Explain the problems associated with dual promotion lists
What will be an ideal response?
Until the mid-1980s nearly all of those promoted were white males. Many police departments at this time adopted dual promotion lists, or separate promotional instruments for white male officers and all other officers. These lists helped women and minorities be promoted, often for the first time, but it negatively affected their levels of integration with the other police officers. These lists generated tension in police departments. The white male and female officers felt resentment toward officers of racial minorities, feeling that they received advancement only because of a court-mandated policy rather than merit. Alternatively, black officers felt that the promotional exams were culturally biased and that was why black officers received lower exam scores. The cultural bias of promotional exams continues to be a contentious issue.

Police suspected that Peter Scotson had a role in the disappearance of his former wife and wanted to question him concerning the matter
Peter Scotson's parole officer discovered a parole violation, arrested Peter Scotson and removed him to a local jail. Police told him that he was a suspect in the disappearance of his ex-wife. Due to his previous experience with law enforcement, Peter Scotson refused to talk with police after receiving his Miranda warnings and demanded to speak with an attorney. Police desperately wanted to talk to Peter Scotson about the disappearance of his ex-wife. Under these circumstances where Peter Scotson has been given the proper warnings under Miranda, and clearly indicated a desire to speak with an attorney prior to questioning, A) he cannot waive his rights under Miranda until he has spoken with his attorney. B) he may not be questioned on any aspect of the ex-wife's disappearance, unless Peter Scotson clearly indicates that he has changed his mind about an attorney and wants to waive his rights and wishes to speak. C) police may interrogate him only about his reasons for seeking advice of counsel and not about the disappearance of his ex-wife. D) he may be questioned concerning separate criminal activities in which he may be involved but not on facts relating to the disappearance of his ex-wife. E) he may not be questioned about the merits of his ex-wife's disappearance, but law enforcement officials may attempt to convince him that they may believe that he is a guilty person unless he will waive his rights under Miranda and talk to them.
