Abstract
This paper begins with a discussion on steroids and its general use in athletes today. It then offers a scientific description of the physical and psychological effects of steroid use or abuse. The paper focuses on the use of steroids by law enforcement officers. The author offers an objective viewpoint, arguing both for and against its use. Examples are used to qualify points made.
From the Paper
"Psychologic effects are usually only seen with very high doses, and include wide and erratic mood swings, irrational behavior, increased aggressiveness, irritability, depression, and dependency (General). Adverse physical effects may include acne, liver dysfunction, hypertension, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, decreased high density lipoprotein cholesterol, increased cardiovascular risk, and males may develop gynecomastia, testicular atrophy, and azoospermia (General). Females may experience enlarged clitoris, decrease in breast size, increase in aggressiveness and appetite, and menstruation may change or stop (General). In group comparison studies, men selected for atypical violence (e.g., prison inmates) have been found to possess higher free testosterone levels compared with less violent controls, and in correlation studies, a significant link between free testosterone levels and verbal aggression, as well as physical violence, has been reported in samples of spouse-abusing men (Eriksson)."

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."

Abstract
This paper explains that steroid use has increased significantly in the past five years due to the increased competition in sports. The author points out that anabolic steroids enhance an athlete's overall performance; however, the consequences of using steroids are not worth the dangers to which athletes subject their bodies and integrity. The paper reports that steroid use in high school athletes is growing rapidly as young athletes see professionals as role models that are willing to risk their health by taking steroids to achieve athletic goals. The author relates that anabolic steroids are banned in all sports in the United States and most of the world; however, this has not stopped athletes from trying to receive a competitive edge via steroid use. The paper underscores that the reason many athletes are willing to do steroids is because of lack of tough penalties.
From the Paper
"In many sports, such as Major League Baseball, athletes are allowed many strikes and receive fines for using steroids. The current first strike offense in baseball is The policy says that the penalty for a first positive test for steroids is "a 10-day suspension or up to a $10,000 fine", and there is no public identification of players who are fined rather than suspended. Baseball has said that first-time offenders would be publicly identified as having failed a test in addition to a suspension. In the NFL, steroid use is banned. Players are randomly tested, and those testing positive could face game suspensions."

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of steroid use in sports which is not only a problem in the professional circuit, but has crept its way into high schools and colleges across the nation. The writer of this paper focuses on the use of steroids in these areas while examining the various solutions to this growing problem. This writer details the current professional sports climate which does little to help this situation. Kids see athletes as role models and when they see them using steroids, they perceive it as an endorsement. This paper defines steroids as a medicine synthesized to perform like human hormones, mostly testosterone and to a lesser extent human growth hormone. The writer discusses the current punishments for steroid use, which are lenient by expert standards. This paper examines the various efforts to stop the use of steroids in sports. The writer contends that the underlying path to stopping the use of steroids in sports will come when the young athletes are stopped and held accountable for their actions.

From the Paper
"Currently the punishments for steroid use are lenient by expert standards. A professional baseball player has to be caught four times before anything serious happens to him. The first infraction can get a 10 day suspension, while subsequent uses can get up to a quarter of as season on the bench. This sends the message to young sports enthusiasts that the use of illegal steroids is not that big of an issue.
One of the first things that needs to be done to stop the use of steroids is to change the public perception of winning and the importance of doing so. As long as children and adults are being conditioned that winning at all costs is acceptable steroid use is going to be an issue in sports."

»

Abstract
The paper shows that in order to keep the law and order situation of the society under control, it is necessary for the law enforcement agencies to establish efficient and effective guidelines for law enforcement. It shows too, however, that it is also important to consider the ethical perspectives before making any decision in this regard. The primary responsibility of the law enforcement agencies is to work for the benefit of the society and serve the community. In this regard, they are responsible for protecting the citizens from criminal activities and keep the environment peaceful. The paper discusses how effective law enforcement ensures the security of lives and properties of the citizens and safeguards their individual liberty and rights. In addition to this, the law enforcement agencies should make sure that their actions and policies are in conformance to the ethical standards of the society and do not violate any ethical or moral principle.
From the Paper
"It is also important to note that the law enforcement officials should be trustworthy, responsible, fair and should respect each and every member of the society regardless of his or her race, religion or ethnic origin. He or she should be honest with his or her job and should completely fulfill his or her obligations. In addition to this, he should be responsible enough to keep his promises and to fulfill his commitments. Another important aspect to be kept in mind, while serving as a law enforcement officer, is that he or she should respect the individual liberty of every individual and treat the citizens fairly regardless of their race, ethnicity or religion. Moreover, they should keep a considerably high level of tolerance and should patiently deal with individuals who are either not willing to cooperate with them or are trying to abuse them."

