· There is a good portion of our society that feels healthcare should be free as well. Of course, there are pros and cons to both. We can learn from countries with universal healthcare like Canada, Switzerland, and Japan. I think one aspect that the United States must be ready for is the increase in taxes. Though it may seem to be an expensive tax deduction, it may very well balance out, when you consider all the pros. Class - if you were to interview or get more information from countries that have universal healthcare, what do you think they would have to say about the pros and cons? BCJ 4101, Police and Community Relations 1 Course Learning Outcomes for Unit IV Upon completion of this unit, students should be able to: 5. Explain the importance of a good relationship between law enforcement and the media. 6. Discuss police-community relationships regarding the media, gangs, and the process of assimilation. 6.1 Discuss police-community relationships regarding the media. Reading Assignment Chapter 7: Building Partnerships: A Cornerstone of Community Policing Chapter 8: Forming Partnerships with the Media Unit Lesson If you are a fan of some of the older detective shows, the ones that were in black and white or maybe produced just shortly after color television was invented, then you are familiar with the notion of law enforcement having partners. This concept of law enforcement having partners that work with them to investigate crimes, help citizens, and engage in other social activities is embedded in the history of law enforcement. Thus, it should be no surprise that when we talk about community policing, it is necessary for partnerships to be established between various community entities to ensure that the entire community is protected and served by law enforcement. In communities, partnerships take on many forms. They can be between two individuals, an organization and individual, multiple individuals, multiple agencies, or multiple individuals and agencies. The term collaboration is often used to represent the coming together of various agencies and individuals that are working together to achieve a common goal. In addition to working together, these agencies and individuals pool their resources together to help achieve the goal. In order for collaboration to be successful, trust between the individuals and agencies involved must be at the core of that collaboration process. Once trust is at the core, that trust must then be surrounded by the following components to ensure a successful collaboration results: key stakeholders, shared visions and common goals, expertise, teamwork strategies, open communication, motivated partners, sufficient means (resources), and an action plan (Miller, Hess, & Orthmann, 2014). It is imperative that law enforcement agencies make time for the development of partnerships and problem- solving. Changing beats and shift assignments can be a hin.

Police and Public Relations Introduction
The ever present threat of violence and fear perpetrated on individuals and properties is among the concern when regarding public safety and the ability to enjoy freedoms and rights. This is because of the manner they threaten the safety, good governance and the peaceful environment expected in a community. This as such becomes the role of the police to ensure that such occurrences and individuals are kept in check through the use of laws and regulations which end up in provision of security and sustainability. In this aspect, they tend to interact and have relations regarding how they conduct their duties and maintain order. This forms the basic essence of public relations as it seeks to determine how individuals perceive and communicate among each other. There is a need for them to act under the law, and this is set to ensure that they earn respect among the public and create good public relations with the general public.
This is also considering the high number of cases that have been highlighted by the media, which is at the forefront of highlighting information, and current events which have not played well in the light of the public. The relationship has become strenuous with the police losing trust and belief in certain communities. This is the essence of this discussion, which is the relationship between a police and public relations. Public relations goes hand in hand with services that are meant to benefit the general public.
It is because of the public interest by every individual to feel safe under law enforcement. Police relations enable the administration of norms and rules established as they affect both the community at large and the police also (Barker & Hunter, 2011). Proper public relations allow for the ease of policing and administration of justice. As such, it is important to highlight the importance of public relations for the police and community and whether there can be more proactive methods to improve and increase for better relations far from the negative perspective held now.
Analysis and Discussion
1. Goals Associated with the Police Public Relations
On top of those, there is a crucial connection between public relations in police administration is and the manner in which it can be achieved with ease and acceptance to the community being policed. This clearly delineates the manner in which administration of law differs from the infringement of their rights and freedoms (Cordner G., 2010). As such, this topic of discussion should be of interest to educators, learners and other stakeholders in society that may utilize the information herein to get a better relation between literature and education. What is already established is that indeed literature holds a crucial role in education and this will be discussed to what extent herein. Proceeding in that manner will lead to the introduction of information n ...

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose of Document
This paper1 was designed to accompany the Model Policy on
Social Media established by the IACP National Law Enforcement
Policy Center. This paper provides essential background materi-
al and supporting documentation to impart greater understand-
ing of the developmental philosophy and implementation
requirements for the model policy. This material will be of value
to law enforcement executives in their efforts to tailor the model
policy to the requirements and the circumstances of their com-
munities and their law enforcement agencies.
B. Background
Personal Internet access has grown exponentially over the last
decade, facilitating the growth in popularity of the World Wide
Web and, more recently, social media. For the purpose of this dis-
cussion paper, social media is defined as a category of Internet-
based resources that integrate user-generated content and user
participation. Social media tools have become synonymous with
popular culture and new waves of personal communication.
People of all ages and organizations of all types are using these
tools like never before.
Social media has many uses for government agencies includ-
ing law enforcement agencies. The characteristics of community
collaboration and interactive communication that are at the core
of social media, lend directly to the core of democratic culture,
and allow for positive community interaction and effective deliv-
ery of services. Community policing, investigations, and other
strategic initiatives can all be enhanced with the effective use of
social media.
The increase in personal social media usage across demo-
graphics also means that more and more law enforcement per-
sonnel are engaging in these tools on a personal level. Misuse of
social media can lead to harsh consequences for both the indi-
vidual and his or her agency.
The IACP Model Policy on Social Media was established in order
to assist law enforcement agencies in developing appropriate
procedures and guidelines for both official department use of
social media tools as well as personal use by agency employees.
The purpose of this discussion paper is to educate law enforce-
ment managers and executives on the uses and abuses of social
media. As the age of technology continues to expand, the use of
social media should be supervised closely in order to ensure eth-
ical, effective, and lawful police applications.
C. Policy Development
In response to the rise in use of social media, police depart-
ments should draft and implement policies that regulate social
media use among employees, as well as determine proper and
effective department use. The model social media policy was
developed to establish an agency’s position on the utility and
management of social media tools as well as provide guidelines
for personal usage of social media for agency personnel.
As noted above, many of the legal issues surrounding social
media have not yet been settled in the court sy.

