The document discusses racial profiling by law enforcement. It summarizes 2000 Gallup poll results that found most minorities believe racial profiling is widespread compared to fewer white people. It also discusses scenarios where the race of individuals holding guns could influence officers' responses. The document defines racial profiling as unlawful discrimination based on race during law enforcement actions. It acknowledges racial profiling is a significant issue but the truth is complex, and aims to improve police-community relations through anti-profiling policies and training.
Racial profiling involves law enforcement targeting individuals for stops or searches based on their race rather than criminal behavior. Statistics show that African Americans and Hispanics are searched at higher rates than others for minor traffic violations. While the term was defined in 1998, racial profiling has occurred throughout history and remains an ongoing problem, with only 21 states having laws against the discriminatory practice. Organizations continue working to educate the public and pass legislation prohibiting racial profiling.
The document discusses racial profiling, which is the practice of using a person's race as grounds for suspicion of criminal behavior. Some believe it is necessary for safety and security, while others think it treats people unfairly and is not needed. Racial profiling causes controversy as minorities often face unfair treatment and lack equal opportunities compared to Caucasians. While crimes may sometimes be associated with certain races, there are often underlying socioeconomic reasons rather than race alone. The document also notes that racial profiling occurs more in areas with less diverse police forces and assigning officers to communities of their own race could help address this.

Combating Human Trafficking in the USA and investigating it RightByron Olivere
This document provides an overview of human trafficking. It discusses the trafficker's methods, including grooming victims and controlling them through force, fraud and coercion. It also covers investigations, noting the importance of identifying victims, understanding trauma responses, and collaborating across agencies. Trafficking is very profitable with low risk. Reducing demand through customer deterrence is key to impacting the issue. Law enforcement training and resources need to increase to effectively address this crime.
The document provides statistics on police shootings and prosecutions in 2017, noting that out of 987 fatal police shootings, only 35 officers were charged and none were convicted during bench trials. It also discusses the differences between criminal and civil law as they relate to prosecuting police officers for shootings. The document encourages taking action through signing a petition, volunteering, or spreading awareness of police shootings and accountability issues.
This document discusses racial profiling, specifically in Rhode Island and the city of Providence. It provides statistics showing that the highest rates of racial profiling targets African Americans, Hispanics, and Middle Eastern people. Victims are often subjected to violence and false arrests by police officers. The document advocates presenting a bill called the Racial Profiling Prevention Act to address this issue. It also suggests organizing communities through events like protests to raise awareness of racial profiling and push for change.
The National Police Misconduct Reporting Project (NPMRP) tracked 4,861 reports of police misconduct in 2010 involving 6,613 officers and 6,826 alleged victims. This included 247 fatalities and $346.5 million in civil judgments. The NPMRP aggregates reports of police misconduct on a Twitter feed and in a database, following criteria like the incident involving an on or off-duty officer, and reports of allegations, investigations, litigation, etc. The author advocates using social media and technology to monitor and spread awareness of police brutality cases around the world.
This document discusses police brutality in Papua New Guinea. It defines police brutality and describes types that occur in PNG, such as excessive force and false imprisonment. Causes of police brutality are said to include areas where violence against law enforcement is common and abuse of power. Effects include death, psychological issues, court cases, racial profiling, and media attention. The document proposes both professionalizing the police force and addressing organizational cultures that tolerate excessive force as ways to reduce brutality. It concludes that police brutality erodes citizen dignity and requests drastic measures to address this problem.
This document proposes electoral reforms in India to reduce the influence of money and muscle power in politics. It notes that money power undermines democracy and leads to corruption. It suggests several reforms such as stricter screening of candidates, limiting independent candidates, establishing an agency to screen candidates, raising election spending limits, and setting up special courts to quickly handle politician cases. The proposed solutions aim to improve governance by electing better representatives and cleaning up the political system.
Promise And Perils Of Internet Searching Job CandidatesGeorge Lenard

Warning! How Background Checks Can Get You in Big TroubleMike McCarty
Simply conducting background checks on employees is not enough. Organizations must understand and navigate the constantly changing local, state and federal laws to avoid lawsuits for conducting background checks.
The document discusses how laws intended to protect national security and enforce immigration can be abused and lead to racial profiling and inequality. It provides examples of immigration laws throughout American history that discriminated against non-white groups. While laws like Stop and Frisk and post-9/11 security measures had good intentions, they also gave power to law enforcement that could infringe on civil liberties and target minority groups disproportionately. The document argues that racial profiling has been a problem in the application of laws around national security, immigration, and police stops from the founding of the US to the present day.
Racial profiling involves targeting minorities by police and others without probable cause. It may be more common due to hate crimes, gang violence, the war on drugs, and terrorist attacks. Two controversial cases involved racial profiling that resulted in injury and death. Statistics show that African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to be pulled over and searched by police compared to whites. The media can help bring attention to issues of police corruption and racial profiling but may also influence public opinion. Preventing future cases of racial profiling requires stricter laws against the practice as well as more education for police and the public. Racial profiling should not be tolerated at any level.

This document defines and describes heart failure, its causes, forms, and pathophysiology. Heart failure is defined as the inability of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It is most often caused by impaired contractility from conditions like ischemic heart disease or cardiomyopathy. Heart failure can present as systolic or diastolic dysfunction and can affect the left or right ventricle. The body undergoes adaptive and maladaptive changes like neurohormonal activation to try to maintain cardiac output as heart function declines.
Triage is the process of sorting patients based on the urgency of their condition to provide the right care to the right patient at the right time. It involves initially assessing patients at arrival to identify those needing immediate care, determine the appropriate treatment area, and avoid congestion. The goals are to treat the most severely injured first while maximizing survival in a mass casualty event. Triage categories range from resuscitation to non-urgent to ensure critical patients receive rapid medical attention. Reassessment is important as a patient's condition may deteriorate while waiting.

From victims to victimizers (article presentation)Ran Hu, LMSW
This study interviewed 25 ex-pimps in Chicago to understand their involvement in sex trafficking. It found that most had unstable family environments as children and were exposed to prostitution at a young age. They on average began pimping in their early 20s and controlled between 2-30 women at a time, earning $150,000-$500,000 annually. While some expressed regret, others felt sex work was an accepted industry with high demand. The study aims to inform strategies to prevent pimping through improving family and foster care systems, providing job opportunities, and increasing legal risks through stronger law enforcement and prosecuting customers. However, the small sample size and sampling method limit generalizability.

Background Investigations: A Primer for Nonprofits
Volunteers are an integral part of society. Unfortunately there is that small percent of volunteer contact that is actually harmful. Volunteers are not the only segment that nonprofits need to be concerned with. Employees and board members can also harm an organization and its clientele.
Savvy nonprofit organizations realize that there are ways to mitigate the risk of letting the wrong person be a volunteer, employee, or board member; in turn mitigating the risk of fraud, abuse, illegal activity, and negative influence. Background investigations are one of the best ways to mitigate those risks.
Savvy nonprofit organizations also realize that a properly implemented background investigations policy and procedure carries with it the concerns of being time consuming, requires the gathering of sensitive data, is paper heavy, and can be costly.
Learn how to implement an effective volunteer, employee and board background investigations policy and procedure, while learning the ins and outs of background investigations, how to evaluate current background investigations, and how to get buy in from within your organization to enhance or implement a background investigations program.
