1. What are security threat groups? What is their impact in local jails, and state/federal prisons? Can they be managed and if so, how?

Security Threat Groups (STGs) is the term used for inmate organizations or gangs and how they adversely impact prison security. Most STGs are racially founded with six major groups: the Aryan Brotherood, Black Guerilla Family, Mexican Mafia, La Nuestra Familia, Neta, and Texas Syndicate. Smaller street gangs with less organizational structure also exist.

STGs negatively impact corrections facilities to great extent. They cause a dramatic increase in violence with the potential to reach outside of facility and interfere with inmate rehabilitation. Many prisons have units that focus of STGs in an attempt to control STG influence and many methods have been practiced. Methods focused on changing inmate behavior rather than controlling it have been more successful. Classification systems have been developed focusing on inmate prison programming and cognitive behavioral treatment. The gathering of gang intelligence and the dissemination of this information to other law enforcement agencies and facilities have proven beneficial. Segregation of STG inmates have also helped decrease STG activity. These methods assist in decreasing prison violence, and the intelligence gathering and sharing further help develop STG intervention methods.

2. How do inmates escape from prisons? What is their motivation? Do staff help them?

Many inmates escape from prison because of lax guards. Oftentimes officers become complacent and think that because they trust an inmate that they will not try to escape. Work details that involve trustees that are allowed access to lower security areas of prisons are also high risk for escape. When prisoners are granted furloughs or transported outside of prison walls to court or medical appointments they can also become flight risks. Most inmates’ motivation for escape is freedom. Staff are often involved in helping inmates escape if there is money involved. High profile inmates often have people on the outside who orchestrate the escapes by arranging contact with the staff members and handling the payments of money, etc.

3. What are prison riots? How do they start and why do they happen? Do some research and find one example of a riot within the last 10 years. Post your research.

A riot is an action by a group of inmates that constitutes a forcible attempt to gain control of a facility or area within a facility. There are several theoretical causes of riots:

• Random chance which means there is no known cause and are unpredictable.
• Bad conditions which is mainly caused by overcrowding which leads to lack of staff, lack of programs for inmates, and also lack of funding.
• Racial antagonism leads to riots due to gang affiliations in prisons. Close proximity causes tension between gang members.
• Institutional structure and readiness meaning when authorities fail to plan and prepare if he infrastructure wears thin.
• Poor management and administration such as frequent staff turnover, inadequate training to poor communication.

The Attica Prison Riot of 1971 was known as the world’s most infamous riots. It occurred at the Attica Correctional Facility in New York. The prison was overcrowded and tensions were very high. On February 8th, a guard took two inmates away for punishment thinking they had been fighting. Rumors spread that the guards were beating the inmates causing 1,000 inmates to take over the prison and take 42 staff members hostage. The inmates held the riot to take a stand for the brutality they were receiving from the guard. Four days later, the National Guard and state police took over the prison and ultimately 10 hostages and 29 inmates were killed by friendly fire. The families of the victims received a payout due to the civil rights violation committed when the prison was being took back.

What are security threat groups? What is their impact in local jails and state/federal prisons? Can they be managed and if so, how?

STG or gangs are groups of people who have an interest to undermine the system. These groups violate various rules and left uncontrolled and not managed, their actions can lead to serious disruptions and even riots. These groups pose a serious management problem and concern for prisons. Management tools are in place to effectively manage and control security threat groups. Unfortunately, some prisons are more effective than others. The warden must set the example and step out the office and be more involved with inmates and enforcement of security policies. The staff are trained but it helps to know your leader is as willing to get it right and it helps to have an example to follow.

In this course, you have been analyzing police intelligence activities. For this final assignment, you will describe and analyze a comprehensive strategy for intelligence-led policing in a specific neighborhood or jurisdiction. This assignment requires you to be creative and inventive while also retaining your realism. You may draw from elements of your previous assignments, or design a completely new approach. It is advisable to design your strategy for the area in which your interviews were conducted.

