Discuss the feasibility of implementation of the tenets of this philosophy.

The concept of Community Oriented Policing was launched to law enforcement agencies around the country in the early 1980’s.  It has been introduced as the solution to the problematic nature of police-community relations.  Considering the problems inherent in the multicultural composition of both the community and the police and the police subculture, please discuss the feasibility of implementation of the tenets of this philosophy. The short assignment is your analysis of the current issue in the criminal justice system (selected by you professor and posted in the “short assignments” folder) from the perspective of one of the theories utilized in the course. This assignment is essentially a mini/abbreviated research paper and should have a strong thesis statement which outlines what the main argument of the paper will be. It should be followed by both an overview of the relevant issue and theoretical perspective selected. Next, the student needs to critically connect details about the issue to the explanatory concepts of the chosen theory. As an example, a paper could argue against the criminal justice system’s use of plea bargaining from a power analysis perspective, using theoretical ideas from the excerpt by Chambliss. Another example would be a paper which argues that mass incarceration is a result of punitive political discourse as theoretically described by Wright.
