Special Victims Unit (Law And Order SVU)

Over the summer, I began a series on netflix named Blue Blood. It is about a family, The Reagans, who are or were in the New York Police Department. The show revolves around five members of the family who are in the criminal justice field; the Reagans grandfather is retired from police force, the father is the police commissioner, one son is a rookie in the police force, the other son is a detective in the force, the daughter is a district attorney, and their other brother, who was also a police officer, was killed. With the members of the Reagan family being in different aspects of the job, this show shows different aspects of police culture.

Among the criminal justice organizations, there are numerous criminal justice professional associations that assist law enforcement with policies, standards, analysis, and training and education. The Department of Homeland Security has a mission to secure the nation from any threat it may face (“Homeland Security”, n.d.). The Department of Homeland Security duties are wide-ranging and their goal is to keep America safe.

As the leader of the criminal justice honor society at ASU, I have created partnerships with volunteer organizations such as the 100 Club of AZ, and have continued partnerships with Free Arts of Arizona, the Rearley Foundation, and Release the Fear. As the leader of the school organization, I have been able to engage in volunteer actives that have raised awareness about abused children and families in need. I have also implemented a provisional membership program within our organization to promote academic successes with freshman through mentorships, counseling, and tutoring. I have contributed an average of 20 hours per week to the honor society. I have also created a mentorship program with the Mesa Police Department that allows students to engage with the department to prepare them for career opportunities. I have set up events at ASU with the ASU Police Department, Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and Maricopa County Office of Public Defender to bring more resources to students. I have a high belief in doing the very best you can. I have seen many students who think they are unable to be as successful as other and I have attempted to mentor those students to help them understand their full potential. I personally never thought I would ever attend a university or pass classes with a high GPA. However, I have learned that we are only limited by ourselves, and all of us are capable of

It is unfortunate that crime exists in our daily lives. There really is no way to stopping crime completely, no matter how many laws or punishment are present, people will continue to keep breaking rules. There are many theories of why that may be the case, for example, Caesar Lombroso and his “atavistic” theory with the Positivist School theory and how people were “born criminals”, or the Rational Choice Theory, devised by Cornish and Clarke, described that people could think rationally and how people will naturally avoid pain and seek pleasure referred to as “hedonism” (Cartwright, 2017, lecture 4). Since it is apparent that crime will continue to exist, it is not only important to understand the study of crime and the feedbacks to it,

How do you define, talk about, and understand domestic violence (DV) /interpersonal violence (IPV)? Ms. Latimore defines domestic violence as a pattern of physical, sexual, and/or psychological abuse or the threat of abuse used to get and maintain control over another person in a domestic setting. She says intimate partner violence (IPV) is violence in an intimate relationship by one spouse or a partner onto another spouse or partner. She says that no one ever knows that their relationship is going to become abusive from the beginning, as everything seems perfect during the early stages. She further states that controlling and possessive behaviors emerge as the relationship grows. Ms. Latimore concludes that although domestic violence may not look the same in every relationship, the one thing they all have in common is, the abusive partner wants power and control over his victim.

The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is one of the two ways crime rates are measured in the United States. These Crime Statistics are produced from data received from over 18,000 city,

“Surprise, AZ (November 1, 2012) The City of Surprise had the second-lowest rate of property crime and violent crime in 2011 among the largest cities in Maricopa County, based on the city’s analysis of the latest FBI statistics” (Arthur, n.d.). Could social economic play a role in Surprise, Arizona’s low violent and property crime rate? Or could it be sufficient guardians set in place formal (police, security guards, etc.) and/or informal (neighbor, friends and others, etc.)? “According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report for 2011 as analyzed the Surprise Police Department, Surprise recorded 1.09 violent crimes and 21.79 property crimes per 1,000 residents last year” (Arthur, n.d.).

Massachusetts was founded on the ideal that all citizens are equal in the eyes of the Law. Without the Massachusetts State Police and their 149 years of experience our beloved state would be overrun by criminal offenders. As of 2014 the Massachusetts statewide crime rate was on average 25.59%. Violent Crime being about 4.06 % of the average, and Property Crime being about 21.53% of the average. The Massachusetts State Police is an agency apart of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ E.O.P.S. (Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.) The Massachusetts State Police are responsible for criminal law enforcement, along with traffic vehicle regulation across the Commonwealth. As of 2014 it has approximately 2,300 Officers, and out of 2,300 1,500 of these officers are uniformed troopers. 400 of these officers are civilian support staff which make the Massachusetts State Police the largest Law Enforcement agency in New England. Currently the Massachusetts State Police is under the command of Colonel Timothy Alben.

The costumes had lots of designs and they were unique and portrayed an excellent account of what the workers and Canadians would have actually worn. The storyline was interesting to watch and you could really engage with the characters. You could feel how the character’s felt when certain events happened. You also care about what happens to the characters like when Little Tiger went to Gold Mountain to look for her father, everyone wanted her to find her father in the end. The show also portrayed a realistic recreation of life in China and Canada in the

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a federally-funded agency that was founded in 1908 by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. The FBI, formerly know as the Bureau of Investigation (1909-1935) recruited men with previous law enforcement experience to become a part of this exclusive team that aimed to solve law violations such as bankruptcy, naturalization, antitrust, peonage, and land fraud. The Mann Act of 1910, which made transporting women over state lines for “immoral” purposes a crime, led to the first major expansion of jurisdiction for the bureau. During WWI, the FBI took over the responsibility for the Espionage, Selective Service and Sabotage Acts. With it’s head quarters in Washington, D.C., the FBI today has over 56 field offices throughout the United States and Puerto Rico and an estimated 35,000 working agents.

The state law enforcement agency that obtained the offender’s information is responsible for entering the data into the appropriate record system and notifies the appropriate law enforcement agency that resides over the jurisdiction of the offender. All of the data collected from the offender will also be transferred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Every year on the date of the person’s initial registration the state law enforcement agency will mail them a nonforwardable verification form to their last reported address. The person then is required to mail the verification form to the designated state law enforcement agency with ten days. Verification forms must be signed and the person must report they still reside at the same address last reported to the state law enforcement agency. Failure to mail the verification form within ten days results in a violation of the act unless the person is able to prove their address has not changed (statute).

Law & Order SVU is about the edgy police procedural work that the members of the Special Victims Unit take upon themselves as they investigate sexual offenses such as rape, incest and pedophilia. This show is featured on Netflix originals and along with a television series being broadcasted too, this show includes over 20 seasons with around 20 episodes per season which brings it to an enormous and successful track record that proves it is a reputable and great display of police work. In this essay, I will focus on Season 15 Episode 11 called “Amaro’s One-Eight”. This episode starts with a celebration party for a former Sergeant leaving his post and a member from the special unit being promoted to the Sergeant position meaning that an insider

Come up with and list several television shows that serve as examples of “quality” programs and “trashy” programs. What characteristics determine their quality (plots, subject matter, themes, characters…)? Quality: One Tree Hill: it touches a wide range of subjects. One big theme throughout the show is family.
