"According to Wetendorf, the real difference between police abusers and other abusers is that the police officer that abuses is "tougher and more dangerous". Wetendorf states that "they have training, a badge, a gun, and the weight of the police culture behind them." These are the very points that are used as tactics of abuse by the officer commits domestic abuse and/or violence to his spouse and/or family."

From the Paper
"The police officer?s job is one that is demanding as well as dangerous. From the routine traffic stop to the pursuit of someone armed and dangerous, the police officer depends on the technology and equipment that are the tools of his trade. The advancement of technology in the twentieth century was one of rapid acceleration and has proven to be effective both in the control as well as the perpetration of crime. The technology provided to the police officer is being at all times defended by offensive creations and implementations by the criminal element in society."

Abstract
This essay reviews a text by Arat-Koc that explains changes in Canadian society towards female participation in the workforce, (as well as inadequate arrangements for child care, and how this has produced reliance on foreign domestic employees in the homes of those who are able to afford them. Arat-Koc estimates that the demand for domestic workers, often from Third World countries, will increase, and without careful examination of the conditions under which these women work or scrutiny of the implications of the temporary work visas under which they are admitted to Canada. Foreign workers continue to fill the gaps in the Canadian domestic sphere although there is need for clarification of their safety, working in relative isolation as they do, within private homes, and the likelihood of exploitation.)

Abstract
The writer discusses what the role of a police officer should be in domestic violence situations and the level of training police officers should receive to better prepare them for domestic violence calls. It also discusses signs of strangulation, what police officers should look out for, and the lack of training in this area.
From the Paper
"Part of the problem with training is that even today, many law enforcement agencies still do not recognize domestic violence as a legitimate concern, or even a statistic worthy of study. Just ten years ago in 1994, the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics did not include the term "domestic violence" in over 700 pages of evaluation and statistics (Davis 1). Even the most seasoned law enforcement professional will acknowledge that the criminal justice system cannot prevent or anticipate all domestic violence cases. However, good training can allow the officer to recognize patterns and issues in relationships that can point to domestic violence, and ultimately, it can help save lives, as domestic violence is still a leading cause of death in disputes and in officers responding to calls."

Abstract
This paper addresses a series of five questions proposed that range from police policies on domestic violence to police corruption. The first question concerns domestic violence and the police of mandatory arrest of the accused abuser. A weighing of the benefits and detriments of such a policy are explored. The second question concerns the role of law enforcement in the war on terror. The modern approaches of policing and how they conform to terror prevention are explored. The third question explores the theories of police corruption. Actions are proposed as to how to run a police department devoid of corruption. The forth question concerns the Miami-Dade Employee Identification System and its aim of preventing police abuse. The successes and failures of the system are discussed. The final question concerns the introduction of technology into the modern police department. The pros and cons of such technologies are also explored.
From the Paper
"The policy of community based policing, where the police department reaches out to the local community through increased personal relationships with its members has been a gaining popularity over the past 20 years. (Henderson, Miller, Ortiz, Sugie p.1) Community policing has been proven effective to increase public safety through the strengthened ties between the community and the police department. It is intuitive that the more familiar an officer is with the community that they police, the more likely it is that the community will cooperate with the officer in police matters, and the less likely a misunderstanding will occur.

Abstract
This paper explains that, while white male officers continue to form the majority population of the British police force, the hiring patterns over the past years have brought many women, blacks, Hispanics and Asians onto the police forces. Each of these groups brings with it a variety of cultural traits that become police sub-cultures. The author points out that today's leaders believe the composition of the police force and the police workshops should reflect the ethnic diversity of Britain which will enable the constabularies to offer a more sensitive service to the minority ethnic groups, to foster a positive view of the context within which the members of these groups are positioned and to improve the quality of their relationships with them. The paper relates that the Self-Categorization theory, a social psychological theory developed by John Turner and colleagues, states that at different times, a person perceives him or herself as a unique individual and, at other times, as a member of various groups and all of which are equally valid expressions of self: The degree to which a person defines him or herself is both flexible and antagonistic.
From the Paper
"When looking at the concept of organizational culture among police officers, many paradoxes arise. Existing literature focuses mainly on police deviance caused by the existence of cultural traits. Many organizations spend a great deal of time and effort to encourage these same traits in their members. For instance, solidarity among the "rank and file" is seen as the primary reason for police deviant conduct. However, solidarity also provides the basis for exemplary organizational cooperation and teamwork in addition, many police take great pride in the mission of police work, due to its uniqueness and potential to make a difference. At the same time, organizationally, police tend to isolate themselves from their communities, often becoming arrogant and consumed with maintaining the organization for the sake of the force."

