NEWSPAPER EXCERPT:
"Victims of a Meaningless Show of Force"
by Geraldine Q. Ruthchild

On the night of May 19, 1987, New York City police, responding to reports of screams coming from Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn, found two polar bears fighting over the already dismembered body of an 11-year-old boy. They could see the clothing of three children within the bears'' enclosure; they had seen two children walking toward them when a zookeeper led them onto the grounds of the closed zoo. The children had run away before the police could question them.
Seeing the bears and the body of Juan Perez within the cage, the four police offiers emptied twenty blasts from a 12-gauge shotgun and a .38 caliber revolver into the animals, killing them. In the aftermath of the tradgedy, hundreds of people called the police to mourn over and complain about the shooting of the polar bears.
Apparently unprepared for such outpouring of sympathy for the bears, the New York Times and other leading publications saw fit to refer dismissively to the callers protesting the bear killings as "animal lovers". That epithet implies that their objections were founded upon the dogmatism of an extremist group ruled by sentiment. On the contrary, the people who took the time to register a protest seem to me far more likely to have been motivated by appreciation of logic, a committment to fairness, and a belief in practical rather than merely symbolic action. I am in sympathy with their reaction.
Polar bears, extremely territorial by nature, are kept in Prospect Park Zoo in a very small area-exacerbating, as one might easily imgine, their fierce protectiveness of their space. To protect the public, zoo architects had erected high fences topped by spikes, so forbidding-looking that it is impossible for anyone, even a child, not to understand that the bears are very likely dangerous.
Into this environment entered three children, who admit they were taunting the bears; who, in addition to scaling that fence and climbing over those spikes and invading that territory, were throwing rocks at the animals. For they bears to attack the child who did not run away fast enough was for them simply to be acting as bears naturally act.
By the time the police arrived, Juan Perez was plainly dead, clearly beyond saving. Yet the police emptied two firearms into the bears, shooting them over and over until they were dead. Killing the bears was not a logical act, for it was not-and the police have admitted they knew it was not-going to bring Juan Perez back. It was certainly not a fair act, because the bears had been behaving not only instinctively but under provocation.
Further, it was not a practical act, for it accomplised absolutely nothing-not even the protection of the other children whose clothing was in the cage, for the police had seen them leaving the zoo when they entered. It seems, therefore, that the shooting was merely a symbolic act, designed to show the public that the police were not going to stand by helplessly. But the truth is that it was too late for help. All that was achieved was the killing of two of God''s creatures, who had been provoked by taunts and rocks.
I object to the killing of the polar bears on the grounds that it was illogical, unfair, and a meaningless show of force. Presumably, at least some of the hundreds of callers, protesting this act had equally reasoned objections.

ASSIGNMENT 2 - (1 page)
DISCUSSION BOARD FORUM TOPIC FOUR: ask you to examine the author''s strengths and weaknesses in her article. "Victims of a Meaningless Show of Force" which is on page 152.

Exercise/Questions: (Assignment 2) (PLEASE NUMBER ANSWERS IN THIS SECTION)

1. Identify and explain some strengths and weaknesses in the thinking of author Geraldine Ruthchild whose article "Victims of a Meaningless Show of Force" is on page 152.

* Who are the victims?
* How can language influence?

(Use the Standards of Reasoning and the Obstacles to Clear Thinking as the basis of your analysis).

2. How do we, as critical thinkers, keep the barriers/obstacles that may impede our reasoning under control? Post your ideas.

3. Cite a recent news article that you have read/listened to that is a relevant example of LANGUAGE and how it influences. Post your ideas/observations.

(Notes on - STANDARDS OF REASONING:

The Standards of Reasoning provide a specific method to assess thinking. Understanding these standards will enable you to evaluate decisions, writings, arguments, etc, made by you and others.

The specific standards are CLARITY, PRECISION, ACCURACY, DEPTH, BREADTH, RELEVANCE, LOGICALNESS, SIGNIFICANCE and FAIRNESS.
To assess your thinking and the thinking of others, ask yourself the following questions:

CLARITY
Do you say/write what you mean?
Can you provide examples to further explain ideas?
Is there any idea that needs more elaboration?

** Clarity is necessary to all forms of thinking**

ACCURACY
Is this the way things are?
Are the ideas true?
How can I verify the information I am using?

PRECISION
Am I as specific as possible?
What exactly is the problem to solve?
What is the task, assignment, or goal?
Should more details be included?

RELEVANCE
Does the information relate to the purpose?
How this idea connected to the other ideas?
**Relevance is concerned with how the parts related to each other and the whole?**

DEPTH
Are the important ideas fully explained?
Is the issue analysis too superficial?
Are the complexieties of the issue explored?

BREADTH
Have all the relevant viewpoints been considered?
Is that analysis too one-sided?
What would be another pertinent viewpoint to analyze?

LOGICALNESS
Does the analysis/explanation make sense?
Does the overall point/purpose relate to the individual parts/ideas?
Are all the ideas consistent with intent/purpose?

SIGNIFICANCE
What is the most significant information/facts needed to analyze this issue?
Which questions are the most significant?
Which ideas and concepts are most important?

FAIRNESS
Is my thinking justified given the evidence?
Am I considering the evidence other viewpoints might include in the situation?
Am I addressing the problem fairly or is my vested interest preventing me from examining the problem from other points of view?

To be a clear thinker, all of the standards must be present.


(Notes on - BARRIERS/OBSTACLES TO CLEAR THINKING)

Additional Obstacles -
There are other obstacles called DEFENSE MECHANISMS: -psychological coping strategies. While these defense mechanisms can be protective for a short time, they become problematic when/if they distort or confuse our thinking.

Denial: Refusal to accept an unpleasant reality.

Projection: Seeing in others a part of ourselves that we cannot accept and do not recognize.

Rationalization: Distorted thinking that attempts to justify behavior usually motivated by self-interest or unacceptable behavior. Lying to oneself about the real reasons for our behavior and feelings.

**Of all the defense mechanisms, this one is perhaps the greatest inhibitor to clear thinking.

Polarized Thinking: Dichotomous thinking that only allows for two options. Limits thinking to either-or, when other options may exist.

Overgeneralization: Drawing a broad conclusion on the basis of one or two few incidences/examples.

Catastrophizing: Considering the worst possible outcome for an event.

Selective Abstraction: Focusing on one detail of a situation and ignoring the big picture.

**One of the best ways to understand and remember the obstacles is to think of a specific example that has meaning to you for each obstacle.

The Gettsburg Address
by Abraham Lincoln

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate-we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecreated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.


The Sun My Heart
by Thich Nhat Hanh

Peace can exist only in the present moment. It is ridiculous to say, "Wait unit I finish this, then I will be free to live in peace." What is "this"? A diploma, a job, a house, the payment of a debt? If you think that way, peace will never come. There is always another "this" that will follow the present one. If you are not living in peace at this moment, you will never be able to. If you truly want to be at peace, you must be at peace right now. Otherwise, there is only "the hope of peace some day."
...The peace we seek cannot be our personal possession. We need to find an inner peace which makes it possible for us to become one with those who suffer, and to do something to help our brothers and sisters, which is to say, ourselves. I know many young people who are aware of the real situation of the world and who filled with compassion. They refuse to hide themselves in artificial peace, and they engage in the world in order to change the society. They know what they want, yet after a period of involvement they become discouraged. Why? It is because they lack deep, inner peace, the kind of peace they can take with them into their life of action. Our strength is in our peace, the peace within us. This peace makes us indestructible. We must have peace while taking care of those we love and those we want to protect.


