Question For My BCJ 2000 Unit V
THIS IS WHAT WAS WRITTEN FOR THE QUESTION BELOW:
I feel the American correctional system is failing. Take, for instance, that the Bureau of Justice Statistics (2018) declared that the fact that the incarceration rate in the US as of May 2018, was 655 to 100000 Americans. Then, consider that, a third of all convicts released eventually find their way back in prison, with over 60,000 being minor parole violators, and that even law enforcers and profilers are keen on suspects with previous records. The correctional system is, therefore, falling short of its job to punish, to persuade against committing a crime, and to rehabilitate criminals as tasked by the constitution.
Actually the courts punish and then turn the individual over to the “correctional system” to rehabilitate. Do you think rehabilitation is working might be the question? Someone that reads on a third grade level and improves while incarcerated to the 8th grade level may still not find work after serving a sentence. What do you think?
# 2 THIS IS WHAT WAS WRITTEN FOR THE BELOW QUESTION:
I believe that most of the criminals in prison, especially those serving long sentences, usually do not want to be helped. This is because they tend to commit other crimes intentionally when released, so that they may be sent back. Secondly, I believe that prisons are becoming too comfortable for prisoners since they are provided with free food, and a gym and other commodities. Although they are also human beings, I trust that some of the privileges that they enjoy should be removed. Secondly, criminals should be forced to work on hard labor projects such as building roads and cleaning towns. This will ensure that they indeed deter from criminal behavior after they have been released.
Maybe we should classify those who want to be helped? What do you think? Thinking critically throughout the United States.
#3 RESPOND TO CLASSMATES DISCUSSION BOARD HE WROTE:
In my opinion, I feel that body worn cameras help police officers do their job. Not only do they provide an investigative tool because they can play back past calls but they also offer an insurance policy because they can very easily prove or disprove alleged actions of the officers. I feel like the use of body worn cameras does influence the behavior of officers because they have to keep in mind that they are constantly being recorded.
This Is What Was Written and I have To Answer The Question Below Unit VI BCJ2000
Technology has helped in the development of body cameras for our police officers. In case of an incident, I believe that the body cameras indeed help the police officers. This is because it enables them to record the whole incidence. Therefore, if a suspect lies in court, the camera exposes the truth. Secondly, even when a suspect escapes after an incident with an officer, they can be easily caught as the camera usually records their faces. Body cameras indeed influence the behaviors of both parole officers and citizens of the country. This is because both parties know their actions will be recorded in a camera and hence, makes them behave in a steady, calm and level-headed manner.
Question:
Great comments. The issues are starting to surface about the release of the information. Who do you think and why should release the footage of the video from cameras?
Discussion Board Question for Unit VII BCJ 2000

In your opinion, how effective is community policing as it relates to domestic terror threats? Do you feel that such efforts to foster partnerships, build trust, and develop a rapport with the community are effective ways to combat terrorism within our communities? Explain your reasoning.

QUESTION FOR MY BCJ 2001 UNIT V
# 1 This Is What Was Written For The Below Question:
The court’s ruling is one I can agree with. Police officers train for an average of 21 weeks on skills that help them identify unusual conducts that may be associated with criminal activity. It is within the criteria set by the 4th Amendment, to perform a pat down they fear for the safety of their lives, and that of the public. Considering the exercise is non-intrusive, and the officer can articulate the reasonable suspicion based on facts, I agree that the decision was reasonable and might have stopped a crime in the Terry v Ohio case, and in many other incidences.
Do you think officers should be permitted to pat down anyone that comes in contact with the officer?
#2 This Is What Was Written For The Below Question:
Your post was interesting and informative. I am also in agreement with the justifications of the Terry Stop. Secondly, I agree that police officers are usually trained to detect any criminal or abnormal behavior. However, it is important to remember that police officers are also human beings and they may, consequently, subject an individual to a Terry Stop when investigating a crime. Therefore, I believe that an individual subjected to a Terry Stop does not necessarily need to report to the police department. Though, if they are tortured during a Terry Stop, they should definitely report it as it is unconstitutional and a violation of their rights.
How can you define torture? To me, the stop itself may be a form of torture. Clarification here or word choice might be required? Thinking critically, should police protect themselves from danger and I think you are clear on this. Your statement seems to center upon “how” the frisk is conducted although the rules are clear. Outer most garments only for a Frisk. What do you think?
THIS IS WHAT WAS WRITTEN UNIT VI AND I HAVE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION BELOW:
Minority groups in law enforcement tend to face several challenges. These challenges include prejudice and also underrepresentation. However, the biggest challenge they face is discrimination from officers in the majority group. Some of the minority groups that are in law enforcement are women and African Americans. One of the challenges that female officers face while in the field is sexual harassment. Since they are women, they tend to be viewed as the weaker sex and hence, face sexual harassment not only from male officers by male citizens. This challenge can be solved through harassment being taken seriously and also ensure there is the presence of an impartial facilitator when the complaints are being addressed.
What type of program do you think would work to reduce harassment of the genders? Do you think it works both ways? Do you think female officers might harass male officers as well?
BOARD QUESTION FOR UNIT VII
Discuss the positive and negative effects of community policing. Identify some community policing programs, and explain their effectiveness. Do you think community policing should replace our traditional methods of police work?
