Several current and former inspectors at the Franklin Correctional Institution in Florida testified to lawmakers about corruption at the prison. They claimed supervisors told them to ignore evidence of wrongdoing by officers, including medical neglect of inmates, violence by gangs, and possible organized crime influence. One inmate death from being gassed in isolation was investigated but reports were fabricated. The Secretary of the Department of Corrections said these incidents were in the past but inspectors said corruption like daily assaults and murders were still occurring and going unchecked. Proper oversight is needed to investigate allegations of corruption and improve practices.

This study examined racial bias in hiring ex-convicts. Participants read scenarios about White, Black, or Latino ex-convict and non-ex-convict job applicants and rated them. It was found that while race alone did not affect ratings, there was bias based on criminal history and an interaction of race and criminal history. Specifically, African American ex-convicts were perceived as more likely to be hired and having a stronger work ethic than White or Latino ex-convicts. However, White non-ex-convicts were seen as having a stronger work ethic than Black or Latino non-ex-convicts. The study suggests racial stereotypes affect perceptions of ex-convict

Alicia Ziegler SW598 Final Paper
This document provides an introduction to a paper addressing violence against sex workers and how faith communities can be involved in change efforts. It summarizes literature on the topic, including findings that street-based sex workers experience more violence than indoor workers. It also discusses opposing views on decriminalizing prostitution and possible interventions. The desired adaptive change is to provide safety for sex workers, which could lead to a cultural attitude shift in viewing sex workers as legitimate humans. An example given is zoning regulations in Cologne, Germany that reduced violence against sex workers by separating their work areas.
Racial Profiling and Its Effects
Racial profiling and its negative effects on professionalism and international relations is examined. Racial prejudices are passed down through generations and influence first impressions and judgements. Studies show racial profiling negatively impacts minorities in the workplace and society. Following 9/11, discrimination increased greatly against Muslims in the U.S. through unjust arrests and hate crimes. While some data suggests racial profiling can influence crime rates, most experts argue it undermines equal treatment and should be avoided to promote a just society with strong international relations.
Ethnicity and crime
Official crime statistics show that ethnic minorities, particularly black people, are overrepresented at various stages of the criminal justice system. Black people are much more likely to be stopped and searched by police, arrested, and imprisoned. However, statistics do not prove whether ethnic groups actually commit crimes at different rates or if overrepresentation is partly due to discrimination within the criminal justice system, such as disproportionate targeting by police. Explanations for differences in crime rates include sociological theories of marginalization, racism, and conflict perspectives, as well as debates around the accuracy and biases of official data.
The klassen case
1) In 1989, three siblings accused their biological parents, foster parents, and extended family members of horrific acts of sexual and ritual abuse. Over a dozen adults were charged, but it was later found that the oldest sibling had coerced the accusations and was himself abusive.
2) The accused families sued the investigators and prosecutors for malicious prosecution. Such lawsuits are rarely successful due to prosecutorial discretion and immunity. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled there was reasonable cause for prosecution, despite the accusations being false.
3) The accused families suffered lasting reputational and psychological harm. They received a $2.7 million settlement but the ordeal lasted over 15 years. The siblings also received a settlement. The case demonstrates the

Serial murder investigations are complex due to the crimes crossing multiple jurisdictions. Reactive policing through routine patrols and case investigations is often not enough to catch serial killers, who plan their crimes carefully. Investigations now use proactive approaches including databases to share information between law enforcement agencies. An FBI symposium discussed best practices for serial murder investigations, emphasizing the importance of communication, task force organization, and using analytical tools and behavioral profiling.

The document presents statistics showing ethnic disparities in arrests, imprisonment, and victimization in the UK. Black people have much higher arrest and imprisonment rates than expected based on their population. Ethnic minorities also face higher risks of racially motivated attacks. While recorded crime only shows part of the picture, there is debate around whether disparities stem from police targeting, subcultures, or institutional racism within the criminal justice system.

Final MYS Mock Trial_FINAL
The study aimed to investigate how mock jurors' perceptions of a human sex trafficking case are affected by the type of force used (coercion vs. physical abuse), the gender of the defendant (male vs. female trafficker), and the gender of the participant (male vs. female). The researchers hypothesized that physical abuse, a male defendant, and female participants would lead to more guilty verdicts and pro-victim ratings. 343 online participants read a fictional trafficking trial summary and indicated their verdict and ratings of trial aspects. The results may influence how prosecutors handle real sex trafficking cases.

The document reports on a study that examined correlations between subscales of the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV) and subscales of the Juvenile Sex Offender Assessment Protocol-II (J-SOAP-II) in a sample of 576 juvenile sex offenders. Significant positive correlations were found between measures of callous-unemotional traits on the PCL:YV and subscales of the J-SOAP-II related to treatment progress and antisocial tendencies, suggesting callous-unemotional traits are predictive of treatment failure and aggression. The results provide insight into tailoring risk assessment and treatment for different profiles of juvenile sex offenders.
Human Trafficking and Public Policy by Katherine Baudler
This document discusses arguments for and against decriminalizing prostitution. Supporters argue that decriminalization would increase safety for sex workers by allowing them to report crimes without risk of punishment. They also argue it could reduce trafficking by eliminating criminal records. Opponents counter that legalization would condone an unethical practice and exploitation of women. It may not reduce disease or abuse, and could encourage trafficking. The document examines the different perspectives and power dynamics at play in the debate over legalizing prostitution.

