Officer Accountability An officer's proven dishonesty creates a significant problem for the police department. First, ignoring/covering up the officer's misconduct is out of the question, not because the police department is a bunch of Boy Scouts, but because the possible discovery of ignoring/covering up that dishonesty would be devastating to credibility, not only of the initially dishonest person, but also of the superior or department that ignores or covers up the dishonesty. Secondly, this dishonest police officer jeopardizes every criminal case in which he has testified or will testify. Once a police officer has been officially found to have committed a dishonest act, his/her credibility would be questioned in every case, including past cases in which he/she has testified. In addition, the prosecution will have the duty to disclose that dishonesty to every criminal defendants' attorneys involved in any future case that may require this officer's testimony. Consequently, this officer's dishonesty could conceivably affect the outcome of every single criminal case in which he has testified in the past or will testify in the future. The head of the police department must minimize the damage by removing this officer from the field. Third, this officer has served the department for 15 years and has two "infractions" on his employment record. Under those circumstances, his experience and possible usefulness to the police department should still be taken into account. There are several administrative roles within a police department that do not require an officer to be "in the field" or to testify in court; therefore, this officer could still ably serve in the Department in a curtailed role. Consequently, the officer should be advised that he is removed from work "in the field" and that there will be no negotiation on that point. That removal constitutes his "punishment" for his recently discovered dishonesty. However, the officer will also be offered the opportunity to continue in the Department in an administrative role that never requires his testimony in court. Given the facts of this case, this appears to be a possible fair solution for all concerned.?

The work Wilson and Kelling published regarding their "Broken Windows" theory was largely premised on the research of Stanford University psychologist Philip Zimbardo. Working to test the theory of deindividuation, which described a proposed "process in which a series of antecedent social conditions lead to a change in perception of self and others, and thereby to a lowered threshold of normally restrained behavior" (1969), Zimbardo designed a number of ingenious experiments in the late 1960's that ultimately provided the foundations for Wilson and Kelling's eventual interpretation of the "Broken Window" phenomenon. By placing an identical pair of 1959 Oldsmobile autos on two distinctly different streets, one adjacent to the Bronx campus of New York University in an area where crime rates and gang activity were high, and the other on a street in Palo Alto, California near the affluent area surrounding the Stanford University campus, Zimbardo tested the effects of environmental cues on the willingness of individuals to commit an increasingly serious series of criminal act. Although in both cases the cars had left with no license plates and their hoods up, to provide what Zimbardo terms "releaser cues" that signal societal apathy, the behavior observed in Palo Alto, where manicured lawns adorned suburban strip malls and upper-class neighborhoods, was decidedly different than the scene in the Bronx.

Two cases are reviewed, one old and one new, which demonstrate the jurisdictional reach and limits of the U.S. Courts. In 1864, the owners of the steam ship Golden Gate filed charges against a cargo salvage operation in an attempt to recover a portion of the $1.45 million dollars in cash that went to the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Mexico. More recently, the federal criminal justice system took over the investigation and prosecution of Jarod Lee Loughner after he shot and wounded U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and killed federal Judge John Roll and federal employee Gabriel Zimmerman. This essay reveals how U.S. courts help to define federal jurisdictions in criminal matters, both locally and internationally.

Keeping in view the current situation of police corruption and the number of complaints that are being launched against them because of their discrimination towards minorities, there is a need for the government to take effective steps to prevent such events from taking place. Although, it is not going to be an easy job since corruption is way too deep rooted among the police officers than we think, but it should be taken as priority by the government because many people have started to feel insecure in the present situation (Walker et. al, 2001).
