Law enforcement

In the 1970’s Canser (1978) found that only 1.6% of females were employed in law enforcement personnel positions, even though Jurik & Halemba (1984) claim women have higher levels of education. A study conducted by Norvell, Hills & Murrin (1993) researched male verse female responses to factors involved with work in the law enforcement field. According to Norvell et al., (1993), male police officers reported higher stress levels and exhibited higher levels of three different classifications of burnout:

the cultural competence of law enforcement agencies, they are not helpful in improving the cultural competency of those agencies. This is where instituting mandatory cultural competency training comes into play. For example, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission proposed steps and recommendations to increase cultural competency and one of those steps was to “develop and deploy effective EEO and diversity/inclusion training for different state and local law enforcement audiences, including department

Final Paper Diversity in law enforcement has grown to become a hot topic within the law enforcement community. The demographic of society has changed dramatically over the last 20 years and with that law enforcement has been changing, but have they been changing enough? Different law enforcement agencies have their own ways of implementing diversity in their practices and procedures, some of them are better than others, but with issues that happen today it is important that they do something.

Behavior in Law Enforcement, Checks and Balances Introduction For the past few years, law enforcement in this country has dominated the news. Unfortunately, this has been mostly in a negative light (e.g., Ferguson, Missouri; Black Lives Matter; etc...). The purpose of this analysis is not to litigate those issues, rather to address how the police enforce ethical behavior within their ranks and how the rights of the police are protected. The focus on this case study analysis will be on a local law enforcement

marketing the device to law enforcement agencies as from 1998 onward. Before Taser International, Jack Cover invented the TF-76 in the mid-1970s. It is now considered the primary source of the modern CED or CEW’s. The TF-76 originally fired two darts that were propelled by gunpowder to reach a target up to 15 feet away. The TF-76 was initially viewed as a dangerous weapon that was severely restricted resulting in a barrier of entry into many markets including that of the law enforcement agencies. However

Background: Most research shows that the public believes that law enforcement's major goal in many urban and suburban areas is to prevent gang activity. Gang activity is certainly not a new phenomenon, but has been part of human history since Ancient Times (Rome, Greece, the Middle Ages, etc.). In most countries, gang violence patterns the sociological development of society and the evolution of criminal activity - as criminal activity becomes more sophisticated, so do gang activities. While most

Some of the key organizational principles that are used to help guide the structure of law enforcement organizations include chain of command, unity of command, span of control, and grouping like functions (Cordner, 2016). The following is a brief summary of each and their importance. CHAIN OF COMMAND Chain of command is simply a prescribed way for every member of a police department to communicate within the different levels of management (Cordner, 2016). Having a chain of command that clearly

In law enforcement, protecting lives, safeguarding property, and reducing crime is constantly challenged by increasingly sophisticated criminal activities. Governments and law enforcement agencies strive to stay ahead of offenders and ensure the safety of law enforcement professionals relying more and more on rapidly changing technology. In-car camera systems, for example, are now valuable tools used to ensure and validate a high degree of officer professionalism (Schultz, 2016). But as criminal

America are caught in the lens of law enforcement cameras. These cameras sound nefarious due to their constant watching of people. However, law enforcement cameras are anything but nefarious as their intent is to stop actions that may rightly be deemed nefarious. The cameras the law enforcement use may be on the street, a member of the law enforcement, a police car or a traffic light. With all the cameras, their purpose is for the good of the people and to enforce laws. However, there is controversy