This document summarizes a submission from Just Detention International to the United Nations regarding sexual abuse in U.S. detention facilities. It notes that sexual abuse is widespread according to several studies, violating the U.S.'s international obligations. It recommends that the U.S. fully adopt the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission's standards, ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture for external oversight, permit communications under the Convention Against Torture, and amend the Prison Litigation Reform Act. Adopting these recommendations would help address concerns raised by international bodies and improve protection of prisoner human rights.
168 public administration review • march april 2017 publi
This document discusses racial disparities in policing, specifically investigatory police stops. It argues that racial disparities stem not just from individual racist officers, but from institutional policies and practices, such as widespread use of investigatory stops. Investigatory stops are used to check out suspicious people or vehicles to see if they are engaged in criminal activity, but most people stopped are innocent. These stops undermine trust in police, especially among African Americans who are disproportionately subjected to them. Reforming this practice is key to restoring trust in law enforcement.
Proposal Report of white-collar crime
This document discusses different perspectives on defining white-collar crime. It outlines Edwin Sutherland's definition, which focuses on the high social status of the criminal. However, this approach cannot examine how social status influences crime. More recent approaches define white-collar crime based on the characteristics of the criminal act, not the criminal. This crime-based perspective allows researchers to study how social status relates to different types of white-collar crimes. The document also briefly mentions that younger prisoners are more likely to engage in rule-breaking and conflicts in prison compared to older prisoners.

The document discusses ethnicity and crime in the UK and USA. It provides statistics showing that ethnic minorities, particularly those of Afro-Caribbean descent, are overrepresented in crime statistics and the prison population compared to their percentage of the total population. However, victim surveys show that most crime is intra-ethnic. There are two main explanations for this: structural factors such as racism and economic marginalization increase criminality; or that discrimination in the criminal justice system results in ethnic minorities being disproportionately policed, arrested, and convicted.

Hamilton County Domestic Violence Research Write UP
This document discusses judicial training on domestic violence issues in Hamilton County, Ohio. It analyzes existing educational models and policy strategies to determine best practices. The research found that common misconceptions about domestic violence can harm victims seeking protection. Questions from magistrates sometimes blame victims rather than address their safety. The document outlines national, statewide, and online training options that could help correct these issues by making training mandatory and focusing on factors like understanding the cycle of violence. However, current training in Ohio is not required. Mandatory training addressing power dynamics and local resources could help judges better protect domestic violence victims.

1) The study examined whether a defendant's sexual orientation or a juror's personality traits would influence guilty verdicts. 168 participants read a criminal case vignette varying the defendant's gender (male or female) and sexual orientation (heterosexual or homosexual).
2) Results found that homosexual defendants, whether male or female, received higher guilty ratings than their heterosexual counterparts. Female participants also gave higher guilty ratings to homosexual defendants compared to male participants.
3) While juror personality traits did not directly influence verdicts, traits like openness, agreeableness and self-actualization correlated with lower guilty ratings overall. However, these traits did not reduce discrimination against homosexual defendants.
Chapter 11
This document discusses various topics related to punishment and corrections, including:
- Elements of punishment and the goals of treatment in corrections
- Guidelines for ethical punishment that respect individual liberty and only justify necessary intrusions
- Rationales for punishment based on social contract theory and balancing restoration with civil liberties
- Goals of correctional systems like retribution, prevention, and rehabilitation
- Debate around punishment approaches like just deserts models, determinate vs. indeterminate sentencing, and three strikes laws
- Costs and controversies with practices like private prisons, supermax facilities, capital punishment, and community supervision.

The document discusses reasons for overrepresentation of ethnic minorities in crime statistics. It questions whether ethnic minorities truly commit more crimes or if statistics provide an inaccurate picture due to factors like institutional racism and stereotyping. Some reasons given for higher crime rates and convictions among ethnic groups include evidence of racism within police culture and practices, unfair targeting of minorities in stop-and-search policies, and socioeconomic challenges like poverty that are more common in minority communities. The case study of Stephen Lawrence, a black teenager murdered in 1993, illustrates failures in the police investigation potentially due to racism and stereotyping.
Chapter 3 - Updated
This document provides an overview of several criminological theories. It introduces choice theory, which views crime as a rational choice weighing costs and benefits. It also discusses trait theories that see crime as caused by biological and psychological traits. Psychological theories examined include psychodynamic theory and behavioral theory. The document outlines sociological theories like social structure theory and social process theories. It also discusses labeling theory, critical criminology, developmental theories, and victimization theories. The goal is to simply expose students to different theories and perspectives on the causes of crime.
Pollock ethics 8e_ch07
Police officers have tremendous power and discretion in society, but some abuse this power through corruption or misconduct. While the majority of officers act professionally and ethically, a small minority engage in criminal behaviors like accepting bribes, planting evidence, or excessive use of force. Corruption can stem from individual officers, poor management and supervision that tolerates unethical behaviors, or systemic issues in how the public and law enforcement interact. Various reforms aim to reduce corruption through improved training, leadership, oversight, and accountability.