Abstract
The paper begins by discussing the concept of decentralized management, looking at its advantage for organizations in the corporate sector, at the reasons why it does not improve the situation of law enforcement agencies, and at the importance of good leadership. Next, the paper focuses on organizational communication. It discusses how a lack of this communication can affect efficiency and productivity and looks at this problem within the running of law enforcement agencies, focusing on inefficiencies in the criminal justice department. Finally, the paper explores problem solving, looking at the attempt by law enforcement agencies to identify and resolve problems. Crime analysis is discussed, and the SARA (Scanning, Analysis, Response, Assessment) approach is explained. The paper concludes with a look at successful problem solving implementation by various law enforcement agencies.
From the Paper
"Decentralized management is the buzzword these days, as it is believed that centralized management structures no longer produce positive results. It has been noticed that decentralization paves way for more autonomy among various units and leads to employee empowerment, one thing that has been the cornerstone of productivity in the 21st century. But does decentralized management really works in all types of organizations. That is not exactly true. While the corporate sector reaps the benefits of decentralized environment where various departments and units maintain almost complete autonomy and thus have control over decision-making process, law enforcement agencies have failed to extract the best out of this system of management. In the latter, it has actually resulted in more corruption and less accountability."

From the Paper
"In addition to the physical side effects, the use of anabolic steroids also causes psychological side effects. The drugs become extremely addictive and damaging to the mind. They can cause violent episodes, and become so psychologically addicting that users are unable to recognize the negative side effects. Additionally, research has shown that steroids sometimes cause psychotic side effects, which have been nicknamed as "roid mania." The symptoms include wildly aggressive and combative behavior, depression, listlessness, and delusions during and after performance. For example, athletes who use steroids have been shown to attempt to continue the competition after the end of a game. Steroids mentally destroy the brain and the ability to reason. Overall the usage of steroids is extremely damaging to the human body."

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 possible definitions of justice in its relation to law enforcement. It particularly discusses how criminal justice is connected to the idea of due process. The paper then focuses on current practices within law enforcement that demonstrate justice. The paper argues that policies and practices created to increase public order or individual rights are frequently seen to diminish that which they were put in place to protect. Finally, the paper discusses how justice as it applies to law enforcement in America has changed since the advent of September 11, 2001 and the direction it will take in the future.
Table of Contents:
Current Practices Demonstrating Justice
Community Policing
Miranda Law
Cross-agency Cooperation
Changes following September 11th
USA Patriot Act
Department of Homeland Security
Airport Security
Future Challenges
Consequences of the Patriot Act
Funding
Racial Profiling
Prediction for Law Enforcement
From the Paper
"Rapidly expanding technologies, including computer networking, the Internet, wireless services of all kinds, and simple access to relatively anonymous forms of electronic communication, signal a new era for the American justice system and more importantly, law enforcement. On the other hand, law enforcement access to high-technology investigative tools has produced enormous amounts of information on crimes and suspects, and the use of innovative investigative tools are beginning to shape many of the practical aspects of the 21st century criminal justice system. Sadly, in my opinion, the criminal justice system of the future will look much like the system we know today."

Abstract
This paper examines when the use of steroids was first brought to the attention of the sports world. It then examines how and why steroids are being used by players. The paper looks at examples of players found guilty of using steroids and concludes with the health risks associated with steroid use.
From the Paper
"The problems arise as the players use very large quantities of these chemicals and that is the danger of their use. When individuals receive testosterone injections for medical purposes, they receive a dose that amounts to about 15 mg a day through Dianabol. On the other hand, the players consume even 300 mg a day. This poses great dangers as these put on a super physiological level on the body causing the blueprints of the genetic make up to be changed."

From the Paper
"Citizens may refute any cross interrogations as regards the answer when it comes to incriminating them. Like when an officer just emerges and cross questions you have the privilege, you are apprehended, to refute any questions if the answers have an inclination to punish you. Furthermore, anything you blurt out can be applied as evidence against you. Sometimes people are of the belief that what they are blurting out cannot punish them, when as a matter of fact, what they blurt out gives association in a continuity of information that would punish them. You have no privilege to make debate about why you are apprehended or about your involvement or innocence at the time of apprehension. Debating or resisting the police will not give you a hand in anyway. It will give meaning that the police can bring forth extra criminal accusations against you, and it may turn it difficult for you to set free or get on bail if you are incriminated."

Abstract
This paper first takes a brief look at how drugs are used all over the world and then focuses specifically on the use of steroids in the world of sports. The paper explains what anabolic steroids are, gives a brief history of steroid use, and describes the negative side effects.
From the Paper
"Steroids have been a very common form of drugs used in sports today despite the fact that athletes are regularly tested for doping and are immediately expelled from events if they test positive. The question that arises is why would athletes use steroids when such tactics simply kill the whole spirit of competition. To compete means to show you are more skillful and better trained for a certain sport, however with steroids this purpose of competition is destroyed because the winner has won not due to his own ability but because of certain performance enhancing drugs."

The Effects of Unethical Behavior
Annotated Bibliography
From the Paper
"Certain guidelines are also in place in order to ensure ethical behavior. Firstly law enforcement officials should ensure that they are acting within the rule of law as prevalent during the specific time period in which they operate (Alderson, 1979, p. 15). Secondly the internal rules of policing should also be followed in order to ensure correct conduct. If these rules are followed effectively, it should be evident in the absence of crime (Chu, 2001, p. 24). Police officers are however not only dependent on themselves for their ability to effectively perform their duties. The public also plays a substantial role in terms of their approval of the existence, actions and behavior of the law enforcement agency."
