Abstract
This paper gives a cross section on Brooklyn, discussing physical location, population per square mile, household income and racial census. The author explores crime in both Brooklyn and Queens and reasons for its decreasing rates.
From the Paper
"Crime rates in Brooklyn have decreased over the past years. In a period of 10 years from 1993 to 2003 the crime rates in Brooklyn dropped by a huge 63 percent. The total reported incidents were only 44,648 while in 1993 this figure was way above 80,000. A mega change was seen in the motor vehicle theft rates that fell by about 44 percent thus forming only 33 percent of the total crimes committed. Its crime index is approximately 19 crimes per 1000 inhabitants which is much lower that the entire city's crime index being at about 29 crimes. In a study in the year 1998 it was observed that 2 percent of a 15 year old black or African American is likely to get killed before he reaches 45 (U.S. Bureau of the Census). "

"Tragically, there are those who have paid more than prison time for being poor and black in Louisiana. Indeed many have paid the price with their very lives for they had no way to escape the approaching Category 5 hurricane. Many drowned, and it is amazing upon consideration, in the attics of their houses. Forty-five individuals that were hospitals patients at the time died in the hospitals due to what has been stated to be terrible conditions with a vile stench filling the hospital. School buses that should have and could have taken many of the tens of thousands stranded with the hurricane approaching to safety sat flooded out in parking lots. No one dreamed that this could happen in America. Indeed, the U.S. is ever-so-prepared for such things [i.e. for example: terrorists] that this should have never happened. The criminal justice system will now prepare itself to address the results of this tragic natural disaster and should bolster itself for a very long day in court."

The Psychology of the Rapist, 2006.
An overview of the psychological makeup of rapists.
936 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the topic of the psychology of offenders. It incorporates a brief description of the psychodynamics of rape, including anger rape, power rape and sadistic rape. Experts agree rape is not a sexually motivated crime. It is a crime of opportunity, or anger, or power, but the sex act itself usually does not motivate the rape. The paper shows that in fact, many rapists enjoy decent sexual relationships with their wives or partners. Most experts define rape as any sexual act that both parties do not agree upon.
From the Paper
"They may also commit other degrading acts, such as urinating on the victim, or forcing oral or anal sex (Birnbaum & Groth 14). In addition, the rapist does not find sexual gratification in the act, rather they experience a release of their anger, but they may feel disgusted by their sexual actions. These men are often extremely angry with women for some psychological women, and so, they take all their anger on random women ("A Round-Up of Rapists"). These rapists can be especially dangerous, and they must come to grips with their own anger and reaction to it to come to grips with their violent natures."

Abstract
This paper explains that time management issues are an extremely important part of managing stress levels in the field of law enforcement. The paper further explains that effective time management techniques on the management level can serve to manage stress levels while simultaneously raise the effectiveness of crime fighting and minimize police errors. The paper also points out the various aspects of time management within policing agencies and suggests several effective time management strategies for implementation.
From the Paper
"Another factor that plays a large role both in time and stress management is the rapid advancement of technology, both in law enforcement and society at large. Law enforcement agencies have been obliged to keep pace with changing technology in order to fight an increasingly sophisticated criminal mind. Furthermore, policing has become much more accessible to the community at large in terms of communication and information. There are both advantages and disadvantages connected with this."

Parole, 2005.
This paper argues that parole is far better for society than extensive imprisonment.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that it is a popular myth that placing criminals in prison keeps the society safe; however, the hard fact is that, overall, prisons benefit neither the society nor the criminal. The author stresses that there is way too little statistical data to believe that prisons deter crime; plus psychologists have proven that a reward given for a behavior, which is desired, has a far greater impact than punishment given for an undesired behavior. The paper concludes that the whole concept of prisons has placated the public with the psychological idea that they are safer with the criminals behind bars; however, prisons spawn rage and hostility within the prisoners.

Introduction
Placing Criminals in Prison Benefits Everyone
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another assumption most famous in the minds of the general public is that prison systems keep us safe from "dangerous" criminals that are confined there. Who exactly is a dangerous person? No one is born dangerous. It is us who label them as to be "dangerous". Labeling someone as "dangerous" means that we find ourselves to be in a position to predict the future of someone else's behavior. There has been no scientifically or otherwise established fact that there exists such an ability to make such a prediction. The people who tend to label others "dangerous" are in error and this error leads to the uncalled for imprisonment of many individuals. However, today authorities use this labeling system to lock up protestors and political militants."

