Abstract
From the beginning to end there is corrupting force of power in Shakespeare's play, "Hamlet". It begins with Hamlet seeing the ghost of his father who asks him to obtain vengeance for his death. It ends with all the main characters of the play dying. Each act points toward the goal of Hamlet to get vengeance for his father's death even when Hamlet pretends to be mentally ill. The character of Hamlet is one of strength and perseverance that is determined to obtain his goals regardless of whom may be hurt in the process. Each act in the play shows how the corrupting force of power leads to the final end as Claudius dies.

Abstract
This paper studies Shakespeare's play "Hamlet". The paper focuses on the theme of corruption and how the desire for power ruins the lives of all concerned. The paper evaluates each of the play's major characters, beginning with Polonius, the most obviously corrupt character and including Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia and Laertes. The paper concludes with the author's assessment that the central theme of "Hamlet" is not indecision -- as some maintain -- but the way in which power corrupts and kills.
From the Paper
"Polonius may be the most obviously corrupt character, but the center of evil of the play's plot and of the kingdom is Claudius. When Marcellus states, 'Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.' [Act I, Sc. iv, 90], it could be interpreted that he is speaking of a threat of war, but when looked at as symbolic, nothing could better sum up Claudius' corrupting effect on the kingdom which is brought on by his unpunished crime. His evil deeds carry him to the throne and pollute the people around him causing chaos, sorrow and death" (Moriarty 4). There could be no doubt that Claudius is what today we would call "power mad." There is no real explanation why he murdered his brother. Did he feel cheated at not being offered the throne in the first place? It is doubtful that he was so in love with Gertrude that this caused the murder. No, it is simply that Claudius wanted to rule. He wanted the power, and his brother- who one feels was far too benevolent a ruler- stood in the way."

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of excessive force used by police officers, a constant concern of the worldwide community, government, political entities and police officers for decades. The alternative to excessive force that the paper presents is intermediate force, which allows officers to capture suspects with the least amount of injury when force is required and ensure their own safety as well. The paper concludes that training and monitoring of law enforcement officers in the intermediate use of force, weaponry, and tactics will provide all police departments with more positive outcomes and ensure that the safety and protection of the society is achieved successfully. The paper includes detailed tables showing examples of force used and charts of assailant/officer action, mapping out the legitimate amount of force to be used.
From the Paper
"In 2002 the city of Detriot, Michigan underwent an investigation regarding police use of force and found that no definitions of force or the procedures that specified types of force were found in the city regulations ("Investigation", 2002, sec. 1). This led to multiple cases of excessive force that were reported to the city, civil rights organizations and the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan. In addressing these concerns, the city attorney advised that the police department of Detroit develop stages of force that were applied to different situations, with intermediate force being a vital inclusion in those stages ("Investigations", 2002, sec. 1). The city attorney stated that intermediate force was significant because it allowed police to use chemical sprays and weapons other than guns as a means of maintaining peace and ensuring that arrests were made."

Abstract
The work force in America is rapidly aging. This rapidly aging work force creates challengers for organizations that must manage an aging work force. This paper explores the challenges of managing an aging work force within any given organization. It focuses on the fact that many older Baby Boomers are retiring, while others are choosing to work well passed the retirement age. Managers must devise ways to manage such a work force. Employers must understand the challenges that may arise, as an aging work force becomes part of the fabric of the organization. If employers do not attempt to understand and implement solutions for managing an aging work force, their organizations will suffer greatly. The paper begins by explaining why the aging work force is such an issue in the current work force.
From the Paper
"The organization that we will focus on during the course of this discussion is the federal government. Many employed by the federal government will either reach retirement age or be eligible for retirement. These retirements will create a huge disparity within the federal government and will bring into question how an aging workforce should be managed. As we all know, changes in technology and communications have created varying skill sets amongst the generations. For instance, many baby boomers came into the workforce when mainframe computers were the newest technology. On the other hand, today?s generation is configuring wireless networks that can be accessed anywhere at any time. On the other hand, the aging segment of the workforce also has valuable work experience that cannot easily be replaced. They also possess managerial and leadership skills that the younger generation has not yet acquired. For this reason, many employers both federal and private have been attempting to keep and recruit retired persons or those close to retirement."

