Question 1
The five basic urban-policing problem that led to deviance are firstly, the Corruption, secondly, the misconduct, thirdly, the excessive force, fourthly, the police brutality and finally, discrimination. As stated by McGlynn-Wright, Crutchfield, Skinner and Haggerty (2020), the most important among these five basics urban-policing problem are corruption, discrimination and misconduct, which are usually found these days. All these five urban-policing problems are related to the first-line supervisors, as they had to inspect, manage, and supervise the entire team. Corruption as well as discrimination and misconducts are mostly found within them. A first-line supervisor is responsible for overseeing the daily work activities of the production workers and operators in the manufacturing facility.
Question 2
Officer Brown has been a police officer with the Spring Town police department for 2 years where he had gained and earned respect for his dedication and day and night effort. He also achieved the good candidate award and he is being appointed for the next criminal investigating position. Therefore, going against him would be a big deal. The cases and the claims against him raised by the common public were no doubt true. However, without solid evidence no one has the right to charge responsible for any particular offense. Therefore, as his sergeant I would try to either make him aware of the fact by putting example of his reputation and the position he holds or by conducting a meeting session by calling the public or the citizen and directly confess or discuss the matter of missing of the money and good with Mr. Brown face to face.
Question 3
Scenario 1
Supervisors within the criminal justice agencies have to perform a huge role, as they are the in charge of the entire team to manage, operate, supervise and guide them towards the right track. Their position demands strong leadership quality, self-confidence, competence, and management skills in order to understand the subordinates and the work of the department.
Police supervision is the act of supervising, directing, or overseeing the day-to-day work activities of police officers. As they have to deal the entire police team, their performances as well as have to control the crimes rates therefore, they should possess certain leadership qualities. As stated by Nisar and Rasheed (2020), firstly, they should have the active listening power in order to understand the basic complains as well as the sufferings of not only the common citizen but also the other police staffs.
As per the case scenario, the supervisor should actively listen every word and sentence of the sergeant who reported about the two male officers regarding their sexually explicit jokes of one of the female dispatchers. Secondly, with strong sense of humour identifying the two male officers’ inner quality and behaviour is yet another major characteristic of the supervisor in this regard. True leaders should never demean any victims or circumstances because that attitude reflects negatively on the agency. Therefore, this case should be handled tactfully.
Thirdly, before blaming the two male officers collect handful of resources and evidence against them in order to red hand caught them. Fourthly, recognize the female dispatchers and understand her mentality too in this regard, because there are certain cases where females do give or show false allegation for male staffs in order to put them in trouble, or experience certain intimate relationship with the male staff, where joking or gossiping frankly falls under a friendly zone (Jin & McDonald, 2017).
Fifthly, attention to detail range is quite necessary as a leader for this supervisor as he have to handle the team and the criminals together. As per the case scenario, he is being expected to solve the bad behaviour of the two male officers who were found sexually joking at a female dispatcher and even have to handle these types of difficult employees tactfully. In this regard, the supervisor is needed to attentively observe them throughout their duty hours and minutely notice their performances and nature.
After undergoing a thorough observation, certain things should be jotted down by the police supervisor. These would contain certain points such as, whether these officers keep relation with female staffs frequently or not, whether they maintain a substance or drug addictive life style or not, their on-duty performance, their outlook, their respect for female, their perspectives regarding their work or workplace and many more.
After jotting down these points, sixthly, discuss these matters personally with these male officers and request them not to repeat these tasks again. If ever they violate this promise, repeatedly certain steps should be initiated by the supervisor in order to control their repeated bad behaviour. In this regard, suspension, show causing or even transferring this type of ill-mannered employees or police officers is highly needed in order to change their behaviours and bring them on the right track.
Therefore, in these ways and through these several steps a police supervisor can maintain a good order within the organisation and control the bad behaviour of the male officers. Ignoring is not the solution, better not to react but remaining quite even after noticing something is wrong is yet a major crime. The sergeant should have convinced the male officers not to joke like that and should educate them not to disrespect any female staffs (Ma, Kao, Kao & Cho, 2020).
Scenario 2
As per this scenario, Officer Smith as a leader was no doubt capable as well as strong while maintaining the team and the controlling the criminal. However, he has a bad habit or nature to react sarcastically whenever any changes...
