Overview of Research Paper “Damned if You Don’t, Damned if You Do” (Crime Mapping) by Jerry H. Ratcliffe
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper giving an overview of the research and conclusions made in the article “Damned if You Don’t, Damned if You Do” by Jerry H. Ratcliffe (2002). The main context for research in this paper is the growing trend in North America about the publication of maps denoting crime with the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) which are then published on the Internet. The concern for crime is known as an international one, however, the insurgence of crime mapping on the Internet is particularly prominent in North America. Crime maps available on the Internet are becoming increasingly detailed in regards to regions and areas and also increasingly interactive. Crime mapping is particularly favored by law enforcement agencies in the United States as a more cost efficient alternative to the constant dissemination of information previously provided to the public and government agencies. However, inconsistencies in data reporting and technologies could lead to expensive litigation against those agencies posting crime maps. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Policing, Police Powers and Police Discretion in Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing policing, police powers and police discretion in Canada. The police in Canada follow many administrative guidelines from municipal, provincial and federal levels. The Canadian Criminal Code, the Constitution Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are all balanced in order to allow the police to protect their communities but at the same time allow the citizens their own rights and freedoms. Despite the administrative guidelines under which police powers are maintained, police are given some discretionary powers within their work. In serious investigations, these powers may be increased by a writ of assistance which allows the police to further their investigations with fewer impediments. At the same time, police are also given the discretion to decide not to charge on minor offences where is it seen as unreasonable to expend the resources of the justice system.

Principles and Issues of Law Enforcement Management
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page outline of the challenges facing law enforcement managers. Police chiefs who are in charge of departments involved in community policing must consider everything from equal opportunity for their employees to the elimination of police corruption to the issues surrounding multiculturalism. Several cities offer examples of management strategies which have been employed to perpetuate the fair treatment of employees, the elimination of corruption, and the efficient policing of the community. Some strategies have had phenomenal success while others have fallen by the wayside of failure. The failures, however, can be just as illustrative as the successes in terms of guiding police chiefs in their own management strategies. Indeed, effective management policies can even be gleaned from a consideration of those policies that have failed. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Private Policing: UK And US
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The extent of private policing has grown so much in recent years in both England and the US that it will not be long before there is little need for public police institutions. When one considers the extent to which criminal activity far outweighs law enforcement's ability to maintain order, it is not surprising to find citizens taking the law into their own hands by way of commercial security industry, the armed forces, local authorities, state departments and voluntary policing bodies. Private policing may have originated as a means by which to protect the citizenry over and above the limitations of governmental law enforcement, but even in contemporary society its existence is met with a combination of expectancy and trepidation.
