From the Paper
"The final key players in the scenario are the medical staff that handles the prison health care needs outside of the prison. They have to be sure they are safe, that their non prison patients are safe and that the atmosphere of the office or medical center is not compromised by their willingness or mandate to take care of inmate health needs.
This presents the Director with a unique challenge. He must provide the health care services, while maintaining public safety, while discouraging politicians from using the issues as a political platform while at the same time maintaining the integrity of the performance of the correctional officer staff members who must transport and provide services in spite of their reported resentment. In addition he must be careful that the medical personnel waiting at the other end feel safe while performing their duties to the prisoners."

Principles of Policing, 2007.
This paper discusses Sir Robert Peel's nine principles of policing.

Abstract
The paper explains how Sir Robert Peel ushered in modern policing by establishing an ethical system for the police. The paper explains that while there have been significant changes in police work since Peel's time, his principles remain the foundation for modern police ethical systems. The paper identifies the nine principles, which include the primary function of police, public approval of police actions, the public in voluntary observance of the law and how physical force lessens public co-operation. The principles also discuss impartial service to the law, inappropriate use of physical force, how police are not separate from the public but part of the public, separation of the police and judiciary and finally, the test of police efficiency. The paper concludes that these principles continue to guide the actions of modern law enforcement agencies.
From the Paper
"Peel's first principle states: "the basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder." (New Westminster Police Service, 2006). The primary function of police today continues to be the prevention of crime. The successful resolution of unsolved crimes can aid in crime prevention, because most crimes are committed by recidivists. Therefore, the fact that modern police spend much of their time solving crimes does not detract from the fact that the basic mission of the police is crime prevention."

"As digital data is easily destroyed, the main concern is to safeguard the integrity of evidence. Simply turning on a computer could cause irreparable harm as particular files have a date/time stamp that updates when the system boots up. The date/time he user last turned on the computer, a potentially, vital bit of information could be lost. (Ibid) Universal training to counter practices that could destroy evidence would help insure that evidence police officers and crime scene investigators collect will make it to court."

"It has been said time and again that the personal computer and the Internet brought wonderful technologies at the touch of a button. The convenience of e-mails, e-commerce and Google searches gave everyone access to "anything and everything" and the freedom of getting information "anytime and anywhere." The drawback though is the prevalence of malicious codes and mischievous deeds propagated by those seeking "fame and glory" and worst, trying to gain financially despite the illicit acts committed.
Malicious codes such as viruses, Trojan horses, logic bombs, worms, etc. inundated the Internet since inception. Then came the hackers, whackers and spammers who made surfing the Net difficult by threatening the online services."

Police Crime and Corruption, 2007.
An examination of police crime and corruption and the motivation behind these crimes.
1,444 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines how most researchers suggest police crime is a result of the increasing influence of a market society and the privatization of law enforcement practices. The paper explores how police officers are tasked with the delicate role of balancing their law enforcement efforts without breaking the law, despite huge temptation. The paper discusses the personalities of corrupt policemen, and how their actions affect citizens. The paper demonstrates how crime and corruption are carried out, and the motives behind these crimes.
From the Paper
"Part of the blame according to some is local law enforcement and state enforcement agencies sensationalizing crimes and "manufacturing" crime waves, including manufacturing the severity of particular crimes to scare up public interest, like gang related crimes or car jackings (Chambliss, 2001; 1988; Williams & Dickinson, 1993). Police agency distortion of crime at the local and state level is one example of corruption equally serious to actual corruption, because it breeds fear and suspicion and contributes to problems including overcrowding, anger and hostility (Chambliss, 2001; 1988). Police are working more to promote fear than a sense of security among residents especially in at risk neighborhoods, where white community's are often provided the perception that minority individuals present a danger to society (Williams & Dickinson, 1993)."

Death Penalty, 2007.
An argument on the effectiveness of the death penalty in preventing certain criminal acts.
1,428 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 47.95
»

Abstract
This paper argues that capital punishment cannot be equaled to murder or considered unjust and that as an effective method of instilling the fear of committing crimes, capital punishment may be awarded against the worst and barbarous criminals acts. It further argues that in the interest of the greater well being of society it is permissible to award the death penalty in such situations.

Introduction
Capital Punishment
Utilitarian and Deontological Perspectives
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even on moral grounds capital punishment stands justified in many situations. Abolitionists may argue that killing is unjustified under any circumstance. If that is the case even killing for self defense is morally unacceptable and this would necessitate punishment for those who kill for self defense. Just as an individual has his rights to protect himself for self defense society also has the right to capital punishment to protect itself as a collective body. Further, the murderer has willingly deferred his rights to freedom and protection by breaching the societal norms and taking away the life of others and must thus face justice. The only serious argument against capital punishment is that it is irreversible and the possibility of the innocent being victimized. This is affirmed by the fact that there were more than 120 innocent victims released after being awarded capital punishment since 1977. [DPIC]. In future however these wrongful executions won't be a problem of concern as DNA tests and other advancements in forensic science would eliminate the possibility of error."