Proclamation of the Delano Grape Workers

We have been farm workers for hundreds of years and pioneers for seven. Mexicans, Filipinos, Africans, and others, our ancestors were among those who founded this land and tamed its natural wilderness. But we are still pilgrims on this land, and we are pioneers who blaze a trail out of the wilderness of hunger and deprivation that we have suffered even as our ancestors did. We are conscious today of the significance of our present quest. If this road we chart leads to the rights and reforms we demand, if it leads to just wages, human working conditions, protection from the misuse of pesticides, and to the fundamental right of collective bargainning, if it changes the social order that relegates us to the bottom reaches of society, then in our wake will follow thousands of American farm workers. Our example will make them free. But if our road does not bring us to victory and social change, it will not be because our direction is mistaken or our resolve too weak, but only because our bodies are mortal and our journey hard. For we are in the midst of a great social movement, and we will not stop struggling ''til we die, or win!
...Grapes must remain an unenjoyed luxury for all as long as the barest human needs and basic human rights are still luxuries for farm the vines, but they will have to wait while we reach out first for our freedom. The time is ripe for our liberation.


Negro Hopes for Emancipation
by John S. Rock

The situation of the black man in this country is far from being an enviable one. Today, our heads are in the lino''s mouth, and we must get them out the best way we can. To contend against the government is as difficult as it is to sit in Rome and fight with the pope. Iti is probable that, if we had the malice of the Anglo-Saxon, we would watch our chances and seize the first opportunity to take our revenge. If we attempted this, the odds would be against us, and the first thing we should know would be-nothing! The most of us are capable of perceiving that the man who spits against the wind spits in his own face!
...This nation is mad. In its devoted attachment to the Negro, it has run crazy after him; and now, having caught him, hangs on with a deadly grasp, and says to him, with more earnestness and pathos than Ruth expressed to Naomi, "Where thou goest, I will go; where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God, my God."
...This rebellion for slavery means something! Out of it emancipation must spring. I do not agree with those men who see no hope in this war. There is nothing in it but hope. Our cause is onward. As it is with the sun, the clouds often obstruct his vision, but in the end, we find there has been no standing still. It is true the government is but little more antislavery now than it was at the commencement of the war; but while fighting its own existence, it has been obliged to take slavery by the throat and, sooner or later, must choke her to death.


The Natural Rights of Civilized Women
by Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Now, gentlemen, do you talk to woman of a rude jest or jostle at the polls where noble, virtuous men stand ready to protect her person and her rights, when alone in the darkeness and solitude and gloom of night she has tremble on her own threshold awaiting the return of a husband from his midnight revels?... The fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast is far too often realized in life. Gentlemen, such scenes as woman has witnessed at her own fireside where no eye save Omnipotence could pity, no strong arm could help, can never be realized at the polls, never equaled elsewhere this side of the bottomless pit. No,woman has not hitherto lived in the clouds surrounded by an atmosphere of purity and peace; but she has been the companion of man in health, in sickness, and in death, in his highest and in his lowest moments. She has worshipped him as a saint and an orator, and pitied him as a madman or a fool.
In paradise man and woman were placed together, and so they must ever be. They must sink or rise together. If man is low and wretched and vile, woman cannot escape the contagion, and any atmosphere that is unfit for woman to breath is not fit for man. Verily, the sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children to the third or fourth generation. You, by your unwise legislation, have crippled and dwarfed womanhood by closing to her all honorable and lucrative means of employment, have driven her into the garrets and dens of our cities where she now revenges herself on your innocent sons, sapping the very foundations of national virtue and strength. Alas! For the young men just coming on the stage of action who soon shall fill your vacant places, our future senators, our presidents, the expounders of our constitutional law! Terrible are the penalties we are now suffering for the ages of injustice done to women.

Answer questions 1-3 about "What is a Reasonable Doubt?" on pages 148-149.

EXERCISE/QUESTION;
Below are three different interpretations of the concept of "reasonable doubt."
Read each and then answer these questions:

1. What is the difference between these three interpretations?

2. Which one do you think is best (or would you recommend we use)? Explain Why.

3. Why did you reject the other two? Explain what is deficient or unsatisfactory in the two concepts you rejected.


READINGS:

What Is a Reasonable Doubt?

While the Government must prove a criminal defendant''s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, it is easier for judges and lawyers to invoke the concept of "reasonable doubt" than to define it. The Supreme Court, which has grappled with the issue over the years, today rejected constitutional challenges to two varieties of reasonable doubt instructions in an opinion by Justice Sandra Day O''Connor that traced the history and growing ambiguity of some long-used phrases. These instructions, given to juries in California and Nebraska, differed somewhat from instructions the Court found unconstitutional in a 1990 case. Here are excerpts from one set of instructions upheld today, along with those the Court declared unconstitutional in 1990 and proposed set of instructions, published by the Federal Judicial Center, that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg cited with approval in her concurring opinion. Italics are the Court''s, indicating phrases on which the Court focused.

Instructions Upheld Today
Sandoval v. California (1994): "Reasonable doubt is defined as follows: It is not a mere possible doubt; because everything relating to human affairs, and depending on moral evidence, is open to some possible or imaginary doubt. It is that state of the case which, after the entire comparison and consideration of all the evidence, leaves the minds of jurors in that condition that they cannot say they feel an abiding conviction, to a moral certainty, of the truth of the charge."

Found Unconstitutional: 1990
Cage v. Louisiana (1990): "Even where the evidence demonstrates a probability of guilt, if it does not establish such guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, you must acquit the accused. This doubt, however, must be a reasonable one; that is one that is founded upon a real tangible substantial basis and not upon mere caprice or conjuncture. It must be such doubt as would give rise to a grave uncertainty, raised in your mind by reasons of the unsatisfactory character of the evidence or lack thereof. A reasonable doubt is not a mere possible doubt. It is an actual substantial doubt. It is a doubt that a reasonable man can seriously entertain. What is required is not an absolute or mathematic certainty, but a moral certainty."

A Different Approach
Proposed by the Federal Judicial Center, the research arm of the Federal judiciary:
"Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is proof that leaves you firmly convinced of the defendant''s guilt. There are very few things in this world that we know with absolute certainty, and in criminal cases the law does not require proof that overcomes every possible doubt. If, based on your consideration of the evidence, you are firmly convinced that the defendant is guilt of the crime charged, you must find him guilty. If on the other hand, you think there is a real possibility that he is not guilty, you must give him the benefit of the doubt and find him not guilty."

New York Times, 23 Mar. 1994.


How we define "reasonable doubt" is important. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recommends that states consider a model jury instruction suggest in 1987 that reads: "Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is proof that leaves you firmly convinced of the defendant''s guilt." An even more succint set of instructions is used in France. There the panel of judges and lay people are asked to consider this question: "Are you thoroughly convinced?" (as noted by Neil A. Lewis, "At the Bar," New York Times, 27 Jan. 1995). The question "Are you thoroughly convinced?" gives us a simple and seemingly effective way to clarify the "reasonable doubt" criteria.

GLOBAL INTERNAL SECURITY AND COUNTERTERRORISM


Guidelines for Construction of the Internal Security Country Case Studies

ISRAEL

The research strategy: What we are after is broad comparative information that will tell us something about the nature of Internal Security in the post-Cold War and post-9/11 eras. We will use a common format so that at the end of the day we can compare a large number of states. This translates into a number of sections for each case study.

Sections of the Case Study: The cases will vary widely, because the approach to internal security is different for every country. Each case should have the following elements and in this order:

Structure and Content for Country Case Studies

1)Nature of the state

Explanation of Israeli Democracy (Exec, Legislative, Judicial Branches)

salient facts (CIA Factbook info)

2)Threats to the state (both historical and contemporary)

What do the leaders consider the principle threats to be

What are the recognized threats

Short contemporary history of the threats

3)Description of known terrorist activity (both groups and incidents)

Organizations

Bombings / attacks (charts and graphs are a plus here)

Financing of terror groups

4)Description of important internal security policies, laws, legal definition of terrorism, etc.

