aspects that teachers and administrators must know prior to engaging students, parents, and staff. This knowledge of school law will help protect teachers and administrators from any repercussions that could follow from negative actions that might have taken place in the school or with another school member. The saying knowledge is power could not be more true when dealing with school law. During this past week, we…