When accessing the various issues that are going on in society, the public has been able to deal with various factors but one crime it’s still high and getting rid of it is proving to be a hard task. The policy that will be ideal for the society will be a policy that sensitize the society is the fact that burglary has been occurring every now and then and this is a worrying factor for it is gateway for more serious cries.in the recent past, the public has been suffering with a high number of burglaries which has been occurring when homeowners are not in town or when they are arriving late from work.
Burglaries have been estimated to occur during the early hours of the night and also during the late night. This is because s is normal for people to come home from travel late at night or during the early hours of the night and the neighbors will not be interested on checking what is going on. The policy wants the public to look for each other’s property and help the police to arrest the culprits and stop the crimes altogether. (Walker, 2011)
The policy is informed by the social control theory which works at ensuring that various institutions are resent to help the society to deter crime. Institutions include social places where people can work, religious centers and education centers which will help the people to be educated and also to be busy. Through the people society being busy they will have something to do and hence concentrate on the things that will better their lives. Asking people to be their neighbors who will also be helped by the fact that the social institutions that will be in society will help the public to know each other and form a relationship with each other (Walker, 2011). This will make it easier for the public to identify strangers in the neighborhood.
Anticipated benefits
The benefits that are expected from the policy will include an increase in social connections it where the society will engage with each the on more issues and develop better social policies that will not only increase safety in the society but more regulations that will help n improving the society conditions and value (Walker, 2011). Society gatherings help in formulating plans that will not only answer various questions but also in helping with arrangement and development of structural projects in the society helping with society planning’s.
There is also expected a reduction in idling as people are going to be engaged with other activities and through the provision of various social amenities. The social amenities will also rate employment for the people in society which will lead to a better standard of living in the community.
Benefits
Increased security and reduced crime as by reducing the crime rate and making people more away of what is going on their society will be one of the main benefits.by creating awareness; ...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Social media is constantly inundated with posts that contain rich and timely information about events relevant to public safety
Social media can be used track people as they move from one location to the next
Software can be deployed to identify key words like “gun”, “fight”, and “shoot” to track posts that are indicative of danger and/or criminal activity
The goal of these programs and the partnership with law enforcement is to bypass privacy options of the social media sites
Social media data mining has great potential to make policing more proactive – But is it legal? Ethical?
Authorities are already using social media, such as posts and comments, to store information and to keep tabs on people
Facebook and Instagram oppose this effort

INTRODUCTION
Is social media data mining ethical?
Should the government and law enforcement agencies be legally authorized to undermine resident privacy in an effort to prevent/deter crime?
What is the public’s reasonable expectation of privacy?
Is social data mining considered a warrantless search?
Social media posts are public – does that make it legal and ethical to monitor an individual’s posts over a period of time?
Law enforcement agencies should reveal what data they are collecting, how it is being collected, and what it is being used for
Public education/engagement about this effort should be mandatory!
Clear guidelines and regulations must be imposed on this process!

The use of social media by criminal justice agencies
Introduction
Social media today is a very major part of life. From Facebook to Twitter to Instagram to snap chat to youtube among many other channels, social media has revolutionized the manner in which most things are done in the society today because of the ease of communication that has been provided by the social media platforms. Social media today is a big part of individual's everyday lives and its use in the society today has also revolutionized from being used only as a platform for entertainment to being used by business and very many agencies of the government including the criminal justice agencies(George, 2014). Social media platforms have developed to form one of the most influential channels of communication that ever existed in the history of human beings.
The impact that the social media has to the society is not all good, but there is no doubt that there is a lot of positive that has been brought by the use of social media in most institutions such as the criminal justice agencies. The issue of public safety today has become more sophisticated thanks to social media as communication has been made easier and also faster. The tools of law enforcement have evolved over time from making use of wanted posters to the broad use of the social media platforms. In this paper, we are going to look at the use of social media in criminal justice and the effects that this has had both the good and the bad. The law enforcement agencies today are finding social media a very valuable tool in their quest to protect individuals and to serve the public as we are going to discuss in this paper.
Use of Social Media in Criminal Justice
The Good
Use of the social media in law enforcement agencies has tremendously grown over the past few years, and this trend is as a result of more and more law enforcement agencies embracing and learning how to use the social media and to take advantage of the eased communication to carry out their operations and enhance safety. Below are the ways in which social media has been useful in criminal justice.

Social media has become a very major tool of investigation for the law enforcers. The truth about social media is for every time we use it we leave clues all over the internet like our fingerprints (Brunty, Miller & Helenek, 2014). Following the trend of many individuals putting up a lot of details on their activities on social media investigating crimes has been made easier for police.

ABSTRACT. This paper brings together knowledge from research and
practice to suggest a set of building blocks on which a progressive advo-
cacy program could be developed within a human services agency. Pro-
gressive advocacy is defined as advocacy motivated primarily by a desire
for social change that addresses underlying structural and power inequi-
ties that includes methods to meaningfully engage agency clients or con-
stituents in all aspects ofthe advocacy process. The paper concludes with
a case study showing the development of an advocacy program within a
nonprofit homeless services agency and discusses the constraints on its
development. Implications for research, education, and practice are also
discussed. doi:10.1300/J147v32n02_03 [Article copies available for a fee from

26 ADMINISTRA TION ¡N SOCIAL WORK
human service agencies as providers of shelter, food, clothing, and other
forms of treatment for the symptoms of intractable social problems over-
shadows their important history as social change agents. For example, the
poverty movement, battered women's movement, and gay rights move-
ment were enabled by the participation of nonprofit agencies that served
the needs of those groups. This skewed view of nonprofits as purveyors
of charity but not justice may lead important agency stakeholders like do-
nors. Boards, Executive Directors, and staff, to the conclusion that ad-
vocacy practice is neither worthwhile nor appropriate as a core function
for human service agencies.
The purpose of this paper is to stimulate a greater understanding of
the role and purpose of advocacy as a distinct program within a human
service agency and to lay out a framework for developing one. Advo-
cacy is defined as "any attempt to influence the decisions of any institu-
tional elite on behalf of a collective interest" (Jenkins, 1987, p. 197). The
term progressive advocacy practice refers to advocacy that (1) seeks to
address underlying structural and power inequities as distinct from ad-
vocacy motivated by organizational inter ...

26 ADMINISTRA TION ¡N SOCIAL WORK
human service agencies as providers of shelter, food, clothing, and other
forms of treatment for the symptoms of intractable social problems over-
shadows their important history as social change agents. For example, the
poverty movement, battered women's movement, and gay rights move-
ment were enabled by the participation of nonprofit agencies that served
the needs of those groups. This skewed view of nonprofits as purveyors
of charity but not justice may lead important agency stakeholders like do-
nors. Boards, Executive Directors, and staff, to the conclusion that ad-
vocacy practice is neither worthwhile nor appropriate as a core function
for human service agencies.
The purpose of this paper is to stimulate a greater understanding of
the role and purpose of advocacy as a distinct program within a human
service agency and to lay out a framework for developing one. Advo-
cacy is defined as "any attempt to influence the decisions of any institu-
tional elite on behalf of a collective interest" (Jenkins, 1987, p. 197). The
term progressive advocacy practice refers to advocacy that (1) seeks to
address underlying structural and power inequities as distinct from ad-
vocacy motivated by organizational inter.