Abstract
This essay reviews James Skolnick's and James Fyfe's "Above the Law: Police and the Excessive Use of Force". It discusses the authors' examination of police excessive force and police brutality. In their view, the answer to this problem lies in better accountability. The paper adds a sociological perspective, arguing that police excessive force is related to the phenomenon of social control. The existence of prisons, for instance, necessitate police excessive force, since social elites have a need to criminalize a certain portion of the population.

Abstract
This paper asserts that police training on deadly force is a necessary prerequisite for social order and to maintain the efficiency and integrity of the security forces. This paper discusses the necessary components of police training on deadly force, how it can benefit society, and whether police training is an organizational or social issue. The paper also presents a comprehensive model of police training on deadly force based on the best practices presented by the literature. It is clear that there are many issues surrounding training for the police force in relation to deadly force; however this paper shows that it is a necessary facet of the overall humanitarian and peace-keeping initiative and should not be viewed as an extra process aimed at increasing bureaucracy. Lastly, this paper highlights the major elements of the training program that are necessary, while simultaneously highlighting aspects of the political, social, and economic environment that either pose an opportunity or threat to the proposed training initiative on deadly force.
Outline:
Introduction
Major Elements of Police Training
Principles of an Effective Training Strategy
Internal And External Factors That Affect Police Training On Deadly Force - A Critical Analysis
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
Police Training On Deadly Force: Terrorism, Crime Fighting, And Violence
State Sponsored Terrorism: Players and Operations
Literature Structure
Methodology
From the Paper
"State sponsored terrorism is two-tiered, many developed countries like the United States and United Kingdom, practice it for strategic reasons, that is, there is no religious affiliation, nor is there a general notion, that there is a need to have war in with certain states. However, there is a clear economic need, which then transfers into a need to have political allegiance with these states; hence without being physically present it is necessary to have alliances with groups that can promote the interests of the United States. Is this wrong? Should it even be called terrorism, or is it just a company take-over, where the country in question is the state? For example in the 1980's the United States was convicted of unlawful force due to their support of terrorist force in Nicaragua, this was a clear cut case of state sponsored terrorism, and highlights the dynamics of how intricate it can be."

Deadly Force and the Law Enforcement Agents, 2002.
This paper examines the use of deadly force by law enforcement agents and concludes that law enforcement?s recourse to deadly force where necessary should not be significantly reduced.

Abstract
This paper evaluates both sides of the issue about the use of deadly force by law enforcement agents by using a formal logic format of two premises and a conclusion. This paper states that suing every cop who uses deadly force or disarming law enforcement altogether is not the answer to problems that attend the use of deadly force. The author concludes that there is compelling evidence that law enforcement organizations have been conscientious in recent years about developing an ethos of public protection and service and firearm safety. Annotated Bibliography.
From the Paper
"Such attitudes and trends help explain why police personnel are increasingly at risk. Police are put in the position of continually second-guessing themselves in the matter of use of deadly force. This means that law-enforcement effectiveness can suffer, which can further erode public safety and make respect for the law an irrelevant social proposition."

Police Corruption, 2004.
A discussion of the continuing problem of corruption in the police force.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the issues concerning police corruption, usually viewed as the misuse of authority by a police officer acting officially to fulfill personal needs or wants. It looks at how the police these days are committing illegal acts that range from drugs to stealing money and how the majority of the police corruption is external corruption, which involves the public. It shows how the police agency should be the main source of controlling its own corruption problem and how it also requires some support and assistance from the local community.
From the Paper
"Some people in smaller cities think that corruption is gradually decreasing, but they do not see where the majority of the corruption is happening: big cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., etc. For instance, New York has had more than half a dozen major scandals concerning its police department over the past few decades. It was the Knapp Commission in 1972 that first brought attention to the NYPD when they released the results of over 2 years of investigations of alleged corruption. The findings were that bribery, especially among narcotics officers, was extremely high. As a result many officers were prosecuted and many more lost their jobs."

