The U.S. Constitution affords citizens various rights and freedoms. These include freedom of religion, freedom from unreasonable search and seizures, and the right to equal justice. As upholders of the Constitution, police officers swear an oath to uphold people’s Constitutional rights as they perform their duties to prevent, reduce, and address criminal activities.Of the 27 amendments to the U.S. Constitution, four amendments in particular pertain to the criminal justice process:
The Fourth Amendment prevents unreasonable searches and seizures.
The Fifth Amendment affords people various rights in criminal and civil proceedings. Examples include the right to a grand jury and due process. It also allows people to protect themselves from self-incrimination, and it prohibits double jeopardy
The Sixth Amendment guarantees various rights to criminal defendants, such as the right to a speedy trial, a lawyer, and an impartial jury. It also guarantees defendants the right to know who their accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against them.
The Eighth Amendment prohibits the federal government from imposing excessive bail, excessive fines, or cruel and unusual punishments.
In this assignment, you will be asked to:
Explain the meaning and importance of these four amendments.
Illustrate with an example how the amendment applies to a player and a step in the criminal justice process.
Illustrate with an example, from case law or contemporary articles, of how the amendment applies to the particular player and step in the criminal justice process.

According to a report by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Community-oriented Policing Services (2014),
“This more intensive use of stop and frisk has prompted questions and extensive debate about its
legality and its effects on individuals and minority communities. The limited research conducted thus far
indicates that while these more concentrated stop and frisk interventions have the potential to reduce
crime, they may also negatively impact police-community relations and harm the legitimacy and efficacy
of policing efforts. Given these findings and the heated public debate surrounding stop and frisk, today’s
police executives must think critically about how the acts of stopping, questioning, frisking, and
searching can best be used to achieve crime-control goals in a manner that minimizes their negative
effects” (p. 2).
For this assignment, you will write a 750-1000 word paper critically analyzing the use of stop and frisk as
a policing tactic.
For the paper, you should make a persuasive argument about whether or not stop and frisk should
continue as a policing tactic. Keep in mind that persuasive argument means an argument wellsupported with data and research (not just a personal opinion). The essay should address the
following points:
• How to balance crime prevention and community relations
• Police use of discretion
• Crime control v. Due process
• Racial disparities in policing
• The standard of reasonable suspicion
• If you support stop and frisk, what guidelines can be used to improve its use?
• If you do not support it, what alternatives are available to substitute and why are they
advantageous?
Describe a conflict scenario that has had a lasting effect on you. It can be personal, or public—in the sense that is an issue on the news, war, equal marriage, etc. Describe the emotions that played a role in this scenario and what could or should have been done to have the emotional aspect be more positive. Conclude your analysis by discussing what theory or approach to conflict management would have best applied to this scenario. Remember to provide enough background so that your instructor can fully understand the situation/issue, even though he/she was not there. Your paper should be 2-3 pages and should include relevant, supporting examples, and appropriate APA format and citations.
