Other questions that I will also talk about are how to reduce ethical problems in an investigation, what prosecution problems could arise and what ethical issues are related to the prosecution. What are the specific ethical considerations that need to be addressed when investigating the specific crime? When an investigator is investigating a rape, he or she would need to be very sympathetic and try to understand that the victim is going through a horrific incident. The investigator must be very careful when asking the victim questions about the rape and the suspect/suspects and not to assume anything. This information could be used as evidence later when it goes to trial in court.
Demonstrate how support is provided to citizens by statutory and non-statutory public services. Statutory – The police is a statutory service that has to look after the public, by trying to improve the communities, make sure of citizens safety and serving the public. The police have to be there for us in almost any emergency situation in order to maintain control and prevent any crime. Their purpose is to keep the crime rate as low as possible, help the public in emergency situations and reassure us. The police are there to help by phone, internet or in person.
The men and woman of law enforcement risk their lives daily to make sure the citizens in their area are safe. There are certain races, ages and times of the day in which an officer is assaulted or killed in the line of duty. In order to get accurate statistics, in-depth research has to be done. In order to design an accurate research on statistics on “Officers Assaulted or Killed in the Line of Duty” you must start with the programs that accurately analyze the individual states that report such activity within their department. Once this information is obtained, than one can determine an approximate national average of officers assaulted or killed in the line of duty.
Investigating unsolved inci dents is an important task and still must be done, but criminal investigators should respond system atically to recurring crimes arising from the same problem. In order for criminal investigators to be more efficient and effective, they must gather infor mation about incidents and design an appropriate response based on the nature of the underlying conditions that cause the problem(s). A data-driven analytic approach, led and supported by investiga tors, would best position police
Law Enforcement Danna Robbins CRJ 201: Introduction to Criminal Justice Dawn Aldrich 05/06/2013 Law Enforcement Law enforcement broadly refers to any system by which some members of society act in an organized manner to promote adherence to the law by discovering and punishing persons who violate the rules governing that society. It is most frequently referred to those who directly engage in patrols and surveillance to dissuade and discover criminal activity and those who investigate crimes and apprehend offenders. The public view of policing is police officers patrolling streets and responding to emergency crime calls; police detectives interviewing witnesses, examining forensic clues, checking records and interrogating suspects;
Emma Yates UNIT 39: From Crime Scene to Court It is the job of the FSI to find and collect evidence left behind by offenders on the crime scene. Using the latest forensic techniques they look for all sorts of evidence. The FSIs follow several procedures. To stop potential evidence being destroyed, lost or contaminated they preserve and protect the crime scene. FSIs then start to work with the investigating officers.
Law enforcement agencies today still patrol the streets with the goal to prevent crimes. Public approval and cooperation were the two principals of effective policing. Peel stated that police should perform duties upon public approval and must secure the cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to maintain the public’s respect (Larrabee, A. 2012). Police need to understand the different cultures which can be accomplished by training and education.
Cang Truong Period 2 English 2A Masks of society Being a Police Officer is mask of society, because it allows him/her to justify the means for his/her’s evil deeds. For example, if an ordinary civilian were to try to commit an evil, barbaric action, they would be chastised heavily. As a police officer however, you can commit any sort of barbaric, savage action, and get away with it. As a police officer, you are even handed the weapons needed to commit these heinous crimes, and an ample amount of excuses and privileges. Police officers command authority, and most of the things that police officers do aren’t chastised or critiqued by others.
Sixth principles “Police use Physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion advice and warning is found to be insufficient”. A lot of police agencies get in a lot of trouble because of wrongful death or injury. You can only use deadly force when the public put the officer in danger life or harming the public. If he uses the deadly force he has to have a better reason to the chief to use that type of force. Seventh principle, “Police at all times should maintain a relationship with the public that gives realty to historic tradition that police are the public the public are police the police being only members of the public who are paid attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the
