Min Xiao Dr. Melissa Jacques ENGL 112-101 8 February 2013 Rhetorical Analysis of “The Caging of America” In his article in the New Yorker, Adam Gopnik introduces the current condition of the prison system in America and the increased number of the prison population. He does not simply introduce the cause of mass incarceration, but he also discusses the relationship between the mass incarceration and the crime rate.

Peel introduced the idea of officers patrolling “beats” to maintain a visible police presence in different communities. Peel borrowed organizing police operations from the military which included hierarchical organization, uniforms, rank designations, and an authoritarian system of command and discipline. These forms of policing still exist in American police administrations today. Peel also uses these nine principles: (1) The basic mission for whom the police exist
The commerce clause refers to Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution. This section of the Constitution gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes (Cornell University Law School, n.d.).” This has been used in past court cases when states attempts enact statutes that burdens interstate commerce. The courts will evaluate if the other 49 states have any regulations on their truck hitches. How much it will cost the truckers to make change to these new truck hitches. The courts would also look into what the burden would be on the truckers to switch the hitches at the border of Confusion and what the burden would be for the truckers to have to avoid Confusion all

Also this paper will identify the principle role and functions of police organizations, their roles as it applies to the law, and also identify the major organizational theories associated with policing. To begin the United States has just about 18,000 law enforcement agencies. This number of agencies includes 12,646 local police, 3,061 sheriff’s departments, 49 state police agencies, 1,376 special police agencies, and 45 federal agencies (Schmalleger, 2009) The first type of agency is the federal agencies. Federal agencies are United States government agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) which are empowered by congress and whose primary responsibility is to enforce federal criminal laws. The second type of agency would be state agencies whose responsibilities is to assist local law enforcement agencies with their criminal investigations, operate centralized identification bureaus, maintain criminal records, patrol state highways, and provide training for both county and municipal officers.
A civilian review board is an effort to control police behavior by establishing an exteral form of review for allegations of police misconduct. Police departments have implemented these boards in order to investigate complaints against the police. However, department investigate complaints themselves usually. Citizen input in these review boards can be traced to the Progressive Era (1890-1913). The discussion about the civilian review board has been broken down into three time periods, which are known as the “climates of opinion.” The late 1950s and 1960s, known as the first era, is when different forms of the civilian review board were first suggested.
Government agencies use these reports to document crime and do further research on crime in the nation. After a few years of reporting with the first program created, the UCR or Uniform Crime Reporting Program, another program had evolved from that having the FBI designated to coordinate the latest program, NIBRS or the Nation Incident Based Reporting System. With the UCR you could not differentiate between misdemeanor and felony crimes, so the NIBRS was created to gather more in depth and detailed crime data. The NIBRS collects detailed data on every single crime occurrence. Along with those programs came the NCVS or National Crime Victimization Survey, this survey is a self-reporting survey which victims report their own incidents.
Our criminal justice system is headed by the United States Supreme Court. The Federal Court System is the Judicial Branch of the United States Government and is comprised of nine different types of courts, ninety-four districts and twelve regional circuits plus several supporting agencies. (US Courts Systems, 2010) Our correctional system punishes offenders differently depending on which law(s) they have violated and how severely. For example, the punishment in the state of Florida for a marijuana conviction can include, but is not limited to the following indirect penalties: * Ineligibility for public employment without enrolling in a drug treatment program for any conviction; * Ineligibility for Florida Bright Futures scholarships; * Ineligibility for State financial aid; * Ineligibility for state licenses, permits or certifications without enrolling in a drug treatment program for any felony conviction; * A potential three-year ban on public housing for any misdemeanor or felony conviction; * A five-year ban on eligibility to adopt a child or become a foster parent, and even after the ban is lifted you will have to