Lab 8 -Ballistic Pendulum
Since you will be designing your own procedure you will have two
class periods to take the required data.
The goal of this lab is to measure the speed of a ball that is fired
from a projectile launcher using two different methods. The
Projectile launcher has three different settings, “Short Range,”
“Medium Range” and “Long Range,” however you will only need to
determine the speed for any ONE of these Range settings.
Method 1 involves firing the ball directly into the “Ballistic
Pendulum” shown below in Figure 2 for which limited instructions will be provided. Method 2
is entirely up to your group. While you have significant freedom to design your own procedure,
you will need to worry about the random and systematic uncertainties you are introducing
based on your procedure. This manual will provide a few hints to help reduce a few of those
uncertainties.
The ballistic pendulum pictured in Figure 2 is important canonical problem students study to
explore the conservation of momentum and energy. The ball is fired by the projectile launcher
into a “perfectly inelastic collision” with the pendulum. The pendulum then swings to some
maximum angle which is measured by an Angle Indicator.
Caution: The pendulum has a plastic hinge and Angle Indicator which are both fragile. Be
gentle.
Study the ballistic pendulum carefully. Before we begin, here are a few things to consider and
be aware of in Figure 2:
Projectile launcher
Angle indicator (curved
black bar)
Clamp
Pendulum (can be removed
for measurements)

A. Clamping the ballistic pendulum to the table will reduce random uncertainties in the
speed with which the projectile launcher releases the ball. Similarly, you should check
that the various bolts are snug and that the ball is always fully inside the launcher (not
rolling around inside the barrel of launcher).
B. If the lab bench is not perfectly horizontal the plumb bob and angle indicator will not
read zero degrees before you begin your experiment. You should fix AND/OR account
for these discrepancies.
C. In Figure 3 you will notice a tiny gap between the launcher and the pendulum. This
important gap prevents the launcher from contacting the pendulum directly as the ball
is fired. Without this gap an unknown amount of momentum is transferred from the
launcher directly to the pendulum (in addition to the momentum transferred by the
ball) significantly complicating our experiment.

I Samuel 8-10
Israel Asks for a King
8 When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as Israel’s leaders.[a]2 The
name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and
they served at Beersheba. 3 But his sons did not follow his ways. They turned
aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.
4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at
Ramah. 5 They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your
ways; now appoint a king to lead[b] us, such as all the other nationshave.”
6 But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeasedSamuel; so
he prayed to the LORD. 7 And the LORD told him: “Listen to all that the people
are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected
me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of
Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing
to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them
know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
10 Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him
for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim
as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots
and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to
be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow
his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war
and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be
perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and
vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a
tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and
attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle[c] and
donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks,
and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will
cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the LORD will not
answer you in that day.”

19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We wanta
king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead
us and to go out before us and fight our battles.”
21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before
the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.”
Then Samuel said to the Israelites, “Everyone go back to your own town.”

1 Journal Entry #9 What principle did you select .docx

Journal Entry #9
What principle did you select?
I selected principle 1 of part 1, “Don’t criticize, condemn or complain”.
Who did you interact with?
For this assignment I interacted with my younger cousin.
What was the context?
I had visited my Aunty and she and her husband asked me to stay a while as I was on school
break. They accommodated me and I decided in return to help look after my cousin in the period
when he got out of school and before they got back from work. He is 5 years old and can be quite
the handful.
What did you expect?
I expected that an authoritative approach would easily compel him to follow my instructions so
that the transition from school life into home life would be easy.
What happened?
At first, I used commanding language to get him to change out of his uniform or properly store
his back pack and books before stepping out to play. The first day was difficult and the way I
deal with him were not getting through. On the 2nd day, the same was observed. On the 3rd day,
before he could drop his back pack and run out, I offered to make him a sandwich to eat before
he left to play if he would change and clean up. He rushed up stairs and freshened up. On the
next day, he came home and rushed up to change and freshen up all on his own. I had not
initially offered; but I made him a sandwich regardless.
How did it make you feel?
It made me feel good to be able to get through to my cousin. After this, if I ever needed him to
do something in a better way than previously, I would encourage him onto a different way of
accomplishing the same. I would often offer praise after adoption of the new suggested method
was adopted or offered incentive.
2
What did you learn?
I learnt that in criticizing a person’s action, it is difficult to deter their belief in their methods,
values or beliefs. This usually just gives them the will to justify or defend their positions. It is
almost an exercise in futility to attempt to effect change by complaining, condemning or
criticizing.
What surprised you?
I was surprised by how fast the change was effected after the shift in direction I took to approach
my cousin. In not criticizing his way of doing things any longer and employing a different tactic,
I was able to influence his routine as well as build good rapport with him.
Going forward, how can you apply what you learnt?
Going forward I will attempt to understand that everyone has a belief or image of their own that I
should respect. These beliefs, systems and values are crucial to their inherent dignity and to
criticize or attack this will only fuel conflict.

1 HCA 448 Case 2 for 10042018 Recently, a pat.docx

HCA 448 Case 2 for 10/04/2018
Recently, a patient was transferred to a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) at Methodist Hospital.
Methodist is a 250-bed hospital, which is one of five hospitals in the University Health System.
The patient was a retired 72-year-old man, who recently (i.e., 25 days ago) had a mild heart
attack and was treated and released from a sister hospital, which is in the same system as
Methodist Hospital. An otherwise health individual, Mr. Charlie Johnson (a husband, father of 4,
and grandfather of 12) is in now need or lots of medication and a battery of tests. To the nurses
on shift, it appears that the entire Johnson family is in patient’s room watching the clinical staff
treated Mr. Johnson. The family overhears everything and they want to know what is being done
to (and for) their loved one. In addition, they want to know the meaning behind the various beeps
coming from the many machines attached to Mr. Johnson.
Over the past 10 years, the latest U.S. News and World report has ranked Methodist Hospital as
one of the Best Hospitals for Cardiology & Heart Surgery. However, it is important to note that
over the past few years, the unit has dropped in the rankings.
Katherine Ross RN, the patient care director of the CICU, which has 14 beds, has held this post
for two years. (See Figure) The unit has a $20 million budget. Ms. Ross has worked at Methodist
Hospital for 16 years. She spends 50 percent of her time on patient safety, 25 percent on staffing
and recruitment, and 20 percent with nurses in relation to their satisfaction with the work and
with families relative to their satisfaction with care. Ten percent of Ms. Ross’s time is spent on
administrative duties. According to Ms. Ross, “I like is working with exceptional nurses who are
very smart and do what it takes with limited resources. However, we don’t always feel
empowered, despite the existence of shared governance, a structure I help to coordinate.”
2
Relationship with Nurses on the Unit:
Nurses on the unit work a three day a week, 12 hours a shift. Ms. Ross says, “we did an
employee opinion survey that went to all employees on the unit, 50 people in all, but only 13
responded. Some of them weren’t sure who their supervisor was. The employees aren’t happy
but our patients are happy.” She adds that “my name is on the unit, not the medical director’s. If
anything goes wrong with the unit, they blame it on nursing. Yet I’m brushed off by people
whom I have to deal with outside of the unit. For example, we have a problem with machines
that analyze blood gases. I spoke with the people there about the technology. This was four
weeks ago. It’s a patient safety issue. I sent them e-mails. I need the work to get done, the staff
don’t feel empowered if I’m not empowered. This goes for other departments as well. For
example, respiratory therapy starts using a new ventilator witho.

