Vice refers specifically to crimes of a moral nature and usually refers specifically to prostitution, gambling, and also the dealing of drugs. Vice activities are defined differently by different communities and in general do not represent the laws of the nation or even of the state. Moreover, vice crimes are to be contrasted with crimes of a violent nature. Vice crime is community-defined; local laws generally reflect the social and political beliefs of its citizens as well as their expectations of the character of the jurisdiction. The town of Spurberry has a relatively low incidence of violent crime but vice crime is relatively common. Therefore, the Spurberry Police Department has had to beef up its vice squad in response to the growing needs of the community.
Spurberry is a mid-sized suburban town in the American Midwest with a population of 20, 371. The population is largely middle-class and mostly Caucasian. Spurberry has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Each season poses unique problems for the Spurberry Police Department's vice squad, which contends with a wide range of criminal problems. However, violent crimes are less common in Spurberry than the big three: prostitution, gambling, and drugs. Spurberry's rate of non-violent crimes in these three categories is relatively high when compared with other towns of the same population and demographics. However, though an aggressive attempt to hire qualified officers from other police jurisdictions in the state, Spurberry's Vice Squad has demonstrated excellence in law enforcement. In fact, two years in a row the Spurberry Vice Squad has won awards for crime prevention and number of successful prosecutions of vice crimes. Several upcoming community events taking place in Spurberry demand a revamping and updating of the Vice Squad's policing policies. In particular, the Spurberry Police Department Vice Squad will implement...
The Vice Squad will approach these events similarly but with specificity regarding the unique situations that might arise in each event.
Because of an increase in funding from state and federal sources due to the increases in population over the past five years in Spurberry, the police department budgeting committee has decided to allocate funds for more patrol cars, improved information technology resources and communications infrastructures, and increased human resources staffed in both field vice and non-field operations such as emergency 9/11 dispatchers and vice squad office workers.
Persistent Patroling
The Spurberry Police Vice Department will be increasingly dedicated to persistent police patroling in the upcoming year. The Vice Department alone will put more patrol cars on the streets especially during the aforementioned events: school carnival, town hall concert, and two proms. The Spurberry Police Department is also in the process of hiring two more vice squad officers from other jurisdictions. These officers should be full members of the vice squad by the end of the year. Therefore, by the time the springtime events such as the junior and high school proms take place, the Spurberry Vice Squad forces will be enhanced.
Persistent Patroling entails encouraging vice squad officers to pay particularly close attention to areas targeted by perpetrators of…
The Prohibition made these mobsters however more daring and they begun to become involved in criminal operations that affected the American communities as well. Aside the Prohibition, it has to be stated that at that time, the United States was also facing severe economic problems. This was as such the moment organized crime was born. There were numerous nations conducting illicit operations during Prohibition, including the Irish, the Jews,
Alcohol Prohibition lead to crime? Prohibition is an awful flo We like it. It can't stop what it's meant to stop. We like it. It's left a trail of graft and slime, It don't prohibit worth a dime, It's filled our land with vice and crime. Nevertheless, we're for it." The national prohibition of alcohol in the United States did the exact opposite of what it was designed to do. Instead of producing "clean living," alcohol-free Americans as
influential theories related to deviance by Robert K. Merton. Firstly, the paper provides the historical context within which the theorist produced their ideas. Secondly, the paper provides a summary of their original theory. Thirdly, the paper provides a discussion of how the model has been critiqued and altered as new research has emerged. Lastly, the paper delves into the theory's current usage/popularity within criminology. The historical context within which the
2.5. Limitations of the study At the level of the limitations, these refer to the usage of secondary information, as opposed to the collection of primary data through the direct analysis of the Chinese market. This limitation is nevertheless addressed through the integration of multiple sources of valid and verifiable information, leading as such to the creation of solid, relevant and reliable findings. The second limitation is one common to all research
As Christopher Hosford (2009) best put it, "to marketers, lists are still important but the uses to which they are put seem to be in transition." With the aid of predictive analytics, marketing activities make a transition from the simple identification and attraction of customers, to more complex endeavors of customer loyalty and retention, generation of sustainable revenues as well as other elements of marketing ROI (return on investment). This
Government Since gang-related crimes fall within the jurisdiction of state, this research will give an insight on the need to find solutions that increasingly include all levels of government. Congress needs to pass legislation that will change immigration enforcement laws and make more aliens deportable. In addition, the federal government should take a more active participation in helping local and state jurisdictions develop anti-gang responses. The local, state and federal governments
