In judicial systems, the role of a leader and manager differ in that they utilize different strategies to meet organizational goals. Managers focus on the institution’s operational aspect by ensuring that all daily routines and activities are achieved. They are responsible for functions such as planning institutional budgets, recruitment of new staff members, and maintenance of infrastructure (Giblin, 2016). They are also involved in reviewing employee performance to make decisions such as firing or promotions. On the contrary, leaders play a critical role in developing relationships with their juniors. They interact closely with subordinates to influence their performance in the system.

Persons with Mental Illness

/in /by

The criminal justice system often becomes the first point of contact for treatment of persons with mental illness. As such, professionals in the system must have strategies and processes for interacting ethically and safely with members of this population and for promoting the welfare of individuals with mental illness and the safety interests of the community. There are many programs that provide frameworks for working with this population. The crisis intervention team (CTI) or “Memphis Model” is considered one of the gold standards. It was developed in partnership with the Memphis Police Department and University of Memphis and is now promoted by the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

To Prepare

Explore the resources about the CIT model in this week’s Learning Resources.

Consider the value of such programs in our current criminal justice system.

The Assignment (2 pages)

Your submission should include the following:

An explanation of specific areas in which programs like CIT can benefit law enforcement and the communities they serve

An explanation of potential risks to people with mental illness, community members, and criminal justice professionals that could exist without commitment to such programs

Requirements: 2 pages

Answer preview

CIT is a commitment among the three stakeholders: the community, law enforcement officers, and mental healthcare providers. The program cannot run without the other; the parties are interdependent such that if one party is not committed then the objective of CIT will not be achieved. The three components need to collaborate for the program to be effective for the police officers, healthcare providers, and the community. The model has a framework for training that help in assisting people with mental illness while also ensuring the safety of the community, police officers, and the families involved. All these three components must understand their role in making the program efficient and give maximum cooperation to their positions.

Another right is freedom from arbitrary punishments and cruel punishments. According to the Eighth Amendment, every inmate has the right to be free from inhuman treatment that can be considered cruel punishment. However, the Eighth Amendment has not clearly indicated which actions are brutal, but the Supreme court states that such punishments include beheading, burning alive, and disemboweling, among others. According to Mckee (2019), inmates should also have the right to freedom from sexual harassment. That applies to sexual crimes from either fellow inmates or prison personnel. According to the court rules, guards, administrators, and government officials are liable for inflicting conditions on inmates that can allow sexual harassment or allowing any form of sexual harassment within

Each response will require approximately 1.5 pages. Be sure to use citation where appropriate.

  1. Describe in detail the central thesis behind Broken Windows policing. How does Broken Windows fit into Packer’s two models of criminal process? That is, is Broken Windows more closely linked to Crime Control or Due Process? What implications does this have and what might Packer suggest are some of the consequences of this approach?
  2. Police are often faced with difficult conflicts in their career roles. They are expected to protect the public from a number of dangers that law enforcement just a few decades ago were not asked to police. For example, police today are expected to play an important role in helping to fight terrorism and prevent illegal immigration. What sort of difficulties might these diversions from traditional police work create for law enforcement and their relationship with the public? How might these changes in policing affect how the public views the police and affect how the police view the public?
  3. Tyler discusses the importance of legitimacy for developing support and cooperation with police. In the changing face of policing, specifically as law enforcement has become more militarized, how might willful cooperation and support of the police change? What effects might the militarization of the police have on the public’s view of police as legitimate?
  4. When detailing the policeman’s lot, Reiss describes the steps an officer must go through in detailing the “plot” of a situation. Describe these different steps and how they have changed and their relevance since Reiss’s writing.
  5. What role might racial disparities in the criminal justice system, especially in policing, and the war on crime have on promoting the support and cooperation of the public with police? What policies may be effective in helping to ameliorate any problems that might exist?
  6. Reiss describes the importance of reciprocity in the relationship between the police and the public. What can happen when this breaks down? Describe some recent examples of this decline in reciprocity and what could be done to ensure that it does not completely erode.

marginalized and disadvantaged groups will have no access to safety, increasing the crime rates within the community (Cole and Gertz, 2012). It is a significant challenge as there would be underfunding policing for the poor populations while the more responsive policing for the affluent communities. It creates a considerable inequality to access safety, impacting the wellbeing of a community and contributing to more crime, in the case of immigration, either legal or illegal immigration. Until recently, most police agencies in the United States believed that executing immigration laws was a federal rather than a municipal job. The police wanted immigrants to feel free to approach the police if victims of crime, especially when employers exploited them. Even persons who were in the nation unlawfully deserved to be protected by the law, according to police officials. However, in response to rising anti-illegal immigration sentiments, police forces have begun to enforce immigration laws (Reiss, 1973). As expected, this has alienated these communities when connecting with immigrants is more important as they form a significant part of the United States population and society.

CJ101-01 final essay topic

A vehicle is traveling 50mph on a roadway with a posted speed limit of 35mph. The police officer observes the vehicle and utilizing his radar unit (operating under the Doppler principal), confirms that vehicle is indeed driving 15 miles over the posted speed limit.

The police officer activates his overhead lights and siren and effects a motor vehicle stop of the violator’s vehicle. Upon approaching the vehicle, he notices a white male operating the vehicle with a Hispanic male passenger. Upon speaking with the driver, the police officer detects an odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle.

When utilizing his flashlight to illuminate the interior of the vehicle, he observes a marijuana pipe with burnt greenish brown vegetation indicative of marijuana. The police officer orders the subjects out of the vehicle and seizes the paraphernalia.

Please explain if the stop, search and seizure was legal, indicating if there was probable cause and what it was. Explain what would happen next following all of the components of the criminal justice system.

In the United States, citizen’s right to privacy and non-interference by members of law enforcement is entrenched in the Constitution (Capers & Burke, 2014). The same law provides a framework upon which members of the police force can execute search and seizures in properties owned by private citizens and corporations. There is a procedure that has to get followed if the materials they seize are to form part of the evidence presented before a court of law. Failure to do this renders the material useless as the method that led to their acquisition was questionable. The stakeholders in the criminal justice system have to ensure that all procedures get followed to ensure Justice gets attained.(2507 words)