Chapter 2
Understanding Rhetoric
Goal: To recognize essential components of rhetoric and understand why and how
a text works.
2.1: Understand what rhetoric really is
2.2: Understand five key components of rhetoric
2.3: Understand the rhetorical situation
Chapter 2 Project: Write an essay evaluating how well a text responds to a rhetorical situation
If you instructor has assigned them, you can watch the videos for this chapter,
complete the Reflect and Apply activities, and work on the Chapter Project in Achieve.
2.1: Understand what rhetoric really is
Even if you’ve encountered the word rhetoric, it’s probably not a word you use regularly. These days, it
often gets mentioned when people are unhappy about the words someone has spoken. For example,
when a politician talks about something he or she will accomplish, a political opponent might say,
“That’s just empty rhetoric!” In this sense, rhetoric has a bad reputation. Too often, rhetoric is
associated with someone using language to unjustly elevate their own position or to make their
opposition look bad.
In truth, rhetoric is by itself neither innocent nor powerful. What matters is how people use it.
Rhetoric is the practice of conveying an effective message to an audience. Sounds simple, right? Well, it

is and it isn’t. Rhetoric is what allows people to express themselves clearly, understand one another, and
find solutions to common problems.
Examining the inspirational power of rhetoric
Why do you need to know what rhetoric is and why it can be powerful? Because conveying messages is
what we all do every day of our lives. Even if you don’t consider yourself a rhetor—someone who uses
rhetoric—you are. You write emails, texts, social media posts, game chats, papers for school, and
countless other pieces at home, at work, and at play. When you use rhetoric in each of these situations,
you try to reach an audience and achieve a purpose. Maybe that purpose is to convince a friend that one
approach to solving a problem is better than another. Maybe you’re just trying to understand a different
perspective on a social issue. Or maybe you're just trying to create a connection with someone.
Transferring these communication skills that you already have to college reading and writing adds
another strategy to help you make meaning in the world around you.
We’ve said that rhetoric is the practice of conveying an effective message to an audience. To
consider just how meaningful that is and to see how people create connections with rhetoric, let's check
out some examples of rhetoric in action.

Social media data mining has great potential to make policing more proactive – But is it legal? Ethical?
Authorities are already using social media, such as posts and comments, to store information and to keep tabs on people
Facebook and Instagram oppose this effort

INTRODUCTION
Is social media data mining ethical?
Should the government and law enforcement agencies be legally authorized to undermine resident privacy in an effort to prevent/deter crime?
What is the public’s reasonable expectation of privacy?
Is social data mining considered a warrantless search?
Social media posts are public – does that make it legal and ethical to monitor an individual’s posts over a period of time?
Law enforcement agencies should reveal what data they are collecting, how it is being collected, and what it is being used for
Public education/engagement about this effort should be mandatory!
Clear guidelines and regulations must be imposed on this process!

The use of social media by criminal justice agencies
Introduction
Social media today is a very major part of life. From Facebook to Twitter to Instagram to snap chat to youtube among many other channels, social media has revolutionized the manner in which most things are done in the society today because of the ease of communication that has been provided by the social media platforms. Social media today is a big part of individual's everyday lives and its use in the society today has also revolutionized from being used only as a platform for entertainment to being used by business and very many agencies of the government including the criminal justice agencies(George, 2014). Social media platforms have developed to form one of the most influential channels of communication that ever existed in the history of human beings.
The impact that the social media has to the society is not all good, but there is no doubt that there is a lot of positive that has been brought by the use of social media in most institutions such as the criminal justice agencies. The issue of public safety today has become more sophisticated thanks to social media as communication has been made easier and also faster. The tools of law enforcement have evolved over time from making use of wanted posters to the broad use of the social media platforms. In this paper, we are going to look at the use of social media in criminal justice and the effects that this has had both the good and the bad. The law enforcement agencies today are finding social media a very valuable tool in their quest to protect individuals and to serve the public as we are going to discuss in this paper.
Use of Social Media in Criminal Justice
The Good
Use of the social media in law enforcement agencies has tremendously grown over the past few years, and this trend is as a result of more and more law enforcement agencies embracing and learning how to use the social media and to take advantage of the eased communication to carry out their operations and enhance safety. Below are the ways in which social media has been useful in criminal justice.

1. Criminal investigations
Social media has become a very major tool of investigation for the law enforcers. The truth about social media is for every time we use it we leave clues all over the internet like our fingerprints (Brunty, Miller & Helenek, 2014). Following the trend of many individuals putting up a lot of details on their activities on social media investigating crimes has been made easier for police. Investigate target often have various information about them and their activities uploaded to their various social media pages which could help t ...

Linda Plitt Donaldson, PhD
ABSTRACT. This paper brings together knowledge from research and
practice to suggest a set of building blocks on which a progressive advo-
cacy program could be developed within a human services agency. Pro-
gressive advocacy is defined as advocacy motivated primarily by a desire
for social change that addresses underlying structural and power inequi-
ties that includes methods to meaningfully engage agency clients or con-
stituents in all aspects ofthe advocacy process. The paper concludes with
a case study showing the development of an advocacy program within a
nonprofit homeless services agency and discusses the constraints on its
development. Implications for research, education, and practice are also
discussed. doi:10.1300/J147v32n02_03 [Article copies available for a fee from

Lab 8 -Ballistic Pendulum
Since you will be designing your own procedure you will have two
class periods to take the required data.
The goal of this lab is to measure the speed of a ball that is fired
from a projectile launcher using two different methods. The
Projectile launcher has three different settings, “Short Range,”
“Medium Range” and “Long Range,” however you will only need to
determine the speed for any ONE of these Range settings.
Method 1 involves firing the ball directly into the “Ballistic
Pendulum” shown below in Figure 2 for which limited instructions will be provided. Method 2
is entirely up to your group. While you have significant freedom to design your own procedure,
you will need to worry about the random and systematic uncertainties you are introducing
based on your procedure. This manual will provide a few hints to help reduce a few of those
uncertainties.
The ballistic pendulum pictured in Figure 2 is important canonical problem students study to
explore the conservation of momentum and energy. The ball is fired by the projectile launcher
into a “perfectly inelastic collision” with the pendulum. The pendulum then swings to some
maximum angle which is measured by an Angle Indicator.
Caution: The pendulum has a plastic hinge and Angle Indicator which are both fragile. Be
gentle.
Study the ballistic pendulum carefully. Before we begin, here are a few things to consider and
be aware of in Figure 2:
Projectile launcher
Angle indicator (curved
black bar)
Clamp
Pendulum (can be removed
for measurements)

