In addition, the success that has come from the implementation of the Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy only shows that in the future it will become more successful. This program has helped improve the residents’ confidence that the police are there to help combat crime, to ensure the community is a safe place to live as well as a reduction in major crimes. “Evaluations of the alternative policing strategy in Chicago show that from 1993 to 2002, the fear of crime went down by 20% among groups most fearful of crime and

For the final project for this American Policing course I’ve created a research paper on Policing in America. Throughout the contents of this paper I have identified whether the current policing philosophies have a positive or negative impact on the communities and how I’ve arrived at this conclusion. I have provided this critical assessment and recommendation based on text readings, scholarly research, and personal experience, in and out of the bonds of this course.

There is always controversy around the issue of Chicago Police violence against the civilians. In the past few years, Chicago police officers have been using excessive force in dealing with criminals and civilians. Shootings, false arrests, illegal seizures, and physical violence are problems resulted in police misconduct that have been going for years. Chicagoans now not only start concerning about their safety from the criminals but also worried on protecting themselves from the officers that supposed to keep them sound. Statistic shows that there have been around 56,500 claims on Chicago police misconduct from the citizen since 2014 and roughly 96% of them are abandoned from further investigate.

Mayor Emanuel and Johnson proclaimed that “The department will remain tireless in its efforts to hold criminals accountable for their actions,” and that “They and the department will work to fight crime, but we all have a part to play in creating a safer Chicago” (Berman). Emanuel closed the press conference stating “In the coming weeks and months, I plan on meeting with and listening to a range of Chicagoans-from activists and elected officials to ministers and parents- to find ways that we can come together to build mutual trust and lasting partnerships that will make our streets sager for everyone” (Berman). He emphasized his duties as Chicago’s mayor to represent everyone’s concern over the recent spike in violence plaguing the

Chicago has a crime problem. The city experiences crime far too much and at too high an intensity. According to the FBI Preliminary Semiannual Uniform Crime Report, Chicago experienced 14,007 violent crimes from January through June in 2017 out of a population of 2,725,153; whereas Los Angelos and New York--the only two cities more populous than Chicago in the United States--experienced 14,440 and 22,369 violent crimes out of populations of 4,007,905 and 8,566,917 respectively (“2017 Preliminary…”). Chicago experiences crimes unproportional to its size--it experienced over half as much crime as New York experienced while having just under a quarter of its population.

I will evaluate the murder of Jones. I will talk about how Jason was convicted of murder in the second degree and got six years in prison. I will analyze and discuss the damaging effects of corruption on law enforcement by relating the issue of murder to the arrest of a law enforcement officer for a high – profile crime – property, violent, or white collar. I will explain how a officer 's choice and behavior can affect an entire law enforcement agency. I will explain how the choice can also affect the reputation of the community, finding of the agency, and other community or criminal justice-related issues. I will discuss how the legislature defines criminal behavior and how money influences every decision they make for the criminal justice system daily functions. I will suggest a plan on how Centervale 's criminal justice professionals can help to bridge the gap between legislature and the citizens by bringing more awareness about legislature that might affect them before it is signed into law (that is, public safety legislation, and crime control legislation). I will support my position on the early release of violent offenders from prison with criminal justice, research on recidivism and other pertinent topics, such as budgetary constraints. I will also talk about the " fear of crime " that citizens have brought to the Mayor and other city officials from the violent crime stand point. I will also recommend and support my research with examples from Centervale officials,

Because of police brutality, communities won’t trust the police anymore. The society needs to find a solution to police brutality. Police officers should have the goal of building trust and forming a relationship with communities and citizens especially with African Americans. I think that an effective solution like psychological evaluation would help monitor cops who shows signs of mental disturbance that might conflict with their work. Additionally, when the police are writing their report paper about an incident that happened, the police should try not to cover up the incident but rather write what really happened. Another effective solution is that, the police officer should be able to make good decision. For example the police should

Third question: do you think that what is happening in Chicago is because no one really knows what’s causing all of the excessive level of violence? Fourth question: do you believe things or the cause will be found out, and the area will be cleaned up and crime reduced or will it just be taken over section by sections still good citizens will have to leave the area?

The two topics that I decided to research are the Militarization of the police which was first presented in Chapter 1 (Module 1.2) and Diversity in Police Departments presented in Chapter 3 (Module 3.5) and Chapter 7 (Module 7.4 and 7.5). I chose these two topics because they are actively being discussed, many issues and questions are centered around how militarized the police have become and how they, the police officers, handle themselves and other civilians. Another issue that has been receiving a lot of attention is the misrepresentation of certain communities within the police force. Using my Ronald G. Burns textbook and the outside sources that I’ve found, I will do an in-depth analysis each topic.

The agreement to improve police-community relations has been identified as one of the most comprehensive and creative plans, calling upon both community members and police to participate in both a structural and cultural manner to the issues discovered (Background, 8). There were objectives that strove to improve the relationships between the two groups by fostering trust and respect as they worked to a common goal of a better community at large. They were also changes in the police system itself to address hiring, monitoring and accountability within the system (Background, 9). These changes were conservative in nature aiming to increase accountability between the groups and also the amount of accountability the officers had to their rules and proceedings. The considered success of these implementations could be attributed to the diversity of those leading the commission. The leaders of the response to the crisis include the Mayor, a prominent African American business and civic leader, and other business, philanthropic and civic leaders (Background, 6). This diversity included a wide range of members that allowed it to reach past the historical tendency of segregation and exclusion of community

Scott Herndon presented an overview of the financial results for the May, June, and FY17 July for the Texas Ministry Market and then for the Seton Family of Hospitals.

With so much that has transpired recently involving law enforcement and the citizens that they are sworn to protect and serve. There are many questions along with different controversial views on the roles of policing. The roles of policing are a very complex and at times can become very controversial depending on the laws and different induvial ways of thinking. In this paper, I will attempt to point out and discuss several roles of policing. Before talking about anything first, the understanding and clarity to what policing really means. By tradition, most people think of police usually as having the responsibility to responding to crimes after it has already taken place and, therefore are organized to support regular patrols, be speedy

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.

The murder rate is alarming for the city that houses the leader of the free world. The deeply segregated community is probably the reason why the urgency to address the violence is taking long (Taylor).” The real problem of crime and violence is in the poor and working class communities of color” (Taylor). The violence in Chicago should be depicted as “poverty-on-poverty instead of black-on-black because the actual source of the tension is in the headline” (Taylor).

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.
