Like the rest of American society, law enforcement has been swept up by the tide of social media. Over the past few years, most local police departments have taken advantage of Facebook and Twitter to improve their ability to communicate with the public. None have gone as far as the Seattle Police Department (SPD), however, and its new “Tweets­by­beat” initiative. Residents in fifty­one Seattle neighborhoods can now receive constant updates of

nearby criminal activity directly from the police. Over the course of a single Sunday, for example, people living on Olive Way near downtown Seattle would have been notified of an “intoxicated person” on their street, along with two burglaries and several reports of “suspicious vehicles,” accident investigations, and noise complaints. “More and more people want to know what’s going on on their piece of the rock,” says Seattle police chief John Diaz.

41. If social media worked the other way, with citizens able to use it to alert the police of developing concerns, then which police responsibility would be most hampered?
42. a. Enforce laws
43. Provide services
44. c. Preserve the peace
45. Prevent crime

The threat of terrorism has caused local law enforcement to alter their routines. Indeed, all police officers in the country are now expected to prepare for a terrorist attack in their communities, and counterterrorism has become part of the day-to-day law enforcement routine as the following illustrate: First, the unidentified male walking around the harbor in Newport Beach, California, took several photographs of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s fireboat and the Balboa Ferry with his cell phone camera. Then he made a phone call, walked to

his car, and returned five minutes later to take more pictures. Next, he met another person, with whom he watched boat traffic. Finally, another adult with two children joined the pair, and the group boarded the ferry. A local law enforcement officer filed a report to be passed along to the federal government. The first 161,000 such reports resulted in only five arrests, none of which had to do with terrorism. “Ninety­nine percent don’t pan out or lead to anything,” said one Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent.

46. Terrorism has meant local police now have a closer working relationship with which level of law enforcement?
47. a. Both federal and state Only state
48. c. Only federal
49. Other local law enforcement agencies

The perception that women are not physically strong enough to be effective law enforcement officers prevails both in the public mind and within police forces themselves. Criminologist Susan Martin has found that policewomen are under “constant pressure to demonstrate their competence and effectiveness vis­à­vis their male counterparts.” One female police officer describes her experience: I got a call. They send another male officer and then another male officer. The attitude is—get a guy. I’m there with the one male officer and when the other guy shows up, the first male officer says to the second, this is right in front of me—“I’m glad you came.”

51. The statement, “I’m glad you came,” would be an example of

90. Discuss the reasons for the rise of community policing, and what the practice of community policing involves.

 

 

 

ANSWER:                                   By the early 1970s, many observers believed that poor policing was contributing to the national turmoil. The National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders stated bluntly that poor relations between the police and African American communities were partly to blame for the violence that plagued many of those communities.

The beginning of the community era may be traced to several government initiatives that took place in 1968. Of primary importance was the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which was passed that year.

Community policing is based on the notion that meaningful interaction between officers and citizens will lead to a partnership in preventing and fighting crime.
