Policing And Crime

Human relations refer to the personal environment that people create among themselves, such as; they get built out of respect and likeness for each other. Public relations refer to the kind of rapport created by those in authority to their subjects. Community relations refer to the acts that corporations and entities perform to the surrounding person voluntarily (Goffman, 2009). Examples of the three kinds of connections are:

Just like any other organization policing is looking to be the most effect and efficient while also maintaining its duties to protect and serve. There are many organizations that are interested in researching how policing can be improved and made to be the best. While some organizations rely on self-reporting type of surveys others are based strictly on the facts and evidence. Below are three different organizations that are all trying to improve policing but each take a slightly different approach at doing so.

Law enforcement agencies nationwide must constantly adapt to the changing nature of crime and the ways criminals must be prosecuted. New dangers like terrorism, as well as old ones, such as public corruption, threaten the public and force police agencies to acclimate themselves to this new environment. President Clinton explained the need for the development of the federal and local law enforcement agencies.

Everyone knows that Law Enforcement is a system of members who are in a society that act in an organized matter in order to enforce the law. By enforcing the law they punish the people who do not follow the rules by punishing them in accordance to the law in this case it is considered being locked away in the house of corrections ,there are many Law enforcement operations in The United States such as the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration Operations known as the (DEA) etc. When wanting to Policing in a Law enforcement system there is a diversity that allows all racial ethnic backgrounds and they value some traits that require empathy, compassion, and being able to relate to a person in a personal level. Also there will be many duties that

What I hope to learn from this research is to have a better understanding of how proactive policing impacts communities and what role it has on crime. While initially researching community policing and its effects on violent crime, I found out it is specifically a type of proactive policing. The subject of community policing and its effect on violent crime was too specific a subject to research. The recent police misconduct cases with local communities led me to question how effective proactive policing is and what benefits its practice had on crime. I found there has been very little research done on this subject and the research done is from decades old data collected from larger cities where the majority of violent crime is committed.

Within all communities domestically there is a presence of law enforcement. Their duties are to protect, serve and educate the community. Two types of policing are broken windows and community policing. These formal agents of social control are efforts to restrain members of society from engaging in criminal behavior.

From the study's literature review, what we already know about the research topic, which is whether police effects the levels of crime is limited. What we do know about this topic is that "A majority of studies surveyed found that either there is no relationship or increases in the number of police are associated with increases in the level of crime." (Tabarrok & Klick, 2005) Klick and Tabarrok got this information from a survey conducted by Samuel Cameron titled The Economics of Crime Deterrence: A Survey of Theory and Evidence. In the survey Cameron discusses the theoretical and empirical work of economists on the deterrent effects of punishment for criminal activity. What we also know about this research topic came from Steven Levitt, who

In this chapter, Garland discusses the implications that the crime control policies resulting from the changing economic, social, and cultural conditions of late modernity have on the future and the ways in which these policies are responding to certain issues, such as the contrast of the emphasis for individual freedom of middle and upper classes and the regulation and control of the “undeserving poor.” The methods employed by criminal justice institutions are in response to the concern of the sovereign’s ability to protect and control and the increasing need for the public’s safety, obtained through the exclusion of dangerous populations. However, these same methods can be harmful to society as they produce greater inequality as these

2. Manning’s concept of” appearance management is to discuss progressive police, forms of crime prevention and have these strategies been helpful in reducing crime rates. Progressive police views is that they cannot solve crimes alone without society help. They need help in information as while there connections or networks are vast they still have limitations in their organizations. To become co-producers in society is one of the greatest tools civilians in society can use to track criminals or those involved in schemes that can destroy a nation within to weaken their principles or beliefs. Forms of police crime prevention is that crimes can be anticipations according to evidence or studies, so they must focus on areas that have high crime

In response to question one, the immediate reaction to this image I exhibited due to the conflict between the law enforcement and crime is shocking. I myself do not live in an environment where horrific events like this image portray's happen every day. I am aware it does occur, but viewing it in this shot exceedingly alters my perspective of these altercations with the law. Furthermore, I do feel a diminutive amount of sympathy for these people caught in the perilous setting, I myself do not know what these people may be enduring in their life. They could be forced into doing these illegal acts against their will, they may be struggling financially and looked at this as an only option, or they grew up in an environment where these type of

Police corruption today is becoming an issue more and more. Today’s police, especially in densely populated areas, are well known for using excessive force on ethnic minorities, lower classes such as the homeless, and sexually abusing women and children; whether directly or indirectly. Anyone who does not follow the orders of the police, regardless of laws, is subject to police corruption and imprisonment. In cases of anticorruption the officer, judge, or public official is removed from their position by the corrupt establishment within a short amount of time. This systematic approach to corrupt political governship can be seen daily across the country causing public outrage, protests, and in some cases even riots. Why police are corrupt, and the biased system that supports corruption against minority races, lower class citizens, and females.

What is law enforcement? The term has different meanings for individuals in our society based on personal experiences. Law enforcement officers are members of society that come together in an organized fashion and enforce the law. Law enforcement officers enforce the law by deterring, punishing individuals and rehabilitating them. Law enforcement officers have been a part of our society since the beginning of our democracy. Law enforcement officers are public servants to the public to maintain peace in our society. Is this the case? In recent years, individuals have felt how law enforcement agencies treat minorities. With the on growing population of minorities in the United States, communities are becoming more diverse in police agencies. Should police agencies be a representation of the communities they serve? When individuals picture a law enforcement officer they tend to get the image of a white male officer. Individuals hardly or do not see minority, gender officers in police agencies. In our history, law enforcement officer have always been one certain race and individuals have accepted this way of order up until recent years. Many minorities or genders do not apply to police agencies for several factors or barriers it brings to them. Several factors that play a role in the diversity in police agencies are communities, fear, barriers within the agencies (promotions, work environment), and culture of our society. Society has made the image of law enforcement look bad,

Even if perceptions of police are not directly related to crime rates, Roberts also states that communities that are polarized on a subject, furthering community instability (and disorganization), will create a disregard for the institution that “failed” to regulate public opinion (Roberts, 2005). What this really means is that although public opinion about police may not directly impact crime rates, police relations are a “hot topic” and the extreme divide that has been created between police supporters and non-supports could, in turn, contribute to increased crime as people are fighting to take the authority away from the institution that centers at their argument.

Nowadays, police play a significant role in the society. They are important because they help us maintain order, ensure peace and tranquility, prevent crimes, and etc. However, a study from Pew Research Center suggested that there were only “about one-third (36%) of the public says they have a lot of confidence in their police department” in America (Morin, 2016). I think some of the reasons why people lack confidence on police is because they often heard and witnessed police officers abuse their power and receive unequal application of law. In my opinion, I do not trust the police because there was one occasion, which I met the police and their actions and words left a profound impression to me.

Policing has come a long way since the institution of the protection of the citizens. Gradually, overtime things are meant to get better. Citizen satisfactory and statistical evidence shows that policing has improved professionally, technologically, and even in affectivity. Being able to compare the timeline from early America to modern day, also displays a positive, growing influence in the society. One of the many solutions to the many early problems is community policing. Today, community policing has been adopted into many law enforcement agencies. Community policing emphasizes crime prevention and partnerships with the community. With its many goals, one of which is reducing crime and the fear of crime.