Reducing Crime Rates, 2007.
This paper explores the social roots of deviant behavior and the effective strategies in reducing crime.
757 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses deviant behavior that violates a society's formal norms or laws, constituting criminal behavior. The paper examines the deterrent effect of capital punishment and maintains that it is at best debatable. The paper highlights how capital punishment and increased law enforcement are reactive responses that only address the symptoms of crime. In contrast, a conflict-based approach seeks to address the social inequities that often contribute to criminal behavior in the first place. The paper contends that maintaining the decline in crime calls for these long-term and forward-thinking strategies. The paper stresses that authorities need to address the major causes, including the lack of role models, weakened social institutions and the systemic racism that make it difficult for many to be socially mobile.
From the Paper
"Functionalist sociologists believe that the concept of deviance helps a society define the limits of acceptable behavior. If there were no formal laws, people could engage in behavior such as stealing in order to get what they want and need. These behaviors would undermine social ties and make it difficult for society to function. For functionalists, social programs punish those who have engaged in criminally deviant behavior would serve as a social deterrent. When criminals are punished, the other members of society are motivated to obey the laws."

Roles of Police Chief, 2007.
This paper explores the many roles of the Chief of Police.
750 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that in addition to there being differences between the ways in which the position of Chief of Police is handled from one jurisdiction to the next, and between cities and county areas, there are also consistent differences between the functional role of the Chief of Police in a "big city" versus a "small town." The writer points out for example, that in a small town, the Chief of Police may be the only real police officer. In this case, a paid Chief of Police would have a staff of volunteers to help with paperwork and other duties. The writer notes that in contrast, in a big city, the Chief of Police is the boss of many thousands of sworn police officers that serve on the force, as well as thousands of other paid civil employees that work for the police department. In this paper the writer looks at the various roles of the Chief of Police.
From the Paper
"According to Javert Wilkinson, a police officer that has served in both a Northern city and a Southern small town, there are very notable differences between the job roles of a Chief of Police in each environment. In a small town, the Chief of Police is like the captain of a larger police department, and he directly supervises the officers that are actually going out on the street. In a small town, the Chief of Police is also likely in charge of administrative decisions, such as what kinds of cars and guns to buy and in what quantity. The small town Chief of Police often also has to secure funding from the local government to run the police force. He would also probably have field supervisors report to him, but he would not spend much time out of the office or on the street, unless it was a very small town in which there very few or no other police officers. However, in a big city, the Chief of Police is more a politician than a street cop."

Police and Society, 2007.
This paper explores policing in America today and the challenges American police officers face in the future.
2,020 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that understanding the history of policing helps make sense out of modern police departments' policing. The paper looks at administration, patrols as well as challenges officers and administrators face in the future, including implementing community-oriented policing. The paper discusses the public perception of modern police departments and what can be done to improve this perception. The paper concludes that it must change to meet the changing needs of society and citizens. Modern police officers face many more challenges than their early counterparts did; terrorism, violent crimes, and drugs take up much of the police officer's attention. The paper concludes that remaining adaptable and open to change are probably two of the best essentials a police officer can possess.
From the Paper
"Policing in America has become increasingly complex as rural areas merge into large cities, and large cities expand their scope and influence. Funding for most police departments in America falls short of public need, and police officers face challenges and dangers on the streets - and off them as well. Policing in America is ever evolving, as the history of policing shows. Only one thing is absolutely certain. Policing will change and grow as America continues to grow and evolve."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to chalk (2005) Agroterrorism is defined as "the deliberate introduction of a disease agent, either against livestock or into the food chain, for purposes of undermining socioeconomic stability and/or generating fear. Depending on the disease agent and pathogenic vector chosen, Agroterrorism is a tactic that can be used either to cause mass socioeconomic disruption or as a form of direct human aggression (Chalk 2004, vi)." Kohnen (2000) asserts that threat of an agroterrorist event could be contingent upon the following three factors: (1) a terrorist or terrorist group must posses the technical ability to get hold of and deploy the weapon (Kohnen 2000). (2) the terrorist or terrorist group must be attracted to sickening or killing animals or crops as a part of its goal (Kohnen 2000). (3) the terrorist or terrorist group must have the desire to carry out their goal through the use of a Biological Weapon (Kohnen 2000)."

