Abstract
The paper explains that proactive or community policing actively involves citizens in preventing or solving crimes through non-punitive or adversarial procedures. The paper describes the change in the US criminal system when its focus broadened from the traditional punishment of past crimes to prevention of future crimes by imprisonment and control of dangerous offenders. The paper notes the successes of community proactive policing that continues to gather support from the public and the private sectors.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Americans pride themselves of their Manifest Destiny as a superior race and their individual freedom and rights. But crime rates in the midst of the practice of freedom continue to increase. Professor Friedman of the University of Stanford identified cultural taboos, supporting this demand for individual freedom and rights. as ultimately behind the unrestrained rise in crime rates. The existing criminal justice system is adversarial and punitive. Its crime prevention and control mainly deal with suppression. Because of its failure to curtail crime, preventive detention was tried. Nonetheless, crime rates continued to increase till the late 70s. President Johnson offered the notion that the root causes of crime were racism, poverty and social injustice. He provided funds for the State and the local governments in an effort at curbing these root causes. Congress also responded and signed bills to support President Johnson's initiative."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses various statistics relating to criminal activity. The paper then goes on to discuss studies which show that property crime can also be prevented by manipulating the design of the separate properties and their relationship to each other and the surrounding neighborhood. This process is called crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). According to the paper, the overall impact of CPTED by itself continues to be controversial. Specialists are more prone to accepting the fact that it is one of many measures that, taken together, can prevent or reduce crime.
From the Paper
"NIJ does say that these cases "suggest" that place-based crime prevention approaches that are designed to meet the needs of certain neighborhoods do indeed reduce crime, although they are not "prove" this is the result. "In practice, it would be as difficult as untangling a spider web to evaluate the effectiveness of specific place-based crime prevention measures applied to these residential areas" (Cozens, 2005, p. 328). Also, although crime data back the thesis that place-based applications work, "the physical, management and community organizational interventions in these cases are woven together in complex ways that defy individual analysis" (Cozens, 2005, p. 328)."

Abstract
This paper explores the police in their role of crime prevention. It explains how effective the police are in their efforts to prevent crime and gives reasons for their shortcomings. Additionally, other roles of the police are discussed and it explores whether these roles conflict with crime prevention.
From the Paper
"One of the main roles of the police is to prevent crime. The police, however, can not prevent all crime from occurring. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the police in their role of crime prevention is debatable. Throughout this paper I will explore the question of to what degree the police can prevent crime and whether this is a realistic expectation. Additionally, I will discuss authors which support my arguments as well as whether the police's role of crime prevention conflicts with other roles that the police have. Although the police are charged with the duty of crime prevention, this is often not an easy role for the police to fulfill. It is pointed out in Topic #2 - Crime Prevention Role, "the police-citizen crisis of the 1960s brought to light the inadequacy and inability of the police to fulfill their role in crime prevention."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of programs that are aimed at reducing crime by using early childhood crime prevention programs. The paper reviews one of the most significant studies in recent history, the "Perry Study out of Ypsilanti, MI." According to the paper, this research exposed the very real and tangible benefits of early childhood education for poverty stricken students as an element to prevent them from becoming criminals as they got older. The paper further reports how this study proved to be the catalyst for the nationwide Head Start program and is still referred to today to obtain government funding for preschool programs.
Outline:
Introduction
The Study
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There have been three major studies undertaken to test this theory with the "grandfather" of those studies being the High/Scope Perry Preschool Project. The study drew participants from African American children residing in Ypsilanti, Michigan whose parents had applied to have their children included in attendance of a program. The participants were placed into two groups, those children who would attend and those who would not attend. Random assignment and the effort to not let teachers of later schools know which of their students were in the program and out of those which had attended and which had not attended the preschool helped to protect the purity and validity of the study(Stellar, 2003).

From the Paper
"I am very thankful to you for giving me opportunities to share my views with you at this occasion. I will like to discuss the issue of causes of crime, which has been a debatable issue among the social scientists and criminologists.

In addition to this, I will also discuss as to what other researchers and experts have found."

Abstract
To understand the applications of problem orientated policing, the approach is described, giving an example of how the approach has been successfully used. Critical evaluation of the approach is then completed, drawing on various reports and a successful case study. This is followed by a summary of how the strategy reduces crime. Finally, considerations for implementing the strategy are presented.
From the Paper
"Problem orientated policing is a new approach to policing that is becoming increasingly popular. The major benefit of the approach is that it is proactive rather than reactive, which in the long term allows for a much better use of police resources.
"While there are various applications of the approach, one of the most common applies the approach to high crime areas, also known as ?hot spots.? This approach is designed to eliminate the causes of the problem in the ?hot spot.? This can be compared with the standard policing strategy, which would have police constantly responding to crime in the ?hot spot.? "

From the Paper
"Police have increasingly been called into the public educational setting to insure the safety of high school campuses. Many school districts have their own police departments, or "school police," who head security departments on campus. Their credibility as police officers helps to insure a safe environment in which learning can take place. Drugs, weapons, on-campus brawls, and traffic problems are less likely when students see that the full force of the law is at hand. Background information on school police in some communities will provide an introduction to what many believe is the best solution to crime in today's high schools. At the same time, however, issues of search/seizure, random drug testing, locker searches, and strip searching have been brought to the forefront by the advent of tightened security measures and an increase in crime.

