Race, Trust and Police Legitimacy | National Institute of Justice - 0 views

  •  
    Minorities have a lower approval rating of law enforcement than non-minorities, as minorities feel they are often singled out. The understanding and acceptance of the minority experience is tantamount to improving relations between law enforcement and the public they serve. It is interesting to note that race is only one of several factors to consider in how law enforcement is viewed by a particular community.

  •  
    The article is about a highly controversial Arizona immigration bill. It is somewhat disheartening to see the article was written in 2010. 8 years later, there has been no improvement to immigration reform.
  •  
    this article does show us an issues that effected a lot of people. also the article gives good reasoning to why this bill was bad for police since people wouldn't wanna get involve with police good or bad involvement In the fear of getting questioned on their legal statues. this article also hits me in personal way because of where I am from a reservation where you are questioned before you can even enter major cities such as Tucson and casa grande.
  •  
    This article talks about a state legislature that was passed that places the primary responsibility of enforcing immigration law in the hands of Arizona. The article then goes on to explain the issues with this law when it comes to implementing as well as pointing out how it is unconstitutional.
  •  
    It's is very sad and unfortunate in this country that has so many opportunities, legislators cannot come to a fair medium with immigration reform.

    This article explains the hardest decision in Arizona with the immigration law.

    Texas has put an abortion law that prevents women from getting an abortion after approximately six weeks of pregnancy. This has led to people flooding their websites with false reports to deter their efforts in enforcing this law.
  •  
    I don't understand why they wanna regulate what we do with our bodies. Some people can't afford kids or are just not ready for kids and I don't think we should be ridiculed for that decision . I hope they overturn that law.

Racist Arizona Law - 4 views

  •  
    The state that brought you the chain-gang enforcing Sheriff Joseph Arpaio, the "show me your papers" immigration law, and racial profiling is proud to present its latest hit: a law prohibiting sex and raced-based abortion, based on lies and stereotypes about black and Asian women. The woman and doctor must also sign an affidavit stating the reason the woman wants an abortion has nothing to do with the race or sex of the embryo or fetus.
  •  
    Wow, I honestly had no idea this was going on. The law prohibits abortions based on the sex or race of the fetus or embryo, This is an extreme injustice! I can't believe we still face this kind of inequality.

    Article stating both sides of legalizing marijuana. Talks from several perspectives
  •  
    Some of the pros of legalizing marijuana are that it can be taxed, law enforcement could be doing more productive things with their time and that whether one smokes it should be their own decision. Some of the cons include that marijuana could possibly lead to other drugs and that long term use could be harmful.

Racial Profiling | American Civil Liberties Union - 4 views

  •  
    This website goes in depth on the issue of racial profiling. It even has links to court cases, press releases, and much more.
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    Thank you for this! I will be using this for my research paper!
  •  
    This article/ website definitely hits many different ways racial profiling can happen. I always believed, why judge a person based off their skin color when underneath we are all the same.
  •  
    I found it interesting that it said racial profiling is patently illegal. it also says racial profiling is ineffective. It makes me wonder how often occurrences like this are allowed just because no one wants to deal with it.
  •  
    This website give an overview of what racial profiling is and the history of it. It also explains how it has a negative outlook for law enforcement and the communities they serve. It explains who can be racially profiled and how they are targeted.
  •  
    I do like the links this website has. Its very informative and gives good resources. This issue is a important on that ker2165548 is right, no one wants to deal with.

Block the Vote: How Politicians are Trying to Block Voters from the Ballot Box - 0 views

  •  
    This article outlines the different voter suppression tactics taking place in America today and describes what populations are more likely to be affected.
  •  
    This article discusses anti-voting laws that contribute to voter suppression. Bills are created to make voting or being able to vote as difficult and tedious as possible as well as deter people from doing so by enforcing sever punishments on those who (often unknowingly) improperly vote.

