A major part of ensuring evidence based practices will meet the needs of community safety and offender practice is ensuring that the practice fits the offender and the classification of the offender is correct. Additionally, the practice must meet the needs of the offender and the resources must be available in order to meet those needs. Improper classification will result in failure across the board in community safety, program failure and failure to change the offender’s behavior. The use of evidence based practices can both reduce incarceration rates and crime rates with proper support, funding, offender classification, risk assessment of offenders and proper treatment programs. In my opinion, evidence based practice can be misleading because of the use of the word evidence.
How can positioning inhibit and improve communication? Positioning can create barrier on receiving and interpreting messages which inhibit communication. If we cannot see each other then it will inhibit communication. In care setting, it is important to keep our eyes at the same level as the person that we are communicating with. But it is as important to consider positioning while working with different people having different difficulties.
These p-plate laws are affective in reducing accidents on the road, because they reduce p-plate drivers to a low speed as well as slow cars. Peer pressure is another important factor which can cause accidents on the road. The current laws help to reduce peer pressure, by not allowing p-plate drivers under the age of 25 no more than one passenger at a time under the age of 21 between the hours of 11pm and 5am. This p-plate law helps in reducing peer pressure related accidents, because it stops overcrowded cars and distractions from friends, which allows the driver to focus only on the road. Lastly, Drivers safety is an important issue within the current p-plate
Understand how to handle information in social care settings Task B Prepare a set of guidelines to remind social care workers of best practice in handling information. Bi – Explain how to maintain records so that they are up to date, complete, accurate and legible. All records should be written in clear hand writing and in a language that the service user can understand. Do not abbreviate and only document facts that include the date it occurred and the date you documented it with your name signed with it, fiction and judgement are opinions and aren’t acceptable. Only record what is relevant and evidence based and to make sure everything is written up as soon as possible after the care has taken place.
Proactive, or preventative, patrol is focused or targeted more on specific hot spots, crime problems, or offenders. The goal of proactive patrol is to detect crimes in progress and deter crime by having a routine police presence (Grant & Terry, 2008). There are a couple different downfalls to policing agencies using one form of patrol over the other. One downfall is that if only one of these patrol styles were adopted, the police would lose some of their discretion. Conditions of an officer’s reaction to certain responds would change (Grant & Terry, 2008).
The lead profiler on any case can be someone from within or outside the department depending on the skill levels available internally and preferably, a teamwork approach to case analysis would create a continuing dialogue that would not entirely hinge on the opinion of one investigator or profiler. While it is desirable to narrow the suspect list down to a workable size for the investigators, it is also necessary to prevent personal whims from causing tunnel vision and causing the exclusion of viable suspects. The four basic skills necessary for good Investigative Criminal Profiling - investigations, forensics, psychological assessment and the application of cultural anthropology - are necessary to a complete an accurate profile. It should be recognized that experts should be consulted to fill in the gaps. A homicide investigator with limited skills in profiling might combine his skills with that of a professional profiler and as a team, increase the success of the
C Course Project – Final Draft Jonah Colombo DeVry University Author Note: This paper is being submitted February 24, 2013 for Professor Stephan Fuchs Crime Scene Investigation course at DeVry University by Jonah Colombo Crime Scene Security One of the most important things during the investigation of a crime scene is that of protecting it. This is meant to retain, uncontaminated, the evidence found at the site so it can be recorded by photography, sketch or otherwise and then collected. Victory for the prosecution can often time hinge on the condition and state of evidence, physical or otherwise, during its collection. For this entire cumbersome process starts upon the arrival of the first responders, police
If you suspect unsafe practice you should follow company policy and once you have ensured the individuals safety you can then report to your line manager. You should preserve any evidence and if recording then record as is told to you, there may be the need to use a body map which should be labelled correctly. If you have the need to report such an issue and there is no response you would need to take it to the next level. Your company should have a clear safeguarding procedure. If you still feel there is an issue being ignored then you can seek advice from an outside source.
Photography can also provide evidence against criminals, as it can capture evidence or their crime, which can help put them behind bars to keep our public safe from wrongdoings. In Sontag’s passage, she claims that photography limits our understanding of the world. I refute this idea because she says in the first sentence that “Photography implies that we know about the world if we accent it as the camera records it.” Most people will accept an idea even if it is on camera or not, such as those who jump to conclusions without the proper evidence. I do agree with some points, as she also says that a photograph can reveal absolutely nothing about some organizations, such as the Krupp works. She says that “Contrasting to the amorous relation, which is based on how something looks rather than how it functions.” Most people look on things based on how they look, as if something looks better, they will hardly judge it badly, but if something looks worse, they won’t accept it at all.
508, 2008) There are three areas in crime analysis that will help our police force in the future. Tactical crime analysis is one in which involves the ability to be able to identify specific areas that are to be crime problem areas. (Grant and Terry, pp. 509, 2008) The main goal of a tactical analysis is to be able to provide the police officers with information in a more timely manner that will also allow them to respond to crimes that are taking place in the present. (Grant and Terry, pp.