For the purposes of this course, a strategic plan is an analytic document that communicates the basic goals of intelligence-led policing. This document specifies the precise community-focused interactions needed to achieve those goals and takes into account all the critical factors to be developed during the intelligence process.

Sample Ideas:

Use your imagination when thinking of a potential strategy. Here are a few potential ideas to get you thinking of innovative intelligence activities, but you should not limit yourself to the ideas on this list.

• How can communication problems between police officers and members of diverse racial, ethnic, religious, sexual orientation, and lifestyle groups be resolved?
• How can problems related to victims, witnesses, or families of offenders be addressed so that information will be shared?
• How can communication with the business sector be improved?
• How can law enforcement be useful in protecting the community from environmental crime, business crime, online fraud and predation, and other non-conventional crimes?
• How can law enforcement work with released offenders in the community to promote and support prosocial re-integration into the community?
• How can programs and agencies concerned with youth gangs, such as interventions, prevention, or redirection, be informed by effective intelligence?
• How can intelligence about problems related to substance abusers, the mentally ill, and homeless persons be used to promote more effective programs and treatments?

Instructions for Your Paper:

• Identify a specific community that you can readily analyze.
• Describe in brief detail the historical, social, and demographic patterns in this area. You will have to do some basic research to complete this step. Be sure to consider the significant cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic factors.
• Evaluate the crime problems in its current state and project possible future trends. In other words, what are the problem patterns and potentials?
  • Analyze these problems in terms of how they relate to families, organizations, agencies, and institutions in the community.
  • Review any community data you can locate in relevant databases, census data, and public sources from local government agencies including law enforcement, social services, and so forth.
• Assess the current level and quality of police intelligence policies, practices, and procedures in this community.
  • Use your interviews from the course assignments to develop your assessment.
  • Walk or ride the area to gain some observational impressions and provide graphic descriptions of the quality of life, level of security and safety, and general sense of the population in relation to the police. Observe any police-community interactions possible. Perhaps attend a police community meeting. Check out the local schools, community centers, businesses, corporations, retail establishments, and public agencies to assess their interaction with the police. Brief visits or phone calls can prove very informative.
• Identify strengths and weaknesses of police intelligence functions.
  • Gain a feel for the general quality of trust in the police by various elements of the community.
  • Learn how effective the police collaborate with religious groups, schools, advocacy groups, and so forth to keep their fingers on the pulse of the community.
  • How are police leaders received by community members and organizational leaders of various sorts?
• Describe the implications if the strategies do not comply with ethical and moral obligations.
• Propose an innovative strategy to enhance law enforcement intelligence functions in this area.
  • Ensure that your strategy emphasizes compliance with legal, professionally ethical, personally moral, and broad human rights requirements and criteria.
  • Demonstrate how your plan will build community trust with the police, and induce greater collaboration and information sharing across various elements and agencies in the community.
  • Discern how your proposal would be helpful in establishing priorities in the allocation of police resources to reduce the risk or likelihood of crime in the community.
• Ensure that your strategic plan has achievable and measurable objectives so that these objectives may be evaluated and modified as they are implemented. Your proposed strategy needs to be realistically constructed and must be credible, feasible, attractive, promising, and worth the effort to consider as a potentially productive and positive feature of an enhanced intelligence operation. The plan must comply with all legal, ethical, moral, and human rights requirements and criteria, and respect the civil liberties of all members of the community.
• Discuss how your proposal might be received by law enforcement and the various constituencies in the community. Propose means for overcoming expected resistance to the plan.
  • Consider how your proposal might be impacted by public opinion, the attitudes of professionals, the historical background of the crime problem in this area, and current trends.

In Addition:

• In your analysis, you must apply:
  • Concepts from your required readings.
  • Concepts from at least one peer-reviewed scientific research article from a scholarly journal in the Capella library. These sources must be quoted, cited, and referenced.
