Abusing Handicapped Parking Placards
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. What possesses able-bodied individuals to illegally steal parking spaces from those who truly need the special location? For many, it is the opportunity to expedite the tedious job of parking; for others, it is a subconscious test to see just how far they can push the system. While doing so may appear to be nothing more than a minor inconvenience for those who have legal privilege to the parking space, abusing ADA placards represents much more than that. The perpetual misuse of handicapped parking placards takes away the individual's security of knowing that there will be an available space to use; when an able-bodied person illegally uses that space, the handicapped individual is forced to find the nearest open spot, which is sometimes all the way across the parking lot. Indeed, this invalidates the very reason for obtaining the parking placard in the first place. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Administrator Challenges: Law Enforcement Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. One especially major issue police administrators encounter on a regular basis is enforcing each level of law enforcement to recognize the duality of responsibilities and limitations. This course has helped prepare me to understand how the fine line between acting within the law and behaving outside of it has become an unfortunate focal point of myriad police departments, inasmuch as deviance on the force is an ever-present problem that blurs the distinction of law enforcer and criminal.

Advantages And Disadvantages In Community Policing
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The notion of community policing has become a necessary evil in today's ever-threatened global society. That criminal activity far surpasses law enforcement's ability to keep it in check is indicative of how vital community policing – "a partnership between the police and the community, sharing in the delivery of police services" (Himelfarb et al, 2002) – has become as a viable alternative to help enhance an otherwise shorthanded guardian system. However, as good as any given program might be, there are bound to be drawbacks that serve to impede the very objective it seeks to achieve. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
