Cultivation Theory In The 1950's

The Enlightenment, the Declaration of Rights of Men and Citizens, and Napoleon are all correlated through various ideas and goals. Many of these ideas and goals shaped the world that we live in today. As living in this world, you will know that ideas and goals change throughout time and can alter future events. The 1700s –1800s consist of great examples of ideas and goals altering future events shown through the Enlightenment, the Declaration of Rights of men and Citizens, and Napoleon’s rule. The main ideas of the Enlightenment were reason, individualism, Fraternity, and skepticism.

Claims of the police using excessive force when dealing with unarmed criminals are common in the United States. The increase in the number of homicides perpetrated by police officers in the line of duty has evoked great indignation across the country. The public demands that police officers are held accountable for their actions when they are on duty. In the United States, police are hardly prosecuted for on-duty homicides, in spite of the high number of murders that the law enforcement agents commit (Cooper 46). Numerous factors stop the judges from prosecuting officers who commit murder while on duty.

Marshall Lewis Mrs. Gallos English 3 March 20, 2018 Police Brutality I have done my research on police brutality. Even though there is not enough being done, Police brutality should be more heavily enforced against because cases of brutality are way too common. Police brutality has become a growing problem all over the country but it is not just in America, it can be found worldwide. The biggest problem with police brutality is that too many officers are getting away with extreme violence with very little if any reprimandations. There are some steps being taken to combat the problem but not enough is being done to make a large impact.

The media makes the severity of the situation much worse. In some instances, a situation is represented in way that conveys a case as deceptive. Police misconduct, in this situation, is preposterously distorted. For example, the scene one sees on television may be completely inaccurate. In the article Unpacking Public Attitudes to the Police: Contrasting Perceptions of Misconduct with Traditional Measures of Satisfaction, Miller states, “…research found that people's fear of crime was related to crime content in the newspapers they read…”( 6).

The U.S. media also lacks context when covering immigration. The media outlet picks and chooses what it wants its viewers/readers to know, which can greatly change the outlook of the news story (Suro, 2010). News outlets that are conservative will pick and choose so that the story depicts immigrants as criminal and/or dangerous, while liberal news outlets try to show the more positive side of

The statistic was developed from over 148 hours of police videotape. Furthermore, minorities tend to be poorer and may live in areas where crime is more frequent. These areas also tend to attract more police surveillance. In my opinion crime is more prevalent in areas where there is poverty because there is no “money.” Sometimes there are people who will do anything and everything just to get a dollar.

Then the volunteers were asked to describe each case. In the non-violent case, the characters only assaulted each other verbally and some weak retraining movements were involved, while in the violent version, one character physically assaulted another character. The research has shown that regardless of gender, the level of recall of the violent event was significantly lower then the non-violent one. The eyewitnesses produced higher level of stress and anxiety when they see a more violent case, thus showing that the reliability of eyewitness account can be varied depending on the

African Americans experiences with police are more violent and unfair compared to whites. The series of analyses that Schuck and Rosenbaum (2005) designed were to investigate the relations among type and quality of police contact and residents' attitudes toward the police. People who had negative contact with police reported negative feed back and people who had non-negative contact reported good feedback. For whites, their perception of police may be influenced more by media while blacks would be influenced more by their type of neighborhood. The reason for this is because blacks come in contact more with the police than whites.

Police Brutality is referring to the use of unnecessary or inordinate use of force from a Police officer towards a civilian. The abuse of power has resulted in chaos not only for each individual police department but the civilians fearing their lives. Employees engaging in misconduct happens daily but, in the law enforcement industry, misconduct ends in severe consequences for the general public. That reason alone makes the job of an Police officer so much more influential. Officers should be taking into consideration the magnitude of their duty and how reliant the people of America really are on their efforts.

Crime Scene Investigation has become very popular on television. In the article “The CSI Effect” by Richard Willing, the author talks about how much criminal investigation television shows effect people. He explains how they have affected the way jurors are selected because of the evidence people expect to see. People tend to expect more evidence, when convicting someone, because of what they watch on television. “Prosecutors also have complaints: They say the shows can make it more difficult for them to win convictions in the large majority of cases in which scientific evidence is irrelevant or absent”

Stating that the focus that Law and Order place on its episode, the public appears to take interest. Thus, when Law and Order, begun broadcasting episodes focused on the punitive parts of law such as the death penalty, three strike laws victim 's rights, and safe streets policies, the public became more concerned about crime and criminals. This helps to conclude that the public’s fundamental views, towards the criminal justice system. Although, Law and Order, included courtroom behavior and procedures, research shows that audiences usually do not learn specific legal rules from television, but mainly focus on the story

In my research paper my topic is about the brutality of police tactics, and how they plan on improving these to make their attempts at arresting less forceful. “Are we becoming a police state?” This question is asked by many Americans today, Why? Because there are so many deaths by police that many feel like they are superior to laws, and often times the criminal offences they cause are overlooked. The fact that it’s only few cops that do this, they all get the bad reputation.

The 1950s is often referred to as the Post-War era as well as the era of the Baby Boomers. After the end of World War Two tensions, both politically and militarily, were high. Cold War tensions were building and with the first telecast of an atomic explosion in the February of 1951, Cold War paranoia was inflated. As a response to this society alerted their focus from militaristic activities to the rise of the common household and person. This was notable due to the rise of advertisements in this era.

Consequently, people are suffering injustice and some are even losing their lives simply because people holding a “badge” believe they have more power than someone who doesn’t hold one. But there are many options to incorporporate to help minimize or completely stop Police Brutality. Everything could be solved and settled in a courtroom. Police Officers should be required and be mandatory to wear a video camera on their chest to capture every incident the encounter. “Video recorded by body cams protect any
