This part of Chicago was regarded as “Chi-Raq”. The Webb family was the one white family in all of Southside.…

I think that there are definitely more similarities between Monique and Ying in regards to their personal backgrounds, the acceptance of their work as midwives and healthcare workers within their societies, and the contexts within which they perform their daily work than there are differences. Firstly, with their personal backgrounds, both Monique are relatively young women who are married and close to their families. While in the book, the author mentions that Monique is not very fond of her husband, François, in the video, it seems that Ying and her husband have a decent relationship, although he does complain about her leaving him to go to midwife training for eighteen months. Another similarity between Ying and Monique is that they both are obligated to earn money for their families, through their work as midwives, while also being responsible for many chores and other household duties, such as working in the fields and taking care of the children.…

The author’s purpose is to inform individuals that no human being takes birth as a criminal. Cases in which police, prison guards and other law enforcement authorities used excessive force or other tactics to violate victims’ civil right. It increased from fiscal years 1960’s, according to the Time Magazine. The composer’s primary audience is a prisoner. It made me think so because police brutality has been around since the police have been around. Although most people generally think of the highly publicized riots in the 1960s, police brutality occurred well earlier that and still happens currently. This form of police misconduct occurs when a police officer intentionally uses excessive force, and is usually physical rather than verbal. There are unfortunately many examples of police brutality that have happened over the past decades. The author’s secondary audiences might be prison guards. The writer…

Law enforcement agencies and the laws in which they uphold have been shaped by a number of historical antecedents and philosophical perspectives according to Frank Schmalleger. The Old and New Testaments, religious practices, early Roman law, English common law, and our nations Constitution have shaped today’s law enforcement agencies and agents (Schmalleger, 2002). The role of police in today’s society has changed from the days of the Old Testament and early Roman law as society has changed tremendously. M.L. Dantzer claims that few can realize or appreciate the manifold duties of the police officer. To the majority of individuals the officer is just a nuisance to be endured and even among our courts a general attitude of disfavor is often found. The services law enforcement agents perform are great and their labor is full of interest and yet rarely among specialists, is full credit given to the position. (Dantzker, 2003). The actions of law enforcement agents are usually honorable as they risk their lives daily to keep peace and order in this chaotic society. Unfortunately, the duties of law enforcement agents often involve the use of force as we live in a violent and unruly country. Although the majority of law enforcement agents perform their duties within the guidelines of the department, every year the few ‘bad apples’ disgrace the badge, uniform, and department by abusing suspects…

Rashad did not show any type of resist and the officer decided to resume beating him. Despite the school board’s…