Abstract
The paper reviews the article, summarizing its main points, such as the fact that the said act would be ineffective to the California Justice System, would further worsen the juvenile youth?s condition, and benefit only California Governor Wilson and his backers on the said proposition. It then goes on to explore the flaws of the article, giving 3 main reasons why its arguments are not sound.
From the Paper
"The article ?Money + Politics = Jailed Kids,? written by Vince Beiser and Karla Solheim for Mother Jones Magazine is an article that talks about Proposition 21, or the Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act. This act was controversial because of the effects that the proposal might have on the California justice system once it is approved. Proposition 21, the authors, explain, ?would require kids as young as 14 to be tried on adult court for crimes such as murder or serious sex offense, give prosecutors expanded powers? and sentence anyone 16 or older convicted in adult court to adult prison.? Beiser and Solhem also gives a brief background on the Proposition?s origins, stating that former California governor Pete Wilson was the one who conceived the idea of the said proposed act, ?backed by? criminal justice and victims? rights groups,? as well as law-enforcement officials. The article then proceeded to the main issue--- that the said act would be ineffective to the California justice system, will further worsen the juvenile youth?s condition, and benefit only Wilson and his backers on the said proposition. All throughout the article, the authors gave their reasons for their denouncement of Proposal 21, which provided the readers several statements from organized youth activist groups, law enforcement officers, and the Catholic church."

Abstract
This paper examines the inner workings of police departments in America as well as the lack of resources available to effectively prevent and reduce criminal activity. This paper cites several major problems that impact on a police officer's ability to function effectively, including the practice of regularly asking officer to deal with social situations that are chaotic and confused. Police officers often find themselves in the middle of domestic disputes between spouses and partners, landlords and tenants, proprietors and customers and countless others. This paper also discusses the feasibility of hiring additional officers, while the author of this paper cites research studies that clearly conclude that increased police will not decrease crime and that other alternatives must be sought. This paper discusses the recent practice of local governments that hire private firms for a wide array of traditional police functions. This paper also examines the matter of private citizens who have taken it upon themselves to provide their own protection.
From the Paper
"A major problem is that police officers are regularly asked to resolve social situations that are chaotic and confused. They find themselves in the middle of disputes between spouses and partners, landlords and tenants, proprietors and customers, and countless others, and are subjected to loud and complicated claims and counterclaims. When they are faced with these situations, police must act quickly, decisively, and, hopefully, fairly. In most cases, officers have other calls pending and cannot afford to attempt to understand the innards of the dispute, even if they were inclined or skilled enough to do so. If the parties' stories differ, as they often do, then officers must make instant decisions about whose character is more worthy of respect, and thus which version to treat most seriously. Thus, "(t)he mission of the police is limited to imposing provisional solutions to uncontexted emergencies."

Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of cybercrime and its effects on society. It begins by defining computer crime as illegal activity which uses computers as a means to an end. It then looks at motives for computer security violation and how software is at great risk from this form of crime, through worms and virus spread by malice. The paper then looks at various options available to guard against software threats, such as firewalls and other security techniques. The writer also addresses ethical considerations which need to be taken into account as well as issues of privacy. The paper concludes with a discussion about the future of this problem.
From the Paper
"From personal computers in the home used to track checking accounts and keep household inventories in databases to large supercomputers that control space missions and run the world's largest companies, computers have become commonplace. The number of individuals who have access to the information on those computers has increased as the communications industry has undergone a revolution in recent years, and uncontrolled access to information presents a very real threat in most business and some government information. Because of the highly significant role that computers play in modern life, there is a need to keep information on machines secure from tampering, from unauthorized dissemination, and from unauthorized removal.

Organized Crime, Hate Crime, and Ritualistic Crimes, 2006.
A paper examining police responsibility in investigating hate crimes, organized crime, and ritualistic crimes.
1,767 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 19 sources, APA, $ 56.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Organized Crime
Hate Crime
Ritual Crimes
Law Enforcement Perspective
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."

Crime Control, 2007.
An analysis of CompStat, a police crime-tracking and management tool.
1,390 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the belief of criminologists that police don't really play an important role in crime prevention; rather crime is a sociological and cultural problem that needs to be solved. The paper examines the CompStat system where cities and their police departments are afforded a better chance to handle crime and criminals. This system works on the principle that by controlling serious crime, police are better poised to maintain order and solve other community problems in the promotion of public safety. The paper relates that the CompStat management process has indeed helped police stay up to date on any recent crime changes that have taken place.
From the Paper
"The CompStat management process has indeed helped police stay up to date on any crime changes that have taken place in neighborhoods within the recent past - crimes of all major types. CompStat, a crime-tracking and management tool, has helped to "increase accountability within the department, with a view to more effective crime reduction" according to a report by the Worchester Regional Research Bureau (WRRB) (2003). One primary reason for CompStat's success, according the Worchester report, is that was adopted from "tried and true management and organizational methods used by corporations.""

Natural Crime vs. Legal Crime, 2007.
This paper compares and contrasts the concepts of "natural crime" and "legal crime", using each of the crime classifications on the FBI's crime index.

Abstract
The paper examines the seven classifications of crime listed in the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. The paper determines which crimes might be considered "mala in se", crimes that are inherently dangerous or "mala prohibita", crimes not inherently wrong, but are considered criminal because their prohibition is necessary to regulate the general welfare. The paper asserts that the crimes in which human life is lost, in threat of being lost or violated in any way, should be considered "mala in se." The paper posits that crimes in which property or belongings are lost or taking away, should be considered "mala prohibita" because property is less valuable than human life.
From the Paper
"Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, as defined in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, is the willful (nonnegligent) killing of one human being by another. (www.fbi.gov) There are some homicides that are reduced to a lesser crime because there was no intent evident in the act. The intent to kill is where the defendant consciously desired to cause death or where the defendant intended to cause great bodily harm. There are other crimes of murder that are justified or excusable. An example of this is if an intruder entered a home with a gun, the occupants could murder the intruder and not be charged with a homicide. The occupants could argue that they were protecting their family from being murdered by the intruder."