5)Description of principal law enforcement and intelligence organizationsextent, powers, oversight, etc.

These three principle organizations on the Federal level (Mossad, Shin Bet/Israel Security Agency (ISA), Aman (Military Intelligence of Israeli Defense Force) must be described but not exclusive to these three groups.

How they function

How coercive are they

Extent of their powers

6)History of internal security organizationsincidents, evolution, etc.

Incidents that have defined the organizations (charts and graphs are a plus here)

How have they changed

7)Internal security relationship with the US (if none, describe relations with the US more broadly)

Counter terror

What is the broad relationship with the USA

8)Internal security relations with other states (other important elements of international relations).

9)Relations with International police/security organizations (e.g., Interpol), etc.

10)Sources used (very important, at least 30)

The knock and announce rule is an exclusionary rule that renders all evidence seized by the police inadmissible in a criminal proceeding against the defendant. It has been established through case law.
The author must be familar with legal writing requirements, legal terminology, legal analysis format, and the ALWD citation format.
This is not a research paper. The format should follow a Law Review Article.
This subject stems entirely from case law; therefore, there must be a discussion and application of relevant cases applying the knock and announce rule and a discussion of the factual circumstances in which the court determined there was a violation and where there wasn't a violation.
The paper should follow this general format, with necessary exceptions.
I. Knock and Announce Rule
A. What is it? How does it work? To whom does it apply? Why is there such a rule? When does it apply? When does it not apply? How do courts apply it?
B. History
C. Cases applying knock and announce rule (this discussion should give a brief factual summary of the case, the evidence seized and offered at trial, and why or why not the court deemed the evidence admissible or inadmissible.
II. Pros and Cons of knock and announce
A. Pros: Protection of the sanctity of the home, 4th amendment implications, safety
B. Cons: Requires police to announce their presence, strips police of element of surprise, gives those inside opportunity to defend against police entry through use of violence, gives those inside opportunity to destroy evidence or flee the premises, renders all evidence seized, regardless of relevance and help to the Government's case inadmissible, promotes relatively inconsequential and minor "constitutional rights" beyond Government interest, regardless of the content of the evidence.
III. Abolishment
A. The knock and announce rule should be abolished.
This portion is heavily opinion-based, but the opinion should reflect the idea that this rule should be abolished from criminal procedure. First, in most instances, the knock and announce is so quickly followed by a forcible entry that the knock and announce is rendered completely ineffective for any purpose. The abolishment of this rule does not mean to say the Government should strip defendants of traditional due process guarentees, but rather exposes the idea that in its current application, it inhibits the Government from fully prosecuting its case against a defendant because of a technical error. A violation of this rule should be viewed as the equivalent of "harmless error" in a criminal trial. Finally, crimes are committed not against one single individual, but against the People as a whole. The People should have the right to weigh all relevant evidence in favor of or against a defendant in determining his/her guilt.
As stated above, the paper should possess an opinionative tone and should consistently remind the reader through use of style and appropriate grammar that the knock and announce rule should be abolished. How far will we let the liberal minded justices go with policies such as knock and announce? Will there come a day where police are to wipe their shoes on the door mat, polietly enter, and kindly request production of what it is they are there for in the first place?
The opinions expressed above need not be exactly presented as demonstrated, but you get the idea; the rule is a stupid rule.
Thanks for the help and I can't wait to read it!

Discuss which strategy you think works best, and how you, if you were chief of police, would handle your community's drug problem.

Supply Reduction Strategy - includes four different tactics. The first is the buy and bust strategy: Undercover officers purchase drugs and then arrest the dealers. A second and related strategy is to attempt to disrupt the drug syndicate by "trading up": arresting low level dealers and offering leniency in return for information about higher level dealers. A third strategy involves penetrating the drug syndicate through long-term undercover work. The fourth is the drug crackdown, an intensive enforcement effort concentrated in a specific area over a limited period of time.

Demand Reduction Strategy - involves attempting to reduce the demand for drugs on the part of potential users. This strategy includes drug education programs such as D.A.R.E.

For your Unit 8 Interview Analysis you will conduct two interviews with practicing professionals in the field of law enforcement. These individuals may occupy positions in federal, state, county or municipal police agencies, probation, parole, or prosecutors' offices.

It is preferable that you conduct the interviews in person, but telephone interviews will be acceptable if in-person interviews cannot be arranged.

Focus on the following questions in your interviews:

Why are ethics and character so important in the field of law enforcement?
Do the interviewees feel that police are more ethical today, or were they more ethical ten years ago?
Why do police officers become involved in misconduct?
Do the interviewees feel that there is enough training offered in ethics at the police academy level? If not, why is that?
Should ethics training be offered as an on-going process for law enforcement officers?
Do the interviewees feel that education and/or training in ethics would reduce incidents of police corruption?

Report the results of these interviews in a paper that answer the proposed questions. Apply issues read and discussed in class to your paper to form a synthesis of practical law enforcement ideologies. Finally, offer your own insights on the perspectives of the individuals you interviewed and materials covered in the text readings and seminar discussions.

The paper will be a minimum of 10, double-spaced pages using a 12-point font. It must be in American Psychological Association (APA) format.

7 page essay not including the cover page or source cited page on Abner Louima. Discuss how this event violated public trust. Anzlyze how this event effected public perception, what changes resulted and the outcome for all involved. Discuss the ethical issues and problems commmonly encountered in the criminal justice system involving police. Explain who, why and how the case of Abner Louima relates to criminal justice ethics and ethical dilemmas.
Need 6 cited sources. MLA format, double spaced 12 pont font New Roman Times

