This is a two part question in that the structure for policing in America was formulated on Sir Robert Peel’s (Metropolitan Police Act, 1829) perspective and an military model. 

Why do you think that he chose to structure after the military model? 

What effect do you think the political, reform and community eras have had on the fourth or, New Era, of policing?

Can elements from previous eras in history be found in today’s policing or is everything completely different?  Identify and provide examples.

his is 2 different student post… you must respond with 45 words each whether you agree or disagree… state facts/opinions as well

1)I think the relationship between civilians and law enforcement will be or rather remain a big challenge. Not all but a lot people hate police officers. Hate is a strong word but its the truth. In my city its really uncanny how different precincts react to police presence. In the precinct I work in people hate us and they tell us regularly. However in another precinct EVERYBODY loves us. They come out and talk to us shake our hands and we start to know each other. I just know that its like that everywhere and its never going to change. People must learn to talk and listen to each other. Those that back police officers and those that disagree with law enforcement always have to one up each other. There is never room for common ground. Next is the courtroom you’re always going to have judges and prosecutors looking to get justice and looking to boost numbers. Moving on to prisons and jails, criminals are treated like animals. Their living conditions are terrible. There is assault, murder, rape and extortion. All of these conditions will only make a person worse. And worse than that if someone is wrongly convicted for something and they go into one of these facilities they will be eaten alive or they becoming monsters.

2)The most challenging ethical elements of criminal justice in the future I feel would be Law Enforcement and Correctional Officers. These two play a big role in the criminal justice system. And right now the world is seeing police brutality and racism between the communities and police. People dying in the hands of correctional officers as soon as they are being booked. This has been going on for awhile. Now that people are standing up and fighting for their fights as humans, and letting people know this is really happening in the world. To see a change, this will take time. Maybe years. One thing is that some police departments are saying they are providing better education on how to deal with certain situations. But, if they react too fast that situation can be deadly. The same goes with prison guards. In Texas, at the Collin detention center there has been way too many homicides. These were in the hands of correctional officers. The detention center stated they were going to come up with a plan to help train these officers to deal with situation like Marvin Scott III. Situation like this will take a lot of training, time and the officers are going to want to change.

What impact do you believe that the prevalence of inmate mental health issues (in jails and prisons), may have upon efforts to establish successful individual reentry programs?

If you do not believe that inmate mental health issues impact such programs, articulate why.

Draft Interview Sheet

As a paralegal, you will be asked frequently to conduct or to sit in on client interviews, whether initial consultations or follow-up or phone-based interviews. Taking the time before client meetings to draft a list of questions will help you not only to be prepared to make the most efficient use of everyone’s time but also will provide a starting point for identifying some of the potential legal actions, issues, and defenses involved.

Keep in mind you probably will have more questions that need to be answered once the client has given you the information you requested, so you need to plan accordingly with your time and materials.

Your supervising attorney asks you to interview John regarding his potential lawsuit. Draft an interview sheet. It should include the questions you will ask him to determine whether your law firm should represent John in his case. Additionally, identify at least three (3) others you will want to interview.

On a separate page, cite all sources using the Bluebook.

I’m working on a law multi-part question and need guidance to help me learn.

The Dilemma 

There is a 300-bed nursing home in the path of the fire. There is also a county jail with nearly 800 residents currently incarcerated, mostly for non-violent crimes. You now have very limited capacity to assist residents in evacuating.  You can only evacuate one facility at a time, and you know that there is a real possibility that you may not be able to get to them both in time if the winds pick up and speed the fire along. Which facility will take priority?   

The Situation Room

Now that you know the situation, you realize that you need to reconvene in your task force and address this situation, even as you are finalizing your work. An extension is not possible, due to the looming possibility of a natural disaster occurring in your community.

Together, your task force must decide whether to evacuate the nursing home residents and staff, or the jail inmates and staff. Apply your leadership style and your disciplinary code of ethics in your decision-making. Discuss the ethical implications of either decision. What ethical code(s) are you applying? What strategies might you recommend to decrease risk factors? Consider, too, how you will handle the press, if the story gets picked up (which is highly likely in today’s 24/7 media cycle). 

Lastly, as emerging leaders in your field and in working with other disciplines, what strategies or tactics is your task force using to address this “curve ball” scenario, while still staying on your timeline to deliver a formal emergency plan?

Deliverable

In your task force collaboration area, collaborate on a short report that lays out the following:

• The conversations you engaged in around ethical implications of each decision.
• Your ultimate decision and why your task force arrived at that decision.
• Any plan you came up with to try to mitigate potential for harm for the facility being evacuated second 
• Any lessons learned about multi-tasking multiple urgent scenarios/projects.
• Provide any in-text citations of references you used; you can then add the formal APA references to your ongoing reference page for your task force project.  

You may also share any lingering questions you have about how you handled this scenario. It is not easy to make these decisions, knowing that the outcome may be difficult or even tragic.

Can you help me understand this Criminal Justice question?

In what ways do you believe that the criminal justice system can ensure fair and equal treatment for all?
