It is usually recommended that any career use honesty as a quality, but it is extremely important that criminal justice professionals have honesty as well. Law enforcement is occasionally known for being corrupt, and it is so important for our law enforcement officers to be truthful on all applications, reports, and everyday work. This provides for more efficient and trustworthy public servants. The most important reason for honesty is simply to ensure that the innocent stay that way and are not caught in the lies of the accusers. Criminal justice professionals play an important role in the court system, and if they lie on accusations and evidence, the innocent become victims of the dishonesty.
We must be sure that finding those answers are done ethically from the crime scene to trial. The Investigator Ethical Considerations From the moment the investigator gets a case professionalism, knowledge of laws and procedure is what has to be followed. If at any time the investigator became biased and used emotion instead of just facts of the case could be compromised. Remaining unbiased in either homicide or rape can be extremely difficult for even the most ethical investigators. Handling evidence properly is one of the most crucial points of any investigation.
The First Amendment reads: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment makes it legal to burn the American Flag. Lastly, flag burning should not be illegal because, if it were to be, Americans would have their right taken away. As Supreme Court Justice William Brennan stated, in a flag burning case, "Punishing desecration of the flag dilutes the very freedom that makes this emblem so
As to the areas identified for this paper, it is not a mere act of speaking or body language but rather the targeted results every member of this systems hopes to achieve. For the police officers, knowing how and when to interchange these skills is vital to every investigation and they must keep in mind that one size does not fit all when it come communication. The more effective an officer can be in utilizing this skill, the better his or her chances becomes in solving the problem, testifying in court, speaking to their peers, or inmates in a correctional facility. Effective communication helps police officers to identify additional, alternative courses of action when responding to calls for service. Being good listeners and understanding the importance of spatial relations and other nonverbal communication allow officers to defuse potentially violent situations and resolve them in a peaceful
Every report of abuse is often met with denial or explanation of why the abuse was necessary instead of taking any real action like a suspension or removal of their badge in most cases. Police departments seem to be paying more money defending themselves in court than on proper training of their police officers. Each precinct has their own, yet similar set of rules and regulations when it comes to use of force, as we learned from out two officer speakers. According to our San Diego precincts, the only time they are to use deadly force is when they, or civilians are in a life threatening situations. There are many examples of excessive force that will examine what’s being done to address the issue.
The concern with this model is a quick and speedy conviction despite the innocence of the alleged criminal. Many wrongful convictions have been overturned because of the proponents of the crime control model. The due process model prevents and eliminates mistakes and protects the truly innocent. The entire process is fair and balanced. There are many cases I heard of and read where defendants were found not guilty after serving
I firmly believe that police brutality is too often overlooked. And I also believe that I will one day expose the chinks in the armor of the New York Police Department. Police brutality is the act of a law officer abusing a citizen either through physical contact, verbal assaults, or threats. Police brutality is often referred to as an over excessive use of force. Some would believe that this abusive force may sometimes be necessary for criminals that seriously need to be apprehended and are not complying with orders, but that force should only extend to a certain degree, which is just enough to subdue that criminal.
The key difference between these two models is that the crime control model is much more harsh and unrelenting; it emphasizes controlling crime via punishing suspects while the due process model emphasizes careful examination to ensure less innocent people are unjustly convicted. The crime control model places an emphasis on "placing as few restrictions as possible on the ability of law enforcement officers to make discretionary decisions in apprehending criminals"(Gaines). Under this model, courts would be more willing to convict offenders, even with an absence of compelling evidence. For example, a court would be more willing to accept a police officer's account of a homicide without careful cross-examination under the crime control model in order to repress crime. In contrast, the due process model emphasizes "protecting the rights of the accused through formal, legal restraints on the police, courts, and corrections" (Gaines).
Bear in mind that the Bill of Rights guarantees that the federal government must ensure the rights contained therein. There is nothing in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights that promises the states will preserve any rights at all. After the Civil War, it became apparent that the Southern states were going to do everything possible to make life difficult for the slaves who were now freed. So the 14th Amendment makes clear in its language that the states must provide all the "privileges or immunities" of citizenship, and the 15th makes clear that race may not affect these rights. Without this language, the states would have been free to do as they pleased (The United States Constitution,
Since the beginning of time, crime and punishment has been handed down by people who are considered law enforcement. In the olden times, the King was the sheriff, judge, jury, and punisher for crimes that where committed by individuals. Over the many years technology has increasingly continued to develop and has helped law enforcement officers in their investigating their cases and helped the officers in completing their jobs. The present policing trend is continuing to change with the technology. The transcription of information by law enforcement officers is a new popular trend.