The violence in juvenile detention facilities is out of control according to the document. Juveniles are physically and sexually abused by other juveniles and staff. Gangs form and continue criminal activities inside the facilities instead of rehabilitation occurring. Reform is needed such as stronger policies, staff accountability, and determining if juveniles should be tried as juveniles or adults depending on their crimes. The juvenile justice system needs to be restructured to focus more on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
Chapter 2 Criminal Justice
The document summarizes key concepts in criminology. It discusses how crime data is collected through the Uniform Crime Report and National Crime Victimization Survey. It also defines hypotheses and theories, and summarizes several criminological theories like social disorganization theory, social process theory, and theories connecting offenders and victims. The chronic offender theory is explained as the idea that a small group is responsible for most crime. The importance of research accessibility for the criminal justice system is noted.
Chapter 7
Police have tremendous power in society that can enable corruption if abused. While most officers act ethically, a small minority engage in misconduct like accepting bribes, using excessive force, or dealing drugs. Notable cases of police corruption include Frank Serpico exposing widespread corruption in the NYPD in the 1970s and over 100 officers in Puerto Rico being arrested for drug trafficking in 2010. Reducing corruption requires reforms like improving training, oversight, and establishing civilian review boards.

This document summarizes the establishment and history of ANGLE (Agency Network of Gay and Lesbian Employees), which was founded in 1996 within the CIA. Its three founding members worked to communicate that LGBT employees equally contribute to the CIA's mission regardless of sexual orientation. Today, ANGLE serves as an ally for LGBT employees and a resource for all CIA officers. The document outlines some of the institutional challenges LGBT employees faced historically both within the CIA and in broader society, while also celebrating milestones made toward equality and acceptance.

Jails serve as local correctional facilities that hold individuals awaiting trial or serving short sentences of less than one year. They have historically struggled with overcrowding, underfunding, and inadequate staff training. Today's jails house a growing population that includes many with mental illnesses, substance abuse issues, and poor physical health. Jail administrators work to implement reforms like evidence-based programs, education/vocational training, and accreditation to improve conditions.
Juvenile corrections pp week 11
There are two dimensions to security in juvenile corrections - static (or physical) security and dynamic security. Static security focuses on the physical structure and layout of facilities, while dynamic security refers to the activities of juvenile correctional officers in maintaining safety and order. Both types of security are important, as physical barriers alone cannot ensure security without well-trained staff. Juvenile correctional officers play a key role in dynamic security through their daily supervision and monitoring of youth. Their tasks and training aim to reduce contraband and promote rehabilitation. Facilities also emphasize classification and case management to match youth to the appropriate security level and treatment programs.
Ppt chapter 9
This document discusses managing the prison population and staff. It covers the roles and goals of correctional staff, including providing security, ensuring humane incarceration, and helping inmates develop skills. It describes the staff hierarchy and bases of power. It also examines the staff subculture, personalities, job assignments, stressors, safety concerns, job satisfaction, professionalism, and challenges like managing terrorist inmates.

Games Criminals Play Lesson Plan
This document discusses games that prisoners play on correctional staff to manipulate them. It describes the stages of the "setup game" prisoners use, including selecting a victim, testing boundaries, and creating obligations. It explains roles prisoners take on and manipulation techniques like appealing to empathy or rumors. Professionalism is key to avoiding these games by being fair, impartial and maintaining control and distance from inmates. Statistics are provided on common outcomes when staff fall victim to inmates' games.

Corrections chapter 8 ppt
The document discusses prison management and organizations. It covers compliance, power structures, and the confinement model for inmates. The organizational structure of prisons is hierarchical, following concepts like unity of command and chain of command. Staff roles include wardens, guards, and program personnel. Maintaining order and preventing violence requires a balance of authority between inmates and staff. Violence in prisons can occur between inmates or against staff. At-risk groups for inmate-on-inmate violence include the young, non-violent first-time offenders. Decreasing violence requires improved classification, opportunities, staffing, and mechanisms for reporting issues.
Ppt chapter 13
The document discusses several issues facing prisons including overcrowding, security threats from gangs, riots, and privatization. It notes that prison populations have increased six-fold in the past 25 years leading to severe overcrowding. Security threat groups like gangs make up around 15% of the prison population. The document also discusses accreditation, privatization of prisons, and new technologies being used in corrections.

