Police Influence on Society Shaketra Jones CJA/344 Torria Richardson April 8, 2013 The criminal justice system has come a long way from years ago. Changes to the criminal justice system have changed in many of ways since years ago but some changes have not. One of the changes within the system is how the law enforcement officers deal with people around the world. The population of people from different races is steady growing causing the law enforcement officers to learn how to deal with different ethnic groups. Because of the continuous growth of the population and crime, officers have been force to treat them all differently.
The use of police force is highly important and can make a huge difference in society. It can make an impact and affect the outcome of a situation. There are people that like the police and there are people who hate them. Regardless of what your opinion is about the use of police force, one should take into account that it is much needed. Police force protects our rights as citizens, enforces the law, and it helps shape a society to make moral and ethical decisions.
Concept of Police Personality Paper Charles Reedy Jr. CJA/333 November 14, 2011 Daniel Jones The personality of a police officer can be no different from a person that’s not an officer. The difference will be how a police officer applies his or her personality towards the job. A police officer is faced with many different challenges on the daily basis, and how he or she conducts her or himself on and off the job, and this will determine if that officer is truly dedicated and knowledgeable about their job. The personality of the officer is always a key factor on the outcome of the situations that may arise. Concept of Police Personality Paper Police officers are faced with life and death situations on the daily basis, and at times this can alter the personality of that individual.
Police Brutality In recent years, police actions, particularly police abuse, has come into view of a wide, public and critical eye. While citizens worry about protecting themselves from criminals, it has now been shown that they must also keep a watchful eye on those who are supposed to protect and serve. This paper will discuss the types of police abuse prevalent today, including the use of firearms and receipt of private information. I will also discuss what and how citizens' rights are taken advantage of by police. For these problems, solutions will be discussed, focusing on political reform, education, and citizen review boards.
Rape Culture in the Media The media is certainly a prominent force in the world today, whether this be in a positive or negative manner. In this case, it has a mixed effect on how rape culture is affecting our society. Once something is placed in the media, it can travel extremely quickly, which will spark many responses.

In the end, rape culture is definitely being spread through the media, often in a negative way.
Ucas personal statement draf 1 Criminology is a subject that will always be relevant in society because Criminology looks at the different aspects such as why criminal offences are committed within society. Could it be the impact of primary and secondary socialisation on each individual? Another question that I feel is important is the criminal justice system effective? In my opinion I feel that these two vital questions are fundamental to understanding why crimes are committed.

Criminal Justice Policy Process Amber Pickett AJS/582 February 4, 2013 Joseph Gutheinz Abstract This manuscript will describe the criminal justice policy process. The manuscript will also include the key actors in the criminal justice policy process, the steps involved in the criminal justice policy process, and suggestions to improve the criminal justice policy process. Criminal Justice Policy Process Crime control policies, protocols, standards, and guidelines are the efforts of the government to protect society from criminals by reducing crime through initiating policies to control criminal justice issues. The actors of the criminal justice policy process unite to determine what laws and policies can make society a safe place for everyone (Marion & Oliver, 2012). The criminal justice policy process reflects what is best for society as a whole and not what is best for individuals.
To what extent do the media have an effect on agenda setting? The media in this essay is taken to mean mass news media and agenda-setting in the public and political arenas. As this is where the majority of literature on the media’s effect on agenda-setting is centred. This essay will argue that the media has a strong effect on agenda-setting in areas where there is a general public need for orientation (Dearing & Rogers, 1996, p. 52). It is important because this is when the media agenda can directly affect the public agenda, which may in turn affect the political agenda (Dearing & Rogers, 1996, p. 22).

The term media encompasses a variety of sources; newspapers, television, radio, magazines, and nowadays the internet. These sources ultimately have some influence over the readers of such sources- the public. The content of such sources includes the criminal justice system, which in turn covers the police, the courts, the prison service, and the probation service and so on. The question “What role do the media play in shaping the public’s view of the criminal justice system?” implies that the media shape the public’s view of the criminal justice system. The role therefore may take an array of forms; it may be informative and therefore objective or it could be subjective descriptions of incidents involving the criminal justice system.
