Abstract
This paper explains that North Carolina is one of the states taking advantage of a federal program to bring more highly skilled, highly educated and highly trained officers into local community policing programs; this is particularly appropriate for the attributes of female police officers. The author points out that the recruitment of women and their progress in achieving equal status has slowed, especially at the highest ranks. The paper states that the biggest problem is that, when a department is notified of a woman officer?s pregnancy, she is removed from her position, and often no efforts are made to find her a light-duty position.

From the Paper
"The physical demands of police work are one of the arguments used against recruitment of female officers. In 1997, the Chief of the Hackensack, New Jersey, Police Department spoke out against hiring women, noting their physical size. He said, ?I?m not a big supporter of a 100-pound woman trying to shove a 300-pound guy out of a bar. And in a small town like ours, when we have only one or two guys on the road, you need the extra beef out there? Kelly asked the Chief whether he could do it; the Chief refused to answer. Reluctantly, he said he would go along with hiring female officers if it meant he would get the $355,000 from the feds to hire five new officers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the characteristics of a workplace nutrition and fitness program. It particularly examines the cost/benefit analysis in that gains in workplace productivity, reduction of sick day usage, and reduced benefit costs can be achieved through the implementation of such a program. The paper suggests that the costs of the program, relative to the cost savings achieved, are minimal.
From the Paper
"Introduction Nutrition and fitness programs in the workplace is a recent employee benefit strategy by employers as a way to reduce rising medical costs and lost days of productivity due to employee absences and underperforming work metrics due to illness or injury. Employers have found that they can substantially improve performance as well as overall employee motivation by offering nutrition and fitness programs as part of their comprehensive benefit programs: "motivating individual employees to change health-related behaviors in a health promotion program ...is necessary for ensuring the program's organizational-level success"(Harrison & Liska par.2)."

Introduction
Substance Abusers
From the Paper
"Evaluation of the radical behavioral approach is made through an assessment of how effectively that approach is reducing offenders' criminogenic needs, their level of risk, and the long-term objective of reducing later recidivism (Van Voorhis, et al., 2005). A process evaluation will determine whether clients are learning such information as how to identify high risk situations. Outcome evaluation will determine how the offender has changed in terms of substance abuse and recidivism."

Correctional Education Programs, 2002.
A discussion of the pros and cons of inmate education.

Abstract
This paper examines how some level of education in prisons can aid the inmate's later adjustment to society and evaluates how this is due to the fact that many are uneducated in the first place, hence their criminal past. It looks at how higher learning in prisons is a costly, ineffective and socially unacceptable way of dealing with an improper public higher learning institution. While victims of crime are harmed, offenders are given a chance for education that they may not otherwise receive. It analyzes how education in prisons makes a life of crime profitable to juveniles in two ways, through the bounty of their crime, and second, by being caught and thereby receiving a formal education. It concludes that higher learning programs within the prison institution need to be reevaluated and that the funding for those programs could go to better serve the community to solve the lack of education that is a major cause of crime.
From the Paper
"Probably the largest argument against inmate education is that of the image the programs give to the public. Many individuals involved in the criminal justice system come from low-income, urban communities. Many of these areas are also likely to have fewer resources in terms of educational programs. Because of this, an unequal number of the imprisoned are undereducated (OSI, 1997). However, the solution to this problem should not be to educate this group once they are imprisoned, but should be to improve the educational system of the urban areas. By placing the education system into the prison, the states are essentially reaffirming the public belief that the communities are not able to be educated."

Abstract
How should we as a society respond to criminal activity and wrongdoing? If a crime is committed, what should happen to the offender? Though this debate is old in nature, these questions have become increasingly important to Americans in recent times, especially following the tragic events of September 11, 2001. This paper examines methodologies for measuring the effectiveness of a variety of community-based corrections, including probation, parole and other intermediate sanctions.
From the Paper
"This philosophy strives to strengthen the community by focusing on the strong points of the offender and victim through shaming, mediation, and face-to-face meetings. The idea of restorative justice is to have the offender ?repair? the damage he has done by participating in community service, providing restitution, attending victim impact panels, or other educational programs. Restorative justice began in response to property crimes when it was determined that most victims preferred to be compensated for their losses rather than see their offender incarcerated. Since then, it has grown into a widely used concept that encompasses many crimes and offenses. Therefore, community-based corrections are vital to the success of restorative justice and play a large role in guiding the process."

Competency to Stand Trial in American Law and New York Law, 2000.
A brief look at the notion of competency or fitness to stand trial, as the notion has been shaped and changed since the 1960s.

