Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 520 This 1989 study examined the impact of a college requirement on the proportionate recruitment of minorities for police work. The first phase of the study was a comprehensive review of related research in police education, and the second phase was a survey of 699 State, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies. The third phase consisted of site visits to selected police departments to collect policy-related materials and explore educational issues in greater depth through document review and interviews. The final phase of the research involved extensive legal research on the bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQ), discrimination in employment, and affirmative action practices. The data indicate that in the aggregate, law enforcement agencies in the research population had minority group members in proportions comparable to the general population. Educational levels of minority police officers were approximately the same as white officers at the undergraduate level and higher than white officers at the graduate level. Although a number of factors make college education disproportionately inaccessible to minorities, the courts have ruled that job requirements justify making a college degree a qualification for employment. Apparently there is an adequate pool of both minority and majority college-educated men and women interested in police employment. A college education can be both empirically and legally justified as a BFOQ and should be established.

Download or read book Policing and Minority Communities written by James F. Albrecht and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful book examines the allegations against the professionalism, transparency, and integrity of law enforcement toward minority groups, from a global perspective. It addresses the challenges inherent in maintaining strong ties with members of the community, and draws attention to obstacles in ensuring public confidence and trust in rule of law institutions. Most importantly, the book provides insight into mechanisms and proposals for policy reform that would permit enhanced police-community partnership, collaboration and mutual respect. Acknowledging the consistency of this concern despite geographic location, ethnic diversity, and religious tolerance, this book considers controversial factors that have caused many groups and individuals to question their relationship with law enforcement. The book examines the context of police-community relations with contributed research from Nigeria, South Africa, Kosovo, Turkey, New Zealand, Mexico, Scandinavia and other North American and European viewpoints. It evaluates the roles that critical factors such as ethnicity, political instability, conflict, colonization, mental health, police practice, religion, critical criminology, socialism, and many other important aspects and concepts have played on perceptions of policing and rule of law. A valuable resource for law enforcement practitioners and researchers, policy makers, and students of criminal justice, Policing and Minority Communities: Contemporary Issues and Global Perspectives confronts crucial challenges and controversies in policing today with quantitative and qualitative research and practical policy recommendations.

Download or read book Police Training Bulletin written by Davis McEntire and published by . This book was released on 1946 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training bulletin for California police officers in 1946, when state officials, concerned that postwar racial tensions might give rise to race riots, decided to develop training and recommendations for improving the relationship between police departments and so-called "minority groups," or people of color in California communities, primarily Black people. Written in consultancy with the NAACP, the Japanese American Citizens League, and the American Council on Race Relations. Although the bulletin was produced with the support of the California Attorney General, the type of training it recommended was not widely implemented until several decades later. While somewhat before its time in its attempts to engage with the issues of prejudice and racism within police departments, the bulletin nevertheless contains language, terminology, and ideology that is outdated and potentially harmful.
Download or read book Police written by United States. National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides suggestions for overall improvement in delivery of police services for greater protection against crime. The National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals considers the patrolman the primary force in reducing and preventing crime and thus directs its report recommendations toward increasing police effectiveness. Suggestions for improvements in police functions are presented in the areas of community, planning and organization, technology and support services, fiscal management, and coordination with other criminal justice agencies. These proposals appear in the form of more than 120 specific standards and recommendations that spell out where, why, and how these improvements can and should be made in the police segment of the criminal justice system. Report on police is a reference work for the practitioner -- patrolman to police chief -- as well as for the interested layman. Before implementing any of the changes advocated, police departments are advised to detail the legal limits of police authority and develop guidelines for the exercise of that authority. In order to improve cooperation between the police and the community it is suggested that police agencies establish a specialized unit for maintaining communication with citizens. Each police department should encourage and participate in neighborhood security programs and establish procedures to facilitate processing of complaints. Suggestions for more effective utilization of manpower include continued consolidation, stricter personnel requirements, increased employee benefits, and the employment of more women, minorities, and civilians in police work.

Book excerpt: The proceedings of the National Consultation on Safety and Force held on December 11-13, 1979, are presented in the report. The consultation highlights the concern of the Community Relations Service, an arm of the Department of Justice, with the issue of alleged police use of excessive force. The consultation objectives were to identify key issues and problems related to police-minority community relations, to explore alternatives and solutions to the problem, and to develop a working trilateral (black, Hispanic, police) relationship geared toward crisis response and problem-solving. The opening remarks addressed the need for an approach to developing a better understanding between minorities and law enforcement agencies. Four case studies in Colorado, California, Washington, and Texas, were presented to illustrate successful community-police efforts to increase safety and reduce the use of police force. A small-group session considered eight questions regarding issues in race relations, police use of force, and options to reduce the use of force. Panel discussions considered options for both the police and for community groups on reducing tension and conflict which could lead to the use of excessive force. Other panel discussions considered special problems in municipal liabilities which arise from the increasing number of civil suits based on alleged police brutality, special problems of nonurban police departments, and the obstacles and opportunities to progress in the area of police use of excessive force. An audio-visual presentation provided a training demonstration of police officers under stress.