CRJ 530 Written Exercise 5: DRNC Scenario
Background
The following story is a fictional account of an undercover investigation leading up to the mythical Democratic-Republican National Convention event in Miami, Florida. The story is loosely based on an amalgamation of real life occurrences in the lead up to the Free Trade Area of the Americas conference in Miami, Florida in 2003. The names of all the characters in the story are fictional.
As you read the story, keep in mind what ethical and legal issues are likely to arise during the undercover investigation. At the end of the story, you will be asked to respond to several questions related to the ethical comport of undercover investigations.
The Story of Detective Amy Underwood: The Ethics of Deep Undercover Investigations
Detective Amy Underwood sat in the waiting area outside Lieutenant Crockers office, nervously leafing through Police Chief magazines, not really paying attention to the articles, or even the pictures. Her mind was elsewhere. Lieutenant Crocker had asked Amy to come by his office as soon as her shift was over. Being called in to the Lieutenants office is usually not a good thing at least thats what Amy was thinking.
Amy had been assigned to the Vice & Narcotics Section of the Pasco County (Florida) Sheriffs Office only three months ago, after having worked in uniformed patrol for three years. She had applied for, and been selected for her current position as a detective over seven other applicants. In her three years in Sheriffs Office, Amy had excelled in every capacity. Her annual performance evaluations were either Above Satisfactory or Outstanding. More importantly, Amy was respected by her peers and her supervisors.
That is why Amy could not understand why she had been called in by Lieutenant Crocker. She tried to think what she could have possibly done wrong that she wasnt aware of. Amy thought to herself, is it that my arrests are down for two months in a row? Should I have waited a while before asking for two weeks vacation?
Lieutenant Crockers door opened and he called out to Detective Underwood, Hi Amy come on in I want to introduce you to someone.
Amy put the magazine down and walked into the Lieutenant Crockers office. A gentleman dressed in a gray suit and blue tie stood up from his seat and extended his hand to Amy, hello, Im Tim Johnson FBI Special Agent from the Miami Field Office.
Amy had no idea who this Agent Johnson was, or why he was there, but she politely responded, nice to meet you Im Amy Amy Underwood.
Lieutenant Crocker pointed to one of the chairs and asked Amy to have a seat. Agent Johnson came up from Miami yesterday and we met with Sheriff Pearson about an hour ago. Youre probably wondering what this is all about
Im not sure what you mean, Lieutenant, responded Amy. She thought she was going to be reprimanded for something that she had done wrong, but really couldnt think of anything that she had done that was too serious. She thought to herself, if I did do something wrong, Im not about to make it worse by talking out loud about it. Let me just be quiet.
Sensing that Amy felt uncomfortable, Lieutenant Crocker decided to immediately get to the point. Amy the reason we asked you to come is that we would like to see if you would be interested in working a special undercover investigation with the FBIs Joint Terrorism Task Force. The Tampa JTTF and the Miami JTTF are working a special joint investigation. Agent Johnson is the lead on this, but the investigation involves officers and deputies from several different jurisdictions. You wont be alone
Agent Johnson cut in, Amy, I cant tell you too much about the investigation yet. But first, I want to run it by you and see if you would be willing to make a six month commitment.
Amy was flabbergasted. She was intrigued about the details of the investigation, and flattered that she would be chosen to be part of the team. She asked, what do you mean six months? And why me?
Lieutenant Crocker chimed in, there are several reasons that we considered you for this assignment. First of all, you have consistently demonstrated that you are a good and dependable employee. I have heard nothing but good things about you since youve been here. Second, you are a single female, and you have no children is that correct?
Yes sir Im divorced, and I dont have any kids. I live alone right now, answered Amy.
Crocker continued, thats important, and that makes you a rare commodity right now. In this area, if you look at the Sheriffs Offices from Pasco, Sumter, and all the surrounding counties, there are only a handful of female investigators who are single and dont have any children. Of that handful, we chose you because we think youre the best match for the job.
Well I dont know what to say Im flattered, but what exactly is the investigation, and why the six month commitment?
Again, I cant give you the details just yet if you agree to this, well have a comprehensive briefing for you at the U.S. Attorneys Office in Tampa before we would get started. But let me first give you a preview. Its only right that you know what you would be getting into if you agree to this, stated Agent Johnson. Is that alright with you?
Sure go ahead. Amy didnt want to show her excitement, but she was already hooked.
Johnson went on to explain, this is a long term, deep undercover assignment. Thats why were asking for a six month commitment from the detectives who volunteer for the job. We need someone who has no family ties and can be away from home for extended periods of time. Do you have any family commitments that we should know about like taking care of elderly parents or siblings?
No Im divorced I live alone, and my parents are healthy and live in St. Louis I have a sister, but shes married to answer your question no, I dont have any family commitments right now.
OK, thats what we thought, said Johnson. Let me explain some more. This assignment requires two undercover police detectives preferably female who can be away from home for weeks at a time. We already have the commitment from one other female officer
Amy interrupted, anyone I know?
Johnson responded, Possibly, but probably not. Shes from another county nearby. I cant tell you just yet what her name is, but if you agree to this assignment, you will get a chance to meet her at the first briefing. Its important that the both of you get along well because youll be working closely together, and at times, you will be each others backup. Should I continue?
Yes, please it sounds very interesting, added Amy.
Johnson continued, this investigation involves the JTTFs from Tampa and Miami. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is also onboard as are several local police departments from the Regional Domestic Security Task Forces in Region 4 in the Tampa Bay area, and Region 7 in the Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County area. You would be working on a team of eight investigators from the various agencies, and I am the supervisor of the team. Two of those team members are expected to go deep undercover the other six comprise the surveillance team that will keep track of you.
Amy chimed in excitedly, when do we get started?
Lieutenant Crocker chuckled out loud and said, whoa Amy. dont you want to hear the rest of it before you commit?
Im sorry Lieutenant, I got ahead of myself. I didnt realize there was more to this, said Amy.
Special Agent Johnson broke in, Ill tell you what, Amy theres not much more I can tell you at this point anyway. Id like for you to go home and sleep on it. Think about it for a day or two and then get back to me. Ill need to get a definitive answer from you no later than next Monday. Were having our first full briefing on Tuesday at the U.S. Attorneys Office, and thats where you and the other undercover female officer will be fully briefed on the details of the investigation. Thats if you decide to come onboard.
Amy paused a moment and then turne toward Lieutenant Crocker, Lieutenant, this sounds like something Id really like to do but I dont want to leave you short on investigators I know how short staffed weve been lately.
Crocker answered, Amy, dont worry about that. This has the Sheriffs full support and dont worry youll have your job waiting for you when you get back nobody is going to take your position while youre gone. As much as I hate to lose you for six months, I think this will be a fantastic opportunity for you. You have my full blessing on this.
Thank you sir I appreciate you saying that, answered Amy. Well I really dont need to think about it much can I just say yes now?
Agent Johnson answered, yes you can, but I would still like for you to sleep on it before you decide for sure. This is going to be a major commitment on your part, and I dont want you to regret it later. Think about it tonight but please, I ask only one thing from you. Please do not talk to anyone outside this room about this. Very few people know about this, and we want to keep it confidential OK?
Yes sir!
Please call me Tim. Were all on a first-name basis on this team. Its like a family.
With that, the meeting broke and Amy went home. That night, she tried to go to sleep, but she was so excited that she couldnt stop thinking about the chance to go deep undercover. This was like nothing that she had ever experienced before. She was ready to agree right now, but she knew she would have to wait till the morning.