Trump to DHS: "This is a law-enforcement agency." | Center for Immigration Studies - 0 views

  •  
    Illegal Immigration Policy recently mandated. Described that illegal immigrants caught at the border should be dealt with at the border, rather than allowing them to enter the country with a court ordered summons.
  •  
    I feel like this topic is extremely sensitive, however after reading the new mandated policy and furthering my understanding of what the President intends to do. Thanks for the article.

Investigation: People shot and killed by police this year - 0 views

  •  
    This article provides information about the shootings done by police in 2015. It provides different situations that all lead to police shootings.
  •  
    This seems like a comprehensive collection of police shooting occurrences. When doing any research paper about law enforcement it would definitely be helpful. It is horrible that unjust killings exist.
  •  
    It is hard to discern the situation after-the-fact. Police officers are put into life-threatening situations but many times, they are dealing with someone who has a mental illness. In addition, the insurmountable evidence of police brutality is undeniable. I think we should re-evaluate our shoot first, ask questions later approach.

Teenagers, social media, and terrorism: a threat level hard to assess - 0 views

  •  
    This article discusses the controversy between freedom of speech and preventing terrorism. A high school students Facebook comments put him in court.
  •  
    It's nice to see how serious our law enforcement agencies are taking this. I'm all for making an example out of this kid. However, I'm not sure if 20 years is the answer either. If anything the kid needs some help, not a third of his life behind bars. Of course I can't share a definite observation, and opinion on the matter because I haven't listen to the video. Again, either way the security of our nation and its people is and should be highest priority.

    article on why prison reform will improve the overall effectiveness of imprisonment. plus, the adverse effeteness imprisonment has on more than than just the prisoner.
  •  
    Wow! That was very informative. I was aware of the issue and even was informed about different resources to contact in order to minimize the contact one has with law enforcement, but I did not know about the alternatives to imprisonment.
  •  
    This article is very informative. The prison system is in much need of some kind of reform. The article give a lot of logical suggestions of how the government could start reforming the system.
  •  
    There is a long list of issues our nation has with prison. It's unsanitary, the food doesn't support a healthy diet. The lack of safety is a huge concern. This website explains many issues with American prison and list possibilities to change it.
  •  
    The detrimental impact of imprisonment, not only on individuals but on families and communities also need to be taken into account. Central to the arguments to promote prison reforms is a human rights argument.

Defunding police: What it means and what it could look like - CNN - 5 views

  •  
    Defunding the Police Departments does not mean disbanding law enforcement. Excess funds can be distributed to other services (education, healthcare, housing, ect.)
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    Defunding the police and distributing that money to further establish other parts of the government can honestly change so much and for the better as well.
  •  
    this article gives a better understanding to what "defund the police" really means. By putting funds into other areas that need it, there can be a lot of good done in America.
  •  
    this article is very helpful in the way that most people think that defunding the police means disbandment when really it is just taking the extra funds and putting in other necessary services.
  •  
    Great article to explain the common misconceptions on what it means to defund the police. The positive to this is the benefits other sectors of the government would have such as education.
  •  
    I agree it does not mean to get rid of the police. but overly funding a facility while ignoring schools and healthcare systems is not okay either.
  •  
    This is a good, informative article. Other organizations need more funding, and I believe that funding them is only fair.
  •  
    This article really shows what it looks when the community doesn't feel safe and how the people are moving to make it safe and put money somewhere else.
  •  
    I'm glad that this article gives the information this country needs when talking about defunding the police. Many interpret that in the wrong way which has divided our country even more.

police reputation crisis - 3 views

  •  
    Negative news coverage, social media reports, and viral videos of police interaction, which has a negative impact on how law enforcement is viewed. Not every report is the cop not doing his/her job correctly. The news is not always truthful. Police are not appreciated for their dangerous job.
  •  
    Respectfully, I think a website named "cops" talking about police may have a little bias supporting one side of the argument. It's really important to remember this because this concept may invalidate a paper in the future!
  •  
    I agree with the article and your stance on this. Police officers definitely receive a lot more flack than they deserve for simply doing their jobs.
