CJ340-6: Evaluate noble cause corruption within law enforcement. Video Analyses Noble cause corruption follows the teleological model of ethics. The approach emphasizes good ends and is a product of police officer overinvestment in their work. Police officers believe that in foregoing established legal procedures, they will more effectively remove criminals from the street and protect the public from harm. Examples of noble cause corruption include falsifying reports, planting or fabricating evidence, and/or exceeding or abusing lawful authority. In doing so, police officers believe that a desirable end is achieved (Martinelli, 2006). Before starting this assignment, be sure you have read the Martinelli article titled Unconstitutional Policing. You should also view the following video segments regarding police practices. Video 1: NYPD Frisk Program: Noble Cause Corruption Video 2: Washington Police Caught Speeding Compose a 3- to 5-page essay that examines the merit of the police action. In your essay, please examine and apply concepts from the course that are relevant to the actions demonstrated by the police officers depicted. Your essay should accomplish the following: Identify whether the behavior is ethical or unethical. If ethical, what greater purpose or law enforcement responsibility does it serve to accomplish and why? If the action is unethical, why is it unethical, and why does it not serve a law enforcement responsibility or tasking? What theory or theories could be applied to either the ethical or unethical action or approach adopted by the police officer(s)? The completed essay should be a minimum of three but no more than five pages in length. The essay should examine the action depicted and its merits, and effectively integrate ethical concepts and theory into your analysis. NOTE: This assignment will require outside research. Use at least two credible sources beyond the text material. You may consult the Library, the internet, the textbook, other course material, and any other outside resources in supporting your task, using proper citations in APA style. Discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the resources used. Read about how to select credible sources. References ABC News. (2013, May 1).

Explain the role of the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Court (FISC). How has the age of the internet and personal electronics complicated the application of FISA? Consider PRISM and BLARNEY in your answer. SLP Assignment Expectations Length: This SLP Assignment should be 4-6 pages, not counting the cover page and references. Assessment and Grading: Your work will be assessed based on the performance assessment rubric that is linked within the course. Review it before you begin working on the assignment. Source Citations in the Body of the Paper: Cite sources in the body of the paper to provide supporting evidence for main points and definitive statements; to identify where you found your information; and to give credit to those whose ideas you are using. References: Use reliable, authoritative, and credible sources as your references, such as, professional and established periodicals; peer-reviewed journal articles are preferred. If you use the internet to find articles, make sure the sources are credible. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source.

Direct quotes are rarely necessary; students who use them when unnecessary will forfeit credit for critical thinking. For verbatim/direct quotes, enclose the quoted text in quotation marks and then cite the author, date, and location within the source (i.e., page number, paragraph number, or time stamp). For paraphrased ideas, you must give credit to the original author in an in-text citation. Organization: Include a Cover Page on your paper. Use headings and subheadings to organize your paper. Grammar and Spelling: Assignments are expected to adhere to standard guidelines of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence syntax. Points may be deducted if grammar and spelling impact clarity.

Assignment 1, CRJU 7370, Civil Liability in CJ

Choose one question from each of the following four pairs. This is an open book essay exam, but it is imperative that you discuss the issues in your own words. Ive got access to the same text, and I do not want any cutting and pasting. Nor are any AI generated manuscripts allowed. Refer to the course policy on Academic Honesty and Integrity set forth in the Course Syllabus.

1) Chapter One presents a lot of statistics related to liability claims filed against police and correctional agencies. As CJ scholars we know that it is more important to look at trends rather than one or two highly publicized cases. So, identify the most common types of civil liability incurred by law enforcement agencies. Then discuss the trends that you see in terms of who wins those claims. For this question stick to cases that involve non-CJ plaintiffs. In other words, the people filing claims do not work within the CJS.

1A) Chapter One, take on the same issue as presented above, except this time go with claims that are filed by CJ plaintiffs, i.e., officers or staff that are suing their respective agencies.

2) Chapter Two and Three lets begin with Torts. What type of actions are Torts? Go through the necessary elements to bring a successful case. Describe the different types that are most applicable to the CJS and use examples to illustrate. Also, in terms of bringing civil actions, which is best a state or federal court? Or does it matter?

2a) Chapter Two, just when we were establishing Civil Law principles along comes another application of the Criminal Law. Anyway, it is clear to see that criminal liability under Title 18 U.S. Code Sections 241 & 242 (1886) may be connected to successful civil lawsuits. There are plenty of examples to demonstrate when one set of bad actions leads to both types of liability.

3) Chapter Three, summarize the general defenses to tort actions, illustrate with examples.

3a) In Chapter Three we see that Federal Agents and Officers are NOT immune to civil liability however, plaintiffs must choose the correct laws and procedures. Explain.

4) Chapter Four is all about Section 1983 litigation. First, what are the elements of a Section 1983 claim? Then discuss the significance of the landmark decision Monroe v Pape, this should include the facts of the case, the Supreme Courts ruling and the impact of this decision on the CJS.

4a) First identify the elements of a Section 1983 claim. Then present the remedies available under a Section 1983 claim.

The textbook is Civil Liability in Criminal Justice, 8th Edition, Routledge Publishing.
