...Essay: True Detective True Detective is an extraordinary TV series, written by Nic Pizzolatto, about two Louisiana State Police detectives investigating a series of ritualistic murders. Pizzolatto has created a series beyond brilliant. The amazing structure, impeccable writing, marvelous acting, and frame story have made True Detective an immediate classic. At the end of each episode you will be on the edge of your seat craving another hour. True Detective is based on two investigators, one of them is a typical overconfident investigator, Woody Harrleson, and the other is an intellectual, nihilistic man, Matthew McConaughey. This series alternates between 1995, when detectives Martin Hart (Harrelson) and Rust Cohle (McConaughey) start working a case together, and 2012, when the two detectives work a new case that has strong similarities to the case in 1995. State internal affairs detectives are interviewing both men separately and believe that Rust may have committed the old crime, new crime or both. Rust and Marty investigate a ritualistic murder in rural Louisiana. As they attempt to uncover leads in this disturbing case, their own lives intersect in fascinating, yet explosive ways. Though the investigation itself is interesting, the interpersonal behavior of the obsessive and frequently conflicting lead characters makes this drama seem so much fresher than all other criminal television series. The structure in this series is unique. In 2012, two detectives are interviewed...

...speed chase, if the driver decides not to stop. When this happens, the officer is going to begin the chase, because he does not know whether the driver has committed some terrible crime, like robbery or, if he is a dangerous drug dealer, or perhaps a wanted sex offender. You never know when a high speed pursuit will start. They can sometimes start in a local area and continue into another jurisdiction. Although these chases are dangerous, neither the driver nor the police know what might be ahead of them. Although police chases are dangerous, police who allows suspects to flee run the risk that offenders will do even greater harm to citizens, says Michael Crivello, president of the Milwaukee Police Association and a city police detective. “They’re fleeing because they may be wanted for sexual assaults, shootings, homicides,” he says. “there are pursuits that are successfully concluded all the time, but you never hear about those.” Milwaukee changed its policy on pursuits last month after four people were killed by drivers fleeing police in three separate incidents in a two-month period. Police there now must have probable cause that a violent felony has occurred instead of reasonable suspicion before initiating a chase. Who do you blame when such dangerous chases end up taking the lives of innocent bystanders. The driver, nor the police wouldn’t know, what effect this action could cost a community, when the life of someone who is well known, not only locally, but...

...is no need to arm the police in the article ‘Guns and police do not mix’. This essay will evaluate several main ideas in both of these articles. Firstly, Public points out that arming the police does help protect people. When citizens see police who are carrying weapons, they probably feel safer. Nevertheless, Wright believes that there will be an increase in the amount of weapon usage on duty if police are armed. As a result, police may not use less dangerous ways to catch criminals. Secondly, Public mentions that police needs to have weapons to protect themselves. They mainly use them as a tool to defend rather than to injure criminals. Conversely, Wright emphasizes that it is possible to neglect some fundamental issues of society, so detective work and policing strategies need to be concerned about more than arming the police. Discussion: In these two articles, there is a contradiction between the authors’ ideas. While Public seems to fail to argue the idea about the protection for citizens, the point about police’s self-defense may be persuasive. However, Wright’s explanation about the increase in using weapons is unconvincing while there may be success in the point about the ignorance of society’s failures. Firstly, Public’s claim about protecting law-abiding citizens may be unconvincing. According to the author, people may have safer feeling when seeing police having weapons. Nevertheless, this can not be applied in all situations because arming the police can help raise...

...the police academy and his first assignment where he is partnered with a cop who willingly admitted that he accepted free food and looked the other way for minor infractions such as double parking. This scene becomes important as we begin to realize that, even though this I minor, there is a level of acceptable corruption within the New Your City police force and the Frank was not a willing participant in it at all. The next time we see Frank, he is responding to a possible rape call which he and his partner break-up and arrest one of the suspects. The lead detective, I assume, later beats the suspect and Seprico seems reluctant to want to participate in. Once the suspect is being taken to prison Seprico talks him into giving up the names of the other two assailants, Frank calls for assistance, receives none and makes the arrests himself. Once he gets the suspects back to the police station, he is bullied by the detectives to give the credit for the arrest. He relinquishes the arrest but here you can see that he is interested in getting promoted fast. We now cut to a few different scenes involving hes love life, family and living arrangements that, in my opinion, took away from the story a bit. Especially the scene where he is with the dancer at a night club and wanting people to call him Paco. The part about another name wasn't really...

...Organizational Behavior in Police Departments Organizational Behavior in Police Departments The study of the behavior of humans in an organization is called organizational behavior (Schermerhorn, Hunt, Osborn, & Uhl-Blen, 2010). Organizational behavior is a discipline that attempts to understand group and individual behavior, organizational dynamics, and interpersonal processes in an effort to improve the performance of the people in an organization and the organization itself. In a police department, organizational behavior can benefit by becoming critical for management to succeed in meeting the organizations goals. To understand the complex forces that make up human behavior in organizations, the nature of the organization must be reviewed first. An organization is described as a group of people working together to achieve a common goal or purpose. In the police department, the core purpose is to serve and protect. Many police departments have evolved from past generations of officers, and many departments are influenced by the local history and cultures. Three other influences effect the police agencies and the organization, the size of the department, the technology available, and environmental factors. In a large police department, information management, and direction need more organization to be maintained. The technology in a police department is also important in the matter of archiving information and how it is managed...

He was still a formidable opponent between the blocks. And nobody wanted to play H.O.R.S.E with him either. Hardly anybody could match his dunks. “Yea.” “Maybe you’re right.” “Not for too long though.” “This fucker ain’t resting to much so we can’t afford to either.” Responded the detective. He was tapping on the desk with his pencil while looking at the list of victims. They had been in the office since early this morning working on the case and had been going over several stacks of paper concerning the victims and all of the new data seemed to be a bit over whelming by now. At this point, they were yet unawares of the latest victim, the girl in Florida had not yet been found. Charlie had pulled her into the bushes and covered her up with a stack of delivery pallets he had found nearby. “I keep thinking about number 29.” Said the detective. “You mean the pizza delivery guy?” “Yea.” “You know, I don’t think he even planned...

...The attraction and retention of foreign direct investment (FDI) is a complex and multifaceted activity for a number of different stakeholders” FDIs are distinct in Foreign Investments in that the entities making the investment wield a substantial degree of governance over the businesses invested in. Economies with few trade restrictions that have exports and imports that make up a large sector of the host nation’s GDP are considered to be ideal sites for FDIs. It is the degree of openness of that economy that regulates a government's choice to pursue the economic policy of FDIs. In the movie The Grand Seduction, a small fishing village called St. Marie-La-Mauderne, of Newfoundland has been dying an economic death. Their GDP has flat-lined which makes them an idyllic candidate for an FDI. The town’s willingness to do whatever it takes in terms of lifting restrictions is the impetus for the movie’s plot. The aspiration to attract the appropriate FDI often leads nations to participate in a global competition. This competition has created investment promotion agencies and endorsed policies that produce incentives for FDIs. These incentives traditionally are financial in nature. They are presented as: tax concessions in the form of a reduced corporate income tax rate (as in the movie where they received a tax exemption for life), enhanced depreciation allowances, and exemption from import taxes and refunds of duties on exports. These entail: direct contributions to the firm...
