Abstract
This paper four different television cop shows: "Hill Street Blues", "Dragnet", Law & Order", and "CSI". The paper contends that "CSI" and "Law & Order" are cookie-cutter, formula shows based on the original TV cop series "Dragnet"; whereas, "Hill Street Blues" delves into real social issues. To illustrate its point, the paper contrasts specific episodes to demonstrate the superiority of "Hill Street Blues". The paper concludes that "Hill Street Blues" shuns the good versus evil theme of other TV cop shows and instead examines the complexities, contradictions and frailties of its characters, the system and police work itself.

From the Paper
"CSI Miami" is just a relocation of the same show, except more glossy as it is in Miami. In episode number 110, we see more of the same line whereby central investigators Horatio, Speedle and Calleigh root through the evidence in the homicide of a strange and unorthodox college professor whom they find tied to a tree. In another case, Delko and Megan investigate a car found in the water with a dead body in the trunk, and immediately suspect an insurance scam. Once again we are presented with clues and invited to join in the investigation as it unfolds, but with more shallow characters and predicable lines."

Abstract
This essay will examine how the philosophical understanding of populism is represented in Roger and Me and Cops in order to demonstrate that the film underlines a progressive view of populism, while Cops merely reinforces a conservative ethic, that of the power system.

Abstract
This paper introduces and analyzes the topic of problem-oriented policing. Specifically, it discusses two articles from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community-Oriented Policing Services (COPS) website and describe the approaches these articles use to address crime problems. The articles are entitled "Gangs" and "School Safety."

From the Paper
"School violence is much more than gang activity today, it can also come from outside the school in the form of vagrants, parents, and even strangers who are looking to kidnap or harm students, or even students themselves, who go on violent rampages and kill faculty and other students. While these activities are much harder to predict, there may be many indicators that are being overlooked in this area as well, and so, law enforcement agencies must educate parents, educators, and those who deal with students, from bus drivers to counselors and even school security guards, to be on the lookout for any unusual or potentially dangerous activities. If the same indicators can be identified for this type of violence, then there may someday be a way to target schools that might pose a higher threat for other type of safety issues, such as gun violence and child abduction, and this will ultimately lead to safer schools and safer students."

Abstract
This paper sympathetically examines a growing problem in the law enforcement community known as "suicide by cop." These are instances in which a disturbed person knows that his actions will result in being killed by a police officer, and that is the purpose of his actions. The author explores how this phenomenon is being dealt with in the United States, and also comments on the difficulty of collecting statistical data on suicide by cop. Also discussed is a typical profile of an individual seeking to end his life this way. The paper details a police officer's psychological experiences following one of these incidents.

From the Paper
"It may also seem to the suicidal offender that police officers will not take much time to decide whether or not to use deadly force, and will act as they are trained and will not take the event personally. This individual is determined on self-destruction and will engage in a life-threatening criminal act in order to force a police officer to kill them. Therefore, all the way around, suicide by cop is a means to end one's life using trained officers who will do the job efficiently. The act will go down as a tragic event, but not as tragic as it would have been if the person had used the gun on himself."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the emotional, psychological and physical problems many police officers experience after leaving the police force. These problems, often referred to as the "ex-cop syndrome", can be many and varied including alcoholism, higher incidences of heart attack, higher divorce rates, depression and addiction to prescription drugs. The paper also examines the police force culture that contributes to the behavior exhibited by ex-officers suffering from ex-cop syndrome.

From the Paper
"The average police officer, if he or she makes it to retirement, lives about 5 years if they don't have an action plan. For those officers who are forced to retire early, or are dishonorably discharged, adjusting to the civilian world can be nothing short of a nightmare. Those who have felt compelled to retire early may feel a sense of rejection from their colleagues-a loss of identity. They may harbor frustration at not getting promotions they felt they should have got. Very often the debriefing (such as it is), is a mere formality and does not adequately address mental health concerns that should be addressed. This can leave the ex-police officer feeling lost, confused and cast adrift from what has been a significant part of their adult life. Anger, violence, substance abuse, criminal behavior and/or suicide can flow from this unbalanced mental state."

Abstract
The paper examines an article from the Memphis,Tennessee "Commercial Appeal" that discusses the ethics behind the issuing of gratuities to police officers. The paper looks at the attitudes of those who favor discounts and other "perks" for officers and those who argue against such privileges. The paper is of the opinion that public monies should be set aside towards paying police officers the salaries they deserve.

From the Paper
"Without question, the acceptance of gratuities by police officers has been a matter of growing concern in recent years - although a case can certainly be made that the specter of police corruption has always been a hot topic for discussion among policy-makers and among the general public. A recent article appearing in the Memphis, Tennessee's, Commercial Appeal, begins by noting an incident wherein a police deputy was offered (and presumably took) a hefty discount after eating at a local Memphis restaurant. The rationale behind the practice of granting gratuities, apparently, is that local businesses, eateries and stores are more than happy to give officers "a little extra" if it means that they will be more likely to patronize a particular establishment with all of the accoutrements (gun, badge and radio) of their trade."

From the Paper
"Human nature being imperfect, corruption will exist in all human endeavors, including the law enforcement branch of government activity. Two elements of ambiguity exacerbate the difficulty of dealing with corruption in law enforcement: the ill-defined role given the police to play in a democratic society, and the contradictory nature of the laws enacted by the citizenry (which includes the public's mixed attitudes toward the law and law enforcement).

This ambiguity can be clarified by examining corruption in law enforcement in terms of levels of culpability. At the introductory, "street cop" level, basic exchanges of extra-legal amenities (free meals, discounts) between public and police straddle grey areas between corruption and common sense."

Abstract
This paper answers four questions, including the qualities that make up a good police officer, the two elements that define the working personality of police officer, a description of the process by which the police working personality is developed and finally, how police should be efficiently measured by society. The paper answers these questions based on research of peer reviewed journal articles and two personal interviews.

From the Paper
"The use of subjective terms such as "good" and "efficiency" invite varied responses depending upon the forum, background and position within the police department. Police officers tend to give different opinions in private to the statements made that will be subject to public scrutiny. The traits that may be important to co-workers may not be important to management. It is this tension between the stated goals of the department and the inner-workings of the day to day on the job stress of the beat cop that form the working personality of the officers. Where the department as a whole may be judged for its success in meeting the public policy goals..."
