Abstract
This paper explains that time management issues are an extremely important part of managing stress levels in the field of law enforcement. The paper further explains that effective time management techniques on the management level can serve to manage stress levels while simultaneously raise the effectiveness of crime fighting and minimize police errors. The paper also points out the various aspects of time management within policing agencies and suggests several effective time management strategies for implementation.
From the Paper
"Another factor that plays a large role both in time and stress management is the rapid advancement of technology, both in law enforcement and society at large. Law enforcement agencies have been obliged to keep pace with changing technology in order to fight an increasingly sophisticated criminal mind. Furthermore, policing has become much more accessible to the community at large in terms of communication and information. There are both advantages and disadvantages connected with this."

Abstract
This paper explains that disasters, which take the form of natural calamities or man made events, have extremely negative effects upon the population and the environment. Prevention is the best method to avoid the catastrophic outcome of a disaster; however, when prevention is not possible, the local, national and international authorities have to minimize the effects of the disaster by interfering and helping the victims. The author points out that the authorities' intervention is not always to the benefit of the population and sometimes increases the damage, such as in the case of the Katrina hurricane and the Crandall Canyon mine collapse. The paper describes standard emergency procedures.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Yet another eloquent example of the authorities' incapacity to accordingly administrate a crisis situation has only recently been presented to us. On 6th of August 2007, the Crandall Canyon Mine collapsed, trapping 6 workers inside.
"The authorities soon responded to the call, but they were unaware of the stability and safety within the mine. In the attempt to rescue the trapped miners, the local authorities sent a team of nine members to dig and recover the miners. But the authorities made a big mistake by blindly sending the team underground."

Total Quality Management (TQM) in Law Enforcement, 2002.
How TQM might be implemented in a community policing situation to solve some of the issues confronting a Brooklyn precinct.
1,474 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 70.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses how it has been proposed that total quality management (TQM), a tool used in industry, can be applied to law enforcement in general, and to community policing in particular. It uses the example of Precinct 94 in Brooklyn, explaining their particular problems. It discusses and defines in-depth the concepts of community policing and TQM and then examines whether this method is a realistic solution to the problem.
From the Paper
"Community policing has become a significant area of focus in police work in recent years as urban and suburban departments have fought increasing levels of crime. The effect of community policing has largely been positive, with crime rates reduced substantially in some areas (New York City, for example) and with positive reactions from both law enforcement agencies and the public at large. Despite the progress that has been made, critics charge that community policing is a vague concept that can encompass everything from merely hiring additional officers to having officers take a proactive role in preventing crime rather than simply reacting to it."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the issue of law enforcement response time and arrests. The paper includes a description of the approaches taken by law enforcement agencies in the U.S. to reduce crime and what initiatives have been shown to be effective. A summary of the research that shows faster response times do not necessarily equate to increased arrest rates is also provided in the conclusion.

Different Approaches to Crime Prevention
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In response to rising crime rates during the last half of the 20th century, law enforcement agencies across the country engaged in a wide range of reforms in an effort to reduce crime and improve public confidence in their safety. These issues became all the more critical following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and as a result, a number of police departments have hired additional staff, many using federal funds specifically allocated for the purpose. One of the goals of these initiatives was to improve overall arrest rates as a measure of law enforcement effectiveness in carrying out their duties; however, because the decision to arrest is based on a wide range of frequently changing social and administrative factors, studies have shown time and again that there is little, if any, correlation between actual police response times to criminal scenes and the percentage of people who are arrested as a result."

