Abstract
To establish a greater understanding of policy making in criminal justice one must have an informed understanding of the process within their particular state. The intent of this paper will hopefully provide a different prospective on the decision making process within criminal justice.
Policy Research Topic
My policy for criminal justice research will provide an assessment and analysis of criminal activity and discovering effective strategies for its reduction. Most criminal justice agencies must utilize some form of criminal justice research or in policy to ensure federal funding. Police Polices for the most part is based on right and wrong, responsibility, justice or injustice, culpability, and blame.
Unfortunately, our nation has been faced with an increase in violent confrontations between law enforcement and the public, which has caused further unrest and mistrust in our community’s. I would like to form new policy that will focus on use of force, community policing, personal bias, training, and policing data.
Although, most of these polices have been utilized in many departments, community partnerships and techniques used to address safety concerns seem to be flawed or not researched to accommodate all areas of a community. Police officers are at times forced to control violent people or situations that require force and at times lethal force. However, I would like my policy to concentrate more on establishing renewed trust between law enforcement and the community prior to any level of force.
