Assignment: Review the Rodney King Incident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_King) and think about how the violence perpetrated on King could have been predicted and perhaps prevented. Then suggest a set of workable alternatives to the use of deadly force that today’s police forces might effectively use in their confrontation with violent individuals. You may give some consideration to the findings of the Christopher Commission (http://www.hrw.org/legacy/reports/reports98/police/uspo73.htm), charged with examining the use of force on King. However, your task is to go further and develop a larger set of recommendations (the workable alternatives to the use of deadly force) that show innovation as well as imagination. Your submission must be at least two double-spaced pages using 12 point Times New Roman (or similar font).

What limitations do courts impose on police in the use of deception in interrogation of suspects? If a suspect invokes their 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination, are the police prohibited from asking any questions? How long does the invocation of the right against self-incrimination last? When might the police be able to begin asking investigatory questions again?

Instructions: Answer the five questions below. Review and respond to each of the following questions. Each response should be substantive, meaning at least three to four sentences demonstrating analytical thought. If the response is simply yes or no, or a short single sentence, you will likely receive either partial or no credit for that question.

Each question is worth 10 points each. The instructor is looking for the substantiveness of responses, whether you provide a response that meets the minimum word count (50-70 words), and whether you provided citations (when applicable). Your responses will also be reviewed for logic. NOTE: Even though this information may come from the textbook, you are expected to state the information in your own words and cite it.

WK 4 CRIMINAL CLASS: Critical Incident Stress Management

Critical Incident Stress Management

Law enforcement is considered to be one of the most high-stress careers.

The constant exposure to horrific scenes of death, tragedy, and human suffering may result in debilitating and, ultimately, life-threatening psychological illnesses.

By using critical incident stress management (CISM), a technique of emotional first aid, peer-support officers can achieve results equal to, or better than, many mental-health professionals.

CISM can also be used for other emergency personnel. Other than peer-support officers, what other mental health professionals can assist emergency personnel?

Review professional literature and any other professional sources and analyze to determine whether CISM is the best solution for long-and short-term mental health related issues for emergency personnel.
