Controlling or Coercive Behaviour in Relationships: Making Legislation Work M...IBB Law
Mention domestic abuse and many will immediately think of visible bruises, scars and marks on a victim. Yet domestic abuse is not only physical. Psychological, emotional and financial abuse are all types of domestic abuse categorised under coercive or controlling behaviour. Each can result in a victim being isolated from their friends and family; being controlled over aspects of their everyday life, such as where they can
go, who they can see, what they can wear and when they can sleep; and controlling their finances.

FINDINGS FROM THE 2016 CATO INSTITUTE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SUR.docxgreg1eden90113
FINDINGS FROM THE 2016 CATO INSTITUTE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SURVEY 1
Overview
Stark racial and partisan divides in favorability toward police, but no group is
“anti-cop”
While 68% of white Americans have a favorable view of the police, only 40% of
African Americans and 59% of Hispanics have a favorable view.1 Attitudes have
changed little since the 1970s when 67% of whites and 43% of blacks reported
favorable views of the police.2 Racial minorities do not have monolithic attitudes
toward the police. This report finds that Hispanics’ perceptions of police occupy
a “middle ground” between black and white Americans’ views.
Republicans (81%) are far more favorable toward the police than independents
(59%) and Democrats (59%). Nevertheless, majorities of all three groups share a
favorable view.
• Confidence gaps matter: Groups who feel less favorable toward local law
enforcement are less certain they would report a crime they witnessed.
For instance, black and Hispanic Americans are more than 20 points less
likely than white Americans to say they definitely would report a crime.
Research finds that when the police have legitimacy, the law has
legitimacy, which encourages compliance and cooperation.3
• No group is “anti-cop”: Although some groups have less positive views of
the police, survey findings weaken the assertion that these groups are
“anti-cop.” For instance, few individuals have “unfavorable” views of law
enforcement. Instead, 40% of African Americans, 28% of Hispanics, and
18% of whites are conflicted and report having “neutral” feelings toward
the police. A quarter of Democrats and independents and 13% of
Republicans share such feelings.

Abstract
Analysis of research regarding the criminal justice and racial profiling reveals that the system basically targets the African males. Recent research conducted by the African Civil Liberation Union (ACLU) and Mary Whinser from the School of Law in the University of Washington clearly reveal that the Criminal Justice System targets the African males when profiled through the race. The two researchers reveal that there although it is argued that racism has greatly decreased in the United States there still exist some racial disparities in various stages of the criminal justice system. The results of the researchers show that there is a need for reviewing the current criminal justice system in order to minimize racism that exists in the system. The current policies that exist in the criminal justice system need to be changed in order to change the face of the system that is seen to target the African males.

Racial Disparities in the Criminal Justice System
April 9, 2020
The primary duties of Police Officers (lower case) are to enforce the law, protect people, protect property, and patrol around to prevent incidents from happening (cite source) . The Criminal Justice (lower case) system is broken, and people of color are treated unequally. Police officers are influencing racial biases by their judgment of suspicion. In the courtroom, race plays a big role in decision making on how much time the individual serves. Racial Police biases are the leading cause of detention within for African Americans in America.
Police stops are caused by four mechanisms, which are racial profiling, stereotyping, cognitive bias, and being prejudice towards an individual (source). Police officers are makingconduct police stops with a lack of evidence in violation of the_____ amendment Amendments (state the specific amendment officers violate when making unlawful stops). According to Kenne (2017), Terry v. Ohio (ital) was a violation of the Fourth Amendment (Please restate this. The court case addressed a violation of the 4th A) Police Officers may stop a suspect on the street and frisk him or her without probable cause if the police officer believes the individual had committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. In Terry v. Ohio, police officers did an unreasonable search and seizure, and it was noticed that the police stop might be considered with the influence of racial bias (source). Discuss the four mechanisms
The Fourth Amendment protects their homes, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable search and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, upon probable cause. A search is a procedure led by approved operators of the law experiencing part or the entirety of a person's property, searching for explicit things that are identified with the wrongdoing that they are motivated to accept has been submitted. A seizure occurs if the officials claim things during the search. In Terry v. Ohio was an African American man that were unlawfully searched and seizers. Proofread
In Whren v. United States, the police officers violated the Fourth Amendment. Police officers used a traffic violation to stop these men. According to Keene (2017), The Police officer's racial bias may be influencing the officer's perceptions and judgments of the individual's behavior. The Fourth Amendment does require a balancing test between a search and seizures, and the harm it might cause the individual. There was nothing about the traffic violation that was harmful towards the officer for them to persuade the search and seizures, which is why the officers violated the Fourth Amendment.
A Traffic violation is an act or omission that’s prohibited by the law but is not a crime. Speeding, failing to stop or yield, falling to put your signal, seat belt violations, etc. are tra.