A. Clamping the ballistic pendulum to the table will reduce random uncertainties in the
speed with which the projectile launcher releases the ball. Similarly, you should check
that the various bolts are snug and that the ball is always fully inside the launcher (not
rolling around inside the barrel of launcher).
B. If the lab bench is not perfectly horizontal the plumb bob and angle indicator will not
read zero degrees before you begin your experiment. You should fix AND/OR account
for these discrepancies.
C. In Figure 3 you will notice a tiny gap between the launcher and the pendulum. This
important gap prevents the launcher from contacting the pendulum directly as the ball
is fired. Without this gap an unknown amount of momentum is transferred from the
launcher directly to the pendulum (in addition to the momentum transferred by the
ball) significantly complicating our experiment.

I Samuel 8-10
Israel Asks for a King
8 When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as Israel’s leaders.[a]2 The
name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and
they served at Beersheba. 3 But his sons did not follow his ways. They turned
aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.
4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at
Ramah. 5 They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your
ways; now appoint a king to lead[b] us, such as all the other nationshave.”
6 But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeasedSamuel; so
he prayed to the LORD. 7 And the LORD told him: “Listen to all that the people
are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected
me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of
Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing
to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them
know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
10 Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him
for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim
as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots
and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to
be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow
his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war
and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be
perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and
vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a
tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and
attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle[c] and
donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks,
and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will
cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the LORD will not
answer you in that day.”

19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We wanta
king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead
us and to go out before us and fight our battles.”
21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before
the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.”
Then Samuel said to the Israelites, “Everyone go back to your own town.”

1 Journal Entry #9 What principle did you select .docx

Journal Entry #9
What principle did you select?
I selected principle 1 of part 1, “Don’t criticize, condemn or complain”.
Who did you interact with?
For this assignment I interacted with my younger cousin.
What was the context?
I had visited my Aunty and she and her husband asked me to stay a while as I was on school
break. They accommodated me and I decided in return to help look after my cousin in the period
when he got out of school and before they got back from work. He is 5 years old and can be quite
the handful.
What did you expect?
I expected that an authoritative approach would easily compel him to follow my instructions so
that the transition from school life into home life would be easy.
What happened?
At first, I used commanding language to get him to change out of his uniform or properly store
his back pack and books before stepping out to play. The first day was difficult and the way I
deal with him were not getting through. On the 2nd day, the same was observed. On the 3rd day,
before he could drop his back pack and run out, I offered to make him a sandwich to eat before
he left to play if he would change and clean up. He rushed up stairs and freshened up. On the
next day, he came home and rushed up to change and freshen up all on his own. I had not
initially offered; but I made him a sandwich regardless.
How did it make you feel?
It made me feel good to be able to get through to my cousin. After this, if I ever needed him to
do something in a better way than previously, I would encourage him onto a different way of
accomplishing the same. I would often offer praise after adoption of the new suggested method
was adopted or offered incentive.
2
What did you learn?
I learnt that in criticizing a person’s action, it is difficult to deter their belief in their methods,
values or beliefs. This usually just gives them the will to justify or defend their positions. It is
almost an exercise in futility to attempt to effect change by complaining, condemning or
criticizing.
What surprised you?
I was surprised by how fast the change was effected after the shift in direction I took to approach
my cousin. In not criticizing his way of doing things any longer and employing a different tactic,
I was able to influence his routine as well as build good rapport with him.
Going forward, how can you apply what you learnt?
Going forward I will attempt to understand that everyone has a belief or image of their own that I
should respect. These beliefs, systems and values are crucial to their inherent dignity and to
criticize or attack this will only fuel conflict.

HCA 448 Case 2 for 10/04/2018
Recently, a patient was transferred to a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) at Methodist Hospital.
Methodist is a 250-bed hospital, which is one of five hospitals in the University Health System.
The patient was a retired 72-year-old man, who recently (i.e., 25 days ago) had a mild heart
attack and was treated and released from a sister hospital, which is in the same system as
Methodist Hospital. An otherwise health individual, Mr. Charlie Johnson (a husband, father of 4,
and grandfather of 12) is in now need or lots of medication and a battery of tests. To the nurses
on shift, it appears that the entire Johnson family is in patient’s room watching the clinical staff
treated Mr. Johnson. The family overhears everything and they want to know what is being done
to (and for) their loved one. In addition, they want to know the meaning behind the various beeps
coming from the many machines attached to Mr. Johnson.
Over the past 10 years, the latest U.S. News and World report has ranked Methodist Hospital as
one of the Best Hospitals for Cardiology & Heart Surgery. However, it is important to note that
over the past few years, the unit has dropped in the rankings.
Katherine Ross RN, the patient care director of the CICU, which has 14 beds, has held this post
for two years. (See Figure) The unit has a $20 million budget. Ms. Ross has worked at Methodist
Hospital for 16 years. She spends 50 percent of her time on patient safety, 25 percent on staffing
and recruitment, and 20 percent with nurses in relation to their satisfaction with the work and
with families relative to their satisfaction with care. Ten percent of Ms. Ross’s time is spent on
administrative duties. According to Ms. Ross, “I like is working with exceptional nurses who are
very smart and do what it takes with limited resources. However, we don’t always feel
empowered, despite the existence of shared governance, a structure I help to coordinate.”
2
Relationship with Nurses on the Unit:
Nurses on the unit work a three day a week, 12 hours a shift. Ms. Ross says, “we did an
employee opinion survey that went to all employees on the unit, 50 people in all, but only 13
responded. Some of them weren’t sure who their supervisor was. The employees aren’t happy
but our patients are happy.” She adds that “my name is on the unit, not the medical director’s. If
anything goes wrong with the unit, they blame it on nursing. Yet I’m brushed off by people
whom I have to deal with outside of the unit. For example, we have a problem with machines
that analyze blood gases. I spoke with the people there about the technology. This was four
weeks ago. It’s a patient safety issue. I sent them e-mails. I need the work to get done, the staff
don’t feel empowered if I’m not empowered. This goes for other departments as well. For
example, respiratory therapy starts using a new ventilator witho.

