The North Louisiana Criminal Justice Academy

I grew up in a neighborhood which is riddled with crime. Unfortunately, people who I grew up with became involved in gangs and criminal activities. Those actions led to them having a criminal record. When looking through the options of the podcast, People who are involved in the criminal justice system is the one I thought would be most interesting. The person Bradley Jacobs discusses what he does in the Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services (CASES).

Before getting into studying the field of criminal justice I learned that my previous knowledge about prisons and prisoners was either completely wrong or very incomplete. My first original belief was that the worst kind of people were in jail. That if you walked into a jail every person that you would see there are the worst of the worst. Another original belief was that if someone was in prison then they did something that put them there. These original beliefs came from the typical sources you get growing up, your parents, school teachers, and peers. Growing up I was taught that prison was where the terrible people went and it’s a scary place that you don’t want to be. But the moment that impacted me the most about prisoners was my senior

Being a police explorer is challenging, but I think the worst would be police Academy. Police Academy is a one week program in UC San Diego where Real Drill Instructors try to break you down mentally and physically. We would get up at 5 in the morning by the Drill Instructors thunderous voice. The first day was so physically hard that I almost cried. (We didn't have access to our phones). I wondered if I was going to make it the next day. However, that night I came to a decision, I will make it no matter what. One of the days in Academy however, was really bad when the drill instructors put tear gas into a house and we had to go through it. The house was a maze so it was harder and the harder you breathe the more gas will go into your lungs.

To become certified as a law enforcement officer in Florida as a corrections or police officer one will have to attend a basic recruit training program. While in the basic recruit course students will attend a two week, eighty hour course called criminal justice defensive tactics that has a universal curriculum for corrections and police officers across Florida. Defensive tactics and others courses during the academy are referred to as “high liability courses” due to the fact that while applying them as a law enforcement officer, the officer takes on a liability. In this course students will learn about the use of force in law enforcement, case laws, and other topics that will teach them how to make the appropriate decision when using force.

The criminal justice assembly line was a term coined by justice expert Herbert Backer referring to the system acting as a funnel or conveyor belt “down which moves an endless stream of cases, never stopping . . . most people who commit a crime escape detection, and of those who do not, relatively few are bound over for trial, convicted, and eventually sentenced to prison” (). The funnel is wide at the top, and narrow at the bottom. View the entire process as a never-ending series of 15 steps or decision points:

Our facility offers one-on-one counseling. This counseling will take place between a prisoner and a criminal social service counselor in a guarded room. The counselor will be able to have multiple sessions with prisoners to find the root of their problem and hopefully be able to work on ways to resolve some of their underline issues. They will be able to

I believe I would be a good candidate for the FBI Citizen's Academy because I very involved with youth in the high school I work in. I truly believe that all teenagers have the ability to be active and productive citizens of their community. Some of the youth need more guidance than others. I would love to continue to show how and why it is important that the decisions they make today will affect their futures.

Severe pain that interrupts a person’s ability to function in society or preform ADL’s, this is a severe form of somatization disorder. The pain felt by the person cannot be explained and does not have parameters for medical diagnosis, is caused by psychological problems.

When I first started college, my academic goals were to learn as much as possible, join a Christian fellowship, get into the criminal justice program, decide whether or not to go to graduate school, and to graduate in four years. In addition, to also to either get a job or get accepted into an internship. My overall goal was to enjoy and make the most out of my college experience. My career goals back when I was a freshman, were to figure out if I want to join law enforcement or go to law school and find a job in the field of criminal justice, while being happy working the job. Over the course of two years, some of those goals have been achieved and some goals have been changed.

The ASU Criminal Justice Honor Society, Alpha Phi Sigma holds many of the same core values as law enforcement including serving and giving back to the community. The “Kids and Cops” holiday shopping event is an exemplary way to serve the community by assisting those in need to ensure they have a joyful holiday, and Alpha Phi Sigma is proud to partner with ASU Police and Tempe Police to assist in fostering positive relationships with the community and helping those in need.

Even before the disaster brought on by Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Police Department had serious organizational and reporting issues. According to the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division (2011), several patterns were clearly discoverable in the organization, including the excessive use of force, under-reporting of internal issues, discriminatory policing, and the number of misconduct complaints were high. The issues that the Police Force faced for long years before 2005 were, however, only revealed after the flood receded, and an investigation into the internal affairs of the organization started. The below research will attempt to reveal

Law enforcement officers are inducted into the police subculture early in their career. As early as the academy, law enforcement recruits begin learning about ethics, rank structure, ethos, and other values. During the academy, recruits are trained on specific tasks tailored to police work from 8 to 16 weeks. They are taught combative skills, marksmanship, defensive driving, and other techniques unique to law enforcement by the academy staff. The academy staff normally consists of seasoned officers that usually have military training or backgrounds. In most cases, recruits tend to emulate or try to identify with these officers.

     The curriculum that is devised for a police officer is very important to the police officer and his or her success in their chosen career path. An officer’s training is also very important to the community in which they serve and the department in which they work. An officer must receive training in a variety of fields to help them be a well-rounded police officer. Officers receive training in such areas as: law, community relations, firearms, vehicle driving, search and seizure, and cultural awareness. The basic curriculum that is offered to a new recruit is focused on giving the recruit the best overall training that will give him or her the tools necessary to become the

As stated above, as a criminal justice major, academically, I have gained the ultimate development and background of the Criminal Justice System and its practices from my Intro to Criminal Justice and Criminal Law class; how they implement the laws and apply them to crimes, offenses, and offenders. The whole concept of the criminal justice system is to uphold social control, deterring and mitigating crime, or execute sanctions for people who violate the law. Throughout my Criminal Justice courses, I found certain concepts interesting; the concepts that I found most important surrounding the Criminal Justice System were Deterrence, Rehabilitation, and Punishment. These three major factors are substantially the main functions and focus in regards to offenders. Deterrence, rehabilitation, and punishment are elements that help offenders readapt back into society so they can reestablish all of the mechanisms they need to be successful. They prevent future crime, implement reconstruction, and issue consequences. They are significant and crucial factors that the criminal justice system used to promote safety, change, and justice. Deterrence focuses on future behavior by both individuals and society. As a result of offenders receiving punishment, people will deter or discourage from committing crimes in the future. The hedonistic calculus argued that harsher punishment for committing a crime will cause pain rather than pleasure and crime would be prevented (Seiter, 2017). It is basically the concept of making the punishment outweigh the reward or pleasure. I learned that they are two kinds of deterrence which are specific and general deterrence. Specific deterrence is preventing an individual offender from repeating the same crime over in the future while general deterrence focuses on society as a whole and prevent them from committing a crime in the future (Seiter, 2017). The criminal justice system also believes that it is important to focus on the offender's attitude and behavior and tries to improve them for the can reenter into society as law-abiding citizens (Seiter, 2016). Because of my Corrections class, I learned that correctional facilities have all sort of programs the deal with drug/alcohol abuse, mental
