Police leadership is increasingly dependent on community oriented policing (COPS) federal grants because of diminishing financial
resources. This paper demonstrates the importance of excellent police grantsmanship skills while simultaneously providing
theoretical and concrete steps for achieving a successful grant package. Furthermore, a case study example is presented where
COPS grants and federal funding assisted in the acquisition of community-oriented and problem-solving strategic objectives. 相似文献

This research illustrates the benefits of Universal Design for Instruction (UDI) and the Systematic Design for Instruction
(SDI) in the classroom. The UDI and SDI approaches assist in accommodating legal mandates, diversity and equity among students
without compromising academic standards. The UDI philosophy and SDI methods of instruction serve as the foundation for an
introductory criminal justice course. The focus is on diverse student learning styles and active learning strategies. A questionnaire
evaluated student opinions concerning their experiences with varied instructional modalities and computer technology. The
preliminary survey findings were positive for active learning demonstrations, varied learning experiences, and on-line practice
testing. Summative evaluation results indicate that these are preferred learning modalities for student participants in two
introductory criminal justice courses at the University. 相似文献

This research provides helpful information for those who evaluate police performance. While researchers commonly espouse the
merit of using more than one form of research police evaluation often involves citizen surveys exclusively. Demographic factors
and the “halo effect” can influence police evaluations, particularly in rural communities which are especially vulnerable
to political agendas and personal relationships that can skew survey data. Our research finds that while citizens generally
evaluate police favorably, a high percentage of “don't know” responses suggest that citizens are not prepared to evaluate
all aspects of police services. Furthermore, police evaluator observation reveals that police services were inadequate, both
within the organization of the department and the patrol practices. Finally, some questions, not traditionally included in
police evaluation surveys reveal high levels of fear among citizens. These inconsistencies question the exclusive use of citizen
surveys and may indicate indirect evidence of a “halo effect”. A conscientious effort to combine quantitative and qualitative
measures may better capture relevant information concerning the quality of police services.

While reasons for returning to abusive partners have received considerable attention in research on intimate partner violence,
few studies have examined the reasons why victims fail to follow through with the protection order process, regardless of
whether or not they return to their abusive partners. Fifty-five women who were in the process of withdrawing a protection
order against a male intimate partner were surveyed in the present analysis. Recognizing that reasons given for withdrawing
a protection order often follow common themes, individual responses were organized into several “domains,” or groupings of
such reasons. The most commonly cited domain involved a “concrete change” on behalf of the victim or defendant, which made
the protection order less necessary in the victim’s view. This was closely followed by the domain addressing emotional attachment
to the abuser. Implications for future research and policy are discussed. 相似文献
