This paper explores the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) role as it pertains to military readiness. The emphasis of military readiness is clearly considered by senior military leadership as the top priority. There is a direct relationship between crime prevention and military readiness. Crime prevention techniques used by CID are explored here as they relate to the military’s ability to complete the mission. These tools and techniques should always be evolving in the ever expanding role and responsibility placed on CID pertaining to crime prevention in the military.
CID’s Role in Crime Prevention as It Relates to Military Readiness Crimes within the military undermine the overall mission and combat readiness. The role of the CID relating to crime prevention has a direct effect on military readiness. With CID’s crime prevention tools at their disposal, set forth through regulation and doctrine, they can identify potential problems in the areas of fraud, drugs and other general crimes. Additionally, through direct guidance to Soldiers and Commanders, CID

Targeting and identifying crime conducive conditions and coordinating with Commanders to develop techniques to prevent loss of equipment or funds will serve as a Combat Multiplier (CID195-1). Both the findings and observations will assist the supported commander in deterring and reducing crime within his command and control. CID’s current role with respect to Crime Prevention Surveys can also be bolstered for future improvement. Coordinated efforts with subject matter experts should be the main focus when determining the scope of the crime prevention surveys. These actions will assist Commanders to preserve their resources and promote good order and discipline within their
The effective reduction of crime and quality of life abatement is of prime importance in the COMPSTAT model is and is one of the four core principles in the COMPSTAT paradigm. This essay will examine the impact that the implementation of COMPSTAT has had, specifically the process of Data-Driven Problem Identification and Assessment, and model it against the Newark Police Dept., New Jersey, USA. In doing so it will determine what changes in strategy, structure and operations have taken place as a result of the implementation process.
Gilmartin begins by describing the typical rookie officer. Most are energetic, idealistic, enthusiastic and very driven. Quickly this enthusiasm can change from one of positivity to one that is very cynical and emotionally charged. These behaviors and thoughts over time if not corrected become exacerbated leading to noticeable mental and physical changes. The author, Gilmartin, uses personal experiences and other real life stories effectively so that many officers can relate and identify with the topic of the book.
This purpose of this paper is to interview a former Sergeant (Sgt) in the New Jersey police department, James Garber, to determine his thoughts on the current state of the criminal justice system. During this interview, Sgt Garber was asked several questions regard the current state of the criminal justice system; specifically, in what ways is the system working, in what ways is the system failing, and what direction he sees the justice system going. As part of this, he explains why he feels this way about the justice system, to include specific examples to support his belief. In addition to Sgt Garber’s opinion on these matters, this analysis includes real world examples that support the problems he identifies. Lastly, this paper

Compstat has improved policing ever since it was introduced in the 1990s. Compstat is a system that is used by police agencies to reduce crime as well as achieving other departmental goals. Some of department goals are developing good relationship with the community as well as empowering commanders together with their subordinates. It focuses on sharing information, responsibility, fostering accountability, as well as improving tactics used to solve crime. Although, it has also been criticized for been incompatible with the community, inflexible and undermining some goals of policing, it is still acknowledged as an important organizational development in policing during the latter half of the 20th century (BJA, police executive research forum, compstat, 2010).
The military is tasked with the duty and responsibility of protecting the nation from external attacks and managing any attacks that may happen. Over the years, countries across the world have engaged in conflicts originating from differences in policies and invasion of privacy and unfair treatment of citizens in foreign countries. In...
The United States has grown as a society since the days as a colony of England, no longer is it a collection of small cities and rural towns. Urbanization has pushed the country into the next level as a society and the old informal watch and constable system are no longer an adequate method to control criminal disorder. Modern law enforcement shares many similarities with the law enforcement of the past but has also expanded and improved upon

Ronald V Clarke originally developed the idea of situational crime prevention in the 1980’s (Brantingham & Brantingham 2005). This particular crime prevention theory addresses techniques that increase the effort required to commit the crime, increase the risks involved with committing the crime, reducing the reward gained by the offender after committing the crime, reducing the provocation between the offender and others and remove excuses (Brantingham & Brantingham 2005). Majority of crime is believed to be committed because there are no high risks of being caught and the rewards outweigh the risks (Brantingham & Brantingham 2005). Increasing the effort by controlling access to locations and target hardening can deflect many offenders, as more effort is needed to commit the crime (Brantingham & Brantingham 2005). Another main technique would be to increase the risks; this may be achieved by extending guardianship, creating natural surveillance or artificial surveillance such as CCTV (Brantingham & Brantingham 2005).
Crime Analysis has many benefits to the community. Community engagement, targeted initiatives, strategic use of resources, and data-driven decision-making contribute to decreasing crime. Crime prevention and community satisfaction with police services, while linked to the number of officers on the streets, does not depend entirely on the visibility of patrol officers. Community engagement, targeted initiatives, strategic use of resources, and data-driven decision-making contribute to decreasing crime. So in closing I believe that departments that take the positive elements of foot patrols and combine their efforts with crime analysis that focuses on the time, location, and type of crime, may use the findings to develop strategies to decrease crime and enhance the quality of life in their communities.
Intelligence-Led Policing (ILP) is a method of crime control. It involves the collection of data on “crime and disorder”, (Newburn, T Criminology 2017 p650) which is then analysed. From the knowledge based information, decisions are made, on the best way of tackling crime and prevention, especially with limited resources. ILP fundamental purpose is to focus on known criminals and infiltrate their criminal activities. The police were under pressure to become efficient in the battle against crime, so reinventing themselves and becoming in eyes of the public “value for money” (Radcliffe, J p 26) ILP consists of 4 stages, targeting, gathering, analysis and dissemination. The use of informers in the ILP is fundamental. The audit commission report 1993 main purpose was to analysis/regulate effective policing.
Approaches to crime prevention have emerged over time and are demonstrated in different solutions, practices, and policies executed by law enforcement, courts, corrections, family, and community. Some of the dominant approaches to crime prevention currently used by law enforcement, courts, corrections, family, and community are: situational crime prevention, crime prevention through social development, crime prevention through environmental design, community crime prevention, reduction of recidivism, and policing. In this essay, I will compare and contrast the dominant approaches used for crime prevention and analyze which approaches are most effective. I will identify and apply at least four approaches used in law enforcement, legislation, courts, corrections, family, and community within the crime prevention programs.
The topic for discussion in this work is enshrined in U.S. Coast Guard mission challenges. The topic for research is “Enforcement Seams Caused by Differing Laws, Policies & Procedures in relation to Immigration” (U.S. Coast Guard Office of Law Enforcement. 2011, p. 6). According to Bush (2003), the security situation in the world is challenged by ever increasing global terrorism. Introduction of counterfeit products, the need for reinforcement of anti-dumping policies, drug and human trafficking remains a real threat in U.S. (U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP]. 2013). Sometimes, balancing between ethics and regional safety remains an elusive aspect (Bush, 2003). Ethical...