In 2014, we live in a world with a media saturated culture. This is the era of digital news services, of 24-hour news channels, free newspapers, and even media based applications. For the majority of us, the way in which we learn about the world outside our personal perception is through the consumption of news, mainly still through broadcast or print (OFCOM 2007). Various forms of media has fed the public statistics that created a sense of stereotyping for each particular race. For example, the media and those on film, such as politics and leaders of the government, link together race and crime, which conveys a criminal image of the public’s consumption (St. John & Heald-Moore, 1995). Since race and crime are tied together, when one thinks of a crime, hears about a crime, or when crime is being reported, race is usually associated with it. In the American society, a frequent representation of crime is that it is majorly committed by African- Americans. The view of African Americans has been distorted and twisted by the media. Without question, almost everything that is being covered by the media is believed by most of society and it becomes their actual perceptual reality. Broadcast media and other various forms of media has a history for portraying African Americans in a biased manner, as if they were mostly reported involved in crime, drugs, or acts of violence. This has led to many cases of stereotyping, racial profiling, police brutality, prejudice, inhumane acts and has brain washed most of our society into believing that almost every African American is mischievous or a threat to their well-being. African Americans are unjustly, as well as unrealistically depicted on broadcast news and various other types of mass media. These negative connotations affects more than just African- Americans but also every other culture that exists in America.
African Americans have been associated with crime for quite some time. It was not until some in the 1970’s and early 1980s that the popular stereotype of the young black man evolved in the eyes of many from a petty thief or rapist into the notorious , malicious criminal predators, or what Kathery Russel ( 2002) has argued, is the world recognized “ criminalblackman”. Within the last few decades there have been controversial law enforcement practices of racial profiling. Law enforcement officials pursue minorities in an attempt to increase the likely hood of catching illegal activity or the predetermined act of illegal activity, which is part of a consequence from the racial profiling that the media has inflicted upon society. The questionable practices has led to negative effects on blacks. To the African American culture law officials are deemed more criminal or more of a threat than what the media and statistics has condemned blacks to be. The after math, after the many years of harassment, African ...

Title: Equal Rights Proposition Outline: Police Brutality towards African AmericansA. Police Brutality Against African-Americans.a. Police brutality against African-Americans is not a new issue. It has been happening throughout history and needs to be stopped. Police brutality is prematurely ending and/or effecting the lives and communities of many African-Americans. b. This needless violence causes tremendous strain on the affected families mental and physical well-being, but also African-Americans as a whole. These actions bare the weight the United States history of violence against African-Americans and reflect the shortcomings of the criminal justice system. c. Whether the brutality is intentional or not, it sends out the message that police does not value the health, well-being, and lives of African-Americans. This is not a message that should be sent and police brutality against African American must be stopped at all costs. B. Issues, challenges, and opportunities experienced by this group in the labor forcea. Throughout history African-Americans have had a tough time in the labor force. There has been some progress, but unequal employment opportunities continue to be standard operating procedure for many African American men and women. b. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the African American unemployment rate is the lowest in history. However, they continue to face problems and challenges which are often imposed because of a lack of understanding or negative attitudes brought on racial biases although they possess the same or higher-level education than their counterparts. c. African-Americans must deal with being pushed into minority positions in meaningless jobs, not being given access to the same networks as their coworkers, working twice as hard for less wages, not being given the same opportunities for career advancements and promotion, and various other forms of discrimination.C. How society has constructed this group's identitya. The African American population in this country has always been a minority. African Americans started out in this country as slaves, and even with the abolishment of slavery and the civil rights movement, society still perceives this group as less than. b. African-Americans are seen to be associated with drugs since many of this minority live in impoverished areas where drugs are abundant. In recent years, there has been a significant focus on African-Americans and the criminal justice system and police brutality (Taylor, 2013). c. Society uses the “War on drugs” as an excuse for overtly racist behavior by law enforcement (Taylor, 2013). Today’s society associate ...