Slide 1
Enforcement officers must operate under the purview of the United States Constitution.
There are clear constitutional limitations on police behavior.
The Fourth amendment provides civilians protection against "unreasonable searches and seizures".
Case law has helped define the interpretation of what constitutes unreasonableness and also, what constitutes a search and seizure.
The Fourth amendment is only applicable to governmental actions including local, state, and federal enforcement.
The scope of constitutional protections does not however, impose upon the actions of private individuals or companies.
The Fourth amendment also concerns itself with what is regarded as a reasonable expectation of privacy.
In certain circumstances, an individual would not have a reasonable expectation of privacy and so it may not fall under the purview of the Fourth amendment.
Laws continue to evolve and the Constitution continues to be subjected to evaluation and interpretation.
A warrant must be obtained in order to search or seize.
Officers must also establish probable cause to suggest that they have enough evidence against a suspect to authorize, issuance of a warrant.
In some instances, police officers can conduct warrantless searches and seizures.
One type of warrantless seizure is known as a Terry stop or a stop-and-frisk.
In these unique circumstances, law enforcement only need have "reasonable suspicion" not probable cause, to believe that a person has committed a crime.
The Fifth Amendment contends that no person "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself".
As such, the Fifth Amendment provides defendants the constitutional protection of refusing to testify against themselves.
The Fifth Amendment also requires that a defendant is provided due process at all stages of the the legal process.
Due process ensures fairness in all legal matters.
In Miranda v. Arizona (1966), the Supreme Court ruled that before individuals in police custody are questioned, they must be provided clarity about their constitutional rights.
However, this warning is only necessary when an individual is in police custody and police officers are intending to interrogate or question the individual.
It is further only specific to testimonial statement evidence made by the suspect.
If a suspect is read their Miranda rights and does not respond, police officers can still continue to question the suspect and any information obtained, can be admissible.
There is an additional public safety exception to the Miranda rule as well.
In other words, police do not have to provide a Miranda warning if there is an immediate threat to public safety.
If the suspect provides any statements under this public safety exception, statements can be admissible against that individual at trial.
The Sixth amendment provides defendants many constitutional protections but.
Wrongful Convictions
The document discusses wrongful convictions in the American criminal justice system. It notes that the system has a long history of wrongful convictions dating back centuries. Wrongful convictions occur when an innocent person is convicted of a crime. African Americans are more likely than Caucasians to be wrongfully convicted of murder, sexual assault, and drug-related crimes. From 1989 to 2016, 47% of the nearly 1,900 documented wrongful conviction cases involved black defendants who were later exonerated. The document also discusses the case of Leighton Hay, who was wrongfully convicted of murder and imprisoned for 12 years before his innocence was recognized.
WOLA - Maureen Meyer - DDHH en México
Maureen Meyer testified before the US Congress on human rights in Mexico. She summarized that while Mexico has made reforms to protect human rights, violations continue such as torture, arbitrary detentions and disappearances. Police and judicial reforms have had some success at the state level but implementation remains slow. Strong accountability mechanisms are still needed to prevent abuses by police and military, and practices like accepting confessions obtained through torture still persist. US support for continued reforms is important to strengthening the rule of law in Mexico.
Law Enforcement Ethics Police Subculture and the Code of Silence_Anderson_Ric...
This document discusses the police subculture and code of silence. It begins by explaining how the police subculture has developed separately from mainstream society due to officers' unique authority to use force. While most officers behave ethically, the code of silence protects some misconduct like excessive force or sexual abuse. The document then examines two specific issues - police sexual misconduct against vulnerable women in the criminal justice system, and considerations around whistleblowing and maintaining an ethical work environment to discourage the code of silence.
The Contentious Margin
The document discusses the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" by the CIA against detainees following 9/11, which were later determined to constitute torture. It describes how the Bush administration sought to justify these techniques by claiming they had "benign intent" and were not torture. However, these techniques inflicted severe pain and suffering and resulted in false intelligence. The document examines the legal gray area created by designating detainees as "unlawful enemy combatants" and holding them in Guantanamo Bay. It concludes that the U.S. fell into committing atrocious and unspeakable acts through the use of torture.

Corruption in Correctional System

Our correctional system in the United States of America has been under critical public scrutiny. Reports from commissions and individuals indicate that the reality in these centers has been changing and administrators of these centers are working day and night towards making these institutions the best so as to meet their objectives. As a matter of fact, our correctional centers are increasingly changing because of the ongoing environmental changes and other changes such as program issues, overcrowding, security issues, personnel management, legal issues, technological changes, privatization, and budgetary concerns among others. This essay will examine corruption among administrators and security personnel in the correctional centers within the United States of America.
Correctional systems have been designed in such a way that they handle and punish offenders or those individuals who break laws in different ways. Some of these systems are community based whereby an individual who has committed a certain crime is put into a confinement and he/she is made to provide community service as he/she undergoes reformation. In other centers, individuals or offenders of different crimes are fined and if the individual will not be able to raise enough funds to pay for his/her fine then such an individual is put under confinement where he/she will serve a jail term depending on the type of crime he/she had committed. Offenders of different criminal activities are always placed under half way houses where they serve as under probation before being shipped to the prison (Abadinsky, 2014).
More often than not, the U.S Department of Correction in collaboration with the Federal government, State government and with the Local government have been providing resources and facilities to the different correctional centers that have been established in the United States of America. In addition to this, the department provides guidance and counseling as well as educational programs to these individuals as part of the reformation process.
Reports indicate that, corrupt practices occurring behind correctional systems in the United States of America has reached to the general public. These practices range from pilferage and theft to drug trafficking involving the inmates, the administrators and the police force in these centers. To this effect, corruption in the correctional systems has been seen as the weakening of the established correctional practices and the established ethics which are acting as the guiding principles. Professionals have identified three types of corruption in the correctional system within the United States of America. Theft as corrupt practice in the correctional systems occurs when reports of items belonging to the staff members as well as those belonging to the inmates are ...

