INTRODUCTION Ever since Herbert Packer published "Two Models of the Criminal Process" in 1964, much thinking about criminal justice has been influenced by the construction of models. Models pro- vide a useful way to cope with the complexity of the criminal pro- cess. They allow details to be simplified and common themes and trends to be highlighted. "As in the physical and social sciences, [models present] a hypothetical but coherent scheme for testing the evidence" produced by decisions made by thousands of actors in the criminal process every day.2 Unlike the sciences, however, it is not possible or desirable to reduce the discretionary and hu- manistic systems of criminal justice to a single truth.

  • Seattle Police Department
    Seattle Police Department Adrian Diaz, Interim Chief of Police (206) 684-5577 http://www.seattle.gov/police/ Department Overview The Seattle Police Department (SPD) addresses crime, enforces laws, and enhances public safety by delivering respectful, professional, and dependable police services. SPD divides operations into five precincts. These precincts define east, west, north, south, and southwest patrol areas, with a police station in each area. The department's organizational model places neighborhood-based emergency response services at its core, allowing SPD the greatest flexibility in managing public safety. Under this model, neighborhood-based personnel in each precinct assume responsibility for public safety management, primary crime prevention and law enforcement. Precinct-based detectives investigate property crimes and crimes involving juveniles, whereas detectives in centralized units located at SPD headquarters downtown and elsewhere conduct follow-up investigations into other types of crimes. Other parts of the department function to train, equip, and provide policy guidance, human resources, communications, and technology support to those delivering direct services to the public. Interim Police Chief Adrian Diaz has committed the department to five focus areas to anchor itself throughout the on-going work around the future of community safety: • Re-envisioning Policing - Engage openly in a community-led process of designing the role the department should play in community safety • Humanization - Prioritize the sanctity

  • Applying Personality Theory to a Group of Police Bodyguards: a Physically Risky Prosocial Prototype?

Vol. 14, nº 2, pp. 387-392 Copyright © 2002 Psicothema Applying personality theory to a group of police bodyguards: a physically risky prosocial prototype? Montserrat Gomà-i-Freixanet and Andreas A. J. Wismeijer Autonomous University of Barcelona The aim of the present study is twofold. First, to present evidence in favour of the application of the dispositional model to police applicants and second to present evidence that police bodyguard mani- fest a personality profile similar to that of subjects engaged in activities that imply a high level of phy- sical risk of a prosocial kind. The sample consisted of 20 subjects, the complete Bodyguard Unit from the Autonomous Government of Catalunya. Subjects were administered the Eysenck Personality Ques- tionnaire (EPQ) and the Sensation Seeking Scale form V (SSS-V) from Zuckerman. The findings seem to favour the dispositional model and that the profile of a police bodyguard matches that of prosocials. The profile of a police bodyguard is characterized by being ambiverted, emotionally stable, with low scores on psychoticism and sensation seeking, and shows a distinctive characteristic expressed by a high sincerity and a low susceptibility to boredom. Perfil de personalidad de un grupo de policías-guardaespaldas: ¿Un prototipo de riesgo físico proso- cial? El objetivo del presente estudio es doble.

  • PRE-CRIME and COUNTER-TERRORISM Imagining Future Crime in the ' War on Terror '
    doi:10.1093/bjc/azp023 BRIT. J. CRIMINOL. (2009) 49, 628–645 Advance Access publication 11 May 2009 PRE-CRIME AND COUNTER-TERRORISM Imagining Future Crime in the ‘ War on Terror ’ Jude McCulloch and Sharon Pickering * Downloaded from This article looks at pre-crime in the context of counter-terrorism. Pre-crime links coercive state actions to suspicion without the need for charge, prosecution or conviction. It also includes measures that expand the remit of the criminal law to include activities or associations that are deemed to precede the substantive offence targeted for prevention. The trend towards anticipating risks as a driving principle in criminal justice was identifi ed well before 2001. However, risk and threat anticipation have substantially expanded in the context of contemporary counter-terrorism http://bjc.oxfordjournals.org frameworks. Although pre-crime counter-terrorism measures are rationalized on the grounds of preventing terrorism, these measures do not fi t in the frame of conventional crime prevention. The article argues that the shift to pre-crime embodies a trend towards integrating national security into criminal justice along with a temporal and geographic shift that encompasses a blurring of the borders between the states ’ internal and external coercive capacities. The counter-terrorism framework incorporates and combines elements of criminal justice and national security, giving rise to a number of tensions. One key tension is between the ideal of impartial criminal justice and the politically charged concept of national security. Pre-crime counter-terrorism measures can be traced through a number of interlinking historical trajectories including the wars on crime and drugs, at King's College London on May 5, 2010 criminalization and, more fundamentally, in colonial strategies of domination, control and repression.

They adapted to the new environment and continued to faithfully perform their mission to fight crime, and protect and serve our community. Port employees, business partners, travelers, and visitors remained safe yet another year, because of the teamwork and outstanding dedication of the people who serve in your Police Department.

    City of Philadelphia Crime Prevention & Violence Reduction Action Plan Philadelphia Police Department June 2020 Danielle M. Outlaw Police Commissioner The Philadelphia Roadmap to Safer Communities Page 1 Contents Our Current Crime Challenge 5 Current Strategies 7 Performance Goals: Violent Crime Reduction 9 Our Pillars 10 Operating Model Redesign: Information Flow & Strategic Collaboration 13 Action Plan 17 Conclusion 37 Page 2 Letter from the Commissioner On September 27, 2018, Mayor Jim Kenney issued an urgent “Call to Action” mandating that the Cabinet and senior leadership develop a plan to dramatically reduce homicides and shootings in the City of Philadelphia. Despite the City’s best efforts, property and violent crimes have continued to rise. Moreover, the numbers of homicides and shooting victims were at their highest levels since 2007 and 2010, respectively. Since my appointment as Police Commissioner, the Philadelphia Police Department has launched a progressive Crime Prevention and Violence Reduction Strategy. This strategy is based on research, thorough evaluation of current and past strategies, and input from internal and external stakeholders. Our findings illuminate the need to reinforce and expand our current “Operation Pinpoint” strategy by grounding our work in common goals - increase community safety, and enhance this strategic framework to foster effective collaboration to reduce violent crime. This report outlines our plan to curb violence in Philadelphia. This action plan is a living document that will be revisited and revised as conditions dictate, in order to best respond and serve the City of Philadelphia and our communities. As law enforcement professionals, we constantly adapt to ever changing landscapes whether driven by shifts in leadership, resources, community needs, the environment, law or technology.
