It's not going to happen. But the Code is well known by all – from the chief on down. It allows some cops to operate unethically, even criminally, and it prevents good cops from stopping them.” (Quinn, 2005) Quinn claims that the code is the predominant motivator behind police behavior. Quinn also claims that there is a component of self-preservation in police using the code. It may allow them to forget some of the more horrific scenes they have experienced.
They wanted to own their neighborhood since back then racism was a major issue , so there only option was to make illegal papers so they can proceed with their business on the streets. Nazario was known for his fake legal management that they use to hold down all their businesses. Although their money was coming from selling drugs, people didn’t mind because they were view to be good helpful men’s. Whenever there was a problem everyone came to Bodega for help. They knew that he had the power as well as the money to make them live
The point of the speed limit is to give us a chance to stop and protect us and others. When you speed you have less chance of stopping if someone runs into a street etc. This is when minor laws become major laws and violent crimes. Our job as citizens is to obey laws minor or major, big or small. But if no one follows them then more and more won’t follow them.
Constant presentations over time of negative events, such as stabbings, fatal shootings and drug related activities have assisted in marring the Gold Coast’s reputation. It is true of course that the community needs to be aware of the violent events that are taking place for safety reasons as police union president Ian Levers warns “that it was only
However, convictions are rare due to the careful cover-up of evidence and a lack of reliable witnesses. One example of common behavior among organized crime groups is community manipulation. By offering threats of harm or promises of protection to the surrounding citizens of the community the organized crime group gains power and the ability to continue their criminal activity with a lesser chance of being caught. Law enforcement relies heavily on information from citizens while conducting criminal investigations. Organized crime participants are master manipulators and can easily instill fear in the citizens within the area.
The projects are war zones into which paramedics and even firefighters often won't enter without first getting armed protection from the police, even in an emergency. In the big projects of Chicago the residents and the administrators are at the mercy of the drug dealers and the drug users, the prostitutes and their pimps, and mostly the gang-bangers, many of whom are also drug dealers and drug users. The evil yet seductive power of gangs and the evil yet seductive power of drugs in Chicago are twin blights on every citizen, of course, but the grief lands mostly on the poor and the desperate. One day my supervisor handed me a first report of a rear-ender, which meant I had twenty-four hours to track down the claimant or have a good reason why I didn't. I was still new to Chicago, and I asked the 35-year-old woman behind me, Peggy, where the address was.
Using materials like anti-climb paint or neighbourhood watch schemes they make the target harder to achieve, or more risky. This process is called target hardening. An advantage of this is that it directly influences the criminal by allowing them to stop and think about the real consequences to their actions. Another concept that right realists believe should be implemented is a zero tolerance policy. A zero tolerance policy is a tough system of policing that was put into practice in New York, USA, in which even minor offences are punished.
In Elijah Anderson’s theory he says that there are groups in society that favor crime and violence. This group values violence and has their own set of rules on how to handle situations. In Code of the Streets he talks about “street culture” and how some neighborhoods are at a disadvantage. These disadvantage neighborhoods are full of racial inequality and have limited economical opportunities. This in turn, promotes the street culture that leads to violence.
Based on the facts; believing in “an eye for and eye” is not such a bad thing so long as the justice system follows suit. The time should match the crime equally. There are innocent bystanders caught up in the terror of crime every day and to their horror, end up watching hardened criminals walk the streets because of courts that wanted to lighten the punishment due to a first offence. It is no wonder; people take matters into their own hands. This is not justice and something needs to be done to correct the current situation our justice system is in.
These certain people also call for a great amount of street smarts to go along with their professionalism. 3.