Chapter 2
Understanding Rhetoric
Goal: To recognize essential components of rhetoric and understand why and how
a text works.
2.1: Understand what rhetoric really is
2.2: Understand five key components of rhetoric
2.3: Understand the rhetorical situation
Chapter 2 Project: Write an essay evaluating how well a text responds to a rhetorical situation
If you instructor has assigned them, you can watch the videos for this chapter,
complete the Reflect and Apply activities, and work on the Chapter Project in Achieve.
2.1: Understand what rhetoric really is
Even if you’ve encountered the word rhetoric, it’s probably not a word you use regularly. These days, it
often gets mentioned when people are unhappy about the words someone has spoken. For example,
when a politician talks about something he or she will accomplish, a political opponent might say,
“That’s just empty rhetoric!” In this sense, rhetoric has a bad reputation. Too often, rhetoric is
associated with someone using language to unjustly elevate their own position or to make their
opposition look bad.
In truth, rhetoric is by itself neither innocent nor powerful. What matters is how people use it.
Rhetoric is the practice of conveying an effective message to an audience. Sounds simple, right? Well, it

is and it isn’t. Rhetoric is what allows people to express themselves clearly, understand one another, and
find solutions to common problems.
Examining the inspirational power of rhetoric
Why do you need to know what rhetoric is and why it can be powerful? Because conveying messages is
what we all do every day of our lives. Even if you don’t consider yourself a rhetor—someone who uses
rhetoric—you are. You write emails, texts, social media posts, game chats, papers for school, and
countless other pieces at home, at work, and at play. When you use rhetoric in each of these situations,
you try to reach an audience and achieve a purpose. Maybe that purpose is to convince a friend that one
approach to solving a problem is better than another. Maybe you’re just trying to understand a different
perspective on a social issue. Or maybe you're just trying to create a connection with someone.
Transferring these communication skills that you already have to college reading and writing adds
another strategy to help you make meaning in the world around you.
We’ve said that rhetoric is the practice of conveying an effective message to an audience. To
consider just how meaningful that is and to see how people create connections with rhetoric, let's check
out some examples of rhetoric in action.

Cinemark Holdings Inc.: Simulated ERM Program
Ben Li, Assistant Vice President of Compliance, is assigned the responsibility of developing an ERM
program at Cinemark Holdings Inc. (CHI). Over the past year, Ben has put in place the following ERM
activities:
Risk Identification and Assessment
The risk identification and assessment process steps are as follows:
1) Conduct online surveys of the heads of the 10 business segments and their 1-2 direct reports (15
people) and their mid-level managers (80 people). Exhibit 1 shows the instructions that are
included in the online survey. Exhibit 2 shows samples of the information collected from the
online survey.
2) Each of the 10 business segments separately organizes and compiles the results of the online
survey. They typically compile a robust list of 70-80 potential key risks. Each business segment
then prioritizes their top-5 risks and reports them to Ben Li, resulting in a total of 50 key risks (a
partial sample of the top-50 risk list is shown in Exhibit 3).
3) A consensus meeting is conducted where the 50 risks are shared with the top 10 members of
senior management in an open-group setting at an offsite one-day event. The 50 risks are each
discussed one at a time, after which the facilitator has the group collectively discuss and score
them for likelihood and severity. The risk ranking is calculated as the likelihood score plus the
severity score; the control effectiveness score is used to determine if there is room to improve
the controls and is used in the risk decision making process step. The top-20 risks are identified
as the key risks to CHI and are selected for additional mitigation and advanced to the risk
decision making stage. A Heat Map (see Exhibit 4) is provided to assist in this effort.
4) The 30 risks remaining from the 50 discussed at the consensus meeting are considered the non-
key risks, and these are monitored with key risk indicators to see if, over time, either the
likelihood and/or severity is increasing to the level which would result in one of these being
elevated to a key risk.
Risk Decision Making
Ben Li formed a Risk Committee to look at the risk identification and assessment information and to
define CHI’s risk appetite and risk limits, which were defined as follows:
Risk Appetite
CHI will maintain its overall risk profile in a manner consistent with our mission and vision and with the
expectations of our shareholders.
Risk Limits
CHI will also avoid any individual risk exposures deemed excessive by its Risk Committee; the individual
risk exposures will be determined separately for each key risk. CHI has zero tolerance for risks related to
internal fraud or violations of the employee code of conduct.
2
Ben Li expanded the role of the Risk Committee to also select and implement the risk mitigation for each
of the 20 key risks, at the same time as the committee determines the risk limits. .

What I Saw at the Abortion
I am a surgeon. Sick flesh is everyday news. Escaping blood, all the outpourings of
disease, meaty tumors that terrify–I touch these to destroy them. But I do not make symbols of
them.
What I am saying is that I have seen and I am used to seeing. I am a man who has a
trade, who has practiced it long enough to see no news in any of it. Picture me, then. A
professional in his forties, three children, living in a university town—so, necessarily, well—
enlightened? Enough, anyhow. Successful in my work, yes. No overriding religious posture.
Nothing special, then, your routine fellow, trying to do his work and doing it well enough. Picture
me, this professional, a sort of scientist, if you please, in possession of the standard admirable
opinions, positions, convictions, and so on–on this and that matter–on abortion, for example.
All right. Now listen.
It is the western wing of the fourth floor of a great university hospital. I am present
because I asked to be present. I wanted to see what I had never seen: an abortion.
The patient is Jamaican. She lies on the table in that state of notable submissiveness I
have always seen in patients. Now and then she smiles at one of the nurses as though
acknowledging a secret.
A nurse draws down the sheet, lays bare the abdomen. The belly mounds gently in the
twenty-fourth week of pregnancy. The chief surgeon paints it with a sponge soaked in red
antiseptic. He does this three times, each time a fresh sponge. He covers the area with a sterile
sheet, an aperture in its center. He is a kindly man who teaches as he works, who pauses to
reassure the woman.
He begins.
“A little pinprick,” he says to the woman. He inserts the point of a tiny needle at the
midline of the lower portion of her abdomen, on the downslope. He infiltrates local anesthetic into
the skin, where it forms a small white bubble.
The woman grimaces. “That is all you will feel,” the doctor says, “except for a little
pressure. But no more pain.” She smiles again. She seems to relax. She settles comfortably on
the table. The worst is over.
The doctor selects a three-and-one-half-inch needle bearing a central stylet. He places
the point at the site of the previous injection. He aims it straight up and down, perpendicular.
Next he takes hold of her abdomen with his left hand, palming the womb, steadying it. He thrusts
with his right hand. The needle sinks into the abdominal wall.
“Oh,” says the woman quietly.
But I guess it is not pain she feels. It is more a recognition that the deed is being done. Another
thrust and he has speared the uterus.
“We are in,” he says. He has felt the muscular wall of the organ gripping the shaft of his
needle. A further slight pressure on the needle advances it a bit more. He takes his left hand
2
from the woman’s abdomen. He retracts the filament of the stylet from the bar.

