The article “Police Brutality” written by Ed. Jill Nelson throws light on discrimination and brutal behavior of police in USA against Black people.

Apparently, there is no reason to stop the car because it’s condition is very good but racial discrimination force cops to stop the car. Above all, instead of asking John to come out of the car police officer pulls…
When conducting his sociological study on police, Westley faced several difficulties getting the police to cooperate. Most of the time the police officers ignored Westley and refused to talk to him, nonetheless sit down to have an interview with him. On one occasion Westley observed a patrol sergeant come into the precinct and spout off delightment with himself stating he had just helped a woman with carrying her packages to her car. Upon further analysis of officers’ field notes, Westley noticed that there were a series of miniature incidents where the officers expressed an excessive amount of pleasure in aiding someone. Westley quickly rationalized that these expressions of pleasure and delightment from police personnel was due to the fact…

Ethical issues in policing reach back to the early ages of law enforcement. The profession of policing plays a vital role in the rationale and motivation of how officers conduct themselves while on and off duty. This is a primary focus point of the society in which they work, due to the society’s level of trust and confidence in the officers to act accordingly and responsibly without any negative person vengeances or vendetta. As a result of the numerous negative encounters of officers interacting with the public, which has been mainstreamed by the media, there is a heightened sense of entitlement and false responsibility of citizens to report to higher authorities or the media when they do not get whatever it is that they want or receive the…

However this topic did change the way how I look at police officers today. Growing up I was taught that whenever there is an emergency that the police men were the ones who everyone can depend on. They help serve and protect the communities to make them a better place, almost like a super hero. Schools failed to not educate the younger generation on police brutality. Back when I was in high school I’d question what I was taught about police and my safety. Can I really trust police or not? The purpose for this essay was to choose a feature or theme present in Between the World and Me and write a literary analysis that discusses the text in terms of that feature or major theme and so I decided to choose police…

One of the major problems that police deal with is bias-based policing. Bias-based policing is best described as practices that police intentionally use based on ethnicity, gender, religion, age, and sexual orientation. It also includes racial profiling (p.31). In my opinion, this problem will always be around, because there will always be at least one bad police officer. In order for us to minimize this problem, police officers should interact with the people in the community more. If the police made relationships with people of all races, it would make it easier for the community to trust law…

To see what an officer sees every day patrolling the streets turns them numb to showing kindness and not taking a chance that the average citizen can be innocent. It is guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of the law and not the other way around for police officers. This is the daily grind for officers who leave the training academy bright eyed and with their oath of office still memorized only to report for duty and realize it is not the same world as before becoming an officer. Officers deal with stresses unparalleled to the average person (Welsh,…
Throughout the history of the United States, the ranks of police officers have been dominated by white males. As a result, the underrepresentation of minorities and women has long been a problem in policing. Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act made discriminating against any individual based upon their color, sex, religion or national origin illegal, thus paving the way for more minorities and women to become police officers. Before the implementation and enforcement of these acts, it was extremely difficult for minorities and women to get a job in policing. Experts in the field of law enforcement maintain that diversity in…
Crimes of hatred date back as far in history as ancient civilizations. A crime of hate occurs when wrong-doing is done to a particular group of people. Hate crime is a form of prejudice that can be directed as groups of individuals based on religious preference, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any other defining characteristic. When two different groups come in contact with one another, the possibility of conflict or tension can happen. In recent decades, America fell to hate crimes when African Americans were lynched and synagogues were vandalized. In current times, the most targeted group of victimization are homosexual men and women. Teenagers have seen the most hatred when bullies out or taunt them in school because of his or her sexuality.…