Prosecutors on aggregate don’t seem to seek the death penalty more for black people than white people, though there are some gaping disparities in a few states and in some counties. Instead, the real racial bias when it comes to the death penalty pertains to the race of the victim. Killers of black people rarely get death sentences. White killers of black people get death sentences even less frequently. And far and away, the type of murder most likely to bring a death sentence is a black man who kills a white woman.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports 208,000 people are in state prisons for drug offenses. Of this number, 32 percent are white, and 68 percent are African American or Hispanic.
The link to other forms of profiling suggests that there is something scientific and efficient about racial profiling. The reality is very different. Race is a social construct; not knowable by sight. Racial profiles are both over-inclusive in the sense that many, indeed most, of the people who fit into the category are entirely innocent, and under-inclusive in that many other criminals or terrorists who do not fit the profile will escape police attention. Racial profiling also faces the problems of predictability and evasion; the more predictable police profiles become, the easier it is for perpetrators to adapt to circumvent the profile. The ineffectiveness of racial profiling is illustrated by consistently low hit or arrest rates for policing actions based on racial profiling. There is surprising consistency in data coming out of the USA, the UK and Europe demonstrating similar ‘hit' or arrest rates across racial groups. In several studies, ethnic minorities are less likely to be arrested or have contraband or other ‘seizable' evidence found following a search. This refutes the proposition that minorities are more likely to be involved in crime and illustrates that racial profiling represents an ineffective use of police resources.
Narrow definitions of racial profiling describe situations where actions are based solely on the basis of a person's race or ethnicity. In practice, this has allowed police forces to deny the existence of racial profiling, where activities are legally justifiable but nonetheless racially biased such as the use of pretext traffic stops. Broader definitions recognise that decisions are usually made on a number of factors including race. This wider definition reflects the fact that racial profiling may occur irrespective of whether this is a deliberate policy of targeted minority groups or routine institutional practices. Patterns of profiling can also be seen in discriminatory treatment after a stop has taken place, such decisions to go on to search, more intrusive searches, citations and arrests.
Racial profiling is the use by the police of generalisations based on race, ethnicity, religion ...

Introduction
This article discusses a community program called Kuzânia, in Poland this is designed to keep the youth of Poland occupied in a safe and healthy manner and deterring them from drug use based on accessibility and boredom. This program empowers the youth to use their own methods of problem-solving and create a healthy lifestyle.
Summary
This program’s methodology consists of two parts, one part focuses on individual care, and the other emphasizes the use of group activities. By focusing on these two parts, the youth spend their free time in a satisfying, socially acceptable way. The group aspect reenforces accountability for one another to maintain the integrity of the program. Prior to this program being stood up, younger and younger people were trying drugs for the first time and expanding their drugs of choice. In addition to the rise in clientele, the accessibility to different type of drugs was on the rise as well. Because of this program, 2,600 people from the age of 8 to 18 were taken care of.
Evaluation of Article
In Courtelaney Pass, there were serval drug raids and search warrants that were being conducted in only one part of the city. This resulted in the outrage of community members. The search warrant is an important weapon in the government’s arsenal for investigating suspected criminal activity (Benner, 2002). The use of this tool has been perceived by the public as a way for the government to flex their power over the people. In this instance, the government should be flexing a different muscle and create program similar to that of the Kuzânia. Instead of always going in and getting the criminals, the focus should be shifted to assist the people before they become criminals.
Conclusion and Policy Implications
Poland was successful in creating a program that deterred youth from getting into drugs by curtailing their free time with constructive activities. Courtelaney Pass has created a hostile community environment by addressing only the criminals in the city. If there was more focus on the public, prior to them becoming criminals, the city would see a drop in overall unrest and criminal activity.