Contemporary Approaches in Management of Risk in Engineering Organizations
3
Introduction
The term, ‘risk’ as defined by the Oxford English dictionary is a possibility to meet with any
kind of danger or suffer harm. Risk is a serious issue that every organization has to deal with in
their everyday operations. However, nature and magnitude of risks largely vary from
organization to organization and often depend on the type of the organization. Therefore,
organizations irrespective of their type of operations keep a risk management team that looks
after every risk to which an organization is vulnerable. Organizations in the field of engineering
also have to come across some inherent risks that negatively impact their operations. Engineering
may be defined as the process of applying science to practical purposes of designing structures,
systems, machines and similar things. Therefore, like every other organization, risk assessment
and management is also an integral part of engineering organizations. Since the task of
engineering is mostly complex, the risks in this area are also very complicated. If risks in
engineering field are not mitigated effectively it may produce long-term danger that may affect
both the organizational services and the society in whole. Hence, the activity of risk management
within engineering organizations must be undertaken seriously and measured thoroughly in order
to reduce the threat of risks. Amyotte et al., (2006) simply puts it like within the engineering
practice, an inbuilt risk is always present. Studies have found that despite the knowledge of
inherent risks within the field and activity of engineering, organizations are not very aware in
imparting knowledge about risk management to their engineers. From this the need of education
regarding the risk management approaches arises. Therefore, this paper tries to find out
approaches to management of risks and importance of these approaches within the area of
engineering. Bringing on the contemporary evidence from the literature review related to risk
management approaches, the paper examines how those approaches can be helpful for

BIOL 102: Lab 9
Simulated ABO and Rh Blood Typing
Objectives:
After completing this laboratory assignment, students will be able to:
• explain the biology of blood typing systems ABO and Rh
• explain the genetics of blood types
• determine the blood types of several patients
Introduction:
Before Karl Landsteiner discovered the ABO human blood groups in 1901, it was thought that all blood was the
same. This misunderstanding led to fatal blood transfusions. Later, in 1940, Landsteiner was part of a team
who discovered another blood group, the Rh blood group system. There are many blood group systems known
today, but the ABO and the Rh blood groups are the most important ones used for blood transfusions. The
designation Rh is derived from the Rhesus monkey in which the existence of the Rh blood group was
discovered.
Although all blood is made of the same basic elements, not all blood is alike. In fact, there are eight different
common blood types, which are determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens – substances that
can trigger an immune response if they are foreign to the body – on the surface of the red blood cells (RBCs
also known as erythrocytes).
ABO System:
The antigens on RBCs are agglutinating antigens or agglutinogens. They have been designated as A and B.
Antibodies against antigens A and B begin to build up in the blood plasma shortly after birth. A person
normally produces antibodies (agglutinins) against those antigens that are not present on his/her erythrocytes
but does not produce antibodies against those antigens that are present on his/her erythrocytes.
• A person who is blood type A will have A antigens on the surface of her/his RBCs and will have
antibodies against B antigens (anti-B antibodies). See picture below.
• A person with blood type B will have B antigens on the surface of her/his RBCs and will have antibodies
against antigen A (anti-A antibodies).
• A person with blood type O will have neither A nor B antigens on the surface of her/his RBCs and has
BOTH anti-A and anti-B antibodies.
• A person with blood type AB will have both A and B antigens on the surface of her/his RBCs and has
neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies.
The individual’s blood type is based on the antigens (not the antibodies) he/she has. The four blood groups
are known as types A, B, AB, and O. Blood type O, characterized by an absence of A and B agglutinogens, is
the most common in the United States (45% of the population). Type A is the next in frequency, found in 39%
of the population. The incidences of types B and AB are 12% and 4%, respectively.

Business Intelligence Case
Project Background
Mell Industries is a national manufacturing firm that specializes in textiles based out of
Chicago. Starting out as a small factory in Warrenville, Illinois, the firm experienced a period of steady
growth over the past twenty-four years. Steadily opening new warehouses and factories in the
surrounding areas in Michigan and Indianapolis until eventually moving their base of operations to
Chicago. Due to this expansion, Mell Industries is at the height of its production and hopes to avoid any
interferences or deceleration of growth.
In recent years, the firm has been under heavy media scrutiny for supposedly compensating its
female staff unfairly lower compared to male counterparts. This was initiated when a disgruntled
employee leaked the company payroll allegedly showcasing an unjust gap of income between the
female employee and her male counterpart. This type of gender pay gap is highly criticized and as a
precaution, Mell Industries has hired Cal Poly Pomona to conduct research to determine the validity of
these claims. Mell Industries has provided Cal Poly Pomona with a data set of a sample population of
747 employees. Mell Industries has also offered Cal Poly Pomona compensation for any promising
information gathered. Mell Industries may use information gathered from this project in future
employee compensation decisions.
The initial dataset has been given to you in the form of an excel spreadsheet titled
Case_dataset.xlsx consisting of 12 columns labeled:
● Column A - Employee ID
● Column B - Gender
● Column C - Date of Birth
● Column D - Date of Hire
● Column E - Termination Date
● Column F - Occupation
● Column G - Salary
● Column H to L - Employee Evaluation Metrics
In addition, Mell Industries provided the latest annual employee performance review evaluation
results rating each employee in various performance categories. They have turned over this information
separately and as a consultant, it is your task to provide Mell Industries with the most accurate and
relevant information in a digestible form. Furthermore, using excel skills learned during the course, you
will manipulate and analyze the data set in order to make appropriate managerial decisions. You will
utilize excel functions highlighted in this project as well as a pivot table and chart to form a decision
support system in order to answer the critical thinking questions.
Project Objective
The purpose of this project is to perform a methodical data analysis to assist the company make
an informed decision. This could also serve as a basis for implementing critical adjustments to certain
business aspects if necessary. Illustrate the business process by condensing a large set of data, to
present relevant information with data visualization. We will be utilizing Microsoft Excel 2016 to
complete this project.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people.

