criminal justice (see attachment)
You will assume the role of the Chief of Police of your town or city and must make decisions regarding three (3) different scenarios involving potentially ethical situations involving the community. Your decisions reflect your competence, discretion, judgment, and the balancing of “crime control versus individual rights” models.
Please note that you are to number each scenario as well as include the entire scenario (question) with your answer. You will be answering each scenario as the Chief of Police and are expected to support your position with relevant court decisions
This assignment contains three (3) scenarios related to your assigned readings and viewings. We learned about: (The abuse of police power, individual rights, search and seizure, detention and arrest, police personality and culture, corruption and integrity, police use of force, ethnic and gender diversity in policing, warrants)
Respond to each scenario in essay format and then support your choice with what you’ve learned from your assigned reading and viewings, and other outside research sources. Remember to address the ethical aspects of the scenarios and the decisions you make. There may also be legal and political implications, which you may address as well, as they are related to the ethical perspectives.
· Example : Although police must legally obtain warrants to search, there are exceptions to that rule. When doing so, ethical violations may occur. Address the specific ethical situation that may not violate a law, but a code of conduct, departmental directive (DD) or standard operating procedure (SOP).
When developing your answers, you must include cited facts to support the major points in your response. Your responses should not include excessive quotations, but should be paraphrased with your thoughts and analyses. Your responses must reflect a balance between facts and your perspective on the points you made.
Your responses to EACH of the quiz questions should be a minimum of 1 page (250 words) and a maximum of 2 pages in length (500 words), doubled- spaced, and written in 12 point Times New Roman or Arial 11-point font, in one MSWord.doc file.
