• Constitutional Policing. Police must obey the law
  in their effort to control crime. Legal

  law, they jeopardize the rights of the accused
  and the rights of the innocent. The Fourth
  Amendment of the Constitution states
• The right of the people to be secure in their
  persons, houses, papers, and effects, against
  unreasonable search and seizures, shall not be
  violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon
  probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation,
  and particularly describing the place to be
  searched and the persons or things seized.

• CRJ 201 Week 5 DQ 2 Justice

• CRJ 201 Week 5 Final Paper Building a More Just
  Society

• Focus of the Final Paper
• The purpose of the Final Paper is for students to
  pick a branch of the criminal justice system and
  then answer, for the role of a specific
  professional, the branch of the criminal justice
  system, and the criminal justice system at large,
  how they can use the social justice principles of
  equality, solidarity, and human rights to build a
  more just society.
• Example if the student chooses law enforcement
  and the issue is profiling citizens to
  investigate potential crime, the students will
  research, analyze, and propose how a law
  enforcement officer, law enforcement agencies,
  and the criminal justice system at large can each
  use the social justice principles of equality,
  solidarity, and human rights to build a more just
  society.

• Justice seeks to make things right. The idea of
  justice is based on ethics, equality, human
  rights, religion, and solidarity. John Rawls says
  that justice is the first virtue of social
  institutions, as truth is of systems of thought.
• Is justice the first virtue of the criminal
  justice system? Why or why not? Have your ideas
  about the concept of justice changed since the
  beginning of this course?
