Considerations for Marijuana Legalization
Get PDFMarijuana legalization began approximately 29 years ago but legalization has only gained momentum in recent years. Most states in the US have enacted laws allowing for medical marijuana or recreational marijuana use. These laws have all been enacted with the past 20 years and highlighted the complicated issue of legalization of once heavily controlled substances. Minnesota is now beginning the process of legalizing recreational use of marijuana and introduced legislation. Legalization has brought with it public health and safety concerns as well as ethical dilemmas. The specific concerns about an increase in driving while intoxicated/impaired (DWI), crashes, heightened criminality, and adolescent access have been inconclusive. The Ethical contradictions between state and federal law will need to be resolved for legal continuity. Medical practitioners will also need to come to a consensus on the benefits and dangers of prescribed marijuana. Medical marijuana studies have not produced long-term data to confirm its ongoing benefit.
Law enforcement should be one of the leaders in the legalization debate based on the history of the state and federal enforcement of marijuana and their continued enforcement of preceding changes in marijuana laws
Culture of Wellness Toward Resiliency
Get PDFStress and burnout are increasingly prevalent amongst law enforcement officers and civilian staff due to job demands and job-related traumas. A culture of wellness planning is how administrations can build resiliency against stress and burnout. A wellness plan should emphasize organizational responsibility, officer responsibility, formal and informal leadership, and external collaborations. Agencies can also utilize the same cognitive behavioral therapies that supervised release agents find beneficial for clients. There are great similarities between the utilization of cognitive behavioral interventions, evidence-based models, and thought behavioral links between supervised release clients and law enforcement staff members. Often, cognitive behavioral therapies are used to help supervised release clients change their thought processes to change their criminal behaviors. For law enforcement officers and staff members, these same techniques can be used for those struggling with mental health particularly relating to stress or burnout accumulated on the job. If left untreated stress and burnout have a negative impact on how officers and civilian staff carry out their duties. This leads to ethical and moral failures. Agencies can foster staff to have a personal moral compass through external mental health resources, developing clear and concise ethics policies, having leaders who model strong ethical values, and changing the culture within the agency to be mental-health focused first.
Searching methods for this literature review focused on law enforcement and civilian staff stress and trauma. An emphasis was placed on how law enforcement agencies could help staff build resiliency towards stress and burnout and what resources were beneficial
Crime Leads To Time and Time Back To Crime: The Effect Of Employment On Recidivism
Get PDFThis paper opens with a general history of prison systems and the recurring issue of overpopulation in prisons, which leads to the main topic of recidivism rates amongst former offender populations who find themselves with work opportunities. A summary of this issue as a whole is brought up with possible solutions to address the issues, as well as the problems that can and would arise with the proposed implementation of a streamlined prison-based career exploration and job training program. Continuing through the paper, the focus shifts to the ethics of the topic. Ethics play a significant role when looking at the capstone project implementation of inserting career centers into prisons. Questions about funding, fairness toward the struggling general population, and the offender\u27s histories come into play. In this section, this will be addressed, as well as, what this service would provide to criminal justice and corrections, as well as the long-term effects that could arise from the implementation of the prison program.
In the last leg of the paper, the focus shifts back to the incorporation of evidence-based practices into the Capstone project; the two main practices, those being RNR principles and cognitive-behavioral intervention, are introduced. Discussed in this section are the benefit of incorporating both of these practices, potential challenges that could arise, and why this is so important for criminal justice and corrections as a whole
