From the Paper
"In New York City, the NYPD is not the only police agency operating in the city. The Port Authority Police Department is another such entity, with a jurisdiction that ranges over a radius of twenty-five miles and covers all of the major arteries into New York City. JFK alone encompasses 5,000 acres with ten terminals and can be seen as being like a small city. The PAPD has an authorized strength of 1,400 police. AS in most departments, the PAPD commanding officers use the analytical data they can gather so that they can recognize anticipated public safety threats and allocate their resources to those threats. State-of-the-art communication capabilities are an important component of this preventive strategy, and to this end, the PAPD has placed mobile data terminals inside police cars to enable police to communicate immediately with motor vehicle bureaus and other government entities for fast background checks of detained persons (Morrone, 1998, paras. 9-12)."

This paper reviews how policing has evolved over the last half-century. Along the way, the paper examines organizational developments, changes in the relationship between the general public and police officers, and changes between rank-and-file officers and their superiors. Not to be overlooked, the paper pauses to reflect on changes in personnel and also delves into some broad theories which have proved influential. In the end, the paper concludes that policing today is better than in the past and adjusted capably to a half-century of change.
From the Paper
"American policing has undergone many profound changes over the past several decades. From being authoritarian, punishment-focused and top-down only a couple of generations ago to being a more collaborative, educative and bottom-up organization today, policing in America's urban centers has changed in ways that mirror the broader changes in American society. The following paper examines the evolution of police-community interaction over the past half-century and also examine how the attitudes of police officers have changed as the world around them has changed."

Abstract
This paper explains that the social technology of crisis intervention is recommended training for all law enforcement officers who are responsible for immediate management of a crisis situation; whereas, the social technology of hostage negotiations is recommended training for special teams where bargaining is required. The author points out that the immediate management in crisis intervention is essential to interrupt ineffective, maladaptive behavior brought about by stress and tension in an individual's life. The paper relates that both crisis intervention and hostage negotiations require a specialized training curriculum including special training for units working on terrorism and terrorist activities.
Table of Contents
Key Concerns that Differentiate Crisis Intervention and Hostage Negotiations
Tactics Differences Between Crisis Intervention and Hostage Negotiations
Training Similarities and Differences Between Crisis Intervention and Hostage Negotiations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Circumstances requiring hostage negotiations are more commonly publicized than those requiring only crisis intervention tactics. Hostage negotiations include such events as situations with a kidnapper in a known location, as opposed to an unknown location where control is not possible, hostage taking, barricade situations and suicide attempts.
The foregoing definitions differentiate crisis intervention from negotiation situations involving hostages in that crisis intervention focuses on immediate management whereas hostage negotiations "seek peaceful resolution of a dangerous situation" with time being a plus factor, in most instances, for negotiators."

Forensic Science and Police Work, 2002.
This research paper studies the role of forensic science in police work over the last fifty years.

Abstract
The article outlines the development of forensic science over the past 50 years and its growing contribution to crime solving. It also presents some case studies of court cases and deals with the roll of forensic evidence in the courtroom. The author points out that until DNA testing was introduced in the early 1980s the main form of forensic identification was fingerprinting which is not accepted by all as valid evidence.
From the Paper
"Though forensic science has been aiding police work for a long time, it is only in the last two decades that it gained any real prominence. With better technologies being adopted by police departments worldwide, forensic evidence stands a better chance of entering formal investigations. But while these technologies have helped accentuate the significance of forensic science, they have also played a dominant role in discrediting forensic evidence. For example finger printing which is the oldest form of forensic evidence is widely being considered part of junk science that should be kept out of the court. Similarly no case involving DNA matching as primary evidence has ever made it to the Supreme Court in the United States."

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the topic of stress. Special emphasis will be placed on job-related stress as it pertains to police officers. In the 1950s, Dr. Hans Selye was among the first scientists to arrive at a definition of the term "stress." Selye described stress as "the state manifested by a specific syndrome which consists of all the nonspecifically induced changes within a biological system" (Frew, 1977, p. 56). In everyday terms, this refers to "the effects of all outside forces on your body, whether they be psychological or physical, and the body's resultant change due to those forces" (Sorrentino and Hausman, 1986, p. 133). Selye's definition refers to "nonspecifically induced changes," which means that stress is "caused by many different and changing agents" (Frew, p. 57). Therefore, it can be seen that there are a variety of potential elements which may (...)"