Law Enforcement, 2008.
This paper discusses the importance of a well-defined classification system within the field of law enforcement.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that classifications serve many purposes for different agencies and organizations and fields, including law enforcement. Classification is a tool that, when used correctly, can help agencies devote time to critical matters efficiently. Classification provides agencies the ability to assign cases or problems to specific classes and people that provide expert advice and direction within those fields. The writer points out that this is an important consideration, especially with regard to the fields of law and law enforcement. The writer maintains that without a well-defined classification system within the field of law enforcement, too many cases might be overlooked or lumped into inappropriate categories, resulting in improper investigation or lack of follow up. The writer concludes that because there is so much potential for proper and efficient law enforcement when categories and sub-categories are specialized, it is critical that law enforcement agencies consider and review their classification system regularly.
Outline:
Classification Overview
Classification in Law Enforcement
Purposes of Classes & Sub-Classes in Law Enforcement
Reasons for Classification in Law Enforcement
Classification by System
From the Paper
"The role of the researcher in a law enforcement sub-category of social services may serve as a lecturer, offering information to organizations or companies about fields of interest in social work. The role of the head of the department may include supervising the work of field experts and monitoring progress, as well as assigning cases to specific experts in the social work sub-category of the classification of Social Work under law enforcement. Professional staff may also serve in the social work classification field under direction of one of the researchers or the head of the law enforcement agency; the role of this staff member may be administrative. This suggests an administrative officer working under the social work classification in law enforcement will help the department manage family law cases, including reports of abuse or recommendations regarding incarceration of related family or other information."

Deadly Force and the Law Enforcement Agents, 2002.
This paper examines the use of deadly force by law enforcement agents and concludes that law enforcement?s recourse to deadly force where necessary should not be significantly reduced.

Abstract
This paper evaluates both sides of the issue about the use of deadly force by law enforcement agents by using a formal logic format of two premises and a conclusion. This paper states that suing every cop who uses deadly force or disarming law enforcement altogether is not the answer to problems that attend the use of deadly force. The author concludes that there is compelling evidence that law enforcement organizations have been conscientious in recent years about developing an ethos of public protection and service and firearm safety. Annotated Bibliography.
From the Paper
"Such attitudes and trends help explain why police personnel are increasingly at risk. Police are put in the position of continually second-guessing themselves in the matter of use of deadly force. This means that law-enforcement effectiveness can suffer, which can further erode public safety and make respect for the law an irrelevant social proposition."

Abstract
This study presents an overview of some of the important literature on the subject of law enforcement's role in an emergency situation. Because the role that law enforcement plays in these types of situations can be so varied, it is important from a policy perspective to consider the relevant analysis of the subject in order to develop a clearer grasp of what effective roles law enforcement agencies can play in an emergency management situation. The examination reveals what, if any, consensus exists on the matter of the role that law enforcement agencies should take in an emergency management situation.
Outline:
Introduction
Literature Review
Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The existing literature on the question of law enforcement's role in emergency management is quite varied. This can be attributed in large part to the reality that emergency management situations can be incredibly varied and present demands to law enforcement agencies that are quite different from one incident to the next. For instance, the pressures placed on law enforcement agencies during the mitigation of a terrorist attack will be quite different from said agency's responses to a natural disaster, to a HAZMAT incident, or to a public health emergency. Despite these differences in circumstances, common themes emerge throughout the literature that suggests that law enforcement's role will be an extension of its traditional roles in protecting life and property in non-emergency management situations.

Local Law Enforcement of Immigration Laws, 2006.
A discussion regarding the controversial topic of illegal immigration.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the problem of illegal immigration into the USA. According to the paper, recent attempts to address the issue through local enforcement may have unsuspecting consequences and a negative impact on the Latino communities.
From the Paper
"According to critics, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 led to the legalization of vast numbers of undocumented immigrants as a means of reducing unsanctioned immigration, however its main effect was to reinforce and expand established cross-border migration networks and create a thriving business in fraudulent documents (Nevins). These unintended consequences laid the foundation for the anti-immigration backlash that eventually emerged during the 1990's, partially due to political and bureaucratic entrepreneurs who sparked public sentiment by focusing on the border as both the source of the problem and the site of policy solution (Nevins). Others argue that the backlash was not merely against illegal immigrants, but was rather directed against immigrants in general, particularly "the nonwhite, non-English speaking, and the relatively poor" (Nevins). These concerns resulted in a declaration of "war" against unauthorized immigrants which led to a short-term shift in INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) policing tactics along the Mexico-U.S. border and to the massive infusion of enforcement-related resources, such as California's Operation Gatekeeper (Nevins).

