Security sector reform (SSR) is a major difficulty in many countries, including Egypt and Afghanistan. It can be exorbitantly difficile to come up with an elucidation to problems with it. Security sector reform ““Is the set of policies, plans, programs, and activities that a government undertakes to improve the way it provides safety, security, and justice.” (Ball, Nicole). There are many courses to take when finding a solution to this problem. All of the assiduous work put into the revolutionization may have an immense impact on sustainable peace in that country, as well as how the people in the country act towards police officers. If the security sector is not ameliorated immediately, there can be a negative impact on the peace of the country. Also, this type of transformation differs between countries in political transition and in post-war countries. There are bounteous events that make SSR challenging, as well as a copious amount of happenings that allow it to happen conveniently. Security sector reform contributes to sustainable peace in countless ways. First of all, there are numerous ways to do a satisfactory job of reforming the security sector within countries in political transition. An article says, “A successful SSR program must include a central strategy to guide its operational initiatives.” (Dennys, Christian and Hamilton-Baillie, Tom). This means the program must be centered around one main idea. One very important procedure to follow is not having SSR programs interfering with one another, or having “unity of effort.” This is necessary because you want the programs to move in the same direction and be sequenced to not conflict with other programs. Sustained engagement is also very relevant in the fact that you do not want anyone defying the prearranged plans. Another significant subject to pay attention to is monitoring and evaluation. You must
Solutions used to deter and prevent crime in the film End of Watch (Ayer, 2012) focused on police and the duties officers perform while on patrol. In the movie police officers played a central role in the capture of many gang and drug cartel members. This was told through the perspective of officers Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala. Therefore, the solution to crime concentrated on the police involvement, in this case Taylor and Zavala, through their presence, protection, arrests, and investigations. This solution could be generalized and would be possible through the hard work of dedicated police officers.

In response, the Salvadoran government has attempted to tackle the gang phenomenon using several strategies and methods which have evolved, due to the political and economic dynamics of the country and region, over time.
Several philosophers have provided individual theories on different forms of government as well as how societies prefer to live. Researching the observations different philosophers created is quite interesting. Recognizing that many of the views philosophers had has now shown to be true regarding contemporary issues. The contemporary issue this paper will examine will be the violent acts law enforcement displayed towards their citizens during the G20. This paper will also discuss how John Mills in On Liberty and Rousseau in Discourse would have viewed this issue as well as personal opinions to both Rousseau and Mills ideologies. Through this paper insight on these philosophers views as well as the violence during the G20 will be displayed.
After reading the provided summary, I believe that policing should be opened up to the private security model. There are more advancements and a lot more resources, including money, available to them. I think only positive things could come from applying the private security model to police work. However, officers should still have strict requirements and training like in public policing. The main concern should always be the public’s well-being and that could be done more effectively with more resources offered by the private security
Since September 11, 2001, the criminal justice system has improved its methods to secure our nation from terrorist attacks. These improved methods can be summed into four kinds of categories and actions. The first key action the department of justice took was protecting America through investigation and criminal prosecution. The next changes were legal which were made to enhance the counter-terrorism efforts and help with investigation and prosecution. Then there are the structural changes to the operations of agencies to enhance counter-terrorism efforts....

Furthermore, writers use some example that how America’s security department defended terrorist events and improved in past ten years. Such as the Department of Homeland Security, it has blocked at last 86 terrorist activities. However, they didn’t give us any source to define the credibility of this information, although they may be true. Unlike Poladian’s essay, he provides some sources to help us find more information about the changes in different aspects, such as a quote from psychoanalyst, the change about immigration,

Political uprisings in the Middle East, especially in Muslim nation states have placed Arabian politics back on the focus point of international politics. Political events in certain Arab countries had an excessive impact on the political development of other neighboring states. Resistances and anxieties within different Arab countries triggered unpredictable actions, sometimes sorely to observe and believe. The authoritarian governments of Arabian countries led from various dictators have created a precarious situation for their people, especially in providing national security and maintaining peace in the region. Jack Goldstone argues that the degree of a sultan’s weakness has been often only visible in retrospect; due in part to the nature of the military-security complex common across Middle East states (Goldstone 1). In addition, the existence of various statesmen with political affiliation is concerned in faithfulness of its armed forces. Usually, the armed national forces of several states, mainly those in Arab countries are loyal and closely affiliated to their leaders, which have a major role in state regimes. Arab uprisings in their early spreading appeared legally responsible and with concrete demands from representatives’ peoples, calling for a more open democratic system and reasonable governance. Even though, the system in which popular frustration with government imposes alters considerably from one state to another. These public revolts against different authoritative governments didn’t halt just in Arab states, but they sustained also in the Far East and in the Eastern Europe. Can we say that the popular uprisings in Arab countries could be attributed to the term of globalization? In fact, globalization is a multi...
Taking into account that states asses its strengths in order to adopt the most effective strategies to deal with potential menaces, westerns states understand the advantages of the aforementioned theory. The current threats that the Western world take into account are composed by local, regional and global menaces. To this paper it is essential recognise the scope of all of those elements that configure a threat to the West. Among many others there are drugs, crime, and terrorism, geo-strategic actors such as the Middle East and Russia, and growing powers such as China. These are complicated patterns that states need to strategically cope with. In fact, the security strategy from Western states is framed between the combination o...
Every country has a form of criminal justice system. This system consists in a different series of organizations that work together to defend, sentence and punish those that did not follow the law or have been involved in any type of crime. In most of the countries, the system is similar be-cause is based on law enforcement agencies, attorney generals, judges, courts of law and prisons. All of these organizations work together to contribute towards the better enhancement of the working cooperation within the criminal justice system. However, these procedures won’t al-ways be fully applicable in certain countries.

For everyone, government is the only body of a country - that protects the rights of its citizens; is the one that is concern for the laws to be implemented that are equally made for its people; is as concern as an organization for its members to aid their needs; and, is an authority which transparency exists about on how they function among others. But what’s happening nowadays, are the opposites of the above statements. And, most of its people are aware of the officials behind this confrontation.
