May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 4 The Role of Discretion in Policing (1 of 2) Justification for police discretion: − Police officers are assumed trustworthy and honest − Experience and training − Knowledge about human and criminal behavior − Must be allowed to make reasonable decisions to protect themselves Larry K.

Nature or seriousness of the crime 2. Attitude of the wrong doer 3. Relationship between the victim and offender 4. Departmental policy − Policy: set of guiding principles that police must adhere to Larry K. Gaines and Roger LeRoy Miller, Criminal Justice in Action, 11th Edition. © 2022 Cengage.

May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 7 Police Organization and Field Operations (2 of 8) Structure of the police department (continued) − Law enforcement in the field ▪ Patrol, investigations, and special investigations Police on Patrol: The Backbone − Patrol 1. Deterrence of crime and maintain police visibility 2. Maintain public order and a sense of security 3. Provide certain non-crime services 24 hours a day Larry K.

May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 8 Police Organization and Field Operations (3 of 8) − Patrol ▪ Mental illness 6 to 10% of police-public contacts Crisis Intervention Team (CIT): officers trained to recognize behavior cues associated with mental illness and develop de-escalation practices, and deliver medical services ▪ Patrol activities Preventative, maintain presence in community Calls for service Administrative duties: report writing Office initiated activity–on view activity like traffic stops and contacts Larry K. Gaines and Roger LeRoy Miller, Criminal Justice in Action, 11th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 9 Police Organization and Field Operations − Detective investigations ▪ Detective: primary police investigator of crimes ▪ Aggressive investigation strategies Sting or undercover operations Confidential informant (CI): persons involved in criminal activity and gives information to police, usually for something in return ▪ Clearance rates and cold cases Clearance rates: comparison of crimes committed, and arrests made for those crimes Cold cases: investigation not solved for a certain amount of time Larry K.

May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 10 Police Organization and Field Operations − Forensic investigations and DNA (5 of 8) ▪ Forensics: application of science to establish facts and evidence during the investigation of crimes ▪ Crime scene forensics Trace evidence: fingerprints, blood, hair, fibers Ballistics: study of firearms, bullets, and trajectory Larry K. Gaines and Roger LeRoy Miller, Criminal Justice in Action, 11th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved.

May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 12 Police Organization and Field Operations (6 of 8) − Forensic investigations and DNA (continued) ▪ DNA revolution DNA fingerprinting: identification of individuals based on samples of their DNA DNA: genetic blueprint of a living organism: No two people have the same DNA (except identical twins). Scientists compare thirteen points (“markers”) of DNA fingerprints to try and match crime scene DNA to possible offender DNA. A positive DNA fingerprint match has a probability that it belongs to the matched person that extents as high as 30 billion to one. Larry K.

Local police took a swab of DNA from his cheek. The sample matched evidence from an unsolved rape case in the state DNA database, and King was eventually convicted of that crime and sentenced to life in prison. He challenged this outcome, focusing on the unfairness of a Maryland law that allows for DNA fingerprinting of those who have been arrested, but not yet convicted, of violent crimes. Was collecting Mr. King’s DNA at the time of his arrest for threatening with a shotgun an unreasonable invasion of his rights? Larry K.

King (2013) King’s challenge gave the United States Supreme Court a chance to decide a crucial question: Is taking DNA samples from arrestees (a) merely the equivalent of traditional fingerprinting or (b) an unacceptable invasion of privacy of the potentially innocent? The Court upheld Maryland’s right to take DNA samples from people arrested for serious crimes. Justice Scalia argued, “[B]ecause of today’s decision, your DNA can be taken and entered into a national database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason.” Larry K.

Gaines and Roger LeRoy Miller, Criminal Justice in Action, 11th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19 Police Strategies: What Works (3 of 6) Smart policing − Hot spot technology ▪ Hot spots: areas of high criminal activity that draws directed patrol ▪ Crime mapping: analysts identify trends and patterns in crime within an area ▪ Timing: patrol timing intervals can deter crimes − Rise of CompStat ▪ Started in mid-1990s in New York City; deployed computerized crime mapping Larry K.

May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 20 Police Strategies: What Works (4 of 6) Arrest strategies − Reactive arrests: arrest made from call for service or on viewed crime − Proactive arrests: arrest from police activity targeting a particular crime − Broken windows theory: Neighborhoods in disrepair signal criminal activity. Focus on quality-of-life crimes can reclaim neighborhoods and reduce crime Mixed evaluation − Some experts question the broken windows theory because of dropping violent crime rates. − “Zero tolerance” Larry K.

You talk to the owner and community members and learn there has been an increase in the homeless population. Citizens have even reported seeing used needles in the street. Work together to come up with some possible solutions to this problem: how can you reduce crime and help the community? Larry K.

Garner (1985): offered restrictions on fleeing felons; “It is not better that all felony suspects die than that they escape.” − Graham v. Connor (1989): Court recognized officers must make split second decisions without worrying about legal ramifications. ▪ Use of force should be judged by the reasonableness of the officer on the scene, rather than 20/20 vision of hindsight.

What are your thoughts on qualified immunity for police officers? Should police officers have qualified immunity? Larry K. Gaines and Roger LeRoy Miller, Criminal Justice in Action, 11th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 43 Discussion Activity 2 Debrief Qualified immunity: doctrine that protects officers from civil liability, as long as the officers did not violate constitutional rights Proponents: Qualified immunity is necessary for police to do their job and make split second decisions in stressful situations: hesitation at this moment could have catastrophic results. Opponents: Qualified immunity gives the police protection from violating individual rights and liberties; it also deprives citizens the right to challenge the institutional power of the police and the government.
