Policing Paper Proper policing and its structure of the policing structure has always been under scrutiny from the past, present and the future. Most professionals in the criminal justice system search for that one specific strategy that will dramatically instill a positive structure for policing. According to (Walker, S., & amp ; Katz, 2011) “ Herman Goldstein’s approach to policing represents a proactive to policing, rather than a reactive approach to policing. Policing is more than just a response to 911 calls policing involves problem solving to identify recurring problems and developing strategies to reduce and eliminate recurring problems.” Structure or Problem- Solving Policing From 1980 Herman Goldstein upstarted a new structure of policing by solving problems and preventing specific...

...Running Head: Traditional versus Contemporary Policing. Traditional versus Contemporary Policing Name: Course Title: Instructor’s Name: Institution: Date: Traditional versus Contemporary Policing The police force is a law enforcement agency that is mandated to enforce law by the state. Its main purpose is to prevent civil disorder and protect individuals as well as public and private property. The force has permission to use force where necessary. These forces form separate entities from the military and other forces charged with protecting states against foreign aggression. However, it has to be noted that such forces also have internal policing units too, such as the military police-which polices both the military and civilians. Law enforcement is not the only exclusive policing activity. The police are also involved in many other community service activities under various circumstances, but the most common ones are related to law and order preservation (Paynich, Russell & Cosner, 2005). The police force has evolved through time and most of its early policing techniques (traditional policing) have been found to be unreliable, and as a result contemporary policing methods (proactive policing techniques) have taken over the policing process. Traditionally, officers from the police have tried to reduce and prevent crime through making visible patrols, responding to crimes when they occur, making arrests as well as subsequent criminal investigations...

...5/2/2012 Police Innovations American policing over the last three decades has gone through many changes and innovations. Police and researchers try to create innovations in order to prevent or reduce crime. Following the white flight and the development of suburban towns, police started to switch from their standard practices to improve their procedures. This paper will explain and compare ten police innovations in order to show how police officers and researchers work to reduce crime. These innovations include problem-oriented policing, community policing, “broken windows” policing, Compstat, hot spots policing, “pulling levers” policing, evidence-based policing, third party policing, Intelligence-led policing, and predictive policing. In addition, it will contain a personal recommendation of which reform police agencies should implement. The paper will explain specific examples on how this reform will be helpful to police agencies. Police and scholars work to enhance reforms vigorously in order to decrease crime, assist with community needs, and prevent further delinquency. Certain police reforms provide more decision-making power to the individual beat officer, and problem-oriented police gives vast amounts of discretion to them. Problem oriented policing (POP) is a logical way of looking at the problem in policing. The POP reform works to understand and analyze crime and policing tactics to try to prevent the crime or at least manage to slow the frequency of the crime...

...Assignment # 1 Evidence-Based Policing Abstract [This paper talks about evidence based-policing. I describe evidence based-policing and discuss and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of evidence-based policing. I also discuss about examples of where evidenced based policing has been utilized and summarize the impact and consequences. This paper explains a great deal of information with evidence-based policing and how it has evolved.] Evidence-based policing is “The use of the best available research on the outcomes of police work to implement guidelines and evaluate agencies, units and officers” (Schmallager, 2011 pg.157). Evidence based policing uses research into everyday police procedures to evaluate current practices and to guide officers and police executives in future decision making, (Schmallager, 2011 pg 158). Evidence-based policing has been dated back to the discovery of police officers. Countries have done tests on different areas to gather more information concerning that area. For example, in Britain, the government invested heavily in police resources. However, they did not establish how to obtain best value the money in deploying those resources. Even today, evidenced-based policing is gaining traction and has been called the single “most powerful force for change” in policing today, (Schmallager, 2011 pg. 159). The organization of American law enforcement has been called the most complex in the world. There are three major legislative and judicial...

Retiza Victor Paulo Butcon BSCRIM1 March 2014 Table of Contents Title Page Introduction Introduction: The world is not as easy as it looks to be, at one time people could sleep with their windows up and doors unlocked, but in today’s society people have to lock and close the windows. Crime today is very rampant and is at an ultimate high which the world is slowly falling apart. You can think and ask yourself, what is happening to our world today? Teenagers are not what they use to be. A long time ago, teenagers were loyal, respectful, and helpful to their parents, but not anymore. Today’s teenagers live their own lives. They do what they want when they want, and they don’t listen to anyone much less to their parents. These teens drinks, use illegal drugs, steal, and murder. They also feel the need to be accepted by their own kinds. This is how gangs are formed. A gang is a group of criminals or hoodlums who band together for mutual protection and profit. These gangs are the greatest cause of crime in the world today because they participate in frivolous act in order to survive. To become a gang member one must go through an initiation which could consist of anything from shoplifting to murder. One initiation includes...

