Unit I Scholarly Activity

Instructions

Community Policing in My Community

To assist you in gaining a new or enhanced understanding of how community policing is defined in your community, you will need to complete a scholarly activity that examines four areas: policing eras, citizen-police interactions, international policing, and best practices.

Each area should be labeled as indicated below.

Policing Eras: Discuss how community policing is defined in your community. This section should be at least 200 words.

Citizen-Police Interactions: Discuss how the understanding of the community policing definition in your community will be helpful in fostering and facilitating positive interactions between citizens and law enforcement agencies in your community. Also, examine the impact of excessive force by police in your community. If there is not any record of the use of excessive force by police in your community, discuss what measures have been taken to prevent it from happening. This section should be at least 200 words.

International Policing: Discuss how well you think the community policing strategies serve and protect your community in comparison to other international community policing strategies. Explain how the United States Constitution makes law enforcement in the United States different from law enforcement in other countries. This section should be at least 200 words.

Best Practices: Based on your research, discuss at least two community policing practices that you believe would allow your local law enforcement to better serve and protect. These practices could include current community policing strategies utilized in your community, additional strategies that you think could be incorporated into the existing community, and/or community policing strategies that have never been used in your community but have been utilized in other communities and/or countries or are inspired by similar community policing strategies. This section should be at least 200 words.

To complete this assignment, you should utilize not only your textbook, but also two outside sources. These could include your local newspaper, CSU Online Library, and/or an informational interview with a community stakeholder (e.g., individuals in community organizations, law enforcement). The completed assignment should be at least two double- spaced pages. Additionally, this assignment should be in full APA format, hence citations and references should be included.

Unit III Article Review

Instructions

Proactive Community Policing

The findings from criminal justice research help us to understand how theories and concepts can be applied to real-world phenomena. One way to make such applications is to review research which explores one or more key concepts discussed in this unit.

For this article review, you will need to locate a scholarly, peer-reviewed article in the CSU Online Library that examines the use of the Scanning, Analysis, Response, Assessment (SARA) Model in various forms of law enforcement. Keep in mind that the article you locate does not have to use the term SARA, but instead may describe techniques associated with the model. Thus, you may need to read several article abstracts before you are able to identify the article that you will use for this article review. The article you use for this assignment should be no more than 10 years old.

Note: When using the CSU Online Library, there are various databases that allow you to check a box, which indicates that you only want “peer-reviewed” sources. You will need to make sure that you check this box to ensure that the sources you identify for your article review are scholarly, peer-reviewed sources.

The article review will need to include the following components:

a brief discussion of the research study’s focus (e.g., purpose for conducting research, research questions and/or hypotheses, methodology);

a brief summarization of the research study’s key findings (e.g., hypotheses were or were not supported; additional research is needed in a specific area); and

a brief discussion of the applicability of the research study’s key findings to current and future practices in the field of criminal justice.

You may use your direct experience, information from the textbook, and/or information from additional sources to complete this component of the article review.

Each section of your article review must be clearly labeled using the following section headings:

Research Focus,

Research Findings, and

Research Applications.

Note: Each component of the article review should be your own words. No more than 20% of your article review should be a direct quote. Thus, you will need to read the article and rewrite the study’s focus (component 1) and key findings (component 2) in your own words. You will have to use your intellectual creativity to brainstorm how the study’s key findings can be applied to practices in the field of criminal justice (component 3). Therefore, there should be very little need to use direct quotes in your article review.

Your article review should be a minimum of one double-spaced page. Be sure to cite, in APA format, any source used to influence your response. Therefore, your reference list should at least include a citation of the article you used to prepare the article review.

Community Policing Partnerships

Read the case study linked below. After reading the case study from an earlier assignment, you will have to prepare a response from two viewpoints. The first viewpoint will be that of a patrol officer assigned to foot patrol. The second viewpoint will be that of a community member who has lived in the community for 25 years. From each viewpoint, you are to answer the following questions and provide justification for your answers:

How did the impact of the media coverage about the crime rate in the Anonymous Community (e.g., strained community relationships and national/international perceptions) demonstrate the importance of a good relationship between the police and the media?

What strategies could police employ to ensure an accurate picture of the citizens, crime problem, and solutions for addressing the crime problem in the Anonymous Community are communicated to the media?

How could police and the media partners help address the crime problem in the Anonymous Community?

What should the dynamics of the partnership between the media and police look like in regards to addressing the crime problem in the Anonymous Community?