Criminal justice can be said to be the system of governmental institutions and practices
aimed at holding up social control, crime mitigation and deterring, for example giving penalties
to criminals and also rehabilitating them. The career mostly falls in between legal and law
enforcement. Law enforcement is the ones dealing with the criminal behavior causes and societal
response to crime, for example, criminology, and forensic psychology. Policing also falls in this
category. The current issue in the criminal justice field is The Punishment and Criminalization of
young people and children (Martin & Philbin, 1980).
Many children aged 13 and 14 years in the United States who have undergone the
prosecution for adults had continued being sentenced to life imprisonment with no signs of
parole. However, the juveniles continue to being imprisoned despite the fact that their sentence is
unconstitutional hence leading to their death with no review and scrutiny or follow up.
According to (EJI) Equal Justice Initiative undertook in the year 2008, about seventy-three cases
showing that juveniles have died in prison through condemnation followed by minimal review
have been documented. The courts did not consider that the children were young making the
sentences imposed on them mandatory. Most of the children were combined with the crimes
which had been committed by adults and old teenagers leading to the involvement of two-thirds
of children of a younger age (Goodman & Grimming, 2007).
The difference between older teens and young children should then be observed. Below
are then some problems which make this situation to keep on growing. Influence from
dysfunctional backgrounds. This is because of exposure to violence, like mostly most of them
have been subjected to sexual abuse; they have been abandoned or have even been neglected.
Secondly, their parents are drug and dealers, addicts, sex workers and alcoholics. This then

makes it clear that these children have been brought up in poor places with lethal violence, where
their parents were not able to afford safety, health and luxuries that every child would require.
It was therefore brought into conclusion by Oklahoma that when a person is a youth,
they are vulnerable to psychological damage and influence, and this has been taken to be more
than a chronological fact. Moreover, the children who have gone through this have some things
in common which disturb them. Protection and treatment from health care providers, police
failure, foster systems, family courts and security agencies of young children. Most of the crimes
committed by these children are mostly.
Rachels Law Abmpegasus
Rachel's Law was passed in Florida in response to the death of Rachel Hoffman, who was killed while acting as a confidential informant. The law establishes new requirements for law enforcement when using confidential informants, such as disclosing risks, allowing legal counsel, establishing safety procedures, and conducting reviews. Software like abmpegasus can help agencies implement the law by facilitating documentation, authorization workflows, risk assessments, and secure record-keeping for confidential informants. While some call for ending the use of informants, proper management through technology is needed to mitigate risks and allow their valuable use against organized crime.
Police Misconduct
This document summarizes a paper about police misconduct. It begins by defining police misconduct as actions like false confessions, false arrests, evidence tampering, and lying under oath. It then discusses how police crimes have often gone unreported in the past with few punishments. The document calls for an end to wrongful actions by police officers. It provides some examples of police misconduct cases, including one where officers planted drugs and lied in their reports, leading to charges of manslaughter. The document also discusses the "blue code of silence" where police officers cover for each other's misdeeds.
250 WORDS EACH Q. 1. Correctional employees are responsible fo.docx
250 WORDS EACH
Q. 1. Correctional employees are responsible for the functionality of the jail or prison in which they are assigned to. They are divided into two sections the security and the program section. On the security side they are responsible for the movement of all inmates and the day to day lives of the inmates. “In this role, the security staff serves as a quasi-court system within the prison facility by hearing testimony related to the alleged violation, both from the inmate, as well as witnesses that might be correctional staff members or other inmates” (APUS). They are able to hand down punishments and infractions as they see and will offer disciplinary actions as needed. They are also responsible for the safety of the inmates as well. On the other side of the correctional role is the program role. They are responsible for rehab and re integrate these inmates back into society. They can pinpoint needs and make a plan to help them, this includes levels of security, what programs they can take and what will make them productive members of society. While these staff members encounter a variety of inmates and people they also have stress which adds to their daily life. They are in regular contact with inmates, some which can be violent and high risk inmates. They are held in the same conditions as the inmates and are subject to restricted access and sensitive information.
When people are held with those who are criminals in any capacity for long periods of time there is corruption that can happen in very different ways some minimal and some bigger. “The level of compensation for staff working in many correctional agencies is not very high. Add to that the fact that these individuals are interacting on a regular basis with criminals that are willing to pay for assistance with smuggling in prohibited items and the temptation for officer corruption becomes high” (APUS). While correctional officers should be held to a higher standard there are different levels of corruption that happens. Inmates knowing that lower wages are paid to staff members they are able to pay them money to do things such as smuggle goods into the prison, contraband such as cell phones, extra privileges within the prison like outside time, perhaps better jobs and extra perks for money. You will also see things where there is sexual relations amongst prisoners and staff members. Another would be prisoners who want to manipulate the guards by offering them money so they are able to injure other inmates, they are able to control things and get away with offences. Money seems to be the motivator to this, there is also the factor of possibly knowing one another which is why things like rings, tattoos and other personal identifiers are used in order to have the inmates not be able to blackmail officers or use that against them.
I think that training is the number one aid to the issue. Being able to identify as a supervisor if a guard is having too much contact wit.
Jeffrey powell print DCL 25-April-2012
The document discusses the Dear Colleague Letter issued in April 2011 by the Department of Education regarding institutional responses to sexual harassment, including acts of sexual violence under Title IX. It summarizes the letter's directives that institutions must use a preponderance of evidence standard in investigations, provide equitable processes for complainants and respondents, conduct prompt thorough impartial investigations, and determine whether to notify law enforcement. The document examines how the letter reframed the balance between individual rights and institutional responsibilities regarding sexual misconduct and the effects on schools' policies, procedures, and training.

