Sir Robert Peel’s principals and Community Policing share the same concepts and goals in policing. A main similarity is that preventing crimes is a number one priority. Crime prevention is not just the police’s responsibility but the communities as well because they share ownership, responsibility, and accountability for preventing crimes. When police take time to work with a community they can end up forming a strong relationship when it comes to dealing with crimes. If police want to gain the respect of their community, they must respect all of the different cultures in the neighborhoods they are working in.
Could be considered the conservative approach to the crime prevention module. Supporters prefer the “assembly line” (Worral p.14) method to expedite alleged criminals through the means of plea bargains to not clog up the courtrooms, which can be tied with quantity over quality. For example, meeting citation quotas or setting up DUI check points, which in essence is for the benefit of public safety; but can also be seeing as a way to increase revenue. One issue at the current moment would be the need for cameras on the uniforms of officers policing the street. The Due Process model would say that it is needed to make sure that officers properly follow procedures while questioning or detaining suspect on the street, in the case that something gets out of hand, a jury can see what actually happened.
“When crime rate goes up there is a further dip in the public perception of the police resulting in a greater antagonism towards the police on the part of the public “(1985). Peacemaking is the basic duty of the police force; if police is caught doing things that is not ethical in the community eyes the situation in the community will not change. The public perception of the police is the criminal justice system should work on the factors that cause the public to lower their trust in the way police treats their communities. Making better police in the community can result if there is better cooperation from the criminal justice system. The way police handles combating crime and brutality most attempts to redeem police image would involve education for both public and the police on the effectiveness crime control measures.
“It isn’t feasible to expect a police officer to enforce every law to the letter. The criminal justice system requires officers to have flexibility in dealing with cases since the interest of justice doesn't require all offenders to be punished to the full extent of the law. Officers exercise a large amount of police discretion in dealing with many cases, and it’s important to understand how this works.” The topic that will be discussed in this paper is about police discretion for the class of law enforcement. The areas that will be touch on in this paper is the meaning of words, some myths about discretion, the advantage/ disadvantage about the use of discretion, the positive use of discretion with police officers, some consequences with
In some communities they hold many of the same powers as the public police and are intended to uphold the same standards as their public counterparts. Private police can range from neighborhood watch to a large firm that handles security at business, apartments, and parks. With the private sector growing, lines of jurisdiction are getting blurred, as are the responsibilities and accountability of the private police. There is a need for the two branches to work together, find a common ground and provide the community with the safety that they deserve. Public and private police represent the same goal of security but with two distinct ways of approaching it.
Broken-windows theory has suggested a way of thinking in the community. Citizens feel safer when police departments conduct more foot patrols in the neighborhood, and feel the police were more aware of the crime that are occurring. As time progressed into the adaptation of the motorized patrol, some people felt that the police had lost touch with the community and were not aware of the small underlying issues of the bigger crimes that occurred. Through the theory of broken-windows, a zero-tolerance style of policing was developed. Some police departments, such as New York, implemented the zero tolerance style and claimed that it lowered their crime rates in the mid 1990’s.
Law enforcement officers need to uphold the law in order to enforce it, so police officers must have a strong sense of right and wrong and they must generally exhibit and encourage good behavior to the public. This sense of right and wrong and the desire to do good in the community is perhaps the most important trait a police officer needs to have. Police officers often find themselves in high-stress, volatile situations. At the other end of the spectrum, they deal with a lot of mundane, routine patrols. They deal with dishonest and dangerous people, and also victimized and abused people.
Sir Robert Peel has provided solutions to the abuse and mistreat of people, and evidence of society, his plan may not fixes all the crime problems but has contribute so much more prevention over the years especial with his nine principles. Peel argued that crime would go down by having crime prevention a part of the focus for social, Peel came up with nine principles that have made a better law enforcement and are a part of policing today. His first principle states basic reason for police force to prevent crime. Second principle police must secure the willing cooperation of the communities to obey laws in order and gain respect of the public. Third police must have the public’s approval to be effective.
Police departments’ effectiveness depends on its organization. Local police are assigned to areas, also known as beats, with the responsibility of maintaining order, ensuring that the law is upheld, and providing needed assistance to citizens. If communities are going to be safe to live in, then the police department must be well organized. As we continue to experience an increase in crime, police organization becomes more and more important, as it determines the police department’s effectiveness. One of the advantages of patrolling is that it gives potential criminals the fear of being caught in the act and citizens the peace of knowing that they are being protected against crime.