Abstract
The paper explores the role of race in police use of force. The paper explains what is necessary force vs. excessive force and discusses the conditions under which excessive force is permissible. The paper also discusses police attitudes toward African Americans and other minorities.
From the Paper
"Few people would argue about the statement that police officers have a tough job. Law enforcement officers must deal with some of the worst problems in our society. Police also have a significant amount of discretion and power which some abuse. Critics of police abuse suggest that one of the most effective tools for dealing with police abuse of power is the existence of an independent watchdog agency empowered to handle citizen complaints and armed with enough power to publish its findings and enforce its recommendations."

"Relationship Between the Frequency of Police Use of Force and The Racial/Ethnic Background of the Recipient of Such Force: A Research Proposal
Introduction
Charges and countercharges related to police brutality and to the use of force generally by police are not new either in the United States generally or in the City of New York particularly. Such charges and countercharges almost always are associated in some way with the race or ethnic background of the victim of police brutality or the recipient of the police use of force. While such charges and countercharges are not new, however, they have been raised to new heights by two relatively recent incidents in the City of New York involving the brutalization of Abner Louima, an immigrant of Sub-Saharan..."

Police Use of Force, 1995.

From the Paper
"This research examines the following question: Can the exercise of police discretion in the use of force be reformed or controlled? The thesis of this examination is that the use of force by police in the discharge of their duties can both be reformed and controlled without compromising the capacity of the police to maintain public safety and enforce the law.
Violence in the United States has reached epidemic proportions. Violence is most typically an outgrowth of conflict when peaceful dispute mechanisms fail. The use of force by police frequently occurs in situations that are characterized by violence prior to the arrival of police. Crime, particularly violent crime, has been a major concern of the American population for decades. The demands placed upon police office ... "

Police Use of Force, 2002.
A discussion of where the limits lie for police use of force to be considered excessive.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the use of force by police officers is a serious issue both for the police and for the community they serve and protect. It looks at how the Constitution?s Fourth Amendment protects us from excessive force during an arrest, but since our police officers often have to deal with suspects willing to go to great lengths, including using deadly force, to evade arrest, it is inevitable that police will have to use force. It analyzes how it may be considered a balancing act: police are entitled to handcuff suspects to maintain control even if the person is later cleared. It looks at how the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1989 that use of force is central to law enforcement.
From the Paper
"The police have to walk a fine line, particularly in communities where excessive force or even police brutality have been an issue in the past. Particularly in sensitive communities, the perception of excessive force can be enough to trigger public outcries and demonstrations even when it is ultimately shown that the police officers acted with restraint given the circumstances they faced at the time. The Department of Justice has prepared a booklet for use by community police departments titled Police Use of Excessive Force: A conciliation Handbook for the Police and the Community. They make the point that communities must believe that justice will prevail if they are to have confidence in their police force (DOJ, 2002)."

Force and Brutality, 2004.
A discussion of the ethical use of police force and brutality.
1,465 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the use of force and brutality are on the minds of every police officer and police administrator every day and how both have to think about whether it is ethical to apply the amount of force necessary without it becoming police brutality. It explores how the law enforcement community has been challenged to formulate innovative systems and procedures to help guide an agency to accomplish its mission with minimal use-of-force and misconduct incidents. It discusses how implementation of proactive measures to identify and control these incidents will help chief executives to tactfully and diplomatically handle controversial uses of force as they occur.
From the Paper
"More and more cases are arising saying police used excessive force in their arrests. There is a definite need for use of force in law enforcement. However there is also a line where the use of force becomes excessive. From the position of a law enforcement officer, there are situations that become very hostile and dangerous. The officers are obligated to get those situations under control as fast as possible without bringing any harm to themselves, innocent bystanders or the arrestee. The absence of the use of force in any arrest is very limited. Without the use of force there would be some situations that could not be handled correctly and someone?s life may be in danger."
