Examples of law enforcement in the following topics:
-
- The two major methods for collecting crime data are law enforcement reports and victimization statistical surveys.
- The U.S. has no comprehensive infrastructure to monitor crime trends and report the information to related parties, such as law enforcement.
- First, they often use statistics from law enforcement organizations.
- These statistics are normally readily available and are generally reliable in terms of identifying what crime is being dealt with by law enforcement organizations, as they are gathered by law enforcement officers in the course of their duties, and are often extracted directly from law enforcement computer systems.
- Evaluate U.S. crime statistics and the various ways law enforcement officials gather them
-
- In an attempt to provide general descriptions that may facilitate the job of law enforcement officers seeking to apprehend suspects, the FBI employs the term "race" to summarize the general appearance (skin color, hair texture, eye shape, and other such easily noticed characteristics) of individuals whom they are attempting to apprehend.
- From the perspective of law enforcement officers, it is generally more important to arrive at a description that will readily suggest the general appearance of an individual than to make a scientifically valid categorization by DNA or other such means.
- Racial profiling refers to the use of an individual's race or ethnicity by law enforcement personnel as a key factor in deciding whether to engage in enforcement (e.g. make a traffic stop or arrest).
- Many consider de facto racial profiling an example of institutional racism in law enforcement.
- Paraphrase the legal definition of race and how it is used in government and law enforcement in the U.S., the U.K., and France

- Formal means of social control are generally state-determined, through the creation of laws and their enforcement.
- Formal means of social control are the means of social control exercised by the government and other organizations who use law enforcement mechanisms and sanctions such as fines and imprisonment to enact social control.
- The mechanisms utilized by the state as means of formal social control span the gamut from the death penalty to curfew laws.
- From a legal perspective, sanctions are penalties or other means of enforcement used to provide incentives for obedience with the law, or rules and regulations.
- Within the civil law context, sanctions are usually monetary fines.

- The Arizona immigration law directs law enforcement officials to ask for immigration papers on a reasonable suspicion that a person might be an illegal immigrant.
- On July 6, 2010, the US Department of Justice filed suit against Arizona with the intent of preventing the state from enforcing the law and asks the court to find certain sections of the legislation null and void.
- They also focus on problems arising out of the recent increase in immigration law enforcement without a commensurate boost in resources for adjudication.
-
- Proponents of greater immigration enforcement argue that illegal immigrants cost taxpayers an estimated $338.3 billion dollars and jeopardize the safety of law enforcement officials and citizens, especially along the Mexican border.
- Citing Congress' failure to enforce U.S. immigration laws, the state of Arizona confronted reform and on April, 23, 2010 Republican Governor Jan Brewer signed the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act, the broadest and strictest immigration reform imposed in the United States.
- The Arizona immigration law directs law enforcement officials to ask for immigration papers on a reasonable suspicion that a person might be an illegal immigrant and make arrests for not carrying ID papers.

-
- A contract is a legally enforceable agreement, and government encourages private-voluntary associations chiefly through laws regarding contracts.
- Of course, not all private agreements are enforceable.
- But the fact that some agreements are legally enforceable increases our options, as Gordon Tullock explains (Gordon Tullock, ,The Logic of the Law, N.Y.: Basic Books: 1971, p. 36). :
- It is clear that situations in which making such an enforceable promise is desirable are fairly frequent.
- Government not only makes enforceable agreements possible but it provides neutral judges to resolve disputes about such agreements.
-
- We will therefore stipulate that the word law will be used only to refer to the first meaning: a general rule of action enforceable by sanctions.
- The two key elements in distinguishing laws, pseudolaws, and by-laws are generality and sanctions.
- If there is not, then the rule is a by-law, which is "enforced" by withdrawn or denied inducements rather than by sanctions.
- If there is a sanction, however, we must still ascertain whether the rule is a law or a pseudo law, and this is where we must consider generality.
- (Any law prohibiting such actions and enforced by sanctions would clearly violate the First Amendment; the Supreme Court, however, has twice upheld the Hatch Act, which is enforced by withdrawn inducements. ) Under the Philadelphia Plan the federal government contracts only with private construction firms that agree to hire at least a certain percentage of minority employees.

- Wilson uses tariff, currency and anti-trust laws to prime the pump and get the economy working in a 1913 political cartoon.
-
- The primary sources of American Law are: constitutional law, statutory law, treaties, administrative regulations, and the common law.
- These sources are constitutional law, statutory law, treaties, administrative regulations, and the common law.
- Thus, most U.S. law consists primarily of state law, which can and does vary greatly from one state to the next.
- However, under the principle of stare decisis, no sensible lower court will enforce an unconstitutional statute, and the Supreme Court will reverse any court that does so.
- Conversely, any court that refuses to enforce a constitutional statute (where such constitutionality has been expressly established in prior cases) will risk reversal by the Supreme Court.