The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

· There is a good portion of our society that feels healthcare sho.docx
- 1. · There is a good portion of our society that feels healthcare should be free as well. Of course, there are pros and cons to both. We can learn from countries with universal healthcare like Canada, Switzerland, and Japan. I think one aspect that the United States must be ready for is the increase in taxes. Though it may seem to be an expensive tax deduction, it may very well balance out, when you consider all the pros. Class - if you were to interview or get more information from countries that have universal healthcare, what do you think they would have to say about the pros and cons? BCJ 4101, Police and Community Relations 1 Course Learning Outcomes for Unit IV Upon completion of this unit, students should be able to: 5. Explain the importance of a good relationship between law enforcement and the media. 6. Discuss police-community relationships regarding the media, gangs, and the process of assimilation. 6.1 Discuss police-community relationships regarding the media. Reading Assignment
- 2. Chapter 7: Building Partnerships: A Cornerstone of Community Policing Chapter 8: Forming Partnerships with the Media Unit Lesson If you are a fan of some of the older detective shows, the ones that were in black and white or maybe produced just shortly after color television was invented, then you are familiar with the notion of law enforcement having partners. This concept of law enforcement having partners that work with them to investigate crimes, help citizens, and engage in other social activities is embedded in the history of law enforcement. Thus, it should be no surprise that when we talk about community policing, it is necessary for partnerships to be established between various community entities to ensure that the entire community is protected and served by law enforcement. In communities, partnerships take on many forms. They can be between two individuals, an organization and individual, multiple individuals, multiple agencies, or multiple individuals and agencies. The term collaboration is often used to represent the coming together of various agencies and individuals that are working together to achieve a common goal. In addition to working together, these agencies and individuals pool their resources together to help achieve the goal. In order for collaboration to be successful, trust between the individuals and agencies involved must be at the core of that
- 3. collaboration process. Once trust is at the core, that trust must then be surrounded by the following components to ensure a successful collaboration results: key stakeholders, shared visions and common goals, expertise, teamwork strategies, open communication, motivated partners, sufficient means (resources), and an action plan (Miller, Hess, & Orthmann, 2014). It is imperative that law enforcement agencies make time for the development of partnerships and problem- solving. Changing beats and shift assignments can be a hindrance to building partnerships because it makes it difficult for the establishment of trust and the maintenance of active community involvement. Thus, there must be deliberate efforts by management to facilitate partnerships for problem-solving. Such efforts could include call management, call stacking, non-emergency call systems (e.g., 311), and online reporting. Citizen involvement is essential to the development of partnerships between law enforcement and communities. Citizen police academies provide an opportunity for law enforcement to educate citizens about police work and encourage them to become involved in helping to prevent crime and solve problems in the community. In addition to citizen involvement, the involvement of key collaborators from every aspect of community is also essential to the development of partnerships between law enforcement and communities. Such key collaborators include prosecutors, courts, corrections, government agencies, private security agencies, victims, volunteers, and other community groups (e.g., taxi drivers, correlations) (Miller et al., 2014). UNIT IV STUDY GUIDE
- 4. Community Policing Partnerships BCJ 4101, Police and Community Relations 2 UNIT x STUDY GUIDE Title Partnerships have various benefits such as fostering a sense of accomplishment resulting from bettering the community, an opportunity to meet other community members, providing an opportunity to contribute to the community. However, partnerships can also be very costly and time-consuming. Thus, partnerships must be pursued in a matter in which the benefit to the community and law enforcement outweigh the negative aspects of forming partnerships (i.e., time and money). Law enforcement also needs to foster partnerships with the media. Both law enforcement and media desire to serve the public. In addition, the police are as dependent on the media as the media is dependent on the police to accomplish their goals. There are constitutional amendments that govern the actions of media and law enforcement. The first amendment to the U.S. Constitution is associated with freedom of the press because it protects the public’s right to know information. The sixth amendment of the U.S. Constitution
- 5. guarantees a speedy trial and guarantees the defendant certain rights. Subsequently, this amendment is also relevant to criminal investigations, which involve law enforcement. Conflict between the media and the police often arise because of the methods used by the media and the police to obtain information and protect the community. Conflict between law enforcement and the media originates from competing objectives, contradictory approaches to dangerous situations, and stereotyping (Miller et al., 2014). For example, there are certain statutes, such as the Freedom of Information Act, that protect victims of sex crimes from having to disclose certain information. However, it is possible for members of the media to obtain consent for an interview from a victim of a sex crime without that victim fully understanding the potentially negative impact of the interview on the criminal investigation. In addition, in a desire to keep the public informed, the media may release graphic images, inaccurately report information, release sensitive documents, retraumatize victims (including children), and compromise criminal investigations. The media is often criticized because of the fame that its coverage can provide to infamous criminals. There is also concern that the media’s coverage of high-profile cases has an impact on how the criminal justice system processes cases and sentences convicted offenders. Regardless of the sentiment law enforcement may hold toward the media, requests for information will continue. Thus, many agencies have developed policies concerning media relations. Such policies require officers to be professional during interviews and to speak in soundbites, avoid lying to the media unless it is in the
- 6. best interests of public safety, designate public information officers, and follow strict guidelines regarding photographing and videotaping especially at the crime scene. Researchers found that a significant factor that influences the relationship between the media and law enforcement is the perception of accessibility of law enforcement personnel and data to the media (Miller et al., 2014). There are many strategies that can be implemented to develop and sustain partnerships between the media and law enforcement. Such strategies can begin with keeping journalist informed about the department policies and procedures related to media accessing crime scenes. Law enforcement agents could also attempt to avoid using jargon and try to meet media deadlines. Seasonal news press releases could also provide media with a sense of accessibility to law enforcement personnel and data. Managers of law enforcement agencies can allow members of the media to “ride- a-long” on reporting calls or to be part of the group of law enforcement personnel assigned to large events, such as protests. In addition, one of the key components to implementing community policing strategies is to have the support of the community. The media can be a significant asset or hindrance in obtaining the support of the community. Thus, partnerships with the media and law enforcement are necessary to ensure the fostering of community involvement in the implementation and sustaining of community policing strategies. For example, the media can be part of a marketing strategy that informs the community about community policing initiatives and encourages community involvement. However, such endeavors can be difficult for public information
- 7. officers because of the amount of time that is spent responding to the media’s inquiries about crime. “Despite such constraints, police departments should take every opportunity to forge creative, supportive, and respectful partnerships with the media” (Miller et al., 2014, p. 231).

Learning Activities (Non-Graded) Community Partnerships Community policing partnerships are integral to the successful implementation and sustainability of community policing strategies. One of the key partners in community policing partnerships is citizens in the community. However, citizens must be aware of the existence of community partnerships and be able to identify and address the need for additional community partnerships. To assist you in learning more about community policing partnerships in your community, respond to the following questions:
- 9. partnerships in your community? partnerships in your community? community policing partnerships in your community? Note: It may be necessary to access the website of law enforcement agencies in your community and/or to use web search engines to identify related media that describes community policing partnerships in your community. Non-graded Learning Activities are provided to aid students in their course of study. You do not have to complete or submit them. If you have questions, contact your instructor for further guidance and information.
