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
this will reduce the chance of the rational choice theory, which was put forward by right realists. This would be because if it is harder for a deviant to commit a crime then they would weigh out the pro’s and con’s of committing the crime, and realise that the cons are too much. For example a bus terminal in New York City approached crime by using situational crime prevention due to the fact that the poor design of the terminal attracted deviant behaviour. After reforming the bus terminal crime rates fell. For example the large basins where homeless people used to bathe were replaced by smaller basins, making it harder for them to abuse this property.
Unit 9 Assignment CJ211: Police Operations May 27, 2015 Police Technology has evolved so much from the time of the first modern officer. With population increasing, law enforcement officers needed technology that gave them the chance to do their jobs quicker and better. Instead of having to shoot a suspect, officers now have less than lethal weaponry which makes it possible to incapacitate using different methods. Crime mapping allows police departments to find correlations between crimes in different areas of the city. In order for law enforcement officers to contain traffic pursuits they now use pursuit management technology which helps to stop a pursuit before something gets damaged or somebody gets hurt.
If the police were doing their job properly, the figures should be decreasing not increasing. They would not be seizing more illegal stills than before. Despite the consequences, Americans enjoyed drinking and were willing to take the risk of arrest to carry on doing something they had previously done with no punishment. The number of people breaking the law made it increasingly difficult for the police to do their job effectively and catch the law-breakers. The figures in both
These cameras are usually implemented in high traffic public areas such as train stations and shopping centres. As well as major public areas, they are also put in dark, high crime areas such as parks or ally ways. The use of CCTV cameras is meant to deter criminals from participating in criminal acts, although their effectiveness as well as moral acceptance is questioned my many commentators. Despite the questions regarding its effectiveness, a study undergone in 2012 shows that the implication of 25 CCTV cameras saw 16 of them successfully lower crime rates, 7 resulted in no change and the final 2 saw an increase in crime. David Brooks, CCTV camera expert, states "People always expect that CCTV is going to do more than it's actually designed for... We tend to look at CCTV as a detection tool, but there's no real detection going on."
The three strikes law was implemented in 1993, it was created to act as a strong deterrent as well as to identify and incarcerate habitual offenders by enforcing minimum sentence lengths. The advocates of the law propose that it keeps violent and serious criminals behind bars therefore reducing crime rate. Those opposed suggest it overfills our prisons with aging criminals that eventually hamstring our economy. Overall I believe the three strikes law does more good than harm, and Ill examine articles that go deeper into these matters. According to Eugene H. Methvin, a large portion of violent crime can be prevented with an effective strategy of identifying and incarcerating the individual, keeping him/her off the streets; saving society much
A number of researchers have argued that many crime problems can be addressed more efficiently if police officers focus their attention on these deviant places. The appeal of focusing limited resources on a small number of high-activity crime places is straightforward. If crime can be prevented at these problem places, then police will be well positioned to lower citywide crime rates. In Policing Problem Places, Anthony Braga and David Weisburd make the case that hot spots policing is an effective approach to crime prevention that should be engaged by police departments in the United States and other countries. There is a strong and growing body of rigorous scientific evidence that the police can control crime hot spots without simply displacing crime problems to other places.
Community policing is predicated upon discussions between citizens and the police.” This type offers police officers to know the community they work for and any problems within that community. They attend many meetings having to do with crime and the hope of being able to resolve certain criminal activity or the atmosphere for criminal acts to occur. This style is the more proactive approach and focuses more on correcting environmental matters that help facilitate a crime and programs such as rehabilitation to help substance abusers and teen pregnancy in getting their act cleaned up, not causing it to be repeated (University of Phoenix, 2004). The direction in which the problem-solving style of communication flows would be unidirectional. Everyone here is trying to help someone, so we can have a better society.
Your reaction and control is reduced when you are texting while driving why would you want to do something that reduces your reaction and control more than drinking and driving? There are studies proving that when you text and drive you are more likely to crash. That right there should make drivers want to stop texting and driving. “Studies have found that texting while driving reduces reaction and control times even more than drinking and driving. At least one study found that drivers who text are 23 times more likely to crash relative to non-distracted drivers” (Quisenberry, 2014, p.
As a result, the police department and other city agencies now apply resources more efficiently to these fragile neighborhoods, ultimately preventing crime (p.1). The notion of predictive policing is attracting increasing attention from law enforcement agencies around the country as departments struggle to fight crime at a time when budgets are being slashed (Goode, 2011,p.1). Predicting crime with computer programs is in some ways a natural outgrowth of the technology that companies like Wal-Mart now use routinely to predict the buying habits of customers, said Scott Dickson, a crime analyst for the police department in Killeen, Texas (p.1). Efforts to systematically anticipate when and where crimes will occur are being tried out in several cities. The Chicago Police Department, for example, created a predictive analytics unit last year
