The Death of George Floyd.
Paper details: When is deviance considered to be a disease when it stems from resisting or evading law enforcement? Recurring between people of color and police officers are these ongoing incidents of excessive and/or deadly force. Most blacks are victims with officers proclaiming these suspects actions to be threatening thus calling for a greater magnitude of restraint. Take George Floyd an African American restrained by Minneapolis Police Officer Derick Chauvin who placed his knee to the back of Floyd’s neck. Presuming him to be inebriated ( under the influence) and a physical threat given his stature, Officer Chauvin applied the coke hold obstructing the victim’s airway.
The Death of George Floyd.
He shouted ” I can’t breathe ” with no physical resistance on his part in which Chauvin did not release but applied more knee pressure to his neck. Floyd soon lapsed into a state of unconsciousness and was later pronounced dead at the hospital. Criminal charges did follow with a jury of the court finding Chauvin guilty of attempted murder, and manslaughter. He is currently serving a prison sentence. What did or did not justify this act of deadly force from the police officer’s, media, and court’s perspective? In medicalizing or de-medicalizing deviance, did Chauvin view Floyd’s skin color based on ( racial profiling), physical stature( physiognomy) and inebriated appearance, as signals he may resist and/or flee?
The Death of George Floyd.
Is this reaction linked to the history of slavery in the diagnosis of drapetomania to today’s police practices in their encounters with people of color? To address this define the terms: medicalization and de-medicalization of deviance; racial profiling; physiognomy; slavery, and drapetomania. Must use these terms in the paper correlating to these definitions. Slavery: the most extreme form of social stratification, based on the legal ownership of people. Physiognomy: Correlating outside appearances with inner virtues. https://youtu.be/vksEJR9EPQ8

Race and Deterrence 2022 Best
This paper explores race and Deterrence. (1) Braga et al. (2019), in the assigned article “Race, Place, and Effective Policing,” suggest that some of the social unrest that occurred in largely black communities after Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson (MO) [and more recently after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis]
Race and Deterrence
Instructions: There is no need to relist or recopy each question in your submitted midterm. However, please be sure to clearly indicate which question or sub-question you are answering (e.g., 1a). This take-home exam is intended to be completed on your own, that is, without input or guidance from other students. You will need to submit your completed midterm in canvas by 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 19. I realize this is a somewhat unusual due date/time, but it simply reflects when I will start grading this assignment.
Race and Deterrence
Question 1. Race and Deterrence (1a, 1b, and 1c): 20 points (addressed in weeks 2 and 3) (1) Braga et al. (2019), in the assigned article “Race, Place, and Effective Policing,” suggest that some of the social unrest that occurred in largely black communities after Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson (MO) [and more recently after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis] was attributable in part to the use of more aggressive policing practices, such as order maintenance and broken windows policing, that in some communities long predated these high-profile incidents. (1a) What are two suggested changes to policing that Braga et al. (2019) discuss that they feel would improve racial tensions in black communities?
Race and Deterrence
Historically, it has been argued that for punishment, or the threat of punishment, to be effective, it must satisfy three criteria in order to produce a general deterrent effect. (1b) Explain this statement. Pogarsky (2021) contends in his article on general deterrence, however, that we should invest more in policies, programs, or initiatives that deal with one criterion in particular. (1c) Which criterion of effective punishment does Pogarsky (2021) favor given the existing evidence, AND what are at least two explanations he offers for his position? https://youtu.be/g1th_3vlLd4
