...Annette Davis Inside Public and Private Policing CJA 500 Survey of Administration & Justice Dr. John Baiamonte, Jr. November 1, 2010 Assignment Write a 1500 to 2000 word paper that compares and contrasts the roles, responsibilities, and differences of public and private policing. Cite at least two scholarly works (articles or books) or government documents. However, your textbook cannot be used as a source. Public policing has been known to have a monopoly on policing until the increased trend of private policing in the United States. Private policing, while emerging as a new industry, is not a new phenomenon and predates the existence of public police as witnessed today (Wilson 1994). Public and private policing have many similarities, as well as differences and the distinction between public and private police are often blurred. Private police look and behave like public police and describing their function often involves a comparison of the activities and responsibilities of the two. Despite the differences, public and private police tend to mirror each other to a certain extent (Nalla & Newman, 1990). The increase of private policing has been in response to many changes in society such as the increase of "mass private property" (Shearing and Stenning, 1983) in the form of large shopping complexes, cinemas, large retail stores and large compound style housing estates or gated communities. These require constant surveillance for the safety of shoppers and residents...

...Politics and Security in Southeast Asia: Terrorists, Gangsters and the State Name Course Date The issue of security and corruption are related because of how they influence each other. Over the passage of time, the security forces in various countries have compromised their ethical behavior to try and gain wealth. As such, they end up compromising the safety of a country and putting the welfare of the citizens at stake. It is imperative to note that the success of any nation or society depends on the security situation prevailing at any given time. However, the current situation in most of the countries is that of political corruption. Thus, the individuals in charge of security take bribes thus influencing the safety status of a state (Magazzino 2014). According to the constitution of any state, the primary role of the government is to offer security to their citizens at all times. Besides, they are charged with the responsibility of appointing the security personnel that will be in charge of those operations . Therefore, the government acts according to the mandate bestowed upon them by the constitution of the country to protect their citizens in the right manner. If they fail in such duties, the citizens have the power to ask for changes in the leadership at that time. Based on the previous analysis, it is evident that the government plays a significant role in the security situation in any given country (Perito...

...(1) What is the relevance of the particular case under discussion? Why should students spend their time reading it? Why is this case significant? This case shows the importance of accountability within public administration. As well as the protection of the public. On page 18 of “American Public Administration: Public Service for the 21st Century” Robert Cropf asks “How do we ensure that bureaucrats remain accountable?” A tough question to answer in the face of political agendas at work in our society. This case is an example of how public servants are manipulated into activities and behaviors which favor business at the expense of public safety. It is a lesson which every public servant especially those higher up the chain must learn and remain steadfast in their avoidance of learning once more. Additionally, this case is significant in that public servants are not immune to prosecution for their crimes or their perceived acts of good intentions. “While the labels differ, most working in this area agree that governmental, political, or state crimes are illegal or socially injurious acts committed for the benefit of a state or its agencies, not for the personal gain of some individual agent of the state” (Matthews, R., & Kauzlarich, D., 2000). (2) What are the basic chronology of facts in the case? What is the basic sequence of events? Jan 31, 1996, ValuJet purchased two MD-82s and one MD-83 on Feb. 1, 1996.

...global view, the philosophy of punishment has been embodied in four major theoretical positions: vengeance, deterrence, rehabilitation ,and prevention. These positions overlap and intertwine with each other, but a degree of evolution is also evident. The comments made below on these four positions must be understood simply as broad generalizations. ___________________ (1) Gregory Zilboorg, M.D., The Psychology of the Criminal Act and Punishment, Greenwood Press, New York, 1968 , p. 97. - Ernest van den Haag, Punishing Criminals ,New York: Basic Books, Inc., Publishers, U.S.A, 1975 , pp. 14-15. When punishment is justified on the basis of vengeance or retribution, two major concepts are involved: 1. Punishment is an end in itself. 2. The act committed deserves punishment. If punishment is an end in itself, then it cannot be considered a means of reforming the criminal. If the primary justification for punishment is that the act deserves punishment, then we eliminate two important factors: any gain...

...There is a close interconnection between the two concepts, especially on an international level therefore their positive and negative impacts on crime and criminal justice will be discussed together and then a separate analysis of neo-liberalism and its effects on crime will be examined from a local perspective. Globalisation defined Globalisation is not static, but is rather a dynamic process which involves the growing interconnectedness of states and societies that enmesh human communities with each other, easy mobility of goods and services across countries, electronic communications transcending borders and creating independence from territorially confined units of political power (Massari 2003). These key tenets, which encompass the definition of globalisation, will be discussed with regard to their impacts on crime. Neo-liberalism defined Neo-liberalism can be defined as a set of political beliefs which include the idea that the role of the state in crime control should be minimal as the only legitimate purpose of the state is to protect the individual (O’Malley 2008). Neo-liberalism generally includes the belief that the most efficient way to organise all exchanges of goods and services in human society is through freely adopted market mechanisms leading to greater cost effectiveness, individual liberty and moral virtue (Thorsen & Lie 2000). Individuals in society are empowered to accept the risks associated with participating in free markets and be responsible...

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...

...GE 1301- PROFESSIONAL ETHICS AND HUMAN VALUES UNIT I & II – HUMAN VALUES The Story of a Carpenter An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house- building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss his paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career. When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed over the house key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “it is my parting gift to you.” What a shock! What a Shame! If only he had known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he built none too well. (Modified from LIVING WITH HONOUR by SHIV KHERA) Do we find ourselves in similar situations as the carpenter? Moving through our work hours fast paced, driven to “get the job done”, without much thought to moral values. How do we regain our focus as individuals and organizations? This is the challenge for the employee and the employer. Ethics are fundamental standards of conduct by which we work as a professional. VALUES Values...
