...Eyewitness Evidence Executive Summary Learning Team A CJA/364 February 17, 2015 Jeff Walters University of Phoenix Eyewitness Evidence Executive Summary Law enforcement officials have many resources and techniques to help apprehend suspects. The help of an eyewitness is one of the most beneficial resources they can receive. One way an eyewitness can help identify a suspect is by being involved in a police lineup. Another way an eyewitness can help capture a suspect is by getting involved in a composite image. The suspect lineup allows the witness a chance to help the police find the suspect in a crime. It is important for the police to maintain a good status when doing an eyewitness lineup because there have been many people falsely accused trough these lineups. The police believe with the witness present at the crime, he or she saw everything that happened and could possibly identify the suspect (Huff, 2002). The lineup consists of individuals that line up in a row that preferably look the same in gender, facial hair, ethnicity, age, and height (“Dallas Police Department”, n.d.). The witness should meditate back on the incident, and the officer must remind the eyewitness that the suspect may not be present. The police prefer the observer to use his or her memory when selecting from the police lineup, and during the lineup, the police should not coerce the witness in any form. The witness is assured by police of his or her security while...

...Police Officer Selection Process CJA/214 Police Officer Selection Process Local law enforcement officers hold the most important responsibility of working the “front lines” of crimes in communities all over the country. Some departments have the advantage because they deal with a smaller population, but there are cities with millions of people. Considering the vast sizes of population in different cities, it’s important to acknowledge that the task of a police officer should be designated to the best candidates. Furthermore, the training and education provided should be optimal so that officers are well equipped to secure public safety. Law enforcement agencies are structured based on their geographic locations; and can potentially be divided into districts if the terrain is large enough. Uniformed law enforcement officials usually patrol inside a designated area. Having officers constantly patrol the same areas allows them to familiarize themselves with the location. The familiarity allows police officers to quickly notice any irregularities among the community. Larger jurisdictions call for police officers to patrol the area in pairs. The reality is that officer constantly face criminals as they pursue or arrest them, enforce traffic laws, and resolving other problems throughout the community. The New York Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department are the most popular departments in the country but they have significant...

During a recent meeting of the command staff at a mid-sized police department, the chief asks the patrol captain for his recommendation for new flashlights. The captain responds, “I did a little research and I recommend that we purchase the DryLight, Model X flashlight”. The patrol captain’s research consisted of “asking a few of the officers” what they thought would be a good flashlight. Did the patrol captain actually conduct research? Why or why not? ANSWER: Technically, the patrol captain did some research. He conducted interviews which is a form of data collection. One could argue, however, that the patrol captain’s research was limited (pp. 7-8). 2. Respond to the following statement in 3-5 sentences: Conducting research in the social sciences and in criminal justice in particular is easier than in other sciences because the things we measure are so vague that nobody really cares if we get it right or not. ANSWER: Generally speaking, social science research is more challenging than some of the ‘hard sciences’ because the things social scientists study are difficult to measure objectively. As a result social scientists spend a great deal of time justifying how they measure concepts to their peers (pp. 4-5). 3. Read the following scenarios and identify which of the following...

...Introduction The general image of the police offers an overview of the public‟s perception of the police. Particular characteristics of the people, organization, or institution remain undifferentiated. Measures of the general image are useful because they provide a summary measure of the level of overall favorableness or support that the public holds for the police. The public image of the police is complex, making generalizations difficult. There is no single best measure of the police image. Many people in the 18–24 year age bracket were considerably more likely than older people to express negative views of police and to report dissatisfaction with their treatment by police. It is possible that their views will moderate as they get older. However, there is also a risk that public support for police might weaken over the longer term unless definite steps are taken to improve the relations between police and young people. Researchers examine general public perceptions of police behaviour and the complaints process. It deals with the public’s general perceptions of police behaviour and changes in the police ‘image’ in recent years, and then with issues relating to dissatisfaction with the respondents’ perceptions of, and experiences with, the complaints process. They explore the differences in the way particular demographic groups responded to the questions concerning police behavior and police ‘image’. The demographic factors reported on are age, gender and education. People...
