Book Synopsis Prime Time Law Enforcement by : James M. Carlson
Download or read book Prime Time Law Enforcement written by James M. Carlson and published by Praeger Publishers. This book was released on 1985-09-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike the many works which stress the antisocial effects of television, this volume argues that television crime shows promte social stability and control by reinforcing the perceived legitimacy of the current social and political order. The author explores the mainstream values of crime shows as determined through analyses of content and reviews various studies of television's portrayal of criminal justice. He focuses on mainstream views regarding law enforcement in a sample of adolescents and considers the groups that might be most susceptible to mainstreaming. Some of the factors considered in the value analyses are knowledge of criminal legal processes, support for and compliance with the legal system, support for civil liberties, images of police, fear of crime, trust in people, and political cynicism. Also included is a model which relates law enforcement attitudes to more general support for the political system.

Book Synopsis Law Enforcement in the Age of Black Lives Matter by : Sandra E. Weissinger
Download or read book Law Enforcement in the Age of Black Lives Matter written by Sandra E. Weissinger and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a reason why people claim great respect for officers of the law: the job, by description, is hard—if not deadly. It takes a certain kind of person to accept the consequences of the job— seeing the very worst situations, on a regular basis, and knowing that one’s life is on the line every hour of every day. Working in law enforcement is emotionally and psychologically draining. It affects these public servants both on and off the job. Said plainly, shaking an officers’ hand when you see them or posting a sign in the front yard that reads “Support the Badge” is lip service. Even going as far as to donate money to a crowdsourcing fundraising site does little to support the long-term professional development needs of officers. These are surface level signs of solidarity, and do little in terms of showing respect for the job and those who do it. For those who want to do more, this text provides reasons and a rationale for doing better by these public servants. Showing respect does not mean that one agrees with whatever another person or institution claims to be the “right” way. Showing respect and admiration means that we charge individuals to live up to their fullest potentials and integrate innovation wherever possible. In the case of policing in the era of Black Lives Matters, policing as usual simply is not an option any longer. It is disrespectful, to both the officers and those who are being policed, to rest on the laurels of past policing tactics. As we enter a time period in which police interactions are recorded (dash cams or body cams, for example) and new populations are being targeted (Latinx people), there is much to learn about what is working and what is not.
Book Synopsis Policing the Media by : David D. Perlmutter
Download or read book Policing the Media written by David D. Perlmutter and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2000-02-10 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing the Media is an investigation into one of the paradoxes of the mass-mediated age. Issues, events, and people that we "see" most on our television screens are often those that we understand the least. David Perlmutter examined this issue as it relates to one of the most frequently portrayed groups of people on television: police officers. Policing the Media is a report on the ethnography of a police department, derived from the author′s experience riding on patrol with officers and joining the department as a reserve policeman. Drawing upon interviews, personal observations, and the author′s black-and-white photographs of cops and the "clients," Perlmutter describes the lives and philosophies of street patrol officers. He finds that cops hold ambiguous attitudes toward their television comrades, for much of TV copland is fantastic and preposterous. Even those programs that boast gritty realism little resemble actual police work. Moreover, the officers perceive that the public′s attitudes toward law enforcement and crime are directly (and largely nefariously) influenced by mass media. This in turn, he suggests, influences the way that they themselves behave and "perform" on the street, and that unreal and surreal expectations of them are propagated by television cop shows. This cycle of perceptual influence may itself profoundly impact the contemporary criminal justice system, on the street, in the courts, and in the hearts and minds of ordinary people.
Book Synopsis Rise of the Warrior Cop by : Radley Balko
Download or read book Rise of the Warrior Cop written by Radley Balko and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking history of how American police forces have been militarized is now revised and updated. Newly added material brings the story through 2020, including analysis of the Ferguson protests, the Obama and Trump administrations, and the George Floyd protests. The last days of colonialism taught America’s revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But over the last two centuries, America’s cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as enemies. In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians’ ill-considered policies and relentless declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative that spans from America’s earliest days through today shows how a creeping battlefield mentality has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free society.

Book Synopsis Juvenile Arrests (2007) by : Charles Puzzanchera
Download or read book Juvenile Arrests (2007) written by Charles Puzzanchera and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report serves to assess the Nation¿s progress in addressing juvenile crime. The 2007 data bring some welcome news, as the recent trend of modest increases in juvenile arrests in 2005 and 2006 has been broken. The good news is reflected not only in the 2% decline in overall juvenile arrests and the 3% decline in juvenile arrests for violent crimes from 2006 to 2007 but also in the data for most offense categories, for males and females, and for white and minority youth. However, one area that merits continued attention is disproportionate minority contact with the juvenile justice system. For example, the arrest rate for robbery among black juveniles was more than 10 times that for white youth in 2007. Charts and tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern perspectives of law enforcement are both complex and diverse.

Pedagogical features include learning objectives, case studies, and discussion questions to facilitate reader assimilation of the material.

Book Synopsis Wasting Police Time by : David Copperfield
Download or read book Wasting Police Time written by David Copperfield and published by Ebury Australia. This book was released on 2007 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A huge hit... Will make you laugh out loud' - The Daily Mail In October 2006 a policeman called PC David Copperfield (pseudonym) received over a million hits to his blog site called Coppersblog. Coppersblog detailed a hilarious but shocking diary of life in a modern British town where teenage yobs terrorise the elderly, drunken couples brawl in front of their children and drug addicted burglars roam free. WASTING POLICE TIME is Copperfield's hilarious and shocking diary of life as a modern British bobby. It's the first book to spill the beans about the way senior police officers waste money while fiddling the crime figures and scrambling to meet bogus Home Office targets. Copperfield's Chief Constable won't like it and neither will the government. But honest taxpayers - sick of being fleeced while criminals rule the streets - will relish every word. Copperfield has been interviewed with his face obscured on BBC TV's Newsnight, Sky News, and this book is currently being used by the Conservative Party's shadow Home Affairs Team as they draw up policing policies for the future.
