Education Law Enforcement Research Articles

Prep for the unimaginable with strong community ties, early MOUs

Mark DeRee's career in higher education law enforcement began in 2008, when, as a student at William Penn University in Iowa, he worked as a student security employee. When he was hired as a part‐time security officer there, DeRee discovered a passion for the work. “It's a great opportunity to learn and grow, that aspect of education that comes with public safety in higher education,” DeRee said.

Innovative policy in high school management of Vietnam is focused on giving more autonomy in decision making of task performance for education quality improvement. International literature reviews have shown that decentralizing on school curriculum development and delivering, finance allocation and human resource management is one of performance enhancing policies in education. This effort proposes an autonomous public high chool model in the context of 2019 Education Law enforcement and fulfillment of 2018 general education program.

Effectiveness of Criminal Application or Fine for Applicants of Violation Information and Electronic Transaction

Efforts to prevent information technology crimes in the future will be carried out by law enforcement officials, such as the following: First, educating law enforcement officials, because dealing with crimes through social media requires specialization of investigators and public prosecutors can be considered as one way to enforce law against cybercrime. Currently Indonesia is in dire need of "Cyber Law Enforcement", such as: Cyber Police, Cyber Prosecutors, Cyber Judges and Cyber Advocates, in the context of cybercrime law enforcement in Indonesia. Without the presence of law enforcers who are in the field of information technology, it will be difficult to enforce "Cyber Law" in an equitable Indonesia. Second, Building forensic computing facilities to be established by the National Police. The improvement of facilities or facilities in dealing with information technology crimes is not only limited by trying as much as possible to up-date and up-grade the facilities and infrastructure that are already owned by law enforcement officials but also by completing these facilities or facilities in accordance with today's technological developments. Third, increasing investigative efforts, because criminal acts regulated by the ITE Law are special crimes, so special investigators are needed. Article 43 of the ITE Law states, in addition to the police, the authority of investigation is on the shoulders of Civil Servants (PPNS). Cyber task force involves not only the National Police but also PPNS, Prosecutors and judges whose scope ranges from the central level to the provinces and also the regencies. The collaboration effort is not only done with fellow cyber law enforcement officers, but also asks for help from experts who required in the investigation. The "expert" referred to here is of course someone who has special expertise in the field of IT and must be accountable academically and practically.

Differential Effects of Gender on Canadian Police Officers’ Perceptions of Stalking

Stalking (also known as “criminal harassment” in Canada) is broadly defined as repeated contact with another individual that elicits fear. By manipulating the details of an actual stalking case, the present study examined the role of actor sex (man–woman [M-W], woman–man [W-M]) on perceptions of stalking in a sample of local police officers. Consistent with previous research, officers who read the M-W case anticipated more physical, emotional, psychological, and economic harm, as well as greater likelihood of a prison sentence by judges, than officers who read the W-M case. Actor sex did not influence officers’ perceptions of seriousness, likelihood of a jury conviction, or identification of criminal harassment. The findings may be used to develop intervention programs aimed at educating law enforcement, social support workers, and community agencies to ensure appropriate protection and treatment of individuals stalked by former partners.

This or that: The many hats of higher education law enforcement

I knew pretty early on after making the transition from municipal policing to higher education law enforcement that I was entering a world unlike any other. Sure, there are many regulations and statutes that affect administrators and executives of local, town, state and federal law enforcement agencies; there is definitely no shortage.

The Hartford Consensus on Active Shooters: Implementing the Continuum of Prehospital Trauma Response

BackgroundActive shooter incidents have led to the recognition that the traditional response paradigm of sequential response and scene entry by law enforcement, first responders, and emergency medical service (EMS) personnel produced delays in care and suboptimal victim outcomes. The Hartford Consensus Group developed recommendations to improve the response to and outcomes from active shooter events and urged that a continuum of care be implemented that incorporates not only EMS response, but also the initiation of care by law enforcement officers and potentially by lay bystanders. ObjectiveTo develop and implement tiered educational programs designed to teach police officers and lay bystanders the principles of initial trauma care and bleeding control using as a foundation the U.S. military's Tactical Combat Casualty Care course and the guidelines of the Committee on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care. DiscussionThe Tactical Casualty Care for Law Enforcement and First Responders course is a 1-day program combining didactic lecture, hands-on skills stations, and clinical scenarios designed primarily for police officers. The Bleeding Control for the Injured is a 2- to 3-h program for the potential citizen responder in the skills of hemorrhage control. In addition, we document the application of these skills by law enforcement officers and first responders in several real-life incidents involving major hemorrhage. ConclusionsDeveloping and implementing tiered educational programs for hemorrhage control will improve response by police officers and the lay public. Educating law enforcement officers in these skills has been demonstrated to improve trauma victim survival.