Law Enforcement Ethics, 2002.
A paper which discusses the importance of law enforcement officers to work with responsibility and commitment, within the ethical boundaries defined by society.
911 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that in order to keep the law and order situation of the society under control, it is necessary for the law enforcement agencies to establish efficient and effective guidelines for law enforcement. It shows too, however, that it is also important to consider the ethical perspectives before making any decision in this regard. The primary responsibility of the law enforcement agencies is to work for the benefit of the society and serve the community. In this regard, they are responsible for protecting the citizens from criminal activities and keep the environment peaceful. The paper discusses how effective law enforcement ensures the security of lives and properties of the citizens and safeguards their individual liberty and rights. In addition to this, the law enforcement agencies should make sure that their actions and policies are in conformance to the ethical standards of the society and do not violate any ethical or moral principle.
From the Paper
"It is also important to note that the law enforcement officials should be trustworthy, responsible, fair and should respect each and every member of the society regardless of his or her race, religion or ethnic origin. He or she should be honest with his or her job and should completely fulfill his or her obligations. In addition to this, he should be responsible enough to keep his promises and to fulfill his commitments. Another important aspect to be kept in mind, while serving as a law enforcement officer, is that he or she should respect the individual liberty of every individual and treat the citizens fairly regardless of their race, ethnicity or religion. Moreover, they should keep a considerably high level of tolerance and should patiently deal with individuals who are either not willing to cooperate with them or are trying to abuse them."

Abstract
The paper begins by discussing the concept of decentralized management, looking at its advantage for organizations in the corporate sector, at the reasons why it does not improve the situation of law enforcement agencies and at the importance of good leadership. Next the paper focuses on organizational communication. It discusses how a lack of this communication can affect efficiency and productivity and looks at this problem within the running of law enforcement agencies; focusing on inefficiencies in the criminal justice department. Finally, the paper explores problem solving, looking at the attempt by law enforcement agencies to identify and resolve problems. Crime analysis is discussed and the SARA (Scanning, Analysis, Response, Assessment) approach is explained. The paper concludes with a look at successful problem solving implementation by various law enforcement agencies.
From the Paper
"Decentralized management is the buzzword these days, as it is believed that centralized management structures no longer produce positive results. It has been noticed that decentralization paves way for more autonomy among various units and leads to employee empowerment, one thing that has been the cornerstone of productivity in the 21st century. But does decentralized management really works in all types of organizations. That is not exactly true. While the corporate sector reaps the benefits of decentralized environment where various departments and units maintain almost complete autonomy and thus have control over decision-making process, law enforcement agencies have failed to extract the best out of this system of management. In the latter, it has actually resulted in more corruption and less accountability."

Abstract
This paper discusses possible definitions of justice in its relation to law enforcement. It particularly discusses how criminal justice is connected to the idea of due process. The paper then focuses on current practices within law enforcement that demonstrate justice. The paper argues that policies and practices created to increase public order or individual rights are frequently seen to diminish that which they were put in place to protect. Finally, the paper discusses how justice as it applies to law enforcement in America has changed since the advent of September 11, 2001 and the direction it will take in the future.
Table of Contents:
Current Practices Demonstrating Justice
Community Policing
Miranda Law
Cross-agency Cooperation
Changes following September 11th
USA Patriot Act
Department of Homeland Security
Airport Security
Future Challenges
Consequences of the Patriot Act
Funding
Racial Profiling
Prediction for Law Enforcement
From the Paper
"Rapidly expanding technologies, including computer networking, the Internet, wireless services of all kinds, and simple access to relatively anonymous forms of electronic communication, signal a new era for the American justice system and more importantly, law enforcement. On the other hand, law enforcement access to high-technology investigative tools has produced enormous amounts of information on crimes and suspects, and the use of innovative investigative tools are beginning to shape many of the practical aspects of the 21st century criminal justice system. Sadly, in my opinion, the criminal justice system of the future will look much like the system we know today."