Policing Transparency
INTRODUCTION: TOWN VS. GOWN
When affluent university campuses sit in the urban core of major metropolitan areas, harmony between these institutions and local community members can be challenging. Deploying university policing authority in neighborhoods adjoining campus also predictably spurs tension and conflict. Likewise, the social soft sell that elite universities remediate area blight complicates stakeholder relationships.
As private universities have sought to expand their patrol and arrest jurisdiction into surrounding residential areas, legitimate questions arise over how non-governmental actors can be given the authority to exercise the ultimate governmental power -- the power to use deadly force and to take away freedom -- without governmental accountability. This sort of creeping jurisdiction can raise fears about policing and the depth of public knowledge about criminal justice policy and practice.
In recent years, community leaders in Baltimore and Chicago have pressed local private universities for greater transparency in how they exercise policing authority. Civic organizers and grassroots political groups produced noteworthy success in Baltimore, where private Johns Hopkins University was forced to accept transparency concessions in exchange for policing authority, responding to concerns raised by community stakeholders. But transparency gains have proven more challenging to achieve in Chicago. These experiences bring into focus both the importance of public accountability in policing as well as the resistance of non-governmental actors to accepting .
Prisons for Profits
1. The report examines the privatization of the American prison system and its impact on the criminal justice system.
2. Private prisons now make up around 2% of the total prison population in the US and generate billions in annual revenue for the two largest private prison companies.
3. While private prisons may save state and local governments around 50% in expenses, they also create incentives to cut costs and have been shown to have higher rates of violence and staff turnover due to lower pay.

The document summarizes the annotated bibliography portion of a paper on human trafficking. It examines the issue through the lenses of human resources and communication studies. It provides annotations for 6 sources on law enforcement training needs, statistics on human trafficking, training hospital staff to identify victims, an account from a survivor, increased government funding to combat trafficking, and long-term impacts on victims. The sources cover the quantitative and qualitative aspects of theories regarding human trafficking.
Protecting Students On and Off Campus- Expanding The Jeanne Clery Act
The document discusses expanding the Jeanne Clery Act to better protect students from sexual assault. Currently, the Act only requires universities to disclose crimes that occur on campus, leaving out assaults that happen off campus even if the victims are enrolled students. Most students live off campus, so the Act fails to capture accurate crime statistics. Expanding it to include all enrolled students, whether on or off campus, would better inform students and society about the true extent of sexual assault around universities. However, some experts argue the Clery Act has not reduced campus crime as intended. Improving safety programs may better help students than just publishing crime statistics.
Whistleblowers In Government
This document summarizes a paper about whistleblowing in government. It discusses how whistleblowing involves exposing illegal, unethical or fraudulent practices within an organization. It explores the motivation behind whistleblowing and its effects on government through examining concepts like discretion and administrative ethics principles. It analyzes a case study of James Alderson, a financial officer who blew the whistle on Medicare fraud involving hundreds of millions of dollars. It compares whistleblowers to rescuers and discusses narratives like imagined consequences and historical role that compel whistleblowers' choiceless choice to report issues.
Final Re-Do Paper ASOC 220
The document provides an introduction and research plan for a study examining the relationship between prison overcrowding and deviant prisoner behaviors. The researcher aims to survey prison wardens on the West and East Coasts to understand how overcrowding may influence behaviors like violence, substance abuse, and suicide attempts. A literature review cites sources finding crowding increases stress and violations. The researcher outlines plans for quantitative data collection through systematic sampling and surveys of wardens, noting potential issues like response bias. Variables of crowding and behaviors will be measured by ranking frequency. Ethical considerations involve avoiding reactivity and coercing responses.
FinalSFD
This document discusses issues with Title IX campus sexual assault investigations and how they can impact future criminal prosecutions. It notes that campus investigators are not required to have trauma-informed training, which can result in inaccurate or inconsistent victim statements that are then used to impeach victims. The document argues that campuses should ensure anyone taking victim statements has trauma training, and limit interviews and record statements to create higher quality evidence and minimize retraumatization. Interviews with experts in law enforcement and Title IX support the need for trauma-informed practices in campus sexual assault investigations.

Introduction
Human trafficking has become a major concern today, which entails the illegal trade of individuals and for exploitation or commercial gain. It can be considered modern-day slavery where force, fraud, or coercion obtain an individual for labor or commercial sex. As a result of these concerns, the United States of America established human trafficking taskforces to help address this issue. Human trafficking task forces are multidisciplinary teams that have been created to provide numerous services and resources to victims. These taskforces have the responsibility of investigating and prosecuting persons who engage in human trafficking. Phoenix, a city located in Arizona, has its own human trafficking task force, which aids in the fight against human trafficking. This task force has had several success stories on the issue of human trafficking, where they have saved numerous victims and prosecuted a large number of individuals who participate in human trafficking (Fordyce, 2012). Although they have numerous successes, this task force has to deal with several challenges in their line of work.
Problem Statement
The Human Trafficking Task Force in Phoenix, Arizona, has had numerous successes fighting against human trafficking. However, this task force has to deal with numerous challenges, making it difficult to fight human trafficking effectively and efficiently (Fordyce, 2012). The study subjects will be members of the human trafficking task force in Phoenix, Arizona, and the study aims to start from January 2022 to July 2022. The data will be collected from the headquarters of the Human Trafficking Task Force in Phoenix to identify the challenges which these members face. This study is important because it will identify the challenges the task force is dealing with to establish the strategies and resources needed to overcome these challenges. Therefore it is important to identify these challenges and provide recommendations on how to address them.

