In criminal justice many documents are written to make sure that everything is done correctly. Police officers fill out reports when they have a case. If they do not fill out the report properly it could do damage when it comes to the situation going to court, if it does go to court. Verbal communication is important in the same sense. When someone is talking to you the person needs to speak clearly and not leave any words out.
Everyone here is trying to help someone, so we can have a better society. We have learned that in the criminal justice system there are many different ways to communicate with people or criminals. Depending on which approach we take, we can get a different outcome or result. Nevertheless, what we do know is that communication is very important in our lives and is used on a daily basis. Making sure that we communicate effectively is vital when expecting a certain response and sometimes we need to be sure what we say or how we word things is done in an appropriate way.
Public policing also involves the response to emergency calls through the call system and at times, they must be present in court as the result of citations given for violating a specified law by citizens. If an arrest results, the officer is then required to transport a suspect to a facility where a booking process takes and the officer relinquishes the suspect to the facility’s workers. There can be at times, a great deal of paperwork involved within the roles of public policing because the officer must give an account of the incident. Public policing can be performed on foot, within a patrol car, motorcycle, or even as a mounted police. There are also various
Both of these functions are important for the protection of the public safety and the operation of the system. Adjudication is one primary focuses of the courts today. This means that the courts have to decide who is going to have to answer for a criminal act. If there wasn’t adjudication, prosecutors would be filing charges in vain. Courts play an important part in determine who is and isn’t guilty.
In a situation as this the the accountability of the officer includes maintaining public safety, as well as the offenders, abide by the law in apprehending the offender that put everyone around in danger, that was left to you to uphold, and ensure the reasoning for the pursuit is identifiable to be held up in court. The ramifications include completing all of the above successfully, or being responsible for a possible tragedy. The second part of this assignment requests that we Give an example of a specific situation where accountability for their actions may affect their decision making in enforcing the law. An example officers face that they may take into their accountability when making a decision is: An officer is patrolling the streets and notices that a car swerving irrationally from one side of the road to off the road. He decides to pull the car over under probable cause that something is not right.
Criminal Procedure Policy Sylvia Spivey CJA 364 March 5, 2012 Carl Schiff Criminal Procedure Policy The criminal justice system has changed many times after it had been developed and is still changing and will always change.

The criminal justice system in this country is very important in our society it provides order, safety, and it punishes those who choose to break the law. It serves to protect the innocent and punishes the guilty, hopefully after you read the following you will understand the two models of the criminal justice system and how similar they are and as well as the differences that each have. With these two models and how they interact with the rights that
The differences between hearing and listening; which shows that one must be an active listener in order to properly and effectively communicate with others. Formal and informal channels of communication have different forms of how a message is delivered. Barriers to effective communication that law enforcement professionals encounter on a daily basis which are emotional, physical, semantics, and ineffective listening and strategies to improve those barriers. These strategies include creating peer groups among officers; limit the amount of information being delivered, and choosing words and phrases that are easier to understand. Communication is a very difficult skill to master, but with hard work and improved communications skills training people could learn how to become effective listeners and communicators.
Legal knowledge is very important for police officers to have an understanding in law like rules of evidence and the fourth amendment that protects individuals from illegal search and seizures. All these subjects are taught in the police academy but it is really important for police candidates to have basic knowledge of laws before they start the academy. Some departments have a residency requirement
However, our communities want police officers to use reason and the law when fighting this fight. In order to do that correctly there are several principles we must follow in order to always be on the right side of the law. The first principle I think is important is in regards to use of force. Tennessee v. Garner (1985) and Graham v. Conner (1989) is where law enforcement agencies determine what force is “necessary” for them to use. A police officer must be able to defend themselves or another if they reasonably
When discussing research methods in the criminal-justice system, a vital role has to be acted out by the researcher. Researchers should know that without the ability to conduct effective research, there would be problems in some areas of the justice system. Another area of research is the terminology that is used among law enforcement, doctors, etc. Terminology is important when being used during any type of study within the criminal-justice system. This paper will cover some of the terminology researchers may use on a daily basis and what methods could be applied to the Criminal Justice System.
