| STUDY SHEET -- CHAPTER 5 (Remember, the main policing problem is low clearance rates!) What are the 2 basic conservative strategies for �unleashing police�? see page 85 (1. More police 2. Remove restraints on police - Exclusionary rule and Miranda) How was the Kansas City study done, and what did it find? What does Walker conclude about the number of police and deterrence? Why don�t �crackdowns� usually work? What is faster response time, and would improvements reduce crime? What is �problem oriented policing� and does it appear to work? What does Walker conclude about �Does policing make any difference at all?� Would improving detective work make a difference in crime rates? (see Figure 5.1 page 97) (Note: fingerprints and DNA don�t work in reality like they do on TV) Does "targeting" career criminals improve clearance rates? What is the �exclusionary rule� - does it hamper police work or improve police work? What is the �Miranda warning� - does it hamper police work or improve police work? What does Walker conclude about the potential for reducing crime through the above changes in policing? |
