1. What is the difference between a. and a. It is evident that sociology’s three main theoretical paradigms can be applied to the real world, especially in the story “Remembering My First Arrest” in Cops, Teachers, and Counselors. When a rookie officer and field training officer confronted a citizen who violated an open container law, the first thing they said was “you’re just out here screwing with me because I’m black” (Maynard-Moody and Musheno, 2022, pp. 66. The 'Standard' of the 'Standard'. In response to these words from the citizen, the field training officer said, “That’s right, I’m just picking on you because you’re black” (Maynard-Moody and Musheno, 2022, pp. 66.…

As a police detective, I see a lot of things ordinary men can’t even fathom—serial killers, rapists, drug lords—but nothing could have prepared me for the Dyer Street case. It started out like any other home invasion: a local woman went to bed with her family when all of a sudden she heard a scream coming from her son’s bedroom. When she entered the room she found her son on the floor, unresponsive.…
Hey there my name is Sofie I am 8 years old, before the holocaust started I lived in Kaunas, Lithuania. I remember the day that my family and I were taken, I had just gotten to the dining table and started eating breakfast momma made all of my favorites that morning because it was the day before my birthday it is what she does every year. Two men who looked like soldiers knocked on the door papa invited them in and offered them breakfast, the politely declined and told us that we need to pack one suitcase of only our necessities. When papa asked him why the solider responded firmly telling papa that he just needed to do as he was told, and so we did. I really wish we never would have gone with the soldiers that morning, it was a terrible mistake.…
A search of Derrick Robinson’s cell phone was done and at 4:46 a.m. an incoming call was received from (910) 644-7834. The phone number was checked through several Police data bases with negative results. I then searched the phone number through Facebook and learned it was assigned to a J-Rock Ru. I then attempted to see if this was the same J-Rock that went to Emily Hamlin residence on the night of the Homicide.…
We had now waited over a hour just to enter the prison, they kept us outside in the cold until they were ready. As we went trough the process we were treated like absolute shit, we were treated as if we were the ones who were going to get locked up. We received imitating looks from everyone who worked there and we were herded into small, dark and cold rooms like we were sheep. Time passes as then we were then called by a man who was big and looked as if he had experienced a lot, he was the one who walked us down to the cell that Gardo’s grandfather was staying…

My family was very disliked in Andover, and over time he married a woman who did not think that he was worthy of marrying her. Then it happened, they accused him. He was brought to trial as an accused man. They accused him for being a witch because he dabbled in fortune telling when he was a young man. They ended up accusing me, too. It is time for trial.…
In my life, in your life, we are going to come up upon to a thought situations. When I faced my first thought situation, I was not quite sure how to react. I was not quite sure how to handle it or help. “My son was chocking with a hotdog” it was the scariest day of my life. Hotdogs are one-off the most dangerous foods for children to eat. Since then, my life changed and I realized how important is to know CPR guidelines to help someone when help is need it.…
At the tender age of eighteen, I began my career as a correctional officer with the Texas Department of Corrections at the Ellis I Unit in Huntsville, Texas, a town with population of only about 30,000 people, but with seven prisons and more than 13,000 inmates. I attended a lengthy and thorough pre-service training academy that was conducted for eight hours every day for two weeks. All trainees were required to live in dormitories together as a group so we could sleep, eat, breathe, and drink corrections. There were about fifty trainees going through the academy at the same time. We were an interesting bunch with about half of the group being young guys like me looking for their first real job and the other half being forty-something military or law enforcement retirees wanting to pursue a new career. There were no women in my academy class. Women at the time could be found in support positions that were primarily clerical, but would not play a direct contact role in male corrections in Texas until 1984 (US Department of Justice, 1991).…
Life is full of risks. And not all risks are predictable. The first and the biggest crisis in my life happened a few days after the fifteenth birthday. I was diagnosed with a kind of cancer and took a year off from middle school to have chemotherapy after surgery. Fortunately, I was on the mend after hospitalizing for the first three months, so I received the outpatient treatment after that. Now it was time to go back to school. However, I had a lot of different thoughts running through my mind. I no longer wanted to take my life for granted. Instead, I wanted to be stronger and challenge myself. So I decided to go on to high school in the abroad. I persuaded my parents for six months and they finally agreed to let me move to New York! It was…
Personal background starts off small, it changes and grows over time into something big, it grows into an identity. Walking down the hallway at school, seeing someone standing alone, my first instinct is to make conversation, compliment, or even just smile at him or her. This instinct came from someone once telling me an act so small could turn a person's entire life around. As a kid, reading encyclopedias about random topics, consumed my time. Many days were spent coming home to find an injured wild animal in my dad's arms waiting to be saved. My dad would sit outside and draw animals, trees, and anything else he saw. Nothing excited me more than trying to draw whatever my dad drew, and as good as he did. Any assignment that was handed to…
The police said it was a robbery and that my father car was found stripped and left up on blocks. My father was barely hanging on for dear life when one of the attorneys from his old job came to tell me that his disability would now be cut off because there would be no way to tell if his injuries was from the job or from the robbery. Oh, but if that wasn’t adding salt to an already open wound, Mack Cannoli arrived to ask me how was I going to pay my father’s debt now that he can’t. What the man had offered as a way to help pay the debt had me taking a swing at him, but his men stopped me. Luckily, the police officer who was investigating the robbery walked in.…
It was a perfectly normal Saturday night, until I sat on the couch. I expected to enjoy a funny movie with my dad, but instead I got a trip to the hospital. I sat on the couch, and then I felt a sting in my elbow. At first, it felt like I got a shot at the doctor, but it slowly got worse, and felt more like a knife slicing into my elbow. I winced and sprung up from the couch. I squinted and my eyes scanned the spot where I just sat down. Aha, I thought. There was a small piece of plastic, and it looked like it broke off from a container.…
