California Highway Patrolman Craig Peyer: How His Murder Case Affected The General Public's Trust Of Police Officers
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. In 1987, a California Highway Patrol officer was arrested for the strangulation murder of college student Cara Knott while on duty; he was convicted in 1988 after two trials. This case, which made legal history on several issues, served to add to the growing distrust the general public already held toward police officers, giving the populace reason to believe their safety was not necessarily protected under the badge. According to testimony from several women, Patrolman Peyer had a history of pulling over female drivers on a particularly dark and desolate portion of San Diego highway, at which point he engaged the women in long, rambling conversations that left many uncomfortable and scared. How are citizens – women, in particular – supposed to abide by the law when being pulled over when they fear for their very lives if they do? Is the general public justified in feeling scared and vulnerable with regard to the handful of officers whose conduct detrimentally impacts the entire force? Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Case Of Jeremiah Mearday: Conflict Theory
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The case of Jeremiah Mearday, where two Chicago police officers were invested for wrongly beating an eighteen-year-old African American man, illustrates the extent to which the conflict theory has overtaken any ethical aspects of the city's approach to law enforcement. Inasmuch as this particular criminal theory espouses how one's behavior is expressed through one's "self-interests in a material world of threat and violence" (Collins, 1974, pp. 56-61), white officers James Comito and Matthew Thiel of the Grand Central District took it upon themselves to violate Mearday's civil rights without provocation. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