ASAC Taggart started the meeting by welcoming all the attendees. Alright, I have 10:01 on my watch. Ill get started now. First of all, thank you all for coming. For those of you who dont know me, Im Fred Taggart, FBI Tampa, ASAC and lead supervisory agent for the Tampa JTTF. Also with us today is Felicia Fontaine. Felicia is my counterpart in the Miami Office and also an ASAC. She is the lead supervisory agent for the Miami JTTF. Also here from Miami is Supervisory Special Agent Tim Johnson. Tim will be the team leader for this investigation. Well go around the room in a minute to introduce ourselves, but first, let me introduce Richard DeArmas. Richard is the lead Assistant U.S. Attorney assigned to this case. Richard, thank you for coming. Felicia, any words before we get started?
ASAC Fontaine took the floor, Fred, thank you for welcoming us. I think I can speak for Richard and Tim, and say that your office has been very gracious and accommodating to us during our stay in Tampa. I think this investigation is going to write a new chapter on inter-agency cooperation between all the participating agencies from the South Florida region and the Tampa Bay region. I think we have a real good group of people assembled here and Im excited about this. As you are all probably aware by now, the Democratic-Republican National Convention (DRNC) is scheduled to be held in Miami-Dade County next year in August. Being from this area, you are all familiar with what occurred at the last major political convention in Tampa in 2012. We expect the same protest groups to come to Miami next year and attempt to disrupt our convention. Thats why were here today were asking for your help. Ill now turn it over to Tim, who has the most knowledge about the investigation and what our goals are. Again, thank you so much Tim, would you give us a little background on this group were targeting?
Thank you Felicia and thank you Fred for your hospitality and your cooperation. You have really made us feel welcomed this past week. Agent Johnson went on, everyones time is valuable, so Ill get to the point right away. We want to try to get ahead of the curve with timely and accurate intelligence so that the mobile field forces on the ground that week can have the tactical advantage like we had in the Free Trade Area of the Americas Conference back in 2003, in Miami. I refer to the FTAA in Miami because in my opinion, it is the model for intelligence gathering that we should be doing for all these large-scale special events. The reason that things
went so well is that the mobile field force commanders on the ground were one step ahead of the protestors at every turn. Having the critical information relayed to us on a timely basis gave us a tactical advantage throughout the event. But more importantly, it also gave us a strategic advantage. We knew well ahead of time how many protestors we could expect, where they were coming from, where they would camp out, and who their leaders were. This is the kind of information that makes the difference between a successful event and a not-so-successful event.
You mean like ours? said ASAC Taggert.
Agent Johnson responded, no sir, I think overall, the 2012 convention in Tampa went pretty well, considering that your two undercover investigators got burned two weeks before the event. I think you will agree that that was a lesson that we can all learn from. But even with the handicap of not having timely information available to the commanders in the field, I thought that the Tampa command did an outstanding job. Thats a credit to everyone involved in that event. I think that your experiences with the couple of Super Bowls the past few years has really strengthened your regional cooperation between local and federal agencies. I think that was key to an overall successful event in 2012. Yes there were a few hairy moments, but the Tampa PD and field forces from other departments really stepped up and did a very professional job. Kudos to all of you.
Thank you Tim for saying that, but we need to do better this time, added ASAC Taggert. We need to learn from what went wrong in 2012, and what went right in 2003. If we do that, well win.
Agent Johnson continued, Well go over what went wrong last time in a minute, but first I want to introduce our two volunteer undercover investigators for this case. From the Pasco County Sheriffs Office Vice and Narcotics Section is Detective Amy Underwood. From the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office Detective Sheila Freeman. Amy and Sheila will be detached to the Tampa JTTF for a six month period during which time, they will be going deep undercover to infiltrate some of the direct action groups that are planning to disrupt the DRNC next year. Amy and Sheila, that means that both of you will be attending a Ruckus Society training camp in Wildwood, Florida, around mid July next year. For a two week period, you will live at the camp on a 24 hour basis. There you will receive training from so-called direct action experts on how to make Sleeping Dragons, how to erect large signs from high places how to rappel
Sheila Freeman interrupted, sir, Im sorry, but I have never heard of Sleeping Dragons or the Ruckus Society. Can you explain those to us?
Yes, Im sorry stop me if Im going too fast, responded Johnson. The Rucks Society is a group that provides training to a number of direct action protest groups. You can go on their web page at http://www.ruckus.org/index.php and find out more on your own. The Ruckus Society is a non-profit organization in fact, it has 501c status, and various individuals and organizations make tax deductible donations to the organization. Its been around since 1996, and has played an integral role in organizing and training many of the protests since the 1999
Seattle WTO riots. They are involved with the Occupy Wall Street Movement, and have had a hand in the WTO in Cancun, Mexico and FTAA in Miami, as well as the G-8 in Sea Island, Georgia just to name a few. Its quite an elaborate and extensive network of organizations that share a common goal of social change through public protests, civil disobedience, and law breaking. I recommend that you take a few minutes to check out their web site when you get a chance.
I will, thank you, replied Detective Freeman. You mentioned Sleeping Dragon. Whats that?
A Sleeping Dragon is one of many different devices that the protestors use to chain themselves together in order to make it difficult for the police to arrest them. There are many variations of this technique, but most include the use of handcuffs or other similar restraining devices, with large PVC pipes sometimes wrapped in tar and chicken wire to make it harder on the CUT teams to remove. Dont worry, Ill show you pictures of what this looks like at our next meeting. Right now, I just want to give you a brief overview.
No problem thank you, said Detective Freeman.
Agent Johnson continued, anyway the plan is to infiltrate two undercover detectives, who will eat, drink, and sleep with these people for weeks at a time. We cannot afford to get burned like we did in 2012. There will be times where you may be away from your home for weeks at a time. I asked Detectives Haar and Sullivan to be part of the surveillance team that will be watching over you during this entire time. Haar and Sullivan were the undercover officers who infiltrated these groups at the Ruckus Society training sites back in 2012. Theyll tell you their experiences, and how they got burned a couple of weeks before the event started. Tom? Roland? Which of you wants to go first?
I will, said Detective Tom Sullivan. We have a lot to go over with you, and well meet again a few more times before youre off to your first training camp. But first I just want to thank you both for taking on this difficult job. This special detail will tax your endurance like nothing else youve ever done before. This is not the type of undercover work that most of us have done before. This is deep undercover, and it requires a full commitment from you. You will literally live with these people for weeks at a time, and you may not see any of us during that time. Well keep in touch via our cell phones and well issue you a couple of iPads that you will take with you. But other than that, you will be isolated from your families and your co-workers for long periods.
Next, Detective Roland Haar chimed in. Tom and I were successful at first. Despite some initial suspicions and misgivings on the part of the Ruckus Society trainers, after a few days, we fit right in and nobody suspected us as being cops. That was the easy part. These people are eager to accept newcomers to their cause, and they can be a bit nave at times to our advantage.
Well, maybe not anymore after we got burned last time around, added Sullivan.
Haar went on, yeah, thats true I expect them to be a lot more suspicious about newcomers than they were the last time. And thats why we specifically asked for female undercover officers this time. I think being a female will give you some advantages that we didnt have. You will be challenged a lot less than we were at least, thats what we expect.
Well provide you with false identification out of state drivers licenses fake home addresses you name it, said Agent Johnson. The only thing youll keep is your first names. That makes it a lot easier for everyone to remember and avoid making a mistake.
Detective Sullivan went on, you should know that the reason we were burned and kicked out of the camp is because neither of us would smoke pot with the trainers on one of the nights after class. I think that got them a little suspicious, and then one of them later got a hold of my cell phone that I had carelessly left behind in the restroom. Thats when the head guy at the Ruckus camp became real suspicious of us and asked us to leave no explanation given, but we think that they know were cops.
Well, I wouldnt be so sure, added Agent Johnson. A lot of times, we think were burnt when were not burnt, and we overreact. Ive seen that happen many times. Ladies if you ever think youve been burned first never admit it, and second, dont overreact and try not to look guilty. Chances are that it may be your paranoia at work and you didnt get burned as much as you think you did.
Detective Haar added, yeah I know what you mean, but this time Im pretty sure we were toast. Immediately after the cell phone was recovered by the head Ruckus guy, everyone stopped talking to us. Theres no doubt in my mind that they knew we were cops.
Thats fine, and Ill agree with you. But now we need to figure out ways to avoid the same thing from happening to Amy and Sheila when they go in, stated Johnson.
Sullivan continued, the main problem is that you will likely be challenged by the Ruckus people since youre both new, and they dont really know who you are. I think the fact that youre female will help you a lot. Use it to your advantage. People will back off if you ask them to especially from a lady.
Haar chimed in, theyll ask you to smoke pot with them because they know that cops are not allowed to smoke weed. Dont be surprised if they ask you to go shoplifting with them or something even more serious. They figure that if you do these things, you are probably not a police officer.
Amy interrupted, is that alright to do? I can smoke pot with them? Are you saying I can shoplift or even do an armed robbery if they ask me to? Where do we draw the line? Is there a line?
Johnson turned to Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard DeArmas and asked, Rich do you want to take it from here? Can you explain the dos and donts to Amy and Sheila?
???????????????????? ????????????????????
Assignment Instructions
For this assignment, you are to assume the role of Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard DeArmas and explain to Detectives Underwood and Freeman what they can and cannot do as part of this investigation. Consider the legal and ethical ramifications associated with this story. You are to write an essay not to exceed 1200 words that analyzes the constraints posed on Detectives Amy Underwood and Sheila Freeman as they go deep undercover to infiltrate the Ruckus Society training camps. At a minimum, consider the following questions:
? Should Detectives Underwood and Freeman be allowed to commit misdemeanors such as smoking cannabis (marijuana) or shoplifting (petit theft) in order to keep their undercover status from being compromised?
? Should Detectives Underwood and Freeman be allowed to commit felonies such as grand theft or armed robbery in order to keep their undercover status from being compromised?
? Are the undercover officers compelled to intervene in order to prevent crimes that they have knowledge of ahead of time?
? What criteria need to be established ahead of time, before sending the two undercover detectives to their first Ruckus Society training camp?