Abstract
This paper examines a number of theories regarding police deviance or corruption. It explains how some believe it is inherent in the work itself, coupled with the power afforded officers, the isolating subculture of police departments, the low pay, and lack of close supervision. On the contrary, it shows how some believe it is the combination of weak character of a selected few ?rotten apples? not properly screened out of the hiring process, once they are linked to opportunity and temptation.
From the Paper
"What is a slippery slope? Dr. Tom O?Connor states it is ?the potential for gradual deterioration of socio-moral inhibitions and perceived sense of permissibility for deviant conduct? (O?Connor 2002). He points out that police are involved on a routine basis in undercover work which involves taking on false identities and inducing crime. Police are allowed to make false promises to hostage takers and kidnappers. Police feed disinformation to the media. Police are trained to be deceptive at interviewing and interrogation?(O?Connor 2002)."

The Myths Regarding Enforcing the Laws
Examples of Officer's Discretion
Discretion with Juveniles
Discretion with the Mentally Ill
Conclusion
From the Paper
"What is Discretion?
In order to understand how police officers use discretion, an individual first must know what it is. Discretion is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as, "the ability to make responsible decisions, individual choice or judgment, power of free decision or latitude of choice within certain legal bounds." (Merriam-Webster Online, unknown). An officer's ability to use discretion and have the ability to make good judgment calls sometimes in a split second is crucial. Otherwise, an officer most likely will not have an extensive career in law enforcement."

From the Paper
"Police work is considered one of the most stressful of occupations.. In the United States, in 1982, ninety-two officers were killed in the line of duty, and close to 56,000 were victims of assault.. Yet, many police officers cite not physical violence the main source of stress, but state that emotional stress is the greater debilitator of the two. Odd schedules, that of switching from relative boredom to extreme activity levels very quickly, the idea that a "macho" image must always be projected, along with the threat of physical violence, all make police work a highly stressful occupation. This paper will discuss stress among police officers, including long-term stress which turns into post-traumatic stress disorder, and how police departments deal with this.

From the Paper
"The police officer?s job is one that is demanding as well as dangerous. From the routine traffic stop to the pursuit of someone armed and dangerous, the police officer depends on the technology and equipment that are the tools of his trade. The advancement of technology in the twentieth century was one of rapid acceleration and has proven to be effective both in the control as well as the perpetration of crime. The technology provided to the police officer is being at all times defended by offensive creations and implementations by the criminal element in society."

Abstract
This paper describes the content of the book, "Work Sister Work", its focus, and the authors' intended purpose in writing the book. The paper also explains that, in addition to providing useful information about not only black women in the workplace, but about the place of all women in the workplace and the changes in the American work force, as well as government efforts to improve the situation, the paper also focuses on how black women, in particular, can empower themselves so that they may survive and thrive in today's workplace.
From the Paper
"The idea of many of establishing a work force that reflects the diversity of the nation was one of the underlying purposes for affirmative action programs to bring more women and members of racial minorities into the work force. For most of America's history, much of the work force consisted primarily of white males. This has long been true especially in white collar jobs and in managerial positions. The composition of the work force did not reflect the reality of the American populace--women comprise slightly more than half the population, and a growing segment of the population consists of racial minorities. Even as these other groups have moved into the work force, they have tended to do so at lower levels and not to rise to managerial positions, where the white male continued to dominate."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper outlines the concept of team-based organization systems and how they benefit or do not benefit the management, labor unions, and the employees. The writer compares the organization/business to that of a political system and shows how the various team structures work with this theory. The paper concludes that organizations that follow the team-based system not only benefit from the managerial level, but also from the members level.
From the Paper
"Organizational structure plays a great role in determining the result of the desired output. During the 19th century, management theorists realized that employee productivity largely depended on the work process rather than the workers themselves. Factors like skills, environment, machineries and managers all were considered secondary to productivity. However, with the emergence of scientific management these factors came forward and management realized that they play critical role in achieving organizational goals. The reason being that organizations developed the socio-economic understanding of the employees as well as the psychological factors such as motivation, aspiration, personal goals and careers."