This essay is to the young American who are the most frequent users of social media. We at least have witnessed the police brutality against our peers on the basis of their color.
On August 9th 2014, an 18yr old black male by the name Michael Brown was fatally shot by a Caucasian police officer, Darren Wilson in Ferguson Missouri. From accounts of the eye witnesses, Michael was unarmed. Michael brown was shot 12 times with two of the bullets on his right hand possibly having his arms. Earlier on July 12th 2014, Erick Garner, a 43 years old African American died in the hands of police who were arresting him. From the medical report on his death, it was established that he died from choking inflicted on him by the NYPD officer who was arresting him (CNN, 2014). These killings made the public very angry and demonstrations arose from different parts of the country. In Ferguson, unrest continued for a whole week as people tried to present their grievances. The “Black Lives Matters” campaign started with the aim of fighting against the stereotypes on the African American race. The police were accused of disregarding the dignity of black people and thus killing voluntarily. The killings were condemned countrywide and from the demonstration are a clear indication of the people’s anger.
All Lives Matter; what it entails
The Black Lives Matters campaign is a noble campaign. However, the major flaw with the campaign is that most of the supporters think that the victimization is only towards the colored. However, as can be seen from the video on the cited link below, brutality by the police is across all races (You Tube, 2016).
“All Live Matters campaign” is an all-inclusive campaign with the bigger picture of not only black people but the social respect of all human beings in light of law enforcement. The campaign is to sensitive the government and all the law enforcers to be fair in dispensation of their duties. It call for fairness and respect of human life regardless of the race. The recent killings by the police are clear indication of the disrespect of the human life that is slowly being cultivated to a culture. Our country stands for respect of the human life and this serves as a wakeup call for the general public and the governing institutions. The campaign aims at bringing reforms within the police department and ensure that the unfortunate cases will not be repeated again. All Lives Matters Campaign aims at bringing the wrongs within the disciplinary forces to the general public. The hope is to sensitive the law enforcers to accountably dispense their duties and services. Also hopes that all unlawful acts of the police department will be prosecuted and punished. The campaign also sensitizes the general public to respect the rule of law and also defend the constitution by supporting the law enforcer. The call is for everyone to join the ca.

As national civil and human rights organizations and leaders committed to the protection of the rights of African Americans and all Americans, we come together as a unified collective to urgently impress upon elected officials, law enforcement, the legal profession, businesses and all those in this nation interested in social justice, that we must not allow the killing of Michael Brown and other unarmed individuals across this nation to be in vain. As organizational leaders we represent millions across this country who are, as the old saying goes – “sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

Possible Relationship between Crime, Race and SES
When people from one race are stereotyped as criminals the end result will be that this race will begin to commit more crimes in society. Racial stereotypes can lead to greater crimes from the race especially when the rest of society expects them to commit crime. This can be seen in racial profiling practices by police when African Americans are stopped more by police than other races. In America the disparities in the arrests of African Americans and whites is great. Even though African Americans only make up around 15% of the population they make up almost 40% of the entire prison population.
The graph shows that in American society African Americans commit more crimes than White Americans. The problem with the graph is it gives a false impression about the amount of crime actually committed by African Americans versus White Americans. The graphics shows African Americas are responsible for the largest amount of crime creating a link to crime and race. When graphics like this graphic are published it can give a false impression of crime by African Americans leading to the belief that white American commits fewer crimes. This is not the case.
In fact African Americans are profiled by police causing to higher contact with police. If white Americans were stopped at the same rates as the African American then there would be a much higher rate of White Americans being arrested. According to the graph African Americans would be responsible for the largest amount of crime which is very misleading. White Americans make up the largest percentage of people in the United States and are responsible for committing two thirds of all the crimes committed in the country (USDOJ, 2012). Secondly the graph only displays street crimes which completely eliminate the white collar crimes that are prevalently committed by the White Americans.
When stereotypes exist in society it can result in once race being treated unfairly by the police. Racial profiling has become such an extreme problem in society that many police stations across the nation are taking active steps to stop the behavior. Police have a duty to target people engaging in behavior that is criminal not being stopped because their skin happens to be black. When graphics such as this one are published it makes it harder for the public to change this perception. This type of statistical analysis promote racial profiling while ignoring the role white people play in committing crime.

