Difference In Violent Crime Statistics

Many statistics show the way police brutality has changed over the years. Police claim that brutality has risen 35% since September 11th 2001. Statistics show the in 1982, out of twelve thousand randomly selected citizens 13% had been victims of police brutality. Approximately 422 people that were sixteen years old or older claimed to have had contact with police in which force or threat was used on either side in 1999. In the years 2002 and 2003, 90% of the citizens shot by police were either African American or of Hispanic background(“Law”). The number of police officers killed by brutality from citizens jumped up 13% from 2010 to 2011(Bond).

Racial Injustice and police brutality is a huge subject that has been for decades. According to data released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (2011), between 2003 and 2009 at least 4,813 people died in the process of being arrested by local police. Of the deaths classified as law enforcement homicides, 2,876 deaths occurred of

     Ms.Cheng, a member of the Oct 22 Coalition say that as of 1990 more than 2000 deaths have resulted because of police brutality. In more than 30 cases suspects have been shot, killed or injured by NYC police officers in questionable circumstances in recent years. There are serious doubts about whether the suspects had

Police Brutality reemerged in the 30s through the 60s because of the Civil Right Movements, Vietnam War, and The Nixon Administration discomfort.

In 1972 the FBI was annually producing two reports which were then eventually combined in 1982 which ultimately created LEOKA (FBI, 2011). Since then, it has been used effectively each year to report the law enforcement officers. The information is broken down by state and region and it maps out which regions have more of a problem with law enforcement officers either feloniously or accidently killed and also non-fatal assaults. There are many reasons as to why LEOKA is something that should be studied. Through this information you are able to come up with explanations as to why the statistics are the way they are and can even come up with ways to prevent officers being killed or assaulted in the line of duty. I am going to discuss the different ways law enforcement officers are killed on duty and how prevalent it is and use statistics and articles to justify my

A Brief look at Policing Policing throughout the years. Policing has changed over time to become what it is today. The three eras of policing are, the political era (1840-1930), the reform era (1930-1980), and the community era (1980- present). During the political era, police officers had strong ties to the community because they lived in the communities they served and they focused on foot patrol (Miller et al., 2014). They knew who they served and protected because they were out with the same people each day. Police chiefs

During this essay, I will be discussing recorded crime statistics and victimisation surveys as they are our primary techniques of measuring levels and trends of crime. After briefly explaining what is meant by these terms, I will seek to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in order to question the extent

Is the Ferguson Effect Real? As crime statistics rise in cities across the United States, people are left with the question: Why? While there are numerous theories, one of the most debated ideas has coined its name from the city of Ferguson, Missouri. The death

A report made on May 31st shows that at least 385 people have been killed by American police since 2015 has started. FBI reports show that over the past decade, the annual average for fatal shootings by police is about 400, and this year they are close to surpassing that

Modern policing is influenced greatly by the authority in seventeenth and eighteenth century France. Modern day police departments began appearing around the nation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Following the rise of police departments came the rise of police brutality, reports of patrolmen beating citizens with nightsticks began frequently appearing. “Police Brutality” appeared in the American press as early as 1872, when the Chicago Tribune reports on a civilian who had been beat in the Harrison City Police Station.

Crime Data Comparison Paper Randy Morgan Axia College Jennifer Duncan February 4th, 2013 The two metropolitan areas I have decided to do my research paper on are Cincinnati, Ohio and Dallas, Texas. I choose Cincinnati because it is one of the bigger cities where I live. I choose Dallas because there seems to be a big difference in crime rates compared to Cincinnati. In this paper I will be comparing the burglary rate between these two cities. I will identify the number of burglaries reported to the police in each area and also explain which area had more reported

Everyone can say there has been a rise in police brutality but why? I’m asking myself if it has been influenced by surrounding cultures and I am going to say yes. Here is why in 1994 congress passed a law stating they should enforce more for crime control in the area. 1990 to 2000 there was a change in population mostly in Hispanic, white, and African American. Also police training has changed and they have improved their supervision on the many people around. These are some of the topics I will be addressing in this essay.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (n.d.), in 2005 19% of U.S. residents 16 and over had contact with a police officer. Of these contacts, 9 in 10 felt the police acted properly. During these contacts with approximately 43.5 million persons, an estimated 1.6% had force used against them or threatened to be used (Bureau of Justice Statistics, n.d.). A study by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (as cited in Police Use of Force in America 2001, n.d.) shows that force was used 3.6 times for every 10,000 (police/citizen) encounters this suggests that force was not used in 99% of all cases. Statistical data for excessive force is lacking as there is no standard measure in place. Given these figures it is safe to suggest that
