Snitching in the community

Imagine you are the chief of police of your local community and have decided to implement a community-oriented policing program. One of the issues confronting your community is a phenomenon found in some urban communities called Stop Snitching.

Through the stop snitching project, we learned that many communities, police leaders, and prosecutors have been working on the stop snitching problem, and that many of the initiatives they have undertaken have had an impact. The programs represent promising practices for reversing the influence of the stop snitching campaign. Resources for preventing witness intimidation and for establishing witness protection programs available to law enforcement have helped encourage witnesses to come forward and have helped agencies to protect their safety. Present your community-oriented policing program, including a specific program that addresses this phenomenon. Be very specific; you are presenting this to your department and community. use the Los Angeles, California area as the community.

Ending the Criminalization of Mental Illness

In the video provided , Judge Steven Leifman provides an outstanding overview of many of the problems the criminal justice system experiences regarding mental illness. Judge Leifman presents compelling data to show that jails have become de facto psychiatric facilities. In his talk, he discusses evidence of inhumane conditions in some jails, the role trauma among offender populations, particularly among women, the role of policing those with mental illness, the importance of crisis intervention training for police officers, as well as wellness of police officers. The bottom line is that Judge Leifman’s main argument is that that the system should be providing treatment for those experiencing trauma and crises. The point of the paper is to explore the research on the question below. This is not a reflection assignment – this is a research paper that should provide the state of the literature on the question selected.

Address the following research questions in a 4-5 page paper, using at least 7-10 peer reviewed sources (a paper less than 4 FULL pages will not be a passing paper).