The document discusses the issue of parental rights regarding home schooling. It outlines John Locke's argument that education is primarily a parental right rather than a state right. The US Supreme Court has upheld the basic parental right to educate children at home. However, some court cases created confusion about this right. Ultimately, the Supreme Court has ruled that states cannot infringe on parental religious convictions regarding education. The document argues that home schooling allows families to instill virtues and morality while public schools face issues like bullying. It also discusses home schooling practices in Australia related to rural isolation.

Sgt. Koon and other LAPD officers responded to apprehend Rodney King, who had led police on a high-speed chase. King was behaving erratically and did not comply with officers' commands. Koon exhausted non-lethal tactics like tasers and baton strikes to subdue King. The LAPD had previously banned chokeholds, limiting officers' options. At trial one year later, the defense used medical evidence and frame-by-frame analysis of video to show that officers' actions were justified against a dangerous suspect under the influence of PCP. The prosecution failed to prove its case of excessive force, and the officers were acquitted.

Following the 9/11 attacks, the US government implemented new legislation and programs to enhance security of the US maritime system. This included the Container Security Initiative, which aimed to screen high-risk cargo containers before arrival at US ports. New regulations like ISPS and MTSA required facilities, ships, and companies to follow security guidelines and appoint security officers. The Coast Guard also issued rules on vessel and facility security plans. However, complying with these new mandates was very costly for ports and facilities, who felt more funding was needed to implement all the required physical and personnel security upgrades.
Fault Lines_Dying Inside_Elderly in Prisons_Anderson_Richard
This document discusses the growing issue of elderly inmates in American prisons. Due to tougher sentencing laws over the past few decades, the prison population has aged significantly. Now over 10% of inmates are over 55 years old and require more medical care, costing significantly more than younger inmates. As inmates continue aging in prison, questions arise around whether they still pose a threat to society and if compassionate release should be considered. However, victims' families may oppose releases. With tight budgets, prisons struggle to provide adequate healthcare and accommodations for elderly and ill inmates. Some prisons are attempting reforms like special medical units and training inmates to care for the elderly, but challenges around cost, capacity, and compassion remain.
Police Pursuits_Anderson Richard
This document discusses police pursuits and the risks they pose. It notes that while police pursuits were once thought to result in accidents 25% of the time, more recent studies show the rates are actually around 1% fatalities and 29% accidents. The document examines police pursuit policies and training, finding a lack of standardization and specific pursuit training. It also explores personality traits that may make officers more likely to engage in risky pursuits. The conclusion advocates for policy revisions, increased training, and new technologies to help reduce injuries from police pursuits.
Illegal Drug Use_Illegal Prostitution_and Money Laundering_Anderson_Richard
Illegal drug use, prostitution, and money laundering are serious problems that negatively impact society. Illegal drug use is defined in penal codes and contributes to violence and relationship difficulties. Incarcerated individuals often abuse drugs to cope with prison violence and stress. Prostitution programs now focus on buyers to reduce demand and associated street problems. Money laundering involves placing illegally gained money into banks and moving it to hide origins, with an estimated $1 trillion laundered annually using modern technology. Reducing these criminal activities would help create a safer environment.
Police and FBI Training_Anderson_Richard
American police and FBI training involves three main phases: basic academy training, field training/on-the-job training, and in-service training to update officers. State and local police attend a basic academy for approximately 628 hours over 16 weeks covering subjects like weapons, investigations, and law. They then undergo 13 weeks of field training with veteran officers. The FBI trains its own agents at the Quantico facility in Virginia, focusing on areas like new agent training, intelligence, and leadership. Both aim to provide effective cognitive and practical job training to address evolving criminal threats.