Customer is requesting that (baby99) completes this order.

I will forward the actual assignment tomorrow as well as the form it is supposed to follow....Here is the subject material:

"All students are to write and submt a legal memorndum addressing issues involving homicide using Alabama law taken from the Alabama Criminal Code based on the following fact pattern:

"You are the law clerk for Circuit Judge John A. Offensive. The Judge has asked you to prepare him a legal memorandum concerning possible lesser included offenses jury instructions and defense jury instructions in a homicide case he has just tried to completion. The evidence at trial was as follows:

The Defendant is charged with Murder (Section 13A-6-2(a)(1) for the intentional killing of his mistress who he acknowledges he shot once in the head and killed. The deceased had been calling the Defendant for several days prior to the incident demanding he divorce his wife and marry her. (All phone calls were proven via phone records received in evidence at the trial.) The Defendant acknowledged that the two argued bitterly in those phone conversatons he was angry about her demands and threats to expose their affair. On the morning of the incident the deceased called the Defendant and demanded his answer or she would "make him pay!" The Defendant hung up on the deceased. Within 2 hours, the deceased drove over to the Defendant's home. The Defendant, who was alone in his home, saw the deceased pull her car into the driveway and get out of the car heading toward the house. The Defendant saw the deceased apparently carrying something in her hand which was concealed by a sweater. The defendant, a police officer, was leaving for his home to meet her. The deceased stopped approximately 20 feet from the defendant and said to him, angrily, "I told you I make you pay and now you will!" as she began to pull her hand from underneath the sweater. The Defendant testified he feared that she had a gun and was going to shoot him so he pulled out this service weapon, shot her once in the head killing her. At the scene no gun was found in the deceased hand only a letter to his wife outlining their affair. In a later search of the deceased home a small pistol was found by the police.
The judge asks you for a memorandum on these issues:

-First, besides the Murder Charge what if any lesser included offenses (13A-1_9) jury charges can legally be given under these facts and why?

-Second, can a self defense charge be given to the jury and if so why?

-Third, does the Defendant's status as a police officer entitle him to a charge on the defense regarding law enforcement under the defenses section of the code? This question is particularly important and there should be research on the AL criminal code as well as case precedent.

FORM OF THE LEGAL MEMORANDUM:

Memo To: Judge John A. Offense
From: Your Name
Date: 08/04/2009
RE: Possible Jury Instructions for Murder Case

Issue 1-State Issue/Question:

1) Identify relevant facts pertaining to issue

There are faxes for this order.

Topic

National Security and Homeland Defense are topics that saturate the media, consume much of our intelligence and investigative resources, and concern all Americans. One of the keys to effective Homeland Defense is the integration of our law enforcement and intelligence assets at all levels: federal, state, and local.

Your assignment is to comprehensively research three (3) agencies involved in Homeland Defense, and write your paper on these agencies, following the format described below. The agencies are to be:

1 Federal (but NOT the FBI)
1 State
1 Local as follows:

A. Federal: Any law enforcement or intelligence or military agency (BUT NOT THE FBI) involved in Homeland Security.

B. A State Law Enforcement Agency: State Police agency (e.g. New Jersey State Police, Florida Department of Law Enforcement), or National Guard

C. Local: Municipal or County Police (Tampa P.D., Pasco County Sheriff, Seattle Police, etc.).

Your paper is to be structured as follows for each of the 3 agencies (mandatory):

1. Name of Agency (e.g. LAPD)

a. Jurisdiction - what area does it police?
b. Size - how many members? sworn and unsworn?
c. Missions - what does the agency say are its responsibilities?

2. Role in Homeland Defense (a review of the agencys web site is a good place to start)

What does the agency itself say about its own role in Homeland Defense? What do other sources say? For example, news articles?

3. Summarize and Discuss at least 3 cases in which Homeland Defense issues have arisen in one or more of your selected agencies (obtain from news media research, agency web site, or direct contact with agency public affairs office.).

Examples include:
a. Arrests of terrorists
b. Interdiction of terrorist plans
c. Seizure of terrorist supplies or materials
d. Successful cooperation with other U.S. or foreign agencies

NOTE: You only need 3 stories from any combination of your agencies; not 3 stories for each)

4. Core Values Of Each Agency What are the CVs of each of your agencies? (Some agencies have Mission Statements instead)
a. List the Core Values (or similar statement of that the Agency has chosen about itself)

b. Discuss how the Core Values of each of the 3 agencies compare with the SLU Core Values?

c. How do the Core Values affect the balancing of the agencies missions to safeguard our nation with Americas traditional and constitutional respect for individual liberties?

Reminder: The Core Value discussion is not to be an after-thought at the end of the paper. I want to see thoughtful insight applied to the application of Core Values to your topic.

Please have Writergrrl101 complete the following assignment.

The assignment requires the books ?Theories of Crime?, Second Edition, by Daniel J Curran and Claire M. Renzatti and ?Classics of Criminology?, Third Edition by Joseph E. Jacoby. This paper has two parts to it. The first part is explained below.

Instructions: Provide short EXAMPLES to demonstrate you understand key concepts in the course. That is, to show your understanding of the word "tautology" you might write this example: "Jane is a criminal because she broke the law." If you have any doubts about whether your example is clear, go further to explain your example . You might say, "This is tautological because the definition of crime is breaking the law."

I. Concepts. 5 points each. For each concept, provide an example of your own (not one from the text or other assigned readings) to demonstrate your understanding of the concept. All examples must be criminological (i.e., they must be relevant to the sociological study of crime.

1. policeman's working personality
2. generalized punishment
3. prisonization
4. crimes of economic domination
5. criminalizing girls' survival
6. the function of the police
7. order-maintenance
8. inmate code
9. pathology of power
10. chivalry hypothesis

The Second part (which should begin on a new page) of the assignment has essay questions. You MUST use EVIDENCE, listing the sources (from the assigned readings) to support what you say. For example, suppose you were asked to describe the current patterns of crime in the United States. You might begin, "According to data presented at the White House Briefing Room Social Statistics - Crime section (www.whitehouse.gov), violent crime in the U.S. has decreased __ % over the past ....". You would, of course, go into greater detail with your answer adding additional data and references.

The points assigned will be based on:
a. extent to which the essay is well-supported with several references to reading assignments (up to 25 points)
b. logical arguments/statements linked to evidence. Good arguments/statements will specify philosophical positions where relevant and will be primarily analytical/conceptual and empirical/factual statements. All opinions will be supported with evidence (up to 15 points)
c. organization, grammar, spelling (10 points)

HERE ARE THE TWO QUESTIONS: These should be two pages each and start each one on a new page. Also copy the question at the beginning of each essay.

1. In the minds of too many members of the general public, criminal = young Black male. Evaluate this viewpoint using the ideas of radical and feminist criminologists, citing specific concepts, theories, and theorists.

2. Compare and contrast the way social structures and social forces shape policemen and prisoners, citing specific examples from the articles you read in Classics. How are these groups similar? Different? How do they resemble, and differ from, other types of people?

I have no minimum on quotations,parenthetical citations, or footnotes. It was just mentioned that there should be some within the paper.We were also advised to use ellipsis points to exclude non-essential material.They want it done on the computer with the 1 inch margins,double spaced,12-point,Times New Roman font.
The paper should have- title page,executive summary(1-2 pages what I learned),introduction,literature review,data(if applicable),discussion,and the conclusion(something for my police agency).
Preferred citation is Parenthetical.
I will be faxing you two pages from a book labeled,writing research papers,2001 edition.It refers to all the double spacing and page numbers and the way they are requirted for my paper.The book actually has a website at mcdougallittell.com. Page # 74 & 75 will be faxed to you at the New Jersey location.

