Police psychology

about serving society and protecting those who cannot protect themselves. I am born and raised in Southern California. I know the community well and feel like, as a police officer I would be protecting a home that I know and care for deeply. As a member of an ethnic minority I have always been keenly aware that interactions with the police are fraught with fear and tension, and the distrust of law enforcement has built up in my own ethnic community in recent years. However, I strongly desire to…

justify the situation because due to the report by Chicago police, 228 violent crimes happened in that neighborhood on average between 2008 and 2013. Then the Chinese society starts turning their heads to universities that are located in small town because although academics is a priority, safety of their child is still the thing they…

I watched a video about policing and within that video Dr. George Kelling went into detail about "The five big ideas that transformed policing". Those five included one, the way police handled people, the police should be concerned about the problem rather than the incident at hand. The second was something he called "broken windows" which meant to fix the little problems as well as the big ones, he pointed out that small things matter as well…

Critical Thinking in Psychology Community policing programs have been around for years. It is said many of the current policing strategies used by agencies were influenced by community policing programs (Lab & Das 2003). Typically, programs were tested on larger areas to see if they showed any positive results, and overall there was a good turnout. Since this caught the attention of the government, smaller police agencies began to adopt community policing. Although community policing has been…

The career I have chosen to do my paper on is a Parole Officer. I chose this career because criminal justice is my major and I find it to be interesting that this is a legal career where you will need a four-year bachelor degree in that major, psychology or a related area. I was not sure what the job entailed, but after doing research, I'm a little more certain that this may be the career for me. A parole officer supervises those who serve their sentences outside of a prison and those who are…

father? Brad Comer gave his friend a last chance to say goodbye. Brad Comer has given a lot of people a second chance, and Brad Comer is that hero. Brad Comer gave others a second chance, but he wouldn’t have been able to do that without becoming a police officer. As a child criminal justice work had always appealed to him because he could “be in a job where you get to help people” (Comer). And helping people is what he does especially after undergoing the difficult academy…

Men are always going to be physically stronger than women that’s how they are built. Some examples of test that discriminate against women are test the involve upper body strength like pull ups, outdated test that have been used for years but have not been updated and “obstacle courses or tests…

An example of situational crime prevention is a few years ago a department store in Coffs Harbour was a victim to numerous stealing’s of lip glosses by young girls. The lip glosses were in an area at the back of the store that was out of the way. The shop decided to put these lip glosses at the front of the shop next to the check outs where staff and other shoppers frequent. This crime prevention measure stopped the stealing of lip glosses. Other ways shops deal with crime prevention is by…

imposed on men. There were many threats to daily life during the Victorian Era. According to “Hooligans, Harlots and Hangmen, Crime and Punishment in Victorian Britain”, crime was the biggest threat. There was very little police activity in the middle class areas. The police stayed mainly in the areas reserved for the upper classes who had more power and money. Those upper class were more likely to be…