Corruption in Corrections Article Review_Anderson_Richard

- 2. Corruption in Corrections 2 Abstract Corruption in America's correctional systems has existed in the past and to some extent it remains a problem today, as a review of a Miami Herald article written March 10, 2015, by Mary Ellen Klas and Julie K. Brown, demonstrates. Several former and current inspectors of the Franklin Correctional Institution have presented charges against agency officials for interfering with their investigation into possible corrupt occurrences within several Florida correctional facilities. This paper reviews the allegations and underlying issues regarding corruption within prison facilities, and suggests a course of action so as to eliminate or at the very least help prevent further similar corrupt practices and/or incidents in the future.
- 3. Corruption in Corrections 3 In a Miami Herald news article, dated 10 May, 2015, Mary Ellen Klas and Julie K. Brown report that several current and former inspectors have testified to lawmakers over concerns of possible corruption at the Franklin Correctional Institution. Investigators claim supervisors have ordered subordinates to ignore evidence of wrongdoing within the Franklin prison. Those testifying have also stated there is medical neglect, violence by security threat groups, and possible organized crime influences. One death has already been noted, and the suggestion of neglect has been presented. Department of Corrections Secretary Julie Jones suggests the claims of incidents are few and occurred well into the past, and perhaps these should be reasons not to give them much thought. There are also claims that those individuals raising concerns about corruption are out of line with regards to their actual occupational responsibilities. More efficient oversight into the prison's functions has been suggested (Klas & Brown).
- 4. Corruption in Corrections 4 Mary Ellen Klas and Julie Brown have written an article for the Miami Herald, dated 10 May, 2015, in which several current and former inspectors of the Franklin Correctional Institution claim incidents of corruption have occurred within that facility by officers and supervisors. Inspectors have testified to lawmakers that agency officials have interfered by telling officers to ignore evidence of wrongdoing by officers with regards to neglect of inmate medical needs, abuse of inmates, security threat group violence (gangs), and the possibility of organized crime influences. Ignoring aspects of corruption was justified with the excuse and reasoning that the agency would get a "black eye," were the illegal events brought to light (Klas & Brown, 2015). The Senate Criminal Justice Committee listened to investigators state that they were advised by officials to withhold information from prosecutors and close ongoing investigations. John Ulm, one of the testifying investigators and member of the Inspector General's office, admitted that their organization can no longer police themselves, and oversight was needed. Ulm claims that after being told to lay off certain cases, and pursued them anyway as a matter of ethical conduct, officials in higher ranking in his office were threatened and/or retaliated against in other ways. One specific case under investigation is the mysterious death of Randall Jordan- Aparo, a 27-year-old inmate who, according to Ulm and others investigating officer's accounts of the incident, died from being repeatedly gassed inside his isolation cell. Fabrication of reports sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement concerning Aparo's death were felt to have occurred. Ulm also testified that the Franklin facility is experiencing daily events of organized crime involvement, murder, assaults, and other forms of horrible victimization which is going unchecked (Klas & Brown, 2015).
- 5. Corruption in Corrections 5 Other incidents include claims by Gulf County Sheriff Mike Harrison being told not to pursue a case due to possible criminal charges being assessed at officials, and another event which may have landed a warden at Calhoun Correctional Institution in hot water over suspected intimidation of a witness over contraband smuggling within that facility. Harrison further testified that two inmates at the Jackson Correctional Institution came close to losing their lives due to medical neglect by a nurse that supposedly the warden was having an affair with (Klas & Brown, 2015). In defense of the corrections functions in general, Department of Corrections Secretary, Julie Jones, stated that these incidents occurred in the past; perhaps suggesting they are no longer relevant, but also admitted that the organization in question has always been under-funded as well as understaffed. Inspector Aubrey Land supported the notion that poor staffing and a lack of funding makes it difficult for employees to do their jobs with desired effectiveness. And, when they (Land and peers) make suggestions to resolve problems, their ideas fall on deaf ears (Klas & Brown, 2015). Clearly, when inmates are dying from being gassed in their cells, and several supervisors are risking their jobs by presenting evidence suggesting improvement in managerial practices are necessary, a closer look into why these events are occurring is also needed. The underlying issues related to the charges of corruption in the Klas & Brown article suggest unethical practices are occurring in a few Florida prisons, and perhaps elsewhere, have to do with the leadership of officials, from warden on down, in guiding their officers appropriately to remain ethical in their words and actions, and take seriously the obligations they owe to themselves, the inmates, the correctional systems in general, and to the families of incarcerated

Another underlying issue is the incomprehensible notion that inspectors of baseline correctional officer actions are being interfered with by supervising personnel. Inspectors need impunity to report what they have discovered, and any interference at all for whatever reason should be dealt with swiftly, and incorporate changes must be prompltly attended to. A good course of action would be for further ongoing investigations by outside agencies into the allegations being levied by the investigators in the many Florida institutions mentioned in the Klas and Brown article. A review of all officers employed by these facilities should be undertaken, and a closer look at inmate grievances should be reviewed as well. Previous training methods for the officers suggested of wrongdoing should also be looked into, and current training methods should be instituted. As far as funding issues, the entire country is experiencing serious difficulties in this arena, and should not be viewed as a current escape route for any problems that are surfacing. Non-money centered solutions, such as more meetings, better communication, and stress support group sessions, need to be presented until ways of bringing in more cash can occur. Areas in which this article relates to elements of this corrections class include, but are not limited to, ethical and strong leadership qualities among all agencies involved with American criminal justice systems is important to strive for. Law enforcement organizations, as Sir Robert Peel may have agreed, need outstanding law abiding individuals who represent, and conduct themselves, according to high standards of behavior. There appears to be a question about this according to some Florida law enforcement inspectors with regards to a few of their prisons. Also, regular compliance checks, good medical staffing, the best possible recruiting methods,

Corruption in Corrections 7 ongoing training according to the best known current practices, and an effort toward better communication between prison staffs is essential to minimize the many problems America's overcrowded prison systems experience in contemporary society (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2011, p. 189). Another aspect where class content and the article collide is with regards to intermediate sanctioning. In prison, isolation is employed as such; however, in the case of Randall Jordan- Aparo, it became a death chamber, and the exact circumstances and causes for his eventual demise should be thoroughly investigated, without any interference from anyone inside or outside the facility.
