You can choose any career in law. I know that some of you are not interested in a career in law enforcement, but for this assignment, select a law enforcement career- you never know :) Choose any of the below careers. You can be a Due Process person and choose to be a defense attorney and defend people that are charged with crimes such as murder, rape, drugs, terrorism etc...

You can be a crime control prosecutor and decide if charges should be filed and or represent the victims and try to put away the guilty.

Be an FBI, DEA, CIA agent, criminalist, probation officer, parole agent, 911 dispatcher, police psychologist, drug counselor, or anything you want. The world is yours.

Look at Domestic Violence videos that I have in this section.

See this week's video. Search You Tube for videos that are in favor or aginst Prop 57 So, there are 3 parts to this week's discussion- Complete all for 10 points Video address: · · Xilin Chen Tuesday10月 31 at 7:20ä¸Šåˆ Manage Discussion Entry In this situation, I would pick correctional officer in the prison system. To be crowded in the prison would not a good situation for me.

However, I am against Prop 57 because it is dangerous for the whole society. To put people in the jail is the punishment and we need them to actually understand about the punishment is serious and is not like “we give you a five year sentence, but you only need to stay in prison for three years only.†It is not serious enough and it makes more people to choose commit crimes because the punishment is not serious at all. Second, it will make the community becomes more dangerous. More prisoners come out with not enough training and education, it will end up to commit crimes again and again. Lack of opportunity for them to work, and some of them just want to get the money from illegal way will provide bad result and the gang has more members to in and out from the prison, and it becomes dangerous.

Although my job duties will be less if fewer people in the jail, it is not about the job duty, it is more about the whole family. I do not my family members get hurt by those violence prisoner in the future. I think we can set up more prison or we can hire more correctional officers to help us to provide better service in the prison. However, if the prison can help the society would be better. · Haorong Ruan Haorong Ruan Tuesday10月 31 at 8:08ä¸Šåˆ Manage Discussion Entry In this week discussion, I have an opportunity to work as the law enforcement. I did not sure I will work as the law enforcement, I would pick to be a judge in this time.

Props 57 is the Proposition allows parole consideration for nonviolent felons, change policies on juvenile prosecution. I against this Proposition because I think it is not good for the society. As we know, in this Proposition we lost the reason on deciding about the length in prison. The judge suppose to decide the correct “length†for the criminals if they are judged as guilty. However, it is not fair if the criminals can stay shorter in the prison.

However, it is not okay to think violence criminals are different from non violence criminals. The non violence criminals can also provide danger to the society to sell illegal drugs to harm different kind of people. As a judge I will not happy on every decision to only have two third of punishment. After spending only a short period of time in prison and it is dangerous because the correctional service will be cover at all. As a judge, I will plan to decide longer sentence depends on the sentence can be shorter if they did “well†in the prison.

I think we need to let other people know to live in prison is a punishment and it is serious and harsh. I think it is not possible to do the Prop 57 and I will against this Proposition. ReplyReply to Comment · Collapse Subdiscussion Wei Wei Wei Wei Tuesday10月 31 at 8:44ä¸Šåˆ Manage Discussion Entry This week topic is interesting and I have a chance to work as law enforcement officer. I will pick as defense lawyer on this time. After I check up this Proposition57, I am support this Proposition.

The reason why I think it is workable because we need to give another chance for the criminals. Some opinions think it is dangerous for the society, but I think it will be possible to prevent. Many criminals commit crimes not because of the regular criminals and some of them just need money to survive. After the correctional service, they suppose to have a second chance on it and I think to release earlier will give them a better chance to be succeed. Second, it avoids the “good†prisoners to contact with the “bad†prisoners for a longer period of time.

Many criminals met each other during their prison period. If the US has a nice correctional system like in Northern European Countries would be much better to be trusted that criminals will not commit crimes again. However, in the States, we are survived in the over-crowded prison like a third world countries and we just did not have enough staff to watch and educate the prisoners from time to time. It is better for the system to have fewer people in the prison to avoid they become worse. Last, to build up a peaceful society.

We should teach the public to understand that people that release from the prison was not horrible, the thing that makes it horrible are because their heart. ReplyReply to Comment · Collapse Subdiscussion Ashley Zapata Ashley Zapata Yesterday11月 1 at 3:41ä¸‹åˆ Manage Discussion Entry #1 The career in law enforcement I would choose is to be a correctional officer that works in the prison system. I chose this career because I'm aware that prisons are bad and the prisoners are always in some kind of trouble for many reasons. I would like to help prevent fights, murders and drug dealing by knowing when things are going to happen. Prisoners hide weapons in them, in the yard, and in their rooms, so I would be alert that they have weapons when fights occur.

