  • Americans Should Value, Not Protest, the Police by Charlie Dent COPYRIGHT 2016 Greenhaven Press, a Part of Gale, Cengage Learning
    Americans Should Value, Not Protest, the Police By Charlie Dent COPYRIGHT 2016 Greenhaven Press, a part of Gale, Cengage Learning The beautiful autumn foliage of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains served as the backdrop for several weeks of tension and fear during the massive manhunt for survivalist and cop killer Eric Frein. Frein ambushed and killed State Police Corporal Bryon Dickson II and seriously wounded Trooper Alex T. Douglass. Pennsylvanians are still coping with the tragedy, as are the devastated families of the two officers. Perhaps Frein's recent murderous attack is why the horrific December 20th [2014] ambush and assassination of two New York City police officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, has caused many Pennsylvanians' hearts to break for the families of these two public servants, targeted simply because they wore the NYPD [New York City Police Department] uniform. Officer Ramos, a devoted husband and father of two young children, celebrated his 40th birthday earlier this month. Officer Liu, who married two months ago, leaves behind his devastated young wife and parents. The assassination of Officers Ramos and Liu marks a critical moment in this nation's recent discussions on police practices and race relations in the aftermath of the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. As a nation, how do we make sense of the events, especially since grand juries in Missouri and New York, after reviewing the evidence, declined to indict either of the officers involved? As a father of three, I can't imagine losing a child under any circumstances. Yet, Michael Brown engaged in multiple criminal actions on that fateful day.

  • DNA Evidence and Police Investigations: a Health Warning
    Policeprofessional/May2006 DNA evidence and police investigations: a health warning. Jason Roach and Ken Pease Introduction Much has been made of recent advances in DNA science and technology with particular emphasis placed on its bewildering implications for policing and the detection of serious offenders. Operation Phoenix for example, conducted by Northumbria Police in conjunction with the Forensic Science Service (FSS), has seen a total of 42 named DNA matches obtained against the National DNA Database (NDNAD) for more than 400 unsolved sexual offences over a 14 year period, resulting in 14 convictions up to 2005 (Forensic Science Service Annual Report 2004-05). Both technical advances in DNA serology and the infrastructure of analysis and retention bring forensic DNA analysis into the mainstream of detection, with accompanying public interest. For example the development of Low Copy Number techniques (LCN) now render very small samples usable. The size of the National DNA Database (well over three million by early 2006) aspires to cover the active criminal population. The use of DNA evidence in police investigations stems, as is well known, from the work of Sir Alec Jeffreys and colleagues at Leicester University (see Jeffreys Wilson and Thein 1985), whose generation of images from RFLP1 analysis of unique human DNA were so redolent of supermarket bar codes as to be irresistible to the public mind. Because some twenty years has now elapsed since the first use of the Jeffreys technique it may be worthwhile rehearsing what happened, since it illustrates the central argument of this paper, that the linkages between DNA identification of offenders and the detection task generally is, and must be, subtle in order to optimise detection efficiency.

  • To Clear Or to Convict? the Role of Genomics in Criminal Justice1
    Genomics, Society and Policy 2006, Vol.2, No.1, pp.1–15. To Clear or To Convict? The Role of Genomics in Criminal Justice1 ANTHONY MARK CUTTER JUDGE SLATER: Look, I have signed hundreds of search warrants for Captain Brass, but ... this affidavit lacks probable cause. Prints on quarters, an admixture of DNA... GRISSOM: DNA, if given a warrant, will clear or convict... JUDGE SLATER: ... are not enough for me to invade the Klinefelds’ right to privacy CSI: Crime Scene Investigators, Assume Nothing (part 1)2 Introduction Although the title ‘genomics and criminal justice’ opens a relatively wide field of inquiry, this paper is primarily concerned with the use of genomic technologies by the criminal justice service(s), with a particular focus on the use of DNA and DNA databases. The vehicle for this exploration will, for the most part, be the National DNA Database of England & Wales. The above exchange between a Judge and a law enforcement official, though taken from fiction, highlights the two key issues raised by the use of DNA and DNA databases in the criminal justice setting that will be considered in this paper. Firstly, we see the portrayal of DNA as a powerful tool that will serve as the lynch pin of the investigator’s case; secondly, we see the Judge’s concern for the ‘privacy’ of the suspects. In this context, these two concepts – the utility of DNA and the privacy of the individual – are conflicting. These competing interests are mediated by a governance process of law and policy – represented in the above exchange by the need to satisfy the test of ‘probable cause’ before a warrant can be issued.

  • Ted Danson Formatted
    Ted Danson Oceana Board Member Ted Danson's versatility in both television and film makes him one of the most accomplished and credible actors today. From his feature film debuts in Joseph Wambaugh's "The Onion Field" in 1979 and Lawrence Kasdan's "Body Heat" in 1981 to his starring role in the television series "Cheers," Ted Danson has captivated worldwide audiences with his equally sensational dramatic and comedic performances. Danson is currently in production on the second season of the HBO series “Bored to Death,” created by Jonathan Ames. He co-stars opposite Jason Swartzman and Zach Galifianakis as ‘George Christopher,’ the editor of Edition magazine who has been a tastemaker and a man about town for decades. The first season premiered in September 2009 to critical acclaim. The series shoots in Brooklyn, New York. Danson was recently seen in the third season of the FX Network drama “Damages.” Danson portrays ‘Arthur Frobisher,’ a billionaire CEO who profited by selling stock before his company tanked and has since reformed. The show stars Glenn Close and Rose Byrne and is produced by Daniel Zelman, Todd Kessler, and Glenn Kessler. For this role, Danson has received two Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe nomination. In 2009, Danson also returned to “Curb Your Enthusiasm” to guest star in two episodes of Larry David’s hit comedy series. Danson’s recent film roles have included “Mad Money,” opposite Diane Keaton, Katie Holmes and Queen Latifah and “The Amateurs,” opposite Jeff Bridges. For 12 years, Danson charmed television audiences worldwide with his portrayal of the tall, dark and handsome ‘Sam Malone,’ on NBC's hit comedy series “Cheers .” The role earned him the Golden Globe in 1990 and 1991, the Emmy ® Award in 1990 and 1993, as well as several additional Emmy nominations.
