The PCA Citizens who believe that the police have exceeded their powers can
complain to the police authorities. Any complaint that has been made
about a conduct of a police officer must be recorded. The type of
complaints that have been made determines how it is dealt with,
although the police are under a duty to take steps to obtain or
preserve any evidence that would be relevant to the complaint. If the
complaint were of a minor incident then the matter would be dealt with
informally, and if the complaint is proved, then the individual who
made the complaint will receive an apology. However, if disciplinary
action is thought to be needed then the police force concerned with
the incident should investigate the matter, but if it involves a high
ranking officer, then the investigation would be carried out by
another police force.
The PCA is an independent body set up by the Government to oversee
public complaints against police officers in the 43 police services in
England and Wales. The powers of the PCA are now governed by the
Police Act 1996.
The PCA supervises investigations into complaints against police
officers in England and Wales.

...nsist of police officers seconded from the police
services in the region. Police officers would not investigate
colleagues in the same police service as themselves. There would,
thus, always be an external investigation into complaints.
Other police misconduct matters requiring further consideration
include, the extension of disciplinary sanctions to officers for a
defined period after retirement; ending the 'right of silence' of
officers in disciplinary hearings and applying the same modified
caution as laid down by the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act;
a power to cease supervision of complaints which are found not to
merit such scrutiny, for example, where the alleged injuries did not
actually occur; the right of appeal to the independent PCA against the
refusal of a chief constable to record a complaint.
In the Brainology article, professor Carol Dweck put forward two mindsets: fixed mindset and growth mindset. That is an educational project that was instituted by Carol Dweck and made her famous for. That is talking about transforming student’s motivation to learn found out that people have fixed mindset or growth mindset all have profound effects on their motivation, learning and school achievement. From this article, this is particularly designed to help students break all boundaries and limits set by negative learning perspectives, while also instilling self-confidence is fixed, that each person has a certain amount and we call this a fixed mindset. A fixed mindset makes challenges threatening for students, and it makes mistakes and failures

The orbitofrontal cortex is found to be associated with the processing of cognitive information related to decision making. This is, responding to the reward or punishment outcomes experienced by an individual after making a decision and, responding to the expectation of facing such an outcome later. This region of the brain is involved in the regulation of emotions during the process of decision making thereby causing an individual to engage in certain social behaviours. This essay will briefly discuss the associations between the decision making process of social behaviour and its relation to emotion, empathy and inhibition.
Identical twins have the same DNA and the same genes. They have many similarities such as resemblances in facial and body expression, their laugh, and much more. Despite these similarities, as these twins get older the differences that develop between their appearances can be remarkable. It is also very possible for one twin to get a deadly disease, such as cancer, while the other does not. The first question that may run through your mind is how? The answer is the epigenome. In contrast to the genome, which is the set of your entire DNA, the epigenome is what tells your genome what to do and when. In other words, if the genome is thought of as the hardware of the computer, with its physical parts being genes, the epigenome can be thought as the software of the computer, influencing how and when these physicals parts should be used. The epigenome also dictates the cell's behavior and function.

The situation in which a police officer who is suspicious of an individual detains the person and runs his hands lightly over the suspect 's outer garments to determine if the person is carrying a concealed weapon.One of the most controversial police procedures is the stop and frisk search. This type of limited search occurs when police confront a suspicious person in an effort to prevent a crime from taking place. The police frisk (pat down) the person for weapons and question the person. A stop is different from an arrest. An arrest is a lengthy process in which the suspect is taken to the police station and booked, whereas a stop involves only a temporary interference with a person 's liberty. If the officer uncovers further evidence during the
The first thing that should be thought about prior to any form of interrogation is the suspect’s rights; particularly his or her Miranda Rights. Also known as the Miranda warnings, “the purpose of [which] depends on whether you are the law enforcement officer or the suspect. From a suspect's point of view, it is to remind you that you have a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and not incriminate yourself. From an officer's point of view, it is to help preserve the admissibility of your statements in a criminal proceeding” (Second Call Defense, 2014). There are four main principles to the Miranda statement that an officer will read; although the exact wording may change from police department to police department. Miranda warnings or rights basically state that: you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used against you, you have the right to an attorney, and you may be appointed an attorney if you cannot afford one. In addition, an individual may wave his rights outlined within the Miranda statements. Suspects can waive their rights to a lawyer and to remain silent by knowingly and voluntari...
Then comes the investigation process. Officers try to sort through the evidence and come up with a solution or a suspect. Next comes the arrest or citation of an individual if the officer believes that there is enough facts and evidence to do so. If an officer does not find enough evidence or a suspect, the case remains open. After the arrest or citation comes the prosecution and pretrial. The prosecutor considers the evidence by the police and makes a decision whether or not to file charges against the accused. If charges are filed, the first court appearance is held. The accused will then appear in court and be informed of their charges and rights. The judge will then decide whether there is enough evidence to hold or release the accused. The judge can decide whether to hold the accused in jail or release them on
The first stage of the judicial process is a person has to commit a crime or be suspected of committing a crime. This is any violation of the law. There are crimes such as a ticket violation that do not require an arrest, but a person will just get a warning or a fine. After a crime is committed or suspected of committing a police officer will make an arrest. Arrest is physically taking someone into custody who was suspected of committing a crime. (Fradella & Neubauer, 2011). They will go through the process of being booked. Fingerprints will be taken and their photograph will be captured to place on file. This is an important part of the judicial process, because police have to make sure they follow every rule, or a case can be dismissed because
Bio-Psychologists study the principles of biology as it relates to the comprehension of psychology in the field neuroscience that underlies ones emotions, ideology, and actions (Brittanica). Based upon the conduction of research, the relationship between the brain and ones behavior extends to the physiological process in one’s intellect. Scientists are cognizant that neurotransmitters function as a significant role in mood regulation and other aspects of psychological problems including depression and anxiety. A biological perspective are relevant to psychology in three techniques including: the comparative method, physiology, and the investigation of inheritance (Saul Mc. Leod).

When arriving to the scene you would want to approach slowly. This is for safety reasons as simple as the suspect might still be in the area and it can cause you to be in great danger. You would also want to ask yourself “what crime was committed here?” and a couple of similar questions in that aspect. However, when you do
Humans can expand their knowledge to adapt the changing environment. To do that they must “learn”. Learning can be simply defined as the acquisition of knowledge or skills through study, experience, or being taught. Although learning is an easy task for most of the people, to acquire new knowledge or skills from data is too hard and complicated for machines. Moreover, the intelligence level of a machine is directly relevant to its learning capability. The study of machine learning tries to deal with this complicated task. In other words, machine learning is the branch of artificial intelligence that tries to find an answer to this question: how to make computer learn?
