Early in the Holocaust, German army units participated in the massacre of the Jews in Eastern Europe. Among these, the Reserve Police Battalion 101 was made up of civilian police men, German men, and volunteers subject to the military draft. They were middle-aged working family men with a lower middle class background. Their main purpose was to be an essential source of manpower in holding down German-occupied Europe. In 1941, they were told that they had to perform a gruesome and undesirable task executing the Jewish population in the area they patrolled. My paper will be focusing on factors that lead up to how these “ordinary men” allow themselves to be a part of a systematic genocide. In trying to understand the factors that made these men’s crimes possible the factors that are central to their actions are several: peer pressure and conformity, the roles, the developing of a rationale for killing, and the environment they were in. Without these elements, the men of Police Battalion 101would not have become executioners.…

Numerous individuals have a vast misconstruing on the variations between Probable Cause and Reasonable Suspicion. Why is it important for people to understand the differences between these two important concepts? Understanding the differences between the two is essential on the grounds that one will result in a lawful search and the alternative will cause an unlawful search and seizure. As a quick definition, according to the textbook, Probable Cause is a law enforcement officer’s belief that supported by evidences and circumstances, that a crime has been, is being, or will be committed (Harr, Hess, Orthmann, & Kingsbury, 2015, p. 205). Whereas, Reasonable Suspicion can be considered to be more of an inclination a law enforcement officer will get (Harr, Hess, Orthmann, & Kingsbury, 2015, p. 237). Reasonable Suspicion is employed when conducting an investigative stop; conversely, Probably Cause is required to arrest or place a suspect into custody (Harr, Hess, Orthmann, & Kingsbury, 2015, p. 237). An officer must have both Probable Cause and Reasonable Suspicion to conduct a stop and frisk. Officers are taught this during their time in…
“Stop and Frisk” has been a very controversial method of policing over the last few years in New York city because of its associations with racial profiling. It has been used as a tool for the government to attempt to reduce crime in a preemptive way by using reasonable suspicion to stop, question, search, and if necessary, detain any citizen the officer chooses. Statistically, almost 90% of stop and frisk suspects in New York city were found to have nothing incriminating and were promptly released. It also had little to no impact on reducing crime and murder in the city of New York. However, it impacted the the rights citizens felt like they had because it instituted a form of social control at the hands of the government.…

Often when a person thinks of discrimination, they think of discrimination against different races, however, there are different types of discrimination that exists in our society, regardless of skin color, wealth or social status. There are different types of discrimination such as, race, religion, sexual orientation, height, weight and more (Dempsey pg. 197). There are no limits where discrimination takes place and unfortunately it can take place at the store, church, on the street and even in the work place.…
Corruption establishes largely because of a police culture that exalts loyalty over integrity. Armao & Cornfeld (1994) suggest that honest officers are silenced by their fear of ``ratting'' on another cop no matter how grave the crime. Corruption is not uncommon for those officers who remain undercover; in fact, it is an easier gateway to fall custom to the "bad apples". Corruption as defined by Roebuck and Barker (1974) as any form of ‘deviant, dishonest, improper, unethical or criminal behavior by a police officer. Police departments take pride in their progressions or achievements, therefore in response to corruption, they avoid uncovering it. Grant (2002) goes on to maintain the fact that not only do the en-suing scandals embarrass the…
When I joined the police department, I knew I wanted to be a part of something great. I wanted to leave a legacy and make an impression on others. I was the first in my family to choose a career in law enforcement, so initially, I was unaware of the challenges this career field came with. My mom was a teacher, and my dad worked in the printing business. Both were successful in their chosen fields, but they were blind to the demands required for a fulfilling career in law enforcement. To be successful, I would need to be observant of those around me who had found success. I would need to mirror their ways and incorporate their habits into my own. I would need to learn from their failures. Most importantly, I would need to learn what made them…
In a recent Supreme Court ruling from the case of J.D.B. v. North Carolina established age is a factor that must be considered during a police interrogation (Mears, 2011). Furthermore, J.D.B. was a thirteen-year-old special needs student, and a burglary suspect, who was questioned by the police at school. Additionally, J.D.B. was not provided Miranda warnings before the police began interrogation (Mears, 2011). The Supreme Court determined that a child in placed in the situation would feel compelled to answer police questions, whereas an adult would feel free to leave (Mears, 2011). Since we possess a general background of the case let us further examine some additional key facts and issues beginning with was interrogation considered custodial.…
A: According to Professor David Harris of the University of Toledo College of Law, a leading expert on racial profiling, criminal profiles are a set of personal and behavioral characteristics associated with particular offenses that police use to predict who may commit crimes in the future, or identify what type of person may have committed a particular crime for which no credible suspect has been identified or eye-witness description provided. Criminal profiling becomes racial profiling when these characteristics include race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion.…
“The end of law is not to abolish or restrain,but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.” -John Locke. What does it mean to serve? To provide a service for others, fully expecting nothing in return. This is what I have been shown in my life. For some I have known, this means even laying down their lives for something they fully believed was greater than themselves. This is the highest example of servanthood.…
