  • The Supreme Courts Case: Tennessee V. Garner

    264 Words  | 2 Pages

Garner, which did not allows usages of deadly force by an officer unless "the officer has a good-faith belief that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others" but the rhetorically vague term "good-faith belief" allowed an objective reason to kill and created a barrier in proving an officer is guilty in court system.

    1053 Words  | 5 Pages

    This book begins immediately with some shocking statistics that will allow the police officers in the ethics course to see just how prevalent the code of silence can be. Quinn reports, “only 39 percent of police officers believe fellow officers will report serious criminal violations involving the abuse of authority,” and “52,4 percent of police officers agreed, “It is not unusual for a police officer to turn a blind eye to improper conduct by other officers” (4). The book goes on to discuss why officers partake in the code of silence. A scenario given by the author describes an officer who reports to a domestic violence call and ends up being beaten by the offender. The offender would have killed the officer if it were not for the back up that arrived.

    Presentence investigative reports (PSI) are presented to a judge, often by a probation officer, to give the facts surrounding the case and make sentence recommendations. There is a standard format for PSI reports (double-spaced with numbered lines in the left margin). The facts presented should include: information about all parties involved in a case, the official and defendant 's version of events, the impact of the incident on the victim, the detailed criminal and social background of the defendant, and a statement concerning evaluation and sentence recommendations from the probation officer. As with any official document, PSI reports should be held to high standards of writing and grammar.

  • Constitutional Police Brutality

    2453 Words  | 10 Pages

    In Law Enforcement and enforcing the law there is six areas in which police departments have been found to be defective or deficient. This is a very difficult topic for me to agree with because police officers are put in to very stressful and unknown circumstances on a daily bases. In many cases these scenarios require a decision to be made in a split second or it could be life or death. This split second decision has months and months to be twisted and picked apart by lawyers, jury, and mostly the media. Another reason police receive such attention is because it is their job to be in the view of the public at all times and today’s technology is making it even more difficult for them to effectively and efficiently do their jobs.

    Acquiring information on the entire population or using probability sampling would obviously not be appropriate for this extremely specific study, so a nonprobability purposive sample was selected for analysis. There were 200 near misses and 260 erroneous conviction cases located for analysis in this study (National Institute of Justice, 2013). Additionally, the defendants had to be 1) convicted or indicted by a state; 2) of a violent felony against a person; 3) in the system after 1980; and 4) factually innocent (National Institute of Justice, 2013). As identified by Dr. Gould, there was a chance of underreporting, however, ensuring the data group was factually innocent was essential to construct variables and explanations to explicate why some cases are near misses versus wrongful