COMPONENTS OF EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AT HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION

The interest in the study of the structure and content of different educational environments has been significantly increased recently. The implementation of competence-based approach to educational process at higher school leads to the actualization of the problem of improvement of methods and pedagogical technologies in cadets’ and trainees’ education and purposeful development of their professionally important qualities as of future professionals. For this purpose it’s necessary to study the educational environment into which the trainees are plunged as well as to define the role and the extent of influence its components on personal development. This article is a part of the research on studying specific character of educational environment at higher educational law enforcement institution. A brief analysis of the researchers’ papers on the content of different educational environments is presented and the basic components of the educational environment structure at institutions mentioned above are singled out.

Schizophrenia: Causes, crime, and implications for criminology and criminal justice

This paper is aimed at criminologists and criminal justicians seeking to understand their role in educating law enforcement and correctional personnel who must deal with the mentally ill. It is motivated by William Johnson's (2011) recent call for rethinking the interface between mental illness, criminal justice, and academia, and his call for advocacy. We concur with his concerns, and insist that this rethinking must necessarily include grounding in the etiology of mental illness (specifically, with schizophrenia) as it is currently understood by researchers in the area. Advocacy must go hand in hand with a thorough knowledge of the condition of the people for whom we are advocating. We first examine major etiological models of schizophrenia, emphasizing the neurodevelopmental model that incorporates genetics, neurological functioning, and immunological factors guided by the assumption that the typical criminologist/criminal justician has minimal acquaintance with such material. We then address the link between schizophrenia and criminal behavior, and conclude with a discussion of the implications for criminology and criminal justice.

Educating Law Enforcement Officers about Mental Illness: Nurses as Teachers

With the advent of new psychotherapeutic agents, many individuals with mental illness are living successfully in communities. However, they may become involved in situations with law enforcement officers, which may lead to potentially negative experiences. During police academy training, new officers may receive training focused on optimizing interactions with people with physical/mental disabilities; however, this may be inadequate to enable effective communication between officers and individuals with mental illness. Given the growing prevalence of mental illness, it is increasingly likely that officers will encounter such individuals. An exemplar educational program geared to staff police officers in the city of Orange, California is described. This program provides law enforcement officers with training about psychiatric disorders and affected individuals, effective communication skills, and interventions that may assist in management of field contacts with individuals with mental illness.

Interdisciplinary Workshop Yields New Entomological Data for Forensic Sciences: Chrysomya rufifacies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Established in North Carolina

ABSTRACT Workshops are used for educating law enforcement personnel on the application of entomological, anthropological, and botanical techniques to gather forensically important information from a body recovery site. From 8 to 11 June 2004, such a workshop was conducted in the metropolitan area of Charlotte, NC, by the American Academy of Applied Forensics at Central Piedmont Community College. For this workshop, three pig carcasses weighing individually between 40 and 60 kg were placed in the field 4 June, whereas three pigs similar in size were placed in the field 7 June. During the afternoon session on 11 June, workshop participants collected three Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) third instar larvae from a pig carcass placed in the field on 7 June. These data represent the first records of this forensically important insect in North Carolina; furthermore, these data provide evidence of this species expansion into new geographic regions of the United States. This finding is an example of the benefits derived from an experiential and interdisciplinary approach to educating death scene investigators. Learners acquired new knowledge, put it into practice through the "body" recovery exercise, and ultimately contributed to science by way of the discovery and first documentation of a forensically important insect previously not known to inhabit North Carolina.

Issues in Statutory Rape Law Enforcement: The Views of District Attorneys in Kansas

The 1996 federal welfare reform law calls for the reduction of adolescent pregnancy rates through aggressive enforcement of statutory rape laws at the local and state level. Yet there are few quantitative data on district attorneys' attitudes toward enforcement and related issues. Anonymous surveys were mailed to all 105 Kansas district attorneys in 1997; 92 surveys were returned. In-depth telephone interviews were conducted with seven of the attorneys. Most of the respondents (74%) favored aggressive enforcement, but just 37% believed the public would support aggressive enforcement. Only 24% believed enforcement would reduce adolescent pregnancy. Fifty-seven percent supported the current legal age of consent in Kansas (16 years). Fifty-three percent thought the law should not specify age differences between the partners. Most (77%) believed the law should protect sexually active minors, and that paternity acknowledgments should be admissible evidence in prosecutions (78%). Only 17% believed that enforcement would discourage adolescents from seeking health care. The potential impact of statutory rape prosecution on reproductive and psychological health should be considered in each case. Educating law enforcement officials about adolescent health care issues and encouraging them to consult with professionals in health and psychological fields may help to minimize the potentially negative effects of enforcement on adolescents' reproductive health.