Durkheim and Merton's Criminology, 2007.
This paper looks at Emile Durkheim's and Robert Merton's theories of society and anomie.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that both Robert Merton and Emile Durkheim regarded the concept of anomie as a central aspect of modern societies. The writer points out ,that in their view, anomie is a theoretical aspect which affects the rates and incidence of social deviance and criminal behavior in modern society. There are, however, differences between the two theorists. The writer notes that Durkheim sees anomie as arising mainly from radical changes in society; whereas Merton sees this situation arising from class and social stratification issues. This paper outlines these two theoretical stances in order to ascertain the degree to which these two theories see society and not the individual per se, as being the cause of criminal activities.
Outline:
Introduction
Durkheim and Anomie
Merton and Anomie
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In other words, Durkheim's interpretation of an imbalance in regulation means that the 'appetites' and desires of the individual in the society are unrestrained. In terms of his theory this creates a situation in which there exists a disparity between the objectives that are seen to be attainable and the means available to attain these objectives. There is therefore often a disparity between means and ends and this also creates a tension which allegedly increases criminal patterns. Therefore we could say that Durkheim saw that causes of crime as deriving from both personal and social causes, but mainly as a result of social and cultural forces and variables."

Stress and Law Enforcement, 2007.
This paper discusses the importance and strategies of stress management in law enforcement.
2,427 words (approx. 9.7 pages), 14 sources, MLA, $ 74.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that too much stress or prolonged stress can be debilitating and certain kinds of stress are more pronounced for law enforcement officers. The paper relates that significant stressors are events in which children are involved, coping with death, being threatened with a weapon and mostly, the death of a fellow police officer. The paper discusses how police officers not only experience greater levels of stress, but they often haven't learned to cope with it effectively. The paper concludes that police officers can learn to cope more effectively with the stressful challenges of their careers and they can benefit from therapy when stress gets overwhelming, but law enforcement agencies can do their part by removing unnecessary stressors.
From the Paper
"Police officers report a higher incidence of stress-related illnesses and complaints such as headaches, ulcers, skin rashes, gastrointestinal disorders, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease (Albert, 1982; Alkus & Padesky, 1983). Severe nervous conditions and emotional disturbances leading to suicide are found at higher levels than for other occupations (Burke, 1993). Younger officers seem to suffer greater impairment than older and more experienced officers, the first year on the job being the worst."

Rape Myths, 2007.
This paper examines the issue of rape and argues against the myths that place the responsibility for such violence on the victim.
1,069 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that the act of rape is one of the most violent and demeaning crimes in society. Further, the writer notes that rape is more associated with aggression and domination than it is with sex. The writer explains that not only does this act cause physical harm but it is also emotionally and psychologically damaging to the victim. In this paper, the writer discusses that in spite of the suffering of rape victims, the myth is often propagated in society that women initiate rape either by being alluring or tacitly leading the male on. The writer concludes that it should be remembered that rape is a crime and a social act that has enormous consequences for the victim.
From the Paper
"However, mythical attitudes and stereotypes have an extremely negative effect, not directly only on the women who is a victim of rape but also in terms of the reportage and combating of this crime; as well as on the subsequent arrest rates. Due to this myth that women often invite rape, many women feel that they are somehow to blame if they are raped. This has been given as a central reason why many women do not report being raped to the authorities. The myths therefore tend to distort the victims sense of psychological balance and viewpoint and point to the possibility that she may have in some way led the rapist on or encouraged him. These women therefore internalize the dominant social rape myths that are promulgated in the society and culture so that they become a measure of 'reality'."

White-Collar Crimes, 2007.
This paper discusses the movie "Wall Street" which portrays classic cases of business crimes and greed.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that the term white-collar crime generally encompasses a variety of nonviolent crimes usually committed in commercial situations for financial gain. The paper then discusses the movie "Wall Street", pointing out that it depicted at least five types of white-collar crimes: bribery, insider training, kickback, money laundering and securities fraud. The paper further explains that the fundamental lesson learned in "Wall Street" is that crime does not pay. Sooner or later it will catch up with anyone doing the deed. The paper shows how the portrayal of good people and bad people in "Wall Street" is a resolute example of the battle between good and evil ongoing in society since time immemorial.
From the Paper
"Wall Street portrayed classic cases of white-collar crimes, "coined in 1939 during a speech given by Edwin Sutherland to the American Sociological Society. Sutherland defined the term as 'crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation.' Although there has been some debate as to what qualifies as a white-collar crime, the term today generally encompasses a variety of nonviolent crimes usually committed in commercial situations for financial gain.

Kip Kinkle, 2007.
An analysis of the actions of Kip Kinkle, as viewed by criminologist Travis Hirschi.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the actions of Kip Kinkle, the fifteen year old Springfield, Illinois high school student who killed his mother and father with a shotgun and then went to school and opened fire upon his classmates, killing two students in cold blood, and injuring twenty five innocent bystanders. The paper discusses the events as viewed through criminologist Travis Hirschi's social bond theory.
From the Paper
"According to Travis Hirschi, every social network holds the individual within its fabric with four types of social bonds. These promote positive and negative opportunities for socialization and positive and negative ways to feel that one is connected to, or conforms to a norm. Hirschi did not see conformity as essentially bad, because he believed that a certain sense of conformity was necessary for appropriate socialization of adolescents. Conformity was necessary to feel that one had a future within one's society, and a social investment in playing by the rules of society and respecting the rights of others."
