Introduction
Man is known to be the only creature with all sort of freedom but can exploit his freedom if there are no boundaries set for him and this the reason to why many countries enforce laws to be their guide in governing the country as well for the coming up with one goal of what is right to be done and what is wrong. "Law enforcement is a system governing members of a society to act in organized manner to adhere to the stipulated rules" (Mathieu, 2005).
This paper will have a look at the way the law interacts with its enforcement as well as how it interacts within the law. Critically its very important to understand that the criminal justice system, unlike many countries around the globe, the defendant are innocent until proven by the court to be guilty, the fundamental assumption is a core principle customary by the United State Constitutions. It underscores every aspect of criminal case in the court.
State law
The constitutions of the United State; is the supreme law of the land and anticipate any State or local law which can diminish the rights guaranteed by constitutions. The Uniform Laws Adopted or Proposed by States section provides information and links to sites dealing with laws that are promulgated throughout commerce, business and finance, probate law, rules of evidence for both civil and criminal courts, and family law. The states in a uniform, consistent manner and the areas these laws cover include sales and commerce, business and finance, probate law, rules of evidence for both civil and criminal courts and family law.
Duties and functions of the law enforcer
Duties and responsibilities of the law enforcer officer they vary and may differ from one political perspective to another. Typically the main duties of the law enforcer are to keep peace, law enforcement, investigations of crimes and protection of citizens and properties of the citizens. They are expected to respond to various situations which may arise while they are on duty. They are rules and guidelines which dictate on how the officer should behave and reconstruction are placed on what the uniformed officer wears and within the community. Majorly for the western countries, their legal system states the role of the police is to maintain order and surveillance of the public and apprehension of suspected violators of the law. They are also entitled to discourage crimes through high visibility policing and most of them have an investigative capability. They are also entitled to arrest which is granted by the court magistrates. They are also responsible to respond to emergency calls along side with routine community policing. The law enforcers they are also responsible for reprimanding minors` offenders by giving out citation which result in the imposition of fines, especially for violation of traffic law.
Safely interacting within the law
As the laws enforcer are engaged in a situation, they are engaged professionally and they fulfill the role which is mandated as both the enforcement of the law and also self preservation to a point of lethality. Generally, the uniformed officer doesn`t know you and once the question of the law is at hand, they are supposed to treat you naturally with an eye toward upholding the law.
They have what can be well thought-out a social contract with the law enforcement. As such officer deserves a healthy amount of respect and differences. They have guns after all and one must do what they say with the scope of suspect`s rights at any given situations. In any interaction with a uniformed police officer, one should take extra care and should not panic as you are within the law and explain why you are doing anything you are doing and you will interact within the law safely. Give a minimum information asked and don`t say anything else. If you are really caught in the act, just go with them and keep the communication minimal. During the arrest is the right time to contest the police`s action.
The Juvenile System of Law & Order
In every justice system they have goals they should accomplish. For instance, California's adult and juvenile justice systems have as one of their goals public safety. California's adult system also has punishment of offenders as a goal, while California's juvenile justice system they have different goal-treatment and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. "The state's juvenile justice system has a broad array of methods and programs for addressing juvenile crime, taking into account the ruthlessness of the offense and the background of the offender" (Blumenthal, 2005). These include treatment programs, confinement, captivity, and community supervision. The system provides for rising responses to offenses of increasing ruthlessness, such as informal trial, formal probation, detention, and incarceration. And, because the system has as goal rehabilitation, many more agencies have a role to play in California's juvenile justice system than in the adult system, including schools, social services agencies, and community-based organizations.
The Juvenile Justice Process.
Following the arrest of a juvenile offender, a law enforcement officer has the discretion to release the juvenile to his or her parents, or take the offender to juvenile hall. The county probation department, the agency responsible for the juvenile hall, has the discretion to accept and "book" the offender or not, in which case, the disposition of the juvenile is left to the police (Bill, 2006). Because most of the state's juvenile halls are overcrowded, mainly with juveniles being held for violent offenses, juvenile halls may accept only the most violent arrestees, turning away most other arrestees.
If the offender is placed in juvenile hall, the probation department and/or the district attorney can choose to file a petition with the juvenile court, which is similar to filing charges in adult court. Or, the district attorney may request that the juvenile be "remanded" to adult court because the juvenile is "unfit" to be adjudicated as a juvenile due to the nature of his or her offense. For a juvenile who is adjudicated and whose petition is sustained in juvenile court, the offender can be placed on probation in the community, placed in a foster care or group home, incarcerated in the county's juvenile ranch or camp, or sent to the Youth Authority as a ward of the state. For a juvenile tried and convicted in adult court, the offender can be sentenced to the Department of Corrections, but can be placed in the Youth Authority through age 24.
Maintaining Forensic Evidence for Law Enforcement
Forensic evidence is a method used during crime investigation. Network forensics it involves the preservation, identification, extraction, documentation, and interpretation of network data. It lies at the crossroads of electronic information systems and the law, and involves reviewing a compromised system and piecing together step-by-step what happened. "Law enforcement agencies may be called upon to investigate intrusions if an intruder gains unauthorized access to a computer system protected by law" (Kuklin, 2008)...
