People naturally assume that the police are well-trained to use force appropriately and fairly without prejudices. Sadly, According to Ross, the training given to law enforcement officers is inadequate and, in many instances, even biased against those who they think are a threat. In truth, there is no uniform preparation of law enforcement officers, no federal rules or guidelines regulating their training, and as of yet, no consistent set of federal standards for police confrontations (Ross). Envisioning a future without race-based police brutality seems almost unachievable. So what can be done to improve the racial bias that proliferates police departments and law enforcement officers?
How far do you agree that ‘new’ crimes since 1900 are simply old crimes in a new format? Since the 1900’s, there have been many changes and improvements made to the law; concerning Great Britain. Some are changed in order to prevent small priority crimes, such as petty theft; whilst some have been altered in order to prevent crimes that have materialised over the ‘Digital Era’. However, many 21st century crimes are merely offenses that have been committed since the 1900’s. For example; the selling of poor girls into prostitution was a problem in 19th century cities.
The journal does not truly seem to provide any usefully information because it does not reveal much of the educational side of their psycho-education. It does however provide all of the information of the experiment. It shows all the results, which does not hold much meaning due to the current outcome. The information that was provided in this trail is just a more detailed description of an unsuccessful trial. The information that was found on Google and in other psychological websites gives more information about the disease and how to manage it for the individual, family, and friends.
Your Genes, Your Choices 1.Why are fingerprints not always helpful in catching criminals? (main idea/detail) Fingerprints aren't always helpful in catching criminals, however. People who commit crimes often remember to wear gloves or at least to wipe away their prints. Even when police find a print, they can only compare it to the ones they have on file. If the culprit has never been arrested before, police won't find a match.
Some of the main challenges the investigators were facing in the case involving U.S. drug agent Enrique Camarena in Guadalajara were the crime scene was not secured and was contaminated by police and people who just wanted to look. Even though there was such a gap in being able to process the crime scene there is no crime that is committed without leaving some kind of evidence behind. Five large bags were recovered by the investigators by the time the plate was discovered. Complicated the case was that there was a month between the time the two agents died and when their bodies were found decomposing. Since this happened the evidence needed had to begin with the job that the agents were assigned to so that a link could be found from those crimes that tied them in with the death of the agents.
The governor and other state officials were enthusiastic about using foot patrol as a way of cutting crime, but many police chiefs were skeptical. (The Police and neighborhood safety George L. Kelling March 1982) Foot patrol, in their eyes, had been pretty much discredited. It reduced the mobility of the police, who thus had difficulty responding to citizen calls for service, and it weakened headquarters control over patrol officers. Many police officers also disliked foot patrol, but for different reasons: it was hard work, it kept them outside on cold, rainy nights, and it reduced their chances for making a “good
Most individuals do not report crimes for fear of retaliation of the criminals, failure of the police to take proper action to protect the “snitch”. There is a saying “snitches get stitches”, meaning

The staff was not comprised of employees who had a lot of experience working in the prison system, so they were not familiar with the types of problems that can and often arises in the corrections department. The prison has a history of employees quitting soon after being hired because they find working in the prison system is not a job they want to perform long term. Finding people who are willing to work in the system for low pay and great hazards is a hard task for the officials of the department of corrections, and staffing issues continue to play a major part in the problems having qualified individuals at the right
There was nothing to say that legal advice during questioning was on offer and neither were there any limits on detention many miscarriages of justice arose from this point in time (Yesufu. 2013). According to Lord Scarman (1986) there is not enough supervision during the process of arrest and interrogation and the police are able to continue the process away from the gaze and commands of senior officers. This could further lead to miscarriages of justice as the police have immense discretion on what they perceive to be criminal activity, but we as a society trust the police to do their job and to use their discretion while questioning suspects.