'Ride-Alongs' and Privacy, 2006.
A paper about the privacy issues involved in press presence during police arrests.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins with a case study of the "Wilson vs. Layne" case, a case in which news media agents took photographs of a mistaken arrest in a private house. The paper explains the legal process involved with the case, stating that while there were severe privacy breeches in the case, the court was unable to say that the homeowner, Charles Wilson, had experienced a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights. The paper then discusses the issue of media "ride-alongs," a practice in which police take media agents with them to capture images of arrests and police actions. The paper discusses the role of the press in police work, and points out the privacy violations which are a risk of the practice of "ride-alongs."
From the Paper
"When the appeal was sent to the Supreme Court, the Court granted Charles the 'certiorari'. The case of Wilson vs. Layne gave rise to the question of whether or not when federal and state officials issue an arrest warrant to a citizen, either at his home or elsewhere, can they allow the media to accompany them on their official duty? And would such an arrest warrant, when it is issued at the home of the individual, be considered to be a violation of a homeowner's Fourth Amendment protection as under 'unlawful search and seizure'? In this particular case, the Court held the ruling that if the media were to be present during the execution of an arrest warrant, then it was to be considered that it was in no way at all related to what the officials were doing during their course of work. The media dose in no way assist the officials, and in the same manner, they have nothing whatsoever to do with the execution of the arrest warrant."

Abstract
This paper delves into the similarities and differences in terms of services and treatments offered at the Lehigh County Juvenile Probation Department and the Cook County Juvenile Probation Department. This paper examines the manner in which both programs hold the convicted minors responsible for their actions. This paper discusses each program's style and method for developing and instilling positive life skills in which the minor in question is then able to become a productive member of society. This paper details the mission statement of each program and the manner in which these goals are obtained. The writer contends and explains why the current treatments and programs offered at both facilities need to be altered and improved upon to keep up with the constantly changing face of juvenile crimes in America.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"This juvenile probation department of Cook County, made up of the city of Chicago and its outlying metropolitan areas, is very similar to that of Lehigh County in many ways, especially in relation to aiming for a "balanced and restorative justice" and to hold offenders accountable for their illegal conduct which, it is hoped, will help them "to develop positive life skills to enable them to become productive members of the community." But unlike Lehigh County, Cook County, on its website, provides a mission statement consisting of the aim to recognize the welfare of all children and their families based on public safety; it also is committed to "providing the guidance, structure and services needed by every child under its supervision." Thus, both of these juvenile probation departments have very similar goals, namely, to protect society from repeat offenders while providing equal and fair justice to the offenders, due to their age and, at times, negative social positions."

Undercover Police, 2006.
This paper is a complete research study to evaluate the potential for crime among undercover police personnel.
10,820 words (approx. 43.3 pages), 12 sources, APA, $ 214.95
»

Abstract
This paper explains that the objective of this study is to establish that there is an increased risk of undercover officers crossing the line of legality, whether in the line of duty or otherwise. The author points out that, because of the lack of available empirical data from police sources, this study uses a meta-examination of published data from (1) M. Girodo's study of 271 undercover agents for indications of drug corruption, (2) FBI statistics on corruption cases, (3) Mieczkowski and Lersch's reported results of drug testing of police officers and recruits and (4) Girodo's study of self reported and observer reported dissociated states. The paper reports that the data indicated that undercover police officers are more likely to commit crimes than other police officers because there is a direct relation between drugs and corruption amongst police officers, undercover investigations are highly stressful environments and it is becoming increasingly more likely for an undercover agent to commit a crime in the line of duty.

"The traditional training techniques were strict and included such tactics as sleep deprivation, surprise exercises, social manipulations, eavesdropping, and so on to keep the trainee off-balance and ready for any circumstances, as well as to prepare them for the pressures of maintaining their false identities. These techniques simulate conditions that can cause the trainee to feel "less inhibited, less capable of self-regulation, and foster compliance and cult-type deindividuation." While these methods can achieve the desired result of helping the trainee slip into their new identity, they can also contribute to later health and misconduct problems in the field."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer of this paper distinguishes between two specific types of sexually violent offenders which include the impulsive offender and the ritualistic offender. This paper delves into the main characteristics of the impulsive offenders who exudes control and power over their victims. The writer analyzes the extremely complex psychological and mental factors that must be considered when attempting to understand why certain individuals choose to commit these acts of crime. This paper explores the correlation between aggression, anger and sexual arousal in individuals who are prone to acts of sexual violence. This paper also cites various experts in the fields of psychology and sex related crimes which are relevant to this specific topic.
From the Paper
"A central aspect of the impulsive offender is control and power over the victim. Violence is also often excessive in order to facilitate the level of control that the offender desires. There is however little evidence of paraphilic behavior as this form of behavior is essentially fantasy free.
The article points out through close comparisons that there are marked differences between the impulsive and ritual offender. The most prominent difference is the extreme planning and preparation with regard to the fantasy dimension that characterizes the ritual offender."

