Police state

crimes are another important part of policing and the police role. Some people believe that is the call is not in reference to a crime than it is not important. However, others feel like all calls are important and those not related to crimes still help keep a community safe and peaceful. Mastrofski has four different models that are used to help the effectiveness when dealing with crime. Mastrofski identifies these as crime prophylactic model, police knowledge model, social work model, and…

safety Section 136 states that once an arrest has been made police must assist the individual to a place of safety (Mental Health Act 1983, s. 136 (1)). To ensure the safety of the individual and the public, until an assessment can be conducted and future treatment has been decided upon (House of Commons 2015). A place of safety, is defined by law, as residential accommodation provided by a local authority (Lynch et al 2002; Borschmann et al 2010), such as: A&E departments, police stations and…

There are many things that police officers have done wrong. Police deviance caused by a few people who should not have become police officers and whose feelings toward corruption was not recognized during the recruitment and hiring phases. Police corruption is a major problem in the United States. Some police officers turn bad by ripping off drug dealers and even dealing drugs themselves. Corruption is a bit ore serious but if corruption is for personal gain, then simply accepting a free cup of…

especially of color unfairly when it comes to arrests, trials, and punishments. For example, in the case of Konerak Sinthasomphone, one of Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims. He was able to escape Dahmer’s apartment, but was severely drugged, tortured, and raped. Police received a call from two African American women. Upon arrival, the officers were informed from the women that he was injured by Dahmer, but the officers refused to listen to them. The officers eventually waived off the medical personnel…

American police officers are the backbone of homeland security. By enforcing the laws and protecting the people of the United States, police officers can be considered the nation’s guardians. To justify their importance, a “thin blue line” concept of the American flag has been created to signify what police officers protect. The flag also represents the barrier between anarchy and a civilized society, and respect for decency and lawlessness. The blue color represents justice, vigilance, and…

Living in the United States, we often see the flash of blue lights and hear the whir of sirens. We loudly proclaim that that person must have done something unlawful to warrant a stop by the police. We never think that the police may be wrong. They may have arrested someone for the wrong reasons or for no reason at all. When students come to school, they expect an education. They never expect to be harassed or shamed. If a student brings an experiment to school to show off to a teacher, they…

physical and verbal abuse of police officers, gun control, and the lack of support for our veterans and active duty troops. The first issue that is important to me is the physical and verbal abuse of police officers. Police officers are here to keep us safe. They arrest criminals to keep our streets free from danger, they solve cases, and most importantly – they are positive role models for children. Throughout the past few months, there…

function of the police force. The police force consists of many functions and roles. Their main role in terms of society is to “uphold the law fairly and firmly; to prevent crime; to pursue and bring to justice those who break the law; to keep the Queen’s peace; to protect, help and reassure the community; and to be seen to do this with integrity, common sense and sound judgement” (Saulsbury; Newburn 1996, p.xii) to further protect the life, liberty and property of the people. The police are…

High School, just as I am. Many of my older colleagues recalled stories of him being a lively spirit that everyone loved. Although I did not personally know him, it made me realize that anyone can be affected and harmed. He is one of many examples of police brutality amongst African Americans across America that have been ignored or shunned. Matthew Ajibade of Savannah, Georgia was a 22-year-old student celebrating New Year 's Eve with his family. This day took a turn when law enforcement was…

as well; and after comparing her story with Jay’s, it became apparent that their statements did not match what the State found. For example, both Jenn and Jay say over and over again, “he left the house at 3:30, 3:40.” Jenn says as late as 4:15 even. But the State’s theory of the case is that Hae was dead by 2:35, and the “come and get me call” was made at 2:36 p.m.” Yet the police overlooked that “minor” detail in the course of events. The ultimate goal for Jay and Jennifer was to have a solid…
