Discussion: Controversies in Policing
½ page Answer the following question in your initial post [due Wednesday]:
The NAS report argues that fairness and effectiveness go hand in hand in terms of achieving the police goal of controlling crime (while ensuring justice). How do the readings in Parry and Richardson on police violations of the Fourth and Fifth Amendment fit into this argument on the importance of police lawfulness and legitimacy (e.g., is there a problem with the exclusionary rule or the Miranda warning in practice)?

½ page Answer the following prompt in your reply to a peer [due Saturday]:
Read the posts of the other student learners and respond to at least one other. In your response, provide an alternative viewpoint/critique or offer a suggestion/solution to the problem. Your response should be substantive in nature and reference the assigned readings.