Thank you,

Willis G.Abegglen

APA format, citations,references and bibliography.
The topic is The Death Penalty and whether it is a deterrent to crime and is it a deterrent specifcally
to Cop Killings. My proposal had to do with an increased call for the death penalty in Michigan after 2 Detroit Police Officers were killed in February 2004. My problem statement is whether having the death penalty decreases crimes agains the police such as cop killings and if it decreases crime in society in general. I need comparisons of states with the death penalty as opposed to
states that don't as far as police deaths and crime in general. I would like references to Michigan police and the killings of the Detroit Officers in February.

?Policemen of the World? Thesis and Outline Draft

1.0 Introduction and Thesis

After the Civil War and by the mid-20th century, the United States was a prevailing and influential nation in the global politics. This was enhanced by the high level of involvement in controlling the events that take place across the world. The US has been an active player in working with other international players in the processes of promoting peace and coexistence among the nations. Its large stake in a number of countries politically or economically has made the US a major player in the international politics. The high involvement of the United States in international relations has led many to argue that it to be considered as the ?policemen of the world?. ?The United States acts as the world?s police, through taking policy and practical military action/missions in war/conflict torn areas across the world, with the focus to enforce global security.??

2.0 Research Outline

Indeed, many people have argued that the US military actions in the past have presented the United States as the world?s police. In other words, it presents the US as a country, which is focused on enforcing law and order across the divide. The high involvement of the United States in the international security matters indicates the concern that the United States has had on the global security. The US is always watching out on the events occurring in influential countries globally: has its military always ready for any missions abroad. The flexibility of the military, and their positioning in major seas, and locations is an indicator that the US is watching all events occurring globally.

I would like to agree with the statement ?The United States acts as the world?s police, through taking policy and practical military action/missions in war/conflict torn areas across the world, with the focus to enforce global security.? This is because of the many military interventions that the United States has participated. The recent past has seen the United States taking an active role in various international events. Some of the events that the US has participated have led to a debate, and controversy among the American public. This is because parts of the public have not supported the US involvement while others have (Benhabib, 2008).

2.1 List three to five (3-5) international incidents since World War II where America has taken on a policing role?

There are a number of international incidences after the WWII where the United States has taken a policing role. The United States became a superpower economy and nation after the WWII. The United States had to take on a policing role to ensure that it remains in control over international events across the world. The policing role was a strategy to ensure that it is updated on what is going on across the world, on its stake, and the finest ways to arbitrate the prevailing circumstance (Cameron, 2005).

The United States has taken on a policing role through participating in events like the Iraq war and ousting of Saddam Hussein, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the Afghanistan war. The participation of the US in these events has sparked controversy existed within the American public regarding U.S. involvement and within the country or countries affected by U.S. involvement.

2.2 List three (3) aspects of US history since 1865 that has led to the US?s rise as a world superpower policeman?

The three aspects of the US history that led the U.S. to rise as a world superpower police officer include:
The developments in the US Foreign policy
The Empowerment of the U.S. Presidency and Power
The development of high intelligence on global security

2.3 Determine two to three (2-3) international events from the past five years that can be traced back to a foreign policy created after the Civil War.

In the past few decades, the US has played a critical role in various international events. These events date back to a foreign policy created after the civil war. These events include the military action that the US has taken in support of a number of military missions across the world. A good example includes the Tunisian crisis where the US provided military aid comprising many of helicopters and ammunition. This was done despite the human violations, and abuse of power in the country. The other example is the Syrian conflict, where the US has come public against Syrian political unrest.

2.4 List three to five (3-5) driving forces that fueled international policy decisions involving the international incidents you outlined previously. (Consider treaties, exit strategies, elections, wars, etc.)?

In the case of Syria, the driving force that fueled the international policy decisions undertaken by the US was political unrest in the country. The political unrest in the country and increased conflict threatened peace, which affects the US due to its economic and social interests in the country. The same case happens in the context of Tunisia. Tunisia experienced political unrest, which risked the country to enter into anarchy. The challenge was that the people were against the leadership because of the threats it posed to America. This situation was getting worse, and the US had to step in through providing support to calm the situation (Cameron, 2005).

ID a specific problem in a community and how it was addressed with community policing. How did police respond? Was it successful? Why?

Times Square NY is the community selected.



Community justice operates at the local level. The programs
and experiments focus on a particular venue seen to have a clear identity.
The Midtown Community Court in New York City, for example, one
of the flagships of community courts, is specifically addressing the
crime problems in a distinct part of Manhattan, including the notorious
Times Square area. The Red Hook Community Justice Center is being
set up specifically to deal with law and order problems in an inner city
neighborhood of Brooklyn. Baltimore, too, is developing similar programs
for its neighborhoods. The criminal justice system is beginning
to change from a centralized and hierarchical system to a system with
devolved areas of responsibility?not dissimilar to the police beat or
precinct. In the new model, the system is organized to be focused externally
toward a specific area?one that the local community can relate
to.

It is a 7 page argumentative essay. The job is to critique the arguments on the side of the debate that is pro-anti-loitering laws and other police measures that are designed to control gangs.
-The question to answer is: Should pre-emptive police practices such as anti-loitering laws he allowed in order to preserve public safety and order?
-The thesis sentence has to have an "Although clause.." which means "Although ..(here address the arg of the opposition with the strength of it).., ..(here put my arg and the reasons to support it.
-this is a rough thesis just so u understand my position: "Although the presence of gangs in Los Angeles is a prevalent problem that can lead to criminal activity and can pose a threat to public safety, pre-emptive police practices such as anti-loitering laws only stigmatize and indiscriminately target young men based on racial profiling instead of on their criminal conduct. LAPD drug busts and massive raids have proven unsuccessful in establishing accountability and results in police brutality and the overly harsh enforcement of petty offenses as minor drug possessions. "
-The texts are: John Stuart Mill''s essay "On Liberty"
Mike Davis "City of Quartz Chapter 5 only called "The Hammer and The Rock"
James K. Hahn "Rethinking gangs'' rights vs. Our Rights" in the LA Times on Feb 5, 1988 in Metro op-ed
LA times article Dec 4, 2002 on page A1 and A24 called "City Declares War on Gangs" by Megan Garvey and Richard Winton.
If it is necessary the other source that can be added if there is space and time and need is LA Times article "High Court Rejects Ban onGang Loitering" by David G. Savage
-Read Mill''s essay "On Liberty" and use as foundation for understanding of individual freedom versus public good.
-Then use all rhetorical tools to analyze arg. as put forth by Hahn and Davis and mostly show how Hahn''s pro-anti-gang measures and anti-loitering laws ..to show how his arg. is vulnerable to criticism ---This means use some of logical fallacies discussed in Hahn''s arg. such as ad hominem, hasty generalization, post hoc, ergo prompter hoc, black/white fallacy, card stacking, name-calling, circular argument and the bandwagon approach..not all need to be discussed but some that are really apparent should be used to show the flaws in the opposing arg.------Also address "pathos" "ethos" or "logos" whether Hahn and/or Davis have balance of all to show strength in their arg or just really show logical reasonging or ethical reasoning or lack emotional reasoning meant to tug at heart strings.

