The Guard

students chosen to participate were assigned randomly as either a prison guard or a prisoner and were placed in the basement of the Psychology Department at Stanford University to conduct the experiment. Despite being planned to run for two weeks, the experiment only lasted six days due to it becoming too brutal and raising the chance of endangering the students involved mentally. The students chosen to be the prison guards used a variety of methods to try to control the students that were…

The military police in the Army National Guard plays a decisive role in protecting the people and property of the United States by enforcing military laws and regulations (United States Army National Guard). Both the military and civilians rely on the military police to prevent crime and respond to all emergencies. Some jobs for officers include the securing of weapons, enemy prisoners, and government officials. It is also the job of a military police officer to interview witnesses, arrest, and…

B) The Nordstrom security guard did not have constructive possession of Marshall’s property because he did not have the special relationship required to establish constructive possession. One of the ways constructive possession is satisfied is if one has a special relationship with the employer. See, e.g., People v. Galoia, 31 Cal. App. 4th, 595 (1994) (finding no special relationship when a “Good Samaritan” lacked sufficient interest in the property being taken). Constructive possession is…

the tasks for the pool to open at noon. The tasks that they do are fairly simple. The guards start with making sure the locker rooms are clean and stocked with the supplies they need. If there is not a boy or girl on shift the guard needs to yell into the locker room to make sure no one is in there before entering the opposite gender’s locker room. After making sure the locker rooms are well stocked the guards unlock the locker room doors that go out towards the pool, and the door to the snack…

By the third day, it was the first time a prisoner had an emotional/nervous breakdown, prisoner 8612 was willing to go to a doctor or any alternative to get him out of that prison. The guards all believed this was an act and that the prisoner was weak and unstable. The next day the guards escalated their actions and their power by then having some prisoners clean out toilets with their bare hands, degraded some in front of the rest, and other unusual acts of embarrassment involving sexual…

because the guards in the prison study were given power, with no restrictions, letting them believe they could do whatever they wanted to whoever they wanted. For the soldiers at Abu Ghraib, they were put in new positions as guards, watching over their prisoners. The acts performed there by those soldiers, were similar to what went on in the Stanford Prison. However, the soldiers at Abu Ghraib went much further than the guards in the Stanford study. But with every passing day, the guards in both…

portrayed as either a prisoner or guard. The study took place in 1971 and only lasted six days due to the effects it had on its participants. This experiment was highly controversial and inflicted mental pain to its participants. So where did it all go wrong? Why did the participants so quickly act against their typical self? Was this experiment ethical? Let’s find out. Zimbardo posted a flyer at the college seeking volunteer students to play the roles of both guards and prisoners for a fifteen…

Banks, W.C. & Zimbardo, P.G. (1973)). This experiment took form within a model prison created in the basement at Stanford University to discover the variables found in prisons that can lead to aggression in people, i.e. guards and prisoners. The hypothesis explored was that ‘guards’ and ‘prisoners’ would react in different ways and their behavior and state of being would differ from each…

environment resembled a real prison closely enough to get accurate results. The prison was made up of three small cells each 6 x 9 ft with a cot for each prisoner and steel barred doors. A small 2 x 2 x 7ft closet was used for solitary confinement. The guards had several rooms they used as guard’s quarters and interview…