Abstract
This essay reviews James Skolnick's and James Fyfe's "Above the Law: Police and the Excessive Use of Force". It discusses the authors' examination of police excessive force and police brutality. In their view, the answer to this problem lies in better accountability. The paper adds a sociological perspective, arguing that police excessive force is related to the phenomenon of social control. The existence of prisons, for instance, necessitate police excessive force, since social elites have a need to criminalize a certain portion of the population.

Abstract
This paper examines how community nursing policies need to change the perception of domestic violence within the United States. The paper looks at two different groups that dealt with domestic violence - a domestic violence support group and a court mandated support group for perpetrators. The paper explains that nurses are in the unique position to be at the forefront in a solution to this problem. Many times, the first person to see a patient within a hospital atmosphere is the nurse and the nurse should be trained to spot potential problems and symptoms of abuse and there should be adequate avenues that should be available to them in order to report suspected abuse. The paper also shows that the primary potential obstacle is the public perception of how domestic violence is seen and that nurses can be very beneficial by bringing the problem to the attention of the community and helping with the interactions between the victims who are their patients and the community and police programs.
From the Paper
"Within the community and hospital setting, a nurse is more likely to see physical and sexual abuse cases (Butler, 2005, p. 54). This means that many times nurses learn to notice the subtle clues that the patient is not willing to admit to, especially when the abuser accompanies the patient. Often, nurses are the primary caregiver to these patients because the doctors are focused on injuries and are often do not spend as much time with the patients. This makes the nurse a key instrument in the domestic abuse situation (Butler, 2005). The nurse often can tell something is not quite right and should be encouraged to convey any concerns that they may have. Nurses should also be on the lookout for more emotional abuse, which can be more difficult to spot. If someone is abusing a person in anyway including verbal or emotional abuse while in the care of the nurse, it should not be let go, the victim should be given adequate care including psychologists and social workers to help in the situation."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"What is Discretion?
In order to understand how police officers use discretion, an individual first must know what it is. Discretion is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as, "the ability to make responsible decisions, individual choice or judgment, power of free decision or latitude of choice within certain legal bounds." (Merriam-Webster Online, unknown). An officer's ability to use discretion and have the ability to make good judgment calls sometimes in a split second is crucial. Otherwise, an officer most likely will not have an extensive career in law enforcement."

Abstract
This work is a case study of intervention programs for domestic violence abusers that specifically focuses on the intervention method known as transformational leadership. Research on this subject suggests that a correlation exists between certain forms of behavior and styles of leadership. It claims that the focus of today's attention in relation to dealing with domestic violence should be one that is squarely upon 'prevention' of domestic violence while at the same time continuing to maintain the crisis service organizations as well as the criminal justice programs. The paper explains that stopping domestic violence is important in the battle to end domestic violence but the ability to completely prevent the occurrence of acts of domestic violence should be sought through research. To this end, within the course of this study the 'transformational' style of leadership is reviewed. The transformational framework acknowledges that crime is a social problem and one that seeks therefore a social solution to the problem of domestic violence. The author includes methodology, research design, charts and statistics to quantify the study. It also offers an extensive review of literature.

From the Paper
"The research in this review of literature has illustrated that there are new methods of treating domestic violence and in fact of dealing with all types of conflicts and that the method is one of 'transformation' or of 'real' and 'actual' change instead of a mere covering of the problem this method strikes the root of the problem. Further this research has shown that domestic violence abusers and the individual with a 'toxic' leadership style have much in common insofar as their personal characteristics or traits which are used in controlling and manipulating those around them."
