Book title:( Read only Chapter 7 Crime Control)

Based on material in the Surette book and the link discussing the HALO project in Denver, write a paper that focuses on the concerns of living in a high-surveillance society. Why is it good? Why is it not good? What would you propose if you were in charge of the HALO project in Denver?

FYI:Because this is a college level course, I expect the papers to be written at a college level. This means they should be proofed, use 12 pt font, be double spaced, etc. Each paper should have an introduction telling the reader the purpose and importance of the paper. The paper should also tell the reader how the rest of the paper is structured. The paper should then summarize the topic of the paper. This includes the chapter(s), article(s) read, movies seen, articles reviewed ? whatever the material for the week is. It should then synthesize the reading materials for the week to indicate the student understands and can apply the material. It must also aIDress any specific questions asked on any particular assignment. The paper should conclude with a concluding paragraph and should include references. The university has an excellent writing lab so if you feel your writing skills could use some polishing (and seriously, who couldn?t use improvement ? self included), please contact them.

The paper is required to be in APA format. APA format is easily accessed here: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/. Please note that the APA function in Word does NOT create an APA document. It does some things correctly, but other things it does not. Using it alone without making corrections is not sufficient. Any paper failing to utilize APA will be docked 10 points.

Lecture from the teacher on this chapter:

Chapter 7: Crime Control

After reading Chapter 7, students should:

understand the use of the three types of Madison Avenue-style anticrime ads
comprehend the increased use of media technology to process criminal cases
appreciate the growth of surveillance of public spaces and associated issues and controversies
Media and Crime Control

Much has been written concerning the media as a cause of crime; this chapter examines the increasing use of media and media technology to control crime and to administer justice. Programs and applications can be divided into three areas: (1) Anticrime advertising, (2) Case processing using media technology, and (3) Public surveillance systems.

Media-based anticrime efforts are targeted at three audiences: criminals, victims, and witnesses. All three types of programming are designed to reduce crime and so are usually driven by crime control values. Critiques of these programs usually raise due process and civil liberty concerns. Efforts to use the media to reduce and solve crimes are not new. Some historical examples include ?Wanted Dead or Alive? posters, and the FBI?s ?Most Wanted? list.

What is new is the rapid increase in the number of media-based anticrime efforts since the 1980s.Orojects to positively influence public attitudes using media information campaigns took hold in the 1930s. In the 1950s, media based campaigns aimed at changing social practices in health and other areas began to appear. In the late 1960s, evaluations of prosocial television programming, such as Sesame Street, bolstered attempts to use the media to purposely influence the public.

From this foundation, media-based anticrime programs proliferated. All current renditions utilize advertisement-like media messages and collectively separate into three groups (a/k/a Madison Avenue style anticrime ads). The first group?aimed at offenders?employs ads designed to deter people from committing crimes. Anticrime messages are deployed in existing mass media advertising avenues as public service announcements (PSAs). A second group of PSAs?these aimed at citizens?are victimization reduction messages. The third set of anticrime ads is designed to increase crime clearance and arrest rates by encouraging witness cooperation with law enforcement investigations. Collectively, PSAs, victimization ads, and citizen cooperation ads are popular, have demonstrated some positive effects but have also encountered unanticipated problems

The police surveillance stakeout has a long history and has traditionally been an accepted part of police investigations. Surveillance cameras historically and more recently can be found in banks, transportation centers, school, and airports (to name a few). The police have also traditionally used temporary camera surveillance of specific locations after obtaining a court order. Today the prime justifications for public surveillance systems are couched in broad-scale public safety and antiterrorism goals.The reality of surveillance has shifted from a rare, narrow, activity determined by a need related to a specific criminal case to a common, pervasive, constant presence. This potential surveillance of everyone whenever they appear in public places is the prime cause of unease.

In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and passage of the Patriot Act and related legislation the U.S. is on tack to joining England as a massively camera-surveilled society. Two forms of camera surveillance programs (both forms take advantage of the surveillance effect): (1) completely hiIDen systems that given potential offenders no indication that they are being observed, and (2) clearly marked, open systems.

How effective are surveillance systems in reducing crime?

Findings show that they are more effective in reducing planned crimes, rather than emotional spontaneous crimes. Evaluations further suggest that the systems are most effective in reducing crime when combined with other interventions.
