Many children suffer child abuse everyday at the hands of adults and it is often their own parents who are the ones to do this. They are beaten, kicked, thrown into walls, or burned with cigarettes. They have their heads held under the water of toilet bowls, are scalded by hot water or they are forced to stand in freezing or scalding showers until they pass out. A child could be stuffed into running washing machines or sexually molested and beaten so bad that they are unable to move. Some suffer from neglect in the forms of starvation and lack of medical attention, and still go unnoticed by outsiders such as child protective services or perhaps even their pediatricians. It is not unheard of that children die every day in the…
What made you become a correctional officer? “I have always wanted to do something in the law enforcement field. I’ve always had a passion for the law and enforcing the law.

Have you ever wondered how society views people who take advantage of children? This is not something everybody, as a society, think about on a day to day basis. But, it is becoming more publicly overwhelming to be heard. Today, people in society do not always think intelligently about sexual acts towards children. In the United States 44% of victims are under the age of 18 years old. 80% are under the age of 30 years old. Every two minutes someone is being sexually abused. Each year there are approximately 207,754 victims abused (Statics.) Most cases of sexual abuse comes from males. The rates are so high, unknown to why, most people do not report their, or their children’s cases. This is not just happening to one race, it is happening to all races. Back in the 1800’s and 1900’s this was not spoken of. The injustice of sexual abuse is all around the world. Such as, Africa (being the highest), Asia, America and others.…

with students, military cadre having sex with recruits and criminal justice employees having sex with offenders seems to be in the reports of the news media every day. In recent years, the Department of Public Safety has certainly had their share of this crisis. Agencies dedicated to administrating justice should not be in the business of dispensing sex. Even so, the department faces one scandal after another over staff having sexual contact with inmates, offenders and juveniles.…
There are personal reasons as to why becoming a drug enforcement agent is important to me. I have seen people close to me become consumed by drug and have seen them lose complete control of their lives and reality itself. The idea of pursuing a career that can help stop, or rather lessen the amount of drug consumption and violence on the streets makes me want to help my community out, since I couldn’t really help people that were close to me once. The idea of diminishing a portion of society’s malice by implementing my knowledge and skill of a drug enforcement practitioner thrills me.…

I am compelled to serve those around me, by protecting the innocent and carrying out justice to the guilty.…