...Community Policing George Chu DeVry University Abstract Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the organized use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques, to positively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder and fear of crime. The police departments for many years have maintained a stressed relationship with the community it serves. The several police department has not aggressively pursued a positive image within the community. The community perceives the police in a negative perception. The community feels that the police department is out of touch with their needs and values. The community also feels that their respective neighborhoods are not safe and that the police department could do a better job of responding. Another community complaint is that the police department could do a better job of patrolling the communities. This research paper will be on community policing and it will weigh the pros and cons of community policing. This research paper will also address the part of how important community policing values of the community it serves. Community Policing Crime has been one of the most important and debated issues in the United States and is largely assumed to be a major problem that keeps getting worse. The media strongly portrays television crime stories through numerous productions. Productions such as, Without Trace, America’s...

...Criminal Justice Trends Evaluation Anthony Tomlin CJA/394 May 1, 2014 Professor Ken Jones Criminal Justice Trends Evaluation The American criminal justice system serves as a means for retribution and rehabilitation for criminals. In the early inception of the criminal justice system juries held the sentencing powers – convicting most criminals to death. Over the years sentencing powers shifted to judges. In this paper we will discuss the problems and changes in the criminal justice processes. The criminal justice system is not perfect but over the years there has been an continued improvement in the process. There are issues with the system that are being addressed such as prison overcrowding, three strikes rule, the disparity in sentencing for certain drug convictions, and the sentencing of minority groups. There are several future trends, such as training and educating law enforcement personnel, rehabilitating criminals, and law enforcement being proactive versus reactive. There are changes in the criminal justice system occurring and changes being lobbied by politicians. The future of criminal justice is constantly evolving with time but the full extent of how the changes will affect the system is not fully known. Some suggest laws of the past have been left behind by society and that change to the criminal justice system requires an overhaul to laws. Understand some of the crimes individuals commit warrant the sentencing received because...

...Research Paper “Are you aware your daughter is with two black men?” This is what Houston cops asked Oklahoma parents when they called concerning the white couple’s teenage daughter. Thirteen-year-old Landry Thompson, a dancer, had been in Houston to film a hip-hop video. She was accompanied by her dance instructor and dance partner, two black men in their twenties. Convinced she was a runaway, officials took Thompson to child protective services and arrested the men. Thompson’s mother replied to the question with a simple “Yes, I’m aware of that” and officials later learned the men had a notarized letter from the parents stating they had guardianship over Thompson for the time being. The men are “close family friends that we trust explicitly with our children,” Thompson’s mother said. “They just happen to be black.” It seems officers have yet to adopt the old saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” into their line of work. Many people favor a type of policing system which allows cops wide authority to get up close and personal with people they deem “suspicious,” as in the example above. A lot of the supporters just so happen to be white, but there are also may supporters who are residents of the “urban” areas who believe their community is in need of this type of monitoring. Does that make “order-maintenance” policing any less problematic? When there are people from both sides at hand in favor of it, does that mean we disregard the underlying flaws, allowing racial profiling...

...crimes committed in a region was the beginning of a new era in the field or crime prevention. The data records helped to identify the repeat criminals and the nature of crime that they commit. This also helped in providing a better judgment to the convicts. With the dawn of Information Technology, these records were transferred to the systems and this made it possible for the forces around the country to share the data and access it anytime and from any location. This further strengthened the power of the forces against the intelligent criminals. At this stage the Research and Development firms in USA law enforcement agency FBI, started experimenting with the data and the predicting algorithms used by major marketing and retail chains like Wal-Mart. Their research showed results and concluded that Police can use a similar data analysis to help make their work more efficient. The idea is being called "predictive policing," and some in the field believe it has the potential to transform law enforcement by enabling police to anticipate and prevent crime instead of simply responding to it....

...‘’Rape’’ a social problem that continues to occur daily and is seldom reported, the rape of a women and children is a violent and alarmingly common crime, often committed by men the victims know and trust A rapist can come from any race, social class or environment. For many years South Africa has been considered the rape capital of the world, some analysis’s tend to blame this scourge on our countries history of apartheid and violence. Over the years the precise definition of rape has varied and thus there is no single agreed definition of rape. In 2012, the FBI changed their definition from "The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will." to "The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object or by oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." The new South African law around rape came into effect in December 2007. This law is called the Sexual Offences and Related Matters Amendment Act, No. 32 of 2007 and considers that males too can be victims of rape. Rape is an act of Sexual Penetration of a victim, without their consent. Rape occurs when * Someone inserts their genital organs into the mouth, anus or genital organs of a victim * Any part of someone’s body, such as a finger, goes into the anus or genital organs of the victim * Any object, like a stick or a bottle is put into the anus or genital organs of the victim * The genital organs of an animal are put...
