Pedagogical Perspectives

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

Pedagogy is a word that is used to describe the art and science of teaching. Pedagogical roles are the many and varied that a teacher may perform while teaching, such as structuring, soliciting, responding and reacting. Other roles involve assessing, criticising, discussing, encouraging, enquiring, evaluating, explain, giving individual instruction, lecturing, organising, presenting, questioning and answering, repeating and reviewing and team teaching and tutoring etc.

Throughout this whole term we have learned numerous roles of the criminal justice profession. How on a macro level law enforcement has made points to serve and protect, all the way down to the micro level of society. Men and women risk their lives every day to make sure that the law is obeyed, and their community is still held together. In the following paper you will see how the criminal justice profession helps on an individual and societal level. But what does each level mean you may ask, well let’s break it down a little. Individual need is person to person with the law, where societal is in the community of the law enforcement. The first individual need are assaults in and around bars. "The proliferation of bars in many communities

A criminal justice system has been in place since the dawn of time, from the hue and cry era of policing to the advancement of the system there have been many laws, models, and theories set into place to protect the citizens but also to provide law enforcement officers with power to carry out their duties. A communities interest in the criminal justice system is to prevent and stop crime with law enforcements assistance. This paper will provide an overlook of how concepts from the criminal justice system are applicable in everyday activities.

To begin with, the articles developed by the authors in this case are both interesting and informative. However, each article differs from the other when it comes to the depth of coverage. While Travers' article is long, detailed and more comprehensive, Newton-Francis' article happens to be brief but concise. Travers' article in basic terms "explores some implications of interpretive philosophies of social science, developed by thinkers such as Max Weber and Peter Winch, for conducting comparative research in criminal Justice" (Travers 2008). On the other hand, Newton-Francis' article mainly highlights a number of components utilized in the criminal justice arena. In so doing, the author in this case breaks her article into three main parts with each part being distinct from the other. In that regard, the article avails to its readers "an excellent resource to help account for the promise of degrees in sociology or CRJ" (Newton-Francis 2007). The article in Newton-Francis' (2007) opinion also exposes learners "to career paths they may not have

As one of the newer fields of social science, criminal justice began as a study that took from sociology. “Critics thought that criminal justice was based on a weak empirical and theoretical foundation, and that it had nothing to offer which was not already available through some established discipline, principally sociology or the law” (Clear, 2001). Over years, criminal justice has begun to make a name for it. Today, many colleges and universities offer bachelors, masters and PhD programs for those pursuing degrees in criminal justice. For some, criminal justice may be seen as just a study for those wanting careers in law enforcement, although the field is also able to prepare its students for research related to crime and the reasons why

These three agencies form what is known as “criminal justice system” even though, in reality, they are many separate entities with separate aims and values. (Daly, 2012, p. 392-393)

The American criminal justice system is a multilayered complex that interconnects courts, law-enforcement agencies, and corrections of federal, state, and local governments in the common goal of reducing crime, punishing wrongdoers, and rehabilitating offenders. The criminal justice system has three separately organized components which include law enforcement, the courts, and corrections. Each of the three components of the criminal justice system has distinct tasks and these components are not independent of one another. What each one does and how it operates have direct bearings on the work of the other components. For example, courts can deal with only those whom the police arrest, and correctional institutions handle only those who are

Gathering data and researching material is very important within the criminal justice system. No matter what profession one may have within the judicial system, researching information is something that has to be done at one time or another. Within this paper I plan on discussing what I’ve learned about research for criminal justice and its criteria. Emphases of this paper are to give some informational data on police officers and why they choose protecting the community a profession.

Throughout my three years at the University of Hartford, I have been taking classes towards my bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, such as Law and the Justice System, Introduction to Criminal Justice, Methods of Social Research, Deviance, Criminology, International Organized Crime, Women in Crime, Juvenile Delinquency, Prisons and Correction, and Policing. These classes and professors were helpful for developing my future career options and obtaining my internship with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) summer 2016.

In the article, “From Student to Employee: A Difficult Transition,” author Mina Alonso gives some suggestions to many recent graduates who are not ready for today’s workplace challenges. The author suggests that students have problems switching from school to work after they finish their degree. The first difficulty is that school is predictable and work is more spontaneous. For example, students usually know what is going to happen in class, but in the workplace unexpected situations are more common. Next, many students aren’t ready for the type of thinking that is required for the workplace due to the school’s methods of instruction. Alonso says that schools should spend less time on testing and spend more

Taking into account society today and how crime has influences on the mindsets of the population, I have found myself coming to appreciate that the Criminal Justice System affects the way people classify crime. Media and social media play a large role in the way our society understands crimes that are morally wrong; this has led me to an interest in the area of Criminology. At the age of 16, I was determined to take the option of studying at higher education due to the fact that I felt I knew where I wanted to go in terms of my future. I acknowledged that university could offer me the chance to study a subject which I am thoroughly attracted to which seems to interests me more than taking a gap year. The way criminals work and the study of

A theory from a perspective of theoretical criminology is best defined as "A major interdisciplinary and international journal for the advancement of the theoretical aspects of criminological knowledge. The journal is committed to renewing general theoretical debate, exploring the interrelation of theory and data in empirical research and advancing the links between criminological analysis and general social and political theory." (Gorelick 2011). The development and understanding of theories from different perspectives/fields of specialization are essential for finding a deeper meaning to everyday life, they give us statements which can be tested for in terms of the theories accuracy and validity. For one researcher to address all perspectives

Teaching a specialism of any matter requires the teacher themselves to be competent and confident with their own abilities first. To be a competent carpenter requires lots of experience, dedication and time – without dedication, you will not put in the time and in turn not gain the experience. Hence dedication is a fundamental element, which is expressed to all the construction students at Harlow College, in order for them to succeed. Dedication goes hand in hand with motivation, motivation is developed from enjoyment. Therefore making a positive rapport between student and teacher is a very important because ‘good teacher-student relationships are based on mutual respect. The student respects the teacher for their teaching skills, personal qualities, knowledge and professionalism’ (Petty, 2004) which puts emphasis on the teacher who is at the core of the motivation behind any prosperous student.