I want to prevent any kind of thing that goes on in the prisoner for the safeness of the people and to help them out to not get time added to their sentence. I know it's not an easy job and can be hard due to the inmates wanting you to work with their businesses, but it's a carer I would choose. After seeing the domestic violence clips I could not handle being a 911 dispatcher. Just hearing the little girl named Lisa crying and creaming for help as her step dad hits her mom is sad. Its heartbreaking knowing what people so young go through viewing domestic violence occurring.

Poor little girl was terrified to know her mom and then her little sister were being hurt, just being on the phone hearing all the crying and yelling would make me feel like I'm not doing much. I know I call police and have them go wherever there is a 911 call, however i feel that if I was a 911 dispatcher I would personally want to be there helping whoever is calling. I can't bear a situation like just happen with Lisa and be on the phone waiting for the police to get to the home. #2 The DUI clips are very sad because the person under the influence is not aware the trouble they are causing. They cause trouble to themselves and other with the incidents that occur. For a moment of fun can take away someone's life and their own freedom.

A person or people do not need to die of be in a harmful accident, because of someone's actions, I find this very unfair. DUI car crashes cause a lot of damage due to their speed of driving and should therefore understand before they drive what can happen. #3 I am against prop 57 because any person can be released from jail and that is not right. They are in there for a reason and if they committed the crime once, they can commit the crime again. People should really reconsider prop 57 due to who will be released. I know many people want this prop to pass, because of their loved ones, but it's not fair to the community.

I have loved ones in prison and just because they committed minor offenses does not mean another person with minor offenses would be released. I'm against prop 57 and feel is would make jail less crowded but will make more crimes in the community. Case Study II You have been working in the human resources department for a large convention hotel in Dallas, Texas. Ramon, one of the bell staff associates, comes into your office loudly complaining that he didn’t get his annual wage increase as he was promised by his supervisor, Joe, the guest service manager. You ask him if he has discussed this with Joe and he says that he has approached Joe three times and Joe still hasn’t done anything about the increase so that is why he is coming to HR.

You then ask him when his raise was due and he says it was to begin last month. You then ask him how he did on his performance appraisal for the past year and he says he doesn’t know what the rating was or if there are any areas for improvement. He assumed no improvement was required since he was promised the raise. You follow up by asking him did he even have a performance review with Joe and he tells you that he was called into Joe’s office and was simply told to sign a form and that he would be getting a raise. He didn’t know how much the raise would be.

At this point, you become very concerned and tell him that you will meet with the Maria, the human resource director and get back to him before the end of the day. He agrees and goes back to the lobby area to work. Initial Questions: 1. What do you think happened to cause this situation? 2.

Is this a proper way to handle a performance appraisal of an associate? 3. How should the performance appraisal have been handled? Additional facts: After Ramon, the bellman leaves your office you approach Maria, the human resource director, and relay the information you received from Ramon. Maria, looking very disappointed, sighs heavily and says that she has had some concerns about Joe and that this is a good opportunity for you to learn how to handle these matters.

Maria called Joe on the phone immediately and scheduled a meeting. Within the hour, Joe appears and Maria informs Joe that she has been through this with Joe once before about the importance of performance appraisals and the process for delivering the performance appraisals to associates. Whether Joe believes the appraisals are important or not, if the process isn’t followed, Maria said that she would need to speak with Joe’s supervisor, Pamela, the assistant general manager, about Joe’s noncompliance. Joe pleads with Maria not to take any immediate action and defends himself by saying it has been very busy and he just didn’t have the time to do the performance appraisals properly. Maria reiterated that she has been more than fair with Joe in the past.

If this had been the first time, Maria would have cut him some slack but this has happened before. Maria then asked Joe if there are more than one associate who Joe oversees that has not had a proper performance review and/or wage increase. Joe stated no and that this was the only bellman that wasn’t given a proper performance appraisal or wage increase. Maria proceeded to tell Joe that he is being irresponsible to his staff and to the hotel. Maria said the worst part is that Ramon was due his raise over a month ago and no paperwork was turned in for the wage increase.

Joe slumped down in his seat and asked Maria what he should do now. Without hesitation, Maria told him to process the payroll change form immediately, go to the director of finance in accounting and ask for a manual check to be cut for Ramon with the amount to compensate him for the increase in his wages for the month, hand the check to Ramon, let him know what areas in his performance he is doing well and those items needing improvement and finally, apologize for the delay. Joe is alarmed because he knows he will need Pamela’s permission to cut the manual check and he would be forced to tell her what happened. Maria said for him not to be so concerned that he will look bad in Pamela’s eyes because he already looks bad to the associates, which is worse.