From the Paper
"The history of the doctrine of competency to stand trial arose in English common law out of a concern for fairness in the trial of accused persons who, if found guilty of criminal charges, would suffer deprivations of liberty and other penalties. One of the earliest United States Supreme Court cases (Dusky v. United States,1960) determined that a defendant's competency to stand trial depended on "whether he has sufficient present ability to consult with his lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding" and "whether he has a rational as well as factual understanding of the proceedings against him"."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper reviews the study "Drug court Interventions and the Role of Physical Fitness programs in Client Treatment Outcomes". The paper explains that the subject study was conducted in the Orange County Drug Court to see if the well accepted benefits of a physical fitness program would have a positive influence on the relapse and recidivism rate that is usually very high among drug offenders. The paper concludes that due to limited participation, the results were inconclusive.
Outline:
Part One - Is This A True Experiment?
Identify the Independent and Dependent Variables
Internal and External Validity
Cross-sectional versus Longitudinal
Identify the Study and Control Groups
Does the Study Meet the Requirements of Randomness?
Will the Study be Generalizable to the Broader Population?
Part Two - Ethical Issues
From the Paper
"The requirements that a true experiment have are three elements, those being two comparison groups, variations in the independent variables before assessment of the dependent variables and random assignment of the groups (Schutt, 2006, p.201). In the assessment of the fitness programs in drug courts, the researcher made a good faith effort to establish the requisite elements to have a true experiment. However his efforts were hampered due to low funding and low participation (Thompson, 2006, p.84). As detailed below, the study did have independent and dependent variables, variations in the independent variables, however the randomness of the participants was lacking due to an extreme lack of participation in the experimental group. Therefore although the experiment was set up with the best of intentions, the actual scientific value of the experiment is questionable because of the weakness of the third element."

"Corrective Thinking sessions are the heart of the program. This section discusses the theoretical basis for the structuring of these sessions within the framework of established psychological theory and practice.
Each session is governed by the following five mandatory specification:
? No display of disrespect from or toward anyone.
? A clearly defined set of goals for each meeting.
? Establishment at the beginning of each session of a common ground (which is the achievement of the desired goal) between participants and facilitators.
? Explicit agreements between facilitators and participants that they will try to accomplish something beyond the (minimum) stated goals.
? A clear designation of the responsibility of each of the participants and facilitators.
The model of behavioral change currently being tested at this center also specifies a series of guidelines that should be adhered to in every Corrective Thinking Session."

From the Paper
"Diversity has been an important and highly sought after quality in organizations over the past twenty years. In some sense it has become the holy grail of organizational efficiency and awarded almost mythical status as a panacea for a lack of organizational vision and creativity. Diversity programs have been instituted in companies and organizations as diverse as Allstate is to Canon ("Diversity", 1998). Almost every organization, public or private, makes some attempt to address diversity its workforce. Diversity in the workforce is most often equated with racial and cultural dimensions and the development of these differences in an equitable and productive manner (Thomas & Ely, 2001). In all instances, diversity training and the development of diversity is meant to both improve the work environment as well as the underlying performance quotient of the organization."

Law Enforcement, 2008.
This paper discusses the importance of a well-defined classification system within the field of law enforcement.
986 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that classifications serve many purposes for different agencies and organizations and fields, including law enforcement. Classification is a tool that, when used correctly, can help agencies devote time to critical matters efficiently. Classification provides agencies the ability to assign cases or problems to specific classes and people that provide expert advice and direction within those fields. The writer points out that this is an important consideration, especially with regard to the fields of law and law enforcement. The writer maintains that without a well-defined classification system within the field of law enforcement, too many cases might be overlooked or lumped into inappropriate categories, resulting in improper investigation or lack of follow up. The writer concludes that because there is so much potential for proper and efficient law enforcement when categories and sub-categories are specialized, it is critical that law enforcement agencies consider and review their classification system regularly.
Outline:
Classification Overview
Classification in Law Enforcement
Purposes of Classes & Sub-Classes in Law Enforcement
Reasons for Classification in Law Enforcement
Classification by System
From the Paper
"The role of the researcher in a law enforcement sub-category of social services may serve as a lecturer, offering information to organizations or companies about fields of interest in social work. The role of the head of the department may include supervising the work of field experts and monitoring progress, as well as assigning cases to specific experts in the social work sub-category of the classification of Social Work under law enforcement. Professional staff may also serve in the social work classification field under direction of one of the researchers or the head of the law enforcement agency; the role of this staff member may be administrative. This suggests an administrative officer working under the social work classification in law enforcement will help the department manage family law cases, including reports of abuse or recommendations regarding incarceration of related family or other information."

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.

Click here to show/hide summary
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."
