An Investigation On Criminal Justice Agency

In this new age of consciousness evoking the notion of progress and continuity with new ideas in the field of administration of justice is truly a remarkable phenomenon (Taylor, 2013). Overtime numerous theories have been posited regarding the causes of crime and deterring criminal behavior. However, little attention has been given to the law enforcement of social policy and government regulation. Meier (19877) suggests that one path toward addressing justice issues would be to strive for more adequate research; that is, to conduct studies which are not only methodologically sound, but also operationally comparable. At this present time, there is a great need for critical scholarship, research and learning models within the field of

At the majors fair I visited a total of three different major tables. Those majors were Criminal Justice, Anthropology and Simulation and Game Design. The first major that I visited was the Criminal Justice table because I am taking intro to Criminal Justice and wanted more information about the major. At the table was Ms. Kusko the department chair and also my professor for my Criminal Justice Class. At the table I learned that students interested in the Criminal Justice field have to take the intro class and also a few psychology classes such as the intro class and the Psych and Law class. Additionally, I learned that there are very interesting jobs for graduates in the Criminal Justice major from working in local law enforcement all the

This paper will address the functionality of the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice. First, it will examine the Agency as a whole and then it will explore the individuality of sectors within the agency. Second, the paper will discuss the different ways that the agency survives and serves the community. The South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice plays a vital role in the success of at risk youth and maintaining a secure structure to assist youth that end up in troublesome situations.

The realities and everyday necessities in Indigenous communities seem concealed and compromised in the enduring Indigenous criminal law discourse which is framed by issues throughout history, jurisdictions, prisons, courts and the criminal justice system. Whilst today’s intergeneration effects of poverty and the loss of autonomy fuel Indigenous disadvantage, the criminal law institution is another contributor which vividly displays disadvantages and barriers which preclude Indigenous Australians from sufficiently accessing justice. However, the pursuit for justice is more multifaceted than a return to Indigenous tradition and retainment of the dominant criminal justice system. The following essay will highlight this

I chose to explore the Abington, Hatboro and Whitpain townships police departments’ websites for this assignment. Each department included on their website where they were located and how they could be contacted. They also included some frequently asked questions and general information about the department and how to go about reporting crime or paying tickets. Abington and Whitpain both included a “mission statement” while I was unable to find one for Hatboro. The one feature I liked about the Hatboro website is that although there wasn’t very much information, it did give the exact number of working officers and how they broke down into specific roles.

I am honored to the opportunity to internship at the Bibb County Sheriff Department supervised by Cindy Gresham, the executive assistant of this agencies. Historically, there were two agencies ensuring public safety in Bibb County, The Bibb County Sheriff Department and the Macon Police Department. There were five attempts to consolidate the two agencies, but consolidation was unsuccessful. However in 2003, the two agencies were consolidated into one unified government formally known as the “The Bibb County Sheriff Department.” This consolidations prompted a complete reconstruction of the unified agencies. There were new policies and rankings implemented and the creation of a newly organized board. This paper will explain the mission of the agency, the types of services provided, sources of revenue, the administration and organization structure, and community resources utilized.

This learner lives in Augusta, GA, and we do not have a lot of police stations, in fact, we only have one sheriff department. That organization is called the Augusta Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, which is run by Sheriff Richard Roundtree, the first African American this area has had who has the experience, training, and other credentials to take command of this organization verses others

On Friday, May 06, 2015 at 5:00 pm, I interviewed Westwego Police Officer Jeffrey Johnson at Starbucks in Marrero, Louisiana (1677 Barataria Blvd, Marrero, LA 70072). The city of Westwego is a suburb of New Orleans which is located in Jefferson Parish along the Mississippi River. Officer Johnson has been employed with the Westwego police department for fourteen years but also works a second job due to the unsatisfying salary and hopes to retire from both in the near future. Officer Johnson was enticed by the job security and benefits package which allowed him to provide for his family. He most importantly desired a career in law enforcement because of his long foreseeing passion to help and make a difference in the lives of others. The Westwego

The organization that I will use for this seven week assignment will be the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD). I currently work for this police department and have been here for almost eleven years. The police department’s mission is to provide a community based police department to its citizens so they will feel safe in their communities with in Nashville Tennessee. The MNPD services the citizens of Nashville and Davidson County with all of its 526 square miles as the primary law enforcement agency in Nashville. The city does have a Sheriff’s department but they handle the jail system as well as civil warrant servicing. The MNPD currently has approximately 1342 sworn personnel with approximately 1628 people which include the

Criminal justice administration mainly focuses on crime prevention and punishing any illegal activities. Criminal justice administration is wide and it entails law enforcement and the judicial administration. Some of the jobs that relate to criminal justice administration include; security coordination, juvenile delinquency administration, law enforcement and being a courtroom official. Additional crime is also part of criminal justice administration. This field entails terrorism prevention, immigration policies and social policies. Other duties that criminal justice entails include; police officer, community relations advocate and correctional officer. For an officer working with the criminal justice administration, his work involves law enforcement (Bharti, 2008).

It is obvious that police officers are using their jobs as law enforcers to obtain illegal items and are shamefully betraying their police departments. The policemen who were involved in this drug smuggle were veterans. When people think of veterans, whether it be a veteran of war or a veteran of a police department, we think of someone who has devoted many years, served and been loyal to the service. People have admiration for veterans and recognize them for being committed to the service as well as being faithful to every year they have been involved in it. Now the four veteran police officers from Chicago will be spending time in prison instead of adding more years to the service of policing. Those years that the veteran police officers were dedicated to the policing is now history, they could have helped lower crime rates in Chicago, but instead they are facing prison time.

This learner thinks that the only way implement judicial accountabilities is to first look at all the cases where race seems to be an issue for certain judges, second never just go to that judge, call across the board meeting, and by using either a pie chart or a bar chart show them the overall numbers of African Americans, Caucasian, Hispanics, and other races that have the same crime, but there sentencing was different. Third, after this is completed ask for the judges input on how the system can create accountability for the courts sentencing and what need to be adjust on the guidelines in order for this to work, and lastly, explain this is not about blame it is about making correction based on the fact and the number that

This report shall examine the role of the police in the criminal justice system. For background it will detail a brief history of the development of the police then look at the later development of police powers of arrest, detention and of stop and search. Further to this it will examine the role of the police in miscarriages of justice and the effects of these miscarriages on the development of safeguards for people detained by the police. Also the measures taken to prevent further miscarriages of justice such as the development of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to decide if the evidence is there and a prosecution is likely to be successful.

TYPE OF ACTION: Levy was sentence to three years to prison and appealed his case in violation of the First and Fifth Amendment, which his request was denied by the District Court but the Court of Appeals overturned, holding that article 133 and 134 were vagueness.

The criminal justice system of the United States is based on a system fragmentation and operation. This system consists of overlapping powers between the state and federal laws that creates a conflict with regards to criminal justice. Consequently, this generates a dysfunctional and inefficient system that a times fails to produce credibility in criminal justice. The rationale behind this is that there is no clear interpretation concerning where federal law ends and where state law begins.