We have to organize to get the Name of a Black County Prosecutoreverywhere there is
a high concentration of Blacks and Hispanics on the General Election Ballot throughout
America. The only way is by joining us and forming our own Independent Party in each
state just for the primary elections, at http://www.politicalindependentparty.com/contact-
us.html
Then in the General Election vote for who you like.
It’s TRUE! Only by working together can we make Dr. King’s dream a reality.
POLICE PRECINCTS GET EXTRA FUNDING FOR EACH NON-VIOLENT
MARIJUANA ARREST OF YOUNG BLACKS BY 11.5 TO 1 RATIO!
Two programs COMPSTAT and Byrne Justice Assistance Grant’s Performance
Measures reap handsome profits to the police precincts for each narcotic arrest they
make!
If another White Cop is shot; Dr. King died for Nothing; we'll we will make his Dream a
reality by using our vote!
The time is NOW; we will no longer wait in line but we MUST TAKE controlof our
own destiny NOW by working to guarantee a Black County Prosecutor, from our new
political party the "Political Independent Party" is guaranteed to be listed in the 2016
General Election on the Ballot in every county across America where there is a
concentration of Black Americans, “ in our inner city neighborhoods”
This is the only way to control unfair Police bias against Blacks; as we have suffered for
decades all across America like United States Attorney General Eric Holder found in
Ferguson, Missouri!
I repeat if you wish; it’s just for the primary elections in every state in America, so we
can get Black Candidates on the General Election Ballot; especially Black County
2. Prosecutors becausethese County prosecutors direct the Police Departments where to
concentrate their efforts; and more important the County Prosecutor’s decidewho to
charge, convict and send to Prison; not the Police. Pick you own Black Communities
leaders to organize our Political Independent Parties all across America and connect
with me on LinkedIn here!
In October, the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota released a report showing
that, in Minneapolis, a black person is 8.86 times more likely to be arrested than a white
personfor disorderly conduct, 7.54 times more likely to be arrested for vagrancy and
11.5 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession
The report found that in Ferguson, though black residents made up 67 percent of the St.
Louis suburb's population, they accounted for 95 percent of all jaywalking charges, 94
percent of all failure to comply charges, 92 percent of all resisting arrest charges, 92
percent of all peace disturbance charges and 89 percent of failure to obey charges.
Offenders are subject to fines for many of these infractions.
But Ferguson is far from the only municipality in the United States with glaring racial
disparities in minority arrest statistics, as the American Civil Liberties Union has
documented.
The law enforcement of Minneapolis has been directed by a Democratic Hennepin
County Attorney Mr. Mike Freeman office to deprioritize enforcement of marijuana
possessionlaws in Black Communities; in addition police will continue their racial
profiling and unconstitutional stop, frisk and search practices because the measure of
their success and productivity is counted by the number of arrests they make for
marijuana possession.

The Ferguson ReportWas Damning, because injustice and racial bias is just Not A
Ferguson Problem!
The scathing Ferguson report released by the Department of Justice last week includes
several jarring statistics that seem to show the Missouri city's police department views
its black residents as a sourceof revenue for the city rather than citizens worthy of
protection.
The report found that in Ferguson, though black residents made up 67 percent of the St.
Louis suburb's population, they accounted for 95 percent of all jaywalking charges, 94
percent of all failure to comply charges, 92 percent of all resisting arrest charges, 92
percent of all peace disturbance charges and 89 percent of failure to obey charges.
Offenders are subject to fines for many of these infractions.

In the General election you still can vote for anyone from the Democratic Party or
Republican Party you wish for President, Senator, Representative but we will have our
Black County Prosecutoron the ballot to elect to guarantee that the policies that our
police departments will be equal for all; so we will never see another murdering of an
unarmed Black teenager; and that the white police officers isn't convicted for murder!
“God Willing he will be charged and convicted because we will not have a White
Prejudice Country Prosecutor, becauseyou will elect a Black City Prosecutorespecially
for St. Louis County who will controlthe city of Ferguson in St. Louis County Missouri,
New York, N.Y. and Minneapolis Minnesota!
Blacks are the easiest and fastest to arrest when targeted by Hennepin County Attorney
Mike Freeman so he look good with hundred of convictions and people sent to prison,
the only problem is that if you are Black and live in Hennepin County you are 9.1 was
now is 11.5 times more likely to be arrested and sent to Prison then if you are White.
Why Hennepin County Attorney Mr. Freeman does not target White people or White
communities?
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, whose practices have aggressively enforced
marijuana laws targeting black people & black communities was convicting & sending
9.1 Blacks for every 1 White but now 11.5 blacks go to prison for every 1 white person
needlessly ensnaring thousands of black people in the criminal justice system at
6. tremendous human and financial costover fifty-million dollars a year of taxpayer’s
money.
