Alicia Saathoff Case Study

The National Critique Review ends with an emotional appeal addressing cities when faced with decision to defund neighborhood civic groups. Highlighted are individuals expressing worried sentiments for the future. The review goes as far as paralleling the loss of funded neighborhood initiates to the potential risk that doing so will lead to a bunker mentality, with everyone hunker downed. Lastly, the review ends on a positive note that providing philosophical reassurances that in the time of crisis what better time is it to depend on the structures at hand and tap public wisdom?

Working as the budget director for the mayor of the city of Kelsey, we have recently been getting numerous complaints from the citizens about an increase in crime and also an issue of the public demanding for more police officers. With the population of the city growing daily, the increase of crime is continuing to progress as well. The mayor has informed us that this past year is the highest increase in crime in the city’s history, that the federal government has reduced the federal pass-through money for the state and that the budgeting group needs to revamp the budget for the coming year. Within this document as the

3. Suppose you are the mayor of Chicago and you’ve just read all the facts of Hernando’s murder of Sarah Gould. In a memo to your chief of police, what suggestions might you make to improve the structure of the city’s law enforcement to help prevent this sort of crime from happening again? I would suggest an increase in police patrols of the South Side to include an outreach program to include the citizens of the area to help instill in that community a sense of pride and moral obligation to fellow citizens. Unfortunately, the problems on the South Side of Chicago persist today and if the citizens of that area do not work as a whole together, along with law enforcement, to try and reduce the violence

Due to the continuous rise in unemployment throughout Midwest, communities are feeling the grunt of the storm. According to Pete Buttigieg, the current mayor of South Bend, Indiana, keeping the community together and making sure it remains one is an extremely difficult challenge (“Reinvention in the rust belt”). If members in communities throughout the Midwest or “Rust Belt” such as South Bend continue to lose jobs, therefore, there will be fewer wages and less money circulating, poverty and crime rates will continue to spike and there will eventually be no “community” left at all. Currently in South Bend, “…Violent crime remains nearly twice the Indiana average; 28% of its inhabitants live below the poverty line and 75% of children in public

One thing the chief in Gresham needs to keep in mind is that more police does not necessarily mean a reduction of crime. In fact studies have shown that simply increasing the quantity of police in a given area has little to no effect on the areas crime rates. (---) The disparity between the residential burglary rates in Gresham and the rest of Oregon probably reflects the fact that despite having a large number of police the city's policing tactics are not directed toward the source of the issue. this is exemplified primarily by the fact that each of the surrounding cities which have seen a reduction in residential burglaries have pre uabl sful mmunity outreach programs to promote the reduction in general residential crime. For instance one

My paper will explain a crime prevention strategy that will decrease victimization in Centervale for all crimes as well as property crimes. I will explain the victimology theory and how it fits the strategy, I chose and how. I will also include the victim theory that best fits the crimes on campus. I will also explain how the rate of crime is determined and will define the dark figures of crime. The things put in place to prevent crime are things like: neighborhood watch and policing the community. These two things alone will make a crook think twice. Sometimes if crooks see law enforcement present the will keep going instead of causing

Like many communities, Forest Acres is a community that has strengths and capacities that make the area unique. In terms of safety this community is working to provide a safe environment for residents. According to Forest Acres (2017), it is reported that the community had very few violent crimes with only one murder, three rapes, eleven robberies, and forty-six assault crimes. Therefore, it can be concluded the community is striving to meet the goal of keeping residents safe from violent crimes so they can live in the community without the worry of becoming a victim. Although violent crimes are limited, Forest Acres experiences more property crimes when compared to South Carolina’s average. The chances of becoming a victim of property crime in Forest Acres is 1 in 19, with South Carolina as a state being only 1 in 30. Therefore, it is assumed this is an upscale community that is vulnerable to break ins and is working to find solutions to help residents keep their belongings safe from burglaries. Also, it is reported that the crime index for Forest Acres is

Early in my career I was chosen to deliver the concept of Community Policing and Problem Oriented Policing as an everyday strategy department wide. I have come to realize that strategies are only as good as the partnerships you establish with the community. I found this philosophy to be especially true when I presented the first skate park initiative for the City of Broken Arrow. I led the Professional Standards Unit while creating the Juvenile Accountability Group, which received the Oklahoma Municipal League Innovation Award and recognition from the Bureau of Justice as a “Best Practice”

It comes to light that police departments across the states play an important role in fighting and preventing terrorism. They are being trained to learn and investigate local terrorist threats throughout the United States, and to make sure the community is protected from such harm. In to do so police officers will have to extend they stay in the community and be involved in such activities and improve the community trust, another thing they will have to do is to build a partnership with other local businesses and other private and non-private agencies. These changes will have to correspond with the current police training and practices.

As chief of the police department for the large diverse city of Bananafanna, I’m committed to providing the courteous, respectful and responsive police services that the citizens have not only come to expect, but also deserve. Within the last two years, the city has seen a significant increase in violent crimes, while also suffering a decrease in patrol officers. It can be argued that the largeness and diversity of the area contributes to its increase in crime, especially issues of increasing poverty, unemployment, continuing racism, and, the collapse of families” (Moore, 1992, p. 111). It can also be argued that there is no correlation between rising crime rates and strength of police force. That said my need is to add 20 additional officers to the force to increase coverage and enhance visibility, but my current budget allotment lacks any additional funds with which to hire new staff. My challenge is to provide a sense of safety and security to a large, diverse population residents have expressed concern that the police force has not met its mandate for public safety. The public’s questions and pressure applies to the mayor and the City Council are in turn levied on me (Rai, 2015).

I wanted to focus on how does Counterrorism policing effect community and police relations. This is important to me and the field of criminal justice and criminology for many reasons. A reason for this importance is that after 9-11 the united states has spent billions on domestic counter terrorism involving federal, state, and local police 2004) Congressional Budget Office. This has affected community policing (Chappell 2009) since much of the federal funding that community policing was getting has been diverted to homeland security.

I have contacted and met with Brownwood Police Department’s Assistant Chief James Fuller. He has been in this position the last six years and is responsible for the budgetary duties for our agency. The Brownwood Police Department is located in central Texas and is considered a smaller agency with 40 sworn personnel. We are the largest agency within a hundred mile radius. Last year the department operated on a 4.6 million dollar budget. The department serves a population of approximately 20 thousand. Through conversation Assistant Chief Fuller has agreed to assist in my studies with this course and provide information in regards to the budgetary process.

Preventive patrol is one of the best ways to get involved with the neighborhoods that the law enforcement is trying to protect, it is however a double edge sword while patrolling in a vehicle police can cover more ground and can witness more violations, but miss the opportunity to make relationships with the members of the community (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2016.) The foot patrol option allows for less ground to be covered, but the police are making personal connections and getting to know the area reducing the fear of crime scenarios while improving attitudes towards the police in the eyes of the community (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2016.) A study completed in Kansas City, Missouri, from the 1970s split three areas giving one area received

So far, with our readings, we have focused more on making sure we hear residents out when it comes to issues in their community. I do realize now how valuable it is to not only hear residents out, but to have them be a part of the physical implementation and management of programs and interventions. People tend to care more about what they are a part of and what they helped create. This also gives oppressed and impoverished communities the opportunity to empower themselves with the help of stakeholders in their community.