Abstract
This well-researched paper opens with a comprehensive and historic look into both the American and British law enforcement agencies. The writer of this paper traces the origins of the British Sheriff's office back to the Norman Conquest which took place in 1066. This paper delves into the significant increase of international terrorism while focusing on the effectiveness of various law enforcement agencies in America and around the world in combating this growing problem. This paper discusses the views and opinions of several historians regarding the increase and decrease of crime and terror from the medieval times and up to the present. The writer of this paper examines specific historic events and their resulting impact on global terrorism including the fall of the Soviet Union, the Cold War and the 9/11 terror attacks. This paper analyzes the manner in which the Bush Administration moved to establish additional intelligence and enforcement cooperation among the existing agencies in order to more effectively face terrorist threats such as al-Qaida. This paper contains detailed and in-depth historical facts and dates relevant to this particular topic. This paper also examines the manner in which recent advancements and progress in technology are assisting law enforcement agencies around the world to thwart off potential threats of terror.
From the Paper
"Various historians have offered various different reasons for the unexpected decrease in the crime rate during the comparatively modern times, and there were some who assumed that perhaps it was industrialization and urbanization and modernization that contributed to this phenomenon. There were some other scholars and researchers who theorized that in actuality crime had not diminished, but had in fact shifted form bodily assaults that were popular in those times, to crimes that were more or less closely related to property, which also indicated that the nature of crime had shifted from an innate scarcity and paucity, to a greater prosperity as well as a free availability of material goods and possessions during modern times. There is also another form of opinion, which states that the decrease in crime seemed to have happened irrespective of industrialization and urbanization."

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of community policing. The author says that for certain types of crime, such as hate crimes, mob-related crimes and ritualistic crimes, police must look at the underlying causes of the crimes rather than just dealing with the perpetrators after the fact. The paper explains why these particular categories differ from other crimes, and why these categories require a different kind of approach from police.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Community policing is a term that is becoming increasingly common in police studies and practice. This is a natural result of the increase in the responsibility of the police in a complex and modern environment. This means that policing has to deal not only with the effects of crime but also with the underlying causes of criminal acts in order to be effective. This is especially the case with regard to forms of crime such as hate and ritual crimes which have sensitive and far-reaching social implications. In this regard the responsibility of the police is being shared with other institutions and the community in order to provide a more adequate and comprehensive solution to contemporary crime issues."

Abstract
This paper explains that increased technology guarantees time-efficiency and improves the mode of action against crime, thus, decreasing the risk to which a police official in the field might otherwise be exposed. The author points out that DNA testing is gathering increased support from lawmakers because there is no longer any reason to question the reliability of DNA evidence. The paper reports that a concealed weapon detector, such as "Millivision", measures the electromagnetic radiation emitted by all objects made out of plastic, metal, liquid or ceramics, analyses it and converts the readings into a visible form thus providing better surveillance capabilities including anti-terror.

"In 1996, the U.S. Justice Department had given the D.C. police a $6 million grant to complete installation of computers in police cruisers and enable officers to process criminals at each of the city's seven police districts. It is seen that police all over the United States is being equipped with more computers in their patrol cars. In 2000, Lisle Police was allocated $85,700 in the budget draft, to be used for squad cars equipped with radar and data computers."

Abstract
It is often said that art imitates life, but the onslaught of televisions shows that deal with crime scene investigation have jurors expecting for life to imitate art. This is described as the CSI Effect named after a popular CBS television series. This paper explores the impact that the CSI effect has had upon jurors and the judicial system and also investigates the impact of the CSI effect on prosecutors. It also explores the some of the positive factors that have come about as a result of the CSI Effect.

Pressure Placed On Labs and Forensic Experts from Jurors Suffering From the CSI Effect
Positive Impact of the CSI Effect
Coping with the CSI Effect
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Although the creator of CSI asserts that the technology and types of forensic evidence shown on the television program are not realistic, there are many who disagree. In fact some experts that have worked on the show and other similar shows have quit because they believe that the shows are detrimental to the judicial system and may influence potential jurors in a negative way (Botluk & Mitchell (2005). In addition, some experts believe that the shows can unknowingly be teaching criminals how to get away with crimes (Botluk & Mitchell (2005). For instance, a criminal may watch the show and learn how crime scene investigators find perpetrators."