Maria then offers to call Pamela herself but Joe declines as he knows that would be worse for him. Maria then told Joe that once he has done all of the above, to send Ramon to the HR office so Maria can check to make sure all was handled correctly. As Joe stood up to leave, Maria said that if he didn’t start complying with the rules for performance appraisals, she would come after him and while looking Joe squarely in the eyes, said, “Do you understand me?†Joe then departed with a snarl on his face. After Joe departs the HR office, Maria tells you to go see Ramon and let him know things are being taken care of by Joe and for Ramon to come see Maria after he meets with Joe. You smile and leave the office while Maria mentions to you that you must get tough with the guys sometimes and now you will know how to handle situations like this one.

Additional Questions: 1. Why was it important to ask Joe about other situations with other associates? 2. Was Maria being too tough on Joe? Why or why not?

Be specific. 3. Why did Maria insist that a manual check be cut for Ramon before the end of the day? 4. Do you think Joe’s excuse for not doing the performance appraisal was justified?

Why or why not? Be specific. 5. What action should Maria take to verify just how busy Joe is that he can’t do performance appraisals on time and why? Should Maria inquire about this or leave it alone?

Career Choice in Law Enforcement: Correctional Officer

In considering a career in law enforcement, I have chosen to be a correctional officer within the prison system. The role of a correctional officer is critical to maintaining safety and security within the prison environment, where conditions can be volatile and prisoners may exhibit violent behavior. Working as a correctional officer involves ensuring the safety of both inmates and staff, as well as implementing rehabilitation programs that can help reduce recidivism rates.
Correctional officers play a multifaceted role. They are responsible for supervising inmates, conducting security checks, preventing fights, monitoring behavior, and intervening in situations that may escalate into violence (Petersilia, 2000). This position requires strong interpersonal skills, as one must communicate effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds while maintaining authority and respect. Additionally, correctional officers must be able to make quick decisions under high levels of stress, prioritizing safety above all else.
A career as a correctional officer is not just about enforcing rules; it involves contributing to a larger rehabilitation process. Many inmates are struggling with issues such as substance abuse, mental illness, and lack of education or job skills that contributed to their criminal behavior (Travis & Petersilia, 2001). By engaging with inmates and understanding their individual challenges, correctional officers can help facilitate programs that promote personal development, ultimately aiming for the inmates' successful reintegration into society.
However, my choice also brings concerns regarding societal implications, particularly in relation to laws and policies affecting the prison population, such as Proposition 57. I am against Proposition 57 as it proposes to allow earlier parole for nonviolent offenders. While I believe in rehabilitation and providing second chances, this proposition raises concerns about the safety of communities. Early release could result in reintegration without adequate preparation or rehabilitation, possibly causing repeat offenses once released (Cohen, 2013). It is critical to ensure that incarcerated individuals receive proper training and education that equips them for success outside prison walls. Otherwise, communities could become vulnerable to crime, resulting in the very issues we aim to ameliorate through effective law enforcement and correctional practices.
In summary, while becoming a correctional officer is a career path I find valuable and fulfilling, it also entails significant responsibilities and advocacy against policies such as Proposition 57, which could undermine public safety and rehabilitation efforts.

Response to Classmate: Ashley Zapata

Ashley, I appreciate your insight and the thoughtfulness of your response regarding the role of a correctional officer. Your acknowledgment of the challenges that come with being in an environment like a prison resonates with me. You highlight an important aspect of the job: the need for vigilance in preventing violence and maintaining safety within the facility.
I share your perspective on the impact of the domestic violence clips; they indeed emphasize the emotional toll these situations take on both victims and those who respond to them. However, I’d like to expand on your thoughts about DUI incidents, as they often lead to heartbreaking consequences. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (2021), over 10,000 people die from alcohol-impaired crashes every year in the United States alone. This statistic underscores the importance of responsible driving and adhering to legal guidelines, making us realize the broader societal implications of such individual decisions.
Regarding your stance against Proposition 57, I agree with you that early release could potentially jeopardize community safety. It’s essential for society to consider the potential risks involved in reducing prison terms without ensuring a robust support system for reintegrating individuals. Your concern about the implications for family and community members is valid; ensuring their safety should always be our priority.
In conclusion, your reflections on the career of a correctional officer underscore the complexity of law enforcement roles and the societal responsibilities they carry. While the rehabilitation of inmates is vital, public safety must remain at the forefront of any discussion surrounding corrections policy. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful analysis, and I look forward to further discussions with you!
