Ecological Footprint: Everything we do on this planet leaves a mark. An ecological footprint is the degree of human impact on our ecosystems. Americans are at the top of the list for their detrimental footprints on our ever increasing fragile planet. Take the quiz on the following website: Ecological Footprint Calculator. Share with the class your results. How does your personal footprint compare to others in America or others around the world? Do you personally do things which should help to lessen your footprint? Have you within recent years changed your habits or actions to help the planet? Do you think that global warming and destruction of our planet is really severe or do you think it is all public hype? Are the Earth’s forests disappearing? Does it matter if they are? Is there any hope for our planet? What are your suggestions or concerns? List at least one source from your research.

1. Several law enforcement agencies have been sued for a “pattern or practice†of abusing the rights of citizens. Some of these lawsuits have been resolved with a consent decree in which the department agrees to make a series of reforms to improve its accountability.
Find one such consent decree. Hint: Some of the law enforcement agencies that acquired consent decrees are the Pittsburgh Police Department, the New Jersey State Police, and the Los Angeles Police Department. You can also check the website of the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice for the names of other law enforcement agencies.
Study the consent decree you have found and discuss the following:
- What changes must the department make to improve its accountability? Do you think that these changes will improve the department’s accountability? What does this consent decree say about the department before the suit? What would have helped the department to ensure its accountability before the suit?
In your response, please discuss any additional measures that you can think could improve transparency and accountability in law enforcement. In your discussion, make sure to refer to your textbook and include any applicable information on:
- Internal mechanisms of accountability (e.g., supervision of patrol officers, roles of sergeants)
- Internal Affairs
- Early intervention systems (e.g., responding to officers with performance problems)
- Risk management and police legal advisors
- Accreditation for law enforcement agencies
- External mechanisms of accountability
- Controlling Use of Force and Confronting the Police Officer Subculture
- Citizen Oversight of the Police
2. Over the last couple of years, particularly after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody in May 2020, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have introduced legislation addressing some aspect of policing policy, largely focused on accountability and oversight. Please take some time to research and read about the different bill proposals on police accountability and other law enforcement reform plans. Select one of these bills and briefly share with the class what the bill is about and your perspective on the bill. For instance, is this a bill that you would like to see enacted on your state? Why?

2. Ethical Conundrums and How We Ought to Solve Them
Think of an ethical debate currently going on today. It can be anything that interests you – for example, the morality of the death penalty, the ethics of climate action, etc. Discuss this issue in the context of: virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism. Explain each of these positions, the strengths/weaknesses of each view, and how each theory might help us solve the ethical problem you are discussing in your paper. Which moral theory is best equipped to solve the problem and why? Do you think you have an absolute answer to the moral questions raised by your situation? Why/why not? What does this mean about ethics more generally? Can we hope to have an ethical theory that give us answers 100% of the time or not?
**Note: be sure to link to any news articles or stories that help explain the ethical conundrum you are addressing.

Chose one case study, they are below. Your analysis should be 4-9 pages of double-spaced text in Times New Roman Font, size 12 point (no smaller, no larger). Case Study #1. Military Couple
Use at least 3 concepts and terms from these chapters: Chapter 1, 4, 7, 8, 13, 18[4th ed.].
Bob & Gloria are married and are both in the Military. They have both been deployed to separate areas (Iraq and Afghanistan) over the last 3 years. Their Family Care Plan meets military requirements because they have left their 2 children, a son now 12 and a daughter now 8 with Gloria’s aging parents. Gloria’s mother is a long-term stay at home wife and her husband is still in the workforce but near retirement. The children have seen their parents off & on for brief periods between their deployments the past 3 years. They have both been acting out at home and at school, in spite of the fact that they are both usually easy going, polite children.
Bob and Gloria are currently having relationship problems, even talking of divorce via their latest Skype and telephone sessions. There has been recent bickering between them & Gloria’s parents due to not knowing who should set the rules while they are gone & due to not knowing what the Grandparents should do to cope with the children’s problems.
Bob and Gloria have both shown symptoms of PTSD, have both seemed depressed, and emotionally absent from their children and parents when they come home. This is because they are often facing re-integration challenges that military families face when parents are gone for prolonged periods of time to combat zones. They are also faced with the stress of trying to re-take their roles as parents while dealing with the challenges of their children’s emotional outbursts at home and school which do not subside when they return from the field.