Stress and Law Enforcement, 2007.
This paper discusses the importance and strategies of stress management in law enforcement.
2,427 words (approx. 9.7 pages), 14 sources, MLA, AU$ 107.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that too much stress or prolonged stress can be debilitating and certain kinds of stress are more pronounced for law enforcement officers. The paper relates that significant stressors are events in which children are involved, coping with death, being threatened with a weapon and mostly, the death of a fellow police officer. The paper discusses how police officers not only experience greater levels of stress, but they often haven't learned to cope with it effectively. The paper concludes that police officers can learn to cope more effectively with the stressful challenges of their careers and they can benefit from therapy when stress gets overwhelming, but law enforcement agencies can do their part by removing unnecessary stressors.
From the Paper
"Police officers report a higher incidence of stress-related illnesses and complaints such as headaches, ulcers, skin rashes, gastrointestinal disorders, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease (Albert, 1982; Alkus & Padesky, 1983). Severe nervous conditions and emotional disturbances leading to suicide are found at higher levels than for other occupations (Burke, 1993). Younger officers seem to suffer greater impairment than older and more experienced officers, the first year on the job being the worst."

Communication and Law Enforcement, 2006.
The paper focuses on the changing role of the police and law enforcement in communication.

Abstract
The paper examines the modern trend in policing which has meant a change in the perception and role of the police in society. Interaction and communication are important today to create trust and cooperation and in solving crimes. According to the paper, in order to provide a more effective and wide-ranging community oriented form of law enforcement, the police and law enforcement authorities should communicate and connect with the public. The paper discusses the idea of marketing through communication relating to the more interactive approach to the function and role of the police in society. The paper concludes that conventional views of communication in a logistical and technological sense is essential for the success of law enforcement procedures and operations. Thus the importance of information and information gathering has assumed an increasing importance in modern times.
From the Paper
"Communication in the modern age is an essential part of law enforcement and the control and containment of crime. On the one hand good communication systems and up - to - date communication technology is essential in dealing with modern sophisticated crime. However on another level, what has become possibly more important today is the idea that the police and law enforcement authorities should communicate and connect with the public in order to provide a more effective and wide -ranging community oriented form of law enforcement. This paper will focus on the latter idea of what is meant by the changing role of the police and law enforcement in communication."

Abstract
This well-researched paper opens with a comprehensive and historic look into both the American and British law enforcement agencies. The writer of this paper traces the origins of the British Sheriff's office back to the Norman Conquest which took place in 1066. This paper delves into the significant increase of international terrorism while focusing on the effectiveness of various law enforcement agencies in America and around the world in combating this growing problem. This paper discusses the views and opinions of several historians regarding the increase and decrease of crime and terror from the medieval times and up to the present. The writer of this paper examines specific historic events and their resulting impact on global terrorism including the fall of the Soviet Union, the Cold War and the 9/11 terror attacks. This paper analyzes the manner in which the Bush Administration moved to establish additional intelligence and enforcement cooperation among the existing agencies in order to more effectively face terrorist threats such as al-Qaida. This paper contains detailed and in-depth historical facts and dates relevant to this particular topic. This paper also examines the manner in which recent advancements and progress in technology are assisting law enforcement agencies around the world to thwart off potential threats of terror.
From the Paper
"Various historians have offered various different reasons for the unexpected decrease in the crime rate during the comparatively modern times, and there were some who assumed that perhaps it was industrialization and urbanization and modernization that contributed to this phenomenon. There were some other scholars and researchers who theorized that in actuality crime had not diminished, but had in fact shifted form bodily assaults that were popular in those times, to crimes that were more or less closely related to property, which also indicated that the nature of crime had shifted from an innate scarcity and paucity, to a greater prosperity as well as a free availability of material goods and possessions during modern times. There is also another form of opinion, which states that the decrease in crime seemed to have happened irrespective of industrialization and urbanization."

From the Paper
"Citizens may refute any cross interrogations as regards the answer when it comes to incriminating them. Like when an officer just emerges and cross questions you have the privilege, you are apprehended, to refute any questions if the answers have an inclination to punish you. Furthermore, anything you blurt out can be applied as evidence against you. Sometimes people are of the belief that what they are blurting out cannot punish them, when as a matter of fact, what they blurt out gives association in a continuity of information that would punish them. You have no privilege to make debate about why you are apprehended or about your involvement or innocence at the time of apprehension. Debating or resisting the police will not give you a hand in anyway. It will give meaning that the police can bring forth extra criminal accusations against you, and it may turn it difficult for you to set free or get on bail if you are incriminated."
