Responding to a classmates thread requires both the addition of new ideas and analysis. A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and built upon by your analysis in order to move the conversation forward. Thus, the response post is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon the thread to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced. As such, replies that merely affirm, restate or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous thread(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion will receive appropriate point deductions.

In 2014 during the Ferguson Missouri riots and as recent as the Baltimore City Police Riots last month, an increase in protests against police use of excessive force has created conflict between police and communities across the United States. As a result debates concerning how the police culture can be changed and managed is on the rise.

21st century policing has enabled the use of technology to assist police in doing their jobs. For example, body worn camera technology is gaining popularity among many police departments because of their ability to film on scene interactions, which can be reviewed later if police are accused of misconduct or use of force.

Many advocates believe that the use of body worn cameras can minimize/reduce allegations of police misconduct and break down the barriers surrounding the police subculture.

Assignment 2
For this assignment, respond to the following prompt on a Word document:
                  *Revocation for Technical Violations?
The cost of standard federal probation is about 3,800 a year.  Federal incarceration, on the other hand, cost almost 33,000 a year.  In 2011, the National Institute of Corrections reported that the most likely reason for prison incarceration of probation violators is technical violations.  Are our prisons being filled with technical violators, leaving no room for the more violent offenders?  Are we using sensible violation policies and practices?  If you were working in the field of corrections, what would you do with offenders who violate the technical conditions of their probation?  Should there be alternatives to revocations for persons who violate the technical conditions of probation?