Essay needs to:
-Examine the assumptions, claims, issues and evidence found in both texts
-Unified around main line of arg and my thesis give reasons to support arg..and text as support and to prove opposition weak
-Be supported with specific references to both texts
-Refer to Mill''s concept of liberty in order to support my arg for the side of Davis that pre-emptive police practices alienate, discriminate, and are unconstitutional.
- Include works cited page and MLA documentation throughout
Prof says this may be good rough plan just to help u if u have a better idea that works:
1)Lay out the historical context of this problem briefly in intro . Thesis sentence in form of "although..,..." clause
2)Address opposition. Acknowledge some tactics that have worked..dont need to put all of opposition arg in one paragraph maybe throughout need to mention
3)Proof/support of racial profiling (from Davis also the LA times article on Anti-loitering or other one)
4)Police brutality/ineffectiveness of harsh raids (David reading, also little in LA article city declares war)--Davis shows extreme cases and some may be exagerrated but his arguments and supporting reasons and claims are correct
5) The war imagery-rhetorical and is used throughout both Davis and Hahn in different ways-important. Davis refers to police measures as Vietnam-catch if catch can with stop and search laws etc and diction shows strong pathos that the minorities and teens are "victims". Hahn is oppos saying they are "juvenile terrorists" and further words to describe chaos of destruction of war
6) Ineffectiveness in ameliorating problem ..with overpopulating of prisons with minor teen drug offenders. May be extreme prison example but makes point. Overpop is true
7) Media contributing to the gang scare==not reporting the police blips and unsuccessful raids in getting the "terrorists" and public not hear about the police brutality. --(reading in Davis and also use current article of city declares war..saying some stats on raids and charges for criminal offenses.----Can conclude with present state of problem and through article describes new "drug war" and "anti-gang" efforts by Bratton to rid areas of scum.

Thanks so much..Hope u can help me. Please make sure its argumentative essay.each paragraph has topic sentence and logical flow and support..not neglect the opposition and weaken argumen have to through use of LOGICAL FALLACIES, SOME OF THE MAIN ONES, AND "Pathos" "Logos" and/or "Ethos" used to persuade reader that each have potential to go overboard with emotional reasoning or just logical reasoning.
Thanks!!!

Locate a significant news article reporting events which in reasonable reading would cast bad light on criminal justice agencies along ethical lines. The substantive facts from the reported event will be reported, and if the matters have reached final outcomes.

Style this Research Report this way: Each of the numbered items below will have its own major heading in the report. Example:
1. Name of Newspaper or source.
2. Facts.
3. Analysis (deontological or utilitarian).
4. Solution/Opinion.

1. Select an article from the print media (any current, that is reasonably current, newspaper article). Identify the source, name of the newspaper (or print media), page or column number. This information will appear at the top of the report. The major thrust of the article you choose will relate to purported misbehavior (violation of ethics) of (a) member(s) of a criminal justice agency (courts, corrections, police) or by the agency itself.

2. Summarize/state the "facts" as reported by the article. These facts will be the basis of the allegations of misbehavior, and the basis of your report back to me.

3. Analyze the unethical behavior in light of whether the violation(s) were (is/are) contrary to "deontological" or "utilitarian" ethical norms.

4. If, according to the chosen article, there appears to be a "solution" as proffered by the ethical offender (agency, or member) or forced upon it (him/her) by legal standards, or other external pressures, tell if this solution parallels what you think the solution ought to be.

WEEK 6

- Final Research Paper


Case Study Analysis and Findings

The final assignment for this course is a Case Study Analysis and Findings. The purpose of the Case Study Analysis and Findings is for you to utilize the knowledge and skills developed in this course to evaluate the psychological methods and theoretical models of criminal behavior as well as the police psychology and the psychological aspects of all participants in the criminal justice process relative to a specific criminal episode. An overview of forensic psychology as it relates to the criminal justice process should be included.

This course has addressed issues of psychological theory and practice relative to the functioning of the criminal justice system. These impacts range from the offender, to law enforcement and investigations, to practices and legalities of law in the courtroom, to the participation and impact of victims and witnesses, and to treatment and sentencing rendered in the correctional environment. Research continues regarding the biological, genetic, psychological, and social impacts on mental health and resulting behavior. These findings will continue to find their way into the legal implications of the psychological influences on behavior.

The focus of your Case Study Analysis and Findings paper will be based, in large part, on the weekly assignments you completed throughout the course. In each of the weekly assignments, you address a particular aspect of the overall criminal case and offender that you selected in Week One.

In the Week One Literature Review assignment, you provide the resources necessary for each phase of your final analysis and findings.
In the Week Two Case Summary and Offender Profile assignment, you provide an analysis of the behavior of the offender relative to the psychological history and evaluation of the offender.
In the Week Three Investigative Psychology assignment, you provide an analysis of the behavior of the investigators including the analysis of the crime scene. This assignment also describes the psychological, behavioral, environmental, and cognitive factors that influence the investigation, including intervention strategies to reduce the impact of stress on law enforcement.
In the Week Four Legal Psychology and Victimization assignment, you provide a discussion on the role of the psychological profile of the offender and the victims have on the presentation of evidence in court, including the analysis of legal psychology as it is implemented in the criminal justice process.
Finally, in the Week Five Psychological Treatment in Correctional Settings assignment, you provide a discussion on the impacts the psychological make?up of offenders have on the functional responsibilities of incarceration facilities and how the biases and assumptions of correctional service providers influence their assessment of and interaction with these offenders.
Utilizing your research and analyses completed for the Weeks One through Five assignments, consider the psychological methods and theoretical models of criminal behavior as well as the police psychology and the psychological aspects of all participants in the criminal justice process relative to the specific criminal episode selected in Week One. Present your findings within the continuing context of the endogenous and exogenous theories of criminal behavior and the analysis of how our biases and assumptions influence our assessments of individuals. Correlate these to the cultural-based behavior patterns that may be specific to certain segments of the population with an evaluation of the potential impact and intervention strategies that may be utilized to reduce the impact of stress on law enforcement personnel.

In your Final Research Paper

Evaluate the theory of criminal behavior related to the selected case.
Analyze the biases and assumptions that influenced participants in the case process.
Address each of these participants:
Investigators
Prosecutors
Defense attorney(s)
Jurors
Judge
Analyze the role the psychological profile of the offender played in how the investigation was conducted and in any subsequent court proceedings.
Discuss the impact of this case on future actions and ideology of the criminal justice system relative to the psychological issues presented (or denied) in this case.
The Final Research Paper

Must be seven double?spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Must include a separate title page with the following:
Title of paper
Student?s name
Course name and number
Instructor?s name
Date submitted
Must use at least eight reliable and scholarly sources in addition to the course texts.
Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment

You are a police psychologist for a major metropolitan area. You are also a member of its hostage negotiation team. You have just been called out to a crisis incident at 3:15 p.m. on a Friday. It is a residential area about three blocks from a middle school and a public library. The information you have at this time is that the subject is a 42-year-old male who is holed up in his house with his wife, son, and family friend. He has murdered his next-door neighbor and is threatening to kill those in the house if he does not get his demands. One of his demands is for immunity from the murder charge if he surrenders without harming any of the people in the house. He also wants a case of beer and some fast food soon or "something will happen".
Your paper must address the following points:
1. Explain the type of incident, which category this hostage-taker falls into, and what your optimal role is in the situation.
2. Provide a plan and course of action to interact with this person. What precautions will you and the department take? What tertiary problems do you foresee in the prolonged standoff and how would you address them? What sources would you use to gather information regarding the perpetrator, and what specific information would you want to have?
3. Even though you have only minimal information (which is the reality in most crisis situations), identify some probable hypothesis as to the perpetrator's mental state, symptom presentation, and the likely outcome of the incident.
4. Speak to the roles you could have played in preparation for crisis incidents and how it could have benefited the department. Identify what needs to occur before you as the psychologist can become an integral part of the team.
5. Include in your paper statistical information around the likelihood of a successful hostage negotiation, given the information provided, and the length of time in which you have to do so.
