The Appropriate Role of Government in Enforcing Morality
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of the perceived phenomena of over criminalization, the perception
that our police, prosecutorial, and judicial time, personnel, and resources are being diverted to an excess in attempts to regulate public morality. The author of this paper contends that if we consider history and what is occurring and has occurred not only in our own country but in
other countries, it is easy to ascertain that there is not a phenomena of over criminalization in this country and that, in fact, just the opposite may be occurring. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The Causes Of Crime Are Really Irrelevant As Far As Situational Remedies Are Concerned
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Crime theories are an important collection of scientific reasons why criminal behavior occurs throughout society. People exposed to different environmental and social stimuli have been shown to exhibit certain behaviors experts contend are responsible for motivating them toward criminal activity. These circumstances – such as poverty, absentee parenting or stereotype vulnerability - condition individuals to circumvent civilized social behavior in order to justify the need to utilize crime as a way in which to get what they can otherwise not obtain. However, while crime theories have a prominent and well-earned place within the context of understanding criminal behavior, they are wholly unsuccessful in addressing situational crime, a reality that occurs only when conditions are collectively present to encourage the crime to take place. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

The Dark Subculture of Law Enforcement
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of the police profession and the subculture that characterizes it. The author contends that the law enforcement profession directs the interests of those engaged in it, shapes their values, determines their relationships with others, and pulls people of similar interests and often similar personalities together. In most cases this is a positive phenomena. In some ways, however, the police profession is a subculture that has more of a deleterious impact on society than a positive one. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
