The Police Working Personality

January 27, 2020 7 Comments APA, Law

A new police recruit is typically introduced to the value-laden subculture of police work a unique socialization process. It is vital to understand this process, because the values and expectations learned through it not only contribute to the nature of many important police issues but also determine how the police view and respond to those issues, particularly integrity and corruption; however, the issue of corruption can be looked at differently.

After reading the assignments, lectures, PowerPoint presentations, and viewing the article above, you have a better understanding of the police working personality, police subculture, and ethical and professional duties of a police officer. For this discussion address the following topic:

What did Chief Smith do that changed the department?  Look at your local police department, are there any police integrity issues (look for newspaper articles in your area that relate to police activities)?  How could your police department benefit from Chief Smiths approach?

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Social Problem Pertaining to Sexuality PowerPoint

January 27, 2020 1 Comment MLA, Social Sciences

Assignment Requirements

You will need to conduct research on your specific social problem with at least 7-10 SCHOLARLY resources (e.g., books, newspaper articles, news magazine articles, sociological journals, internet sites, videos, interviews, etc.). Students are encouraged to use COC’s library database, and click the option “peer-reviewed” in the search to ensure resources are in fact scholarly works.

After you have conducted your research, you will analyze your information using the following questions as a guide:

1. Discuss the history of your social problem and how it relates to sexuality. How did it emerge?  How did it come into existence?

2. How do members of society perceive this problem?

3. How has the problem changed over time?

4. What has caused it to change?

5. Discuss any stable features of the institution, that is, features that have not changed.

6. As a way to better accommodate members of society, what solutions can be offered?

7. Who are the major participants in the possible solution? What are their roles and statuses?

8. Does your institution work better for some members of society (as opposed to others)? This is where you will use conflict theory, ie: Who is benefiting and who is being exploited by this social problem pertaining to sexuality?

You will then organize and submit your information in outline format on a PowerPoint (10 15 slides). Your slide presentation should include images, videos, charts and graphs where applicable. You are welcome to use Google Slides (Links to an external site.), Open Office Impress (Links to an external site.), or Prezi (Links to an external site.) if you do not have access to PowerPoint.
