I believe secondly people believe police and political corruption feed off each other, which is a known opinion by most (http://www.coha.org,2004). This means a lot of people already believe that the negative actions of an officer will over ride the positive in the entire police force. People don’t look for the positive to feed off each other but the negative. This positive can
The way police handles combating crime and brutality most attempts to redeem police image would involve education for both public and the police on the effectiveness crime control measures. The police are subject to moral temptations that can affect the way a job is done, the temptations can outweigh their paycheck this is a difficult position for any officer. The police deals with major drug dealing, gang bangers even white collar
In chapter five of Ethical Dilemmas and Decisions in Criminal Justice, Pollock states when one asks most people what the role of policing is in society, the response is some version of “catch criminals” or “fight crime”. (p.105) The majority of police officers are professional and ethical; however a small minority abuses their power. This leads to close suspicion by the public of all police. Police have great power in our society to arrest, use force and also have the power of life and death. Police have two types of perceptions of the police mission, either a crime fighter or public servant.
It holds this view as it saes that within the media there was “too little discussion of racial matters”. This could be due to it being a sensitive subject among the viewers and that they believe the views they hold are correct and that the ones they watch are unrepresentative and stereotyped. It also mentions how “to listen to some people is to believe there are no racial problems in the United Kingdom” which shows how it believes a minority view that is shown through tv programmes like Love Thy Neighbour might not give a true representation of the level of race relations and acceptance of other races. By using the sources and my own knowledge, I have come to the conclusion that since the Second World War race relations have improved due to British television. Source 13 highlights how even the young could acknowledge despite the differences in cultures white people are shown to be acceptant of other cultures in the media.

The British Crime Survey also includes crimes which are not reported to the police, therefore is an important alternative to police records and provides criminologists, the police, the courts, the media and anyone else who has an interest with the statistics, two different types of data: Firstly trends on crime over time chartered, Details are compiled from offenders who are eventually found guilty or cautioned; details gathered include sex and the age of the offender.

Harvey Jones Professor Robert Frazier CJ 420 Strategies and Crime Prevention October 21, 2014 Policing and the Fear of Crime Summary This article titled Policing, and the Fear of Crime, was mainly about the relationship between fear and crime and how it affected those who have been victims of crime. The article started off by giving examples of a nurse that was raped, a black family whose home was vandalized, and a teenager from the ghetto that is shot to death. The authors stated in the article that society would focus more on what the victims and their material losses rather than the victims fear and worry about repeated victimization. In certain cases this is true. When someone is robbed and you hear about it on the news most people specifically wait to hear what was stolen rather than how safe the victim feels after the attack.
If the only reason to pull someone over depends on his or her race, this causes a discriminatory impact. Police departments begun to review data on stops and change police officers behaviors, arguments and attitudes towards the leading of stereotype based discriminatory treatment. (Racial profiling, 2012) This researcher frowns much upon racial profiling but with surveys conducted every day on who is likely to commit a crime, and what age, and what sex, and what minority group then people tend to lean towards these surveys proving that race is a huge part of crime involvement. In conclusion, criminal profiling works as an investigative tool to help solve crimes. Criminal profiling has come a long way and still needs a lot of improvement.
In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories” as the title of the show appears. The weekly episode is on for a sixty minute time span while the viewer observes the various intertwining leads that the detectives deal with convey honor as well as righteousness to the victim. Law and Order: SVU attempts to convey those dreadful crimes along with their investigations that appear to be connected to those crimes to the diverse members of society. When we hear about crimes that have been committed on the television or we read about it in the newspaper we rely on our intuitive thinking to provide us with a mental image of what took place.
When I think of people that work for the police force; I think of people who feel they have all the power in the world or think they are super heroes. Unfortunately in the police force, it is more about the power than being a super hero. The fact that you can cross boundaries, order people around, and intimidate others. It is funny what a badge can do to someone’s mind. Authoritarianism is something very common and very well used in police forces all over out nation, and even with in the police force itself.
