California Highway Patrolman Craig Peyer: How His Murder Case Affected The General Public's Trust Of Police Officers
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. In 1987, a California Highway Patrol officer was arrested for the strangulation murder of college student Cara Knott while on duty; he was convicted in 1988 after two trials. This case, which made legal history on several issues, served to add to the growing distrust the general public already held toward police officers, giving the populace reason to believe their safety was not necessarily protected under the badge. According to testimony from several women, Patrolman Peyer had a history of pulling over female drivers on a particularly dark and desolate portion of San Diego highway, at which point he engaged the women in long, rambling conversations that left many uncomfortable and scared. How are citizens – women, in particular – supposed to abide by the law when being pulled over when they fear for their very lives if they do? Is the general public justified in feeling scared and vulnerable with regard to the handful of officers whose conduct detrimentally impacts the entire force? Bibliography lists 3 sources.

California Police Officers: Certain Physique And Weight Management
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The last one hundred years have served to transition the overall duties of police officers from highly physically demanding to duties shared between physicality and technology. Typically, big, strong men were representational of the early 1900s police force when walking was the only way in which to patrol the city. The ability to dart and dash after offenders was the primary means by which police officers could ever hope to apprehend, inasmuch as that era had little more than body-to-body contact for bringing down the perpetrator. Today, the advent of technology gives police officers a tremendous advantage over their historical counterparts with devices to stop and capture the offender, but that does not preclude the need for law enforcement officers to be in peak condition. Police work may not be as physical in nature as it was back at the turn of the century, however, it still entails a significant amount of maneuvering that requires officers be as physically fit as possible. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Capital Punishment and Juvenile Offenders
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper considers the issue of capital punishment for juvenile offenders. Over the course of the past two decades, the issue of capital punishment and its application for juvenile offenders has been at the heart of legal debates. In 1988, the United States Supreme Court, in their decision in the case of Thompson v. Oklahoma (487 U.S. 815 (1988)), argued that the use of capital punishment for minors constituted "cruel and unusual punishment" as defined by the Eighth Amendment. Just one year later, in the case of Stanford v. Kentucky (492 U.S. 361 (1989)), the Court held that the Eighth Amendment did not categorically oppose the use of capital punishment for 16 or 17 year old juvenile offenders.

Capital Punishment Related To Juvenile Crime
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The recent incidence of juvenile killers has brought to light a concern that has long challenged the fundamental components of a civilized society: Should adolescents who commit murder be sentenced to death the same as their adult counterparts? While some contend that permitting capital punishment blatantly violates both international law and constitutionality – asserting juveniles are often a product of their adverse environments and, therefore, should be given extensive behavioral therapy in order to assimilate back into society – others argue that adolescents who have not yet learned the difference between right and wrong should no longer be allowed to function as a civilized human being. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Capital Punishment: Morally Acceptable And Effective Crime Deterrent
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. The debate over capital punishment is perhaps one of the most vehemently fought social, ethical and political disputes raging as strongly today as it has in decades past. The extent to which no definitive decision exists whereby capital punishment is deemed either right or wrong is both grand and far-reaching; that biblical advocacy and proven deterrence help to shift the benefit of this much contested action in the pro directions speaks to two issues that justify its usage.

Capital Punishment: Overview And Opposition
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. From drugs to kidnapping and self-defense to first-degree murder, virtually no felon is free of the potential verdict of the death sentence. White-collar crime is just as vulnerable to a decision for capital punishment as is one who bludgeons his victim with his bare hands. The severity of the crime is not so much in the trail of blood left behind as it is in the overall aftermath. Inasmuch as capital punishment is such an intensely explosive issue, supporters and opponents alike do their best to persuade the opposition of their viewpoint. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Case Of Jeremiah Mearday: Conflict Theory
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The case of Jeremiah Mearday, where two Chicago police officers were invested for wrongly beating an eighteen-year-old African American man, illustrates the extent to which the conflict theory has overtaken any ethical aspects of the city's approach to law enforcement. Inasmuch as this particular criminal theory espouses how one's behavior is expressed through one's "self-interests in a material world of threat and violence" (Collins, 1974, pp. 56-61), white officers James Comito and Matthew Thiel of the Grand Central District took it upon themselves to violate Mearday's civil rights without provocation.
