Law Homework Help

Imagine you are a criminal justice practitioner (pick from a police officer or correctional officer). If you are police officer, for purposes of this assignment, you are the officer on the scene, responding to the crime and conducting the investigation and arrest. If you are the correctional officer, you are the one working with the person once he or she is sentenced. Address the following in your essay:

1. Begin by reflecting on      how you feel working with someone with a sexual disorder, specifically      pedophilia, and how it would impact you professionally and personally.      Discuss why you feel this way and if you can professionally put aside your      mindset regarding this disorder. If you believe you will have no issues,      discuss why.
2. For those choosing to be      police officers: How would you feel arriving on the scene, questioning      people, and talking to the offender and victim? How would this impact the      way you act? For those choosing to be correctional officers, how would      working with this individual affect you? Would you treat him or her      differently (whether on purpose or not)? How would it influence the way      these individuals would be allowed to socialize with other inmates?
3. Discuss how pedophilia      differs from other sexual disorders. Why do people commonly think of this      disorder, but do not think of the other sex disorders we learned about in      this unit? Explain differences and similarities.
