ESSAY
1. Describe how the role of police is of concern to the public.
ANS: The experiences of becoming a police officer and the nature of the job cause most officers
to band together in a police subculture, characterized by cynicism, clannishness, secrecy, and
insulation from others in society. This is the so-called “blue curtain.” Membership in police
culture helps recruits adjust to rigors of police work and provides the emotional support needed
for survival. The police subculture has developed in response to the insulated, dangerous lifestyle
of police officers. Despite the subculture and the “blue curtain” a heterogeneous police force can
be instrumental in gaining the confidence of the community by helping dispel the view that
police departments are generally bigoted or biased organizations.
2. Explain the changes that have occurred in the hiring of minority and female officers. What are
some of the problems experienced by these two groups of officers?
ANS: Experiences of African American officers have not been easy because they suffer from
double marginality.
Minority police officers now seem more aggressive and self-assured, and less willing to
accept any discriminatory practices by the police department. For more than half a century,
females endured separate criteria for selection, were assigned menial tasks, and were denied the
opportunity for advancement. Studies show that women are still struggling for acceptance and
believe they do not receive credit for their job performance. Despite these issues, the future of
women in policing continues to grow bright
3. Using a juvenile assault as an example, compare and contrast the four major styles of police
work. Explain how these styles influence police discretion.
ANS: To the Crime Fighter the most important aspects of police work are to investigate and
apprehend criminals, therefore he/she would focus on ensuring that the perpetrator of the
juvenile assault is found and arrested. The Social Agent views his style within the police
department as a community problem solver and may encourage the perpetrator and the victim of
the juvenile assault to come to an understanding of why the crime occurred and work to ensure
that the actions aren’t repeated in the future. The Law Enforcer attempts to “play it by the book”
where they practice generalized law enforcement. In regard to a juvenile assault, the law enforcer
would prefer not to deal with a small scale altercation between two youths as they seek prestige
and status in enforcing all statutes, laws and ordinances.
4. Identify and describe the different factors that commonly influence an officer's use of discretion.
140
Chapter 6: Issues in Policing: Professional, Social and Legal
• Legal factors when discretion is inversely related to the severity of the offense
• Environmental factors including the degree of discretion an officer will exercise being at
least partially defined by the officer’s living and working environment.
5. Identify and describe the distinct categories of stressors that impact police officers.
ANS: There are several stressors that impact police officers. They include; 24 hour duty, poor
training, and department politics as well as job dissatisfaction, substandard equipment,
inadequate pay, lack of opportunity, role conflict, exposure to brutality, and fears about
incompetence, success, and safety.
6. Identify and describe the factors that have been related to police shootings.
ANS: Factors related to police shootings include: exposure to violence, national crime rates,
community threat levels, and administrative factors. Internal review and policymaking by police
administrative review boards attempts to control police shootings
7. Compare and contrast the "fleeing felon" and Tennessee v. Garner rules as they relate to police
use of deadly force.
ANS: In the case of Tennessee v. Garner, the Court ruled that use of deadly force against
apparently unarmed and non-dangerous fleeing felons is an illegal seizure of their person under
the Fourth Amendment. Deadly force may not be used unless it is necessary to prevent the
escape and the officer has probable cause to believe the suspect poses a significant threat of
death or serious injury to the officer or others.
8. Discuss the various types of police corruption. What causes such behavior? How can it be
controlled?
ANS: There are various forms of abuse of power. The Knapp Commission has classified abusers
into Meat Eaters who aggressively seek out opportunities to abuse their power and Grass Eater
who accept pay-off’s when their duties put them in a compromising position. One view attempts
to explain corruption and abuse of power from a financial standpoint as many police seek to and
cannot achieve the coveted middle-class lifestyle. Additional views explain the propensity
through the wide discretion that police enjoy as well as societies ambivalence toward many
forms of vice-related criminal behavior that police officer are sworn to control. One approach to
controlling misconduct is to strengthen the internal administrative review process as well as a
more stringent accountability system.

9. The Supreme Court has used case law to define the boundaries of the Miranda warning since its
inception. Discuss recent case law which appears to have narrowed the scope of Miranda.
ANS: The Miranda warning is a requirement that police officers inform suspects subjected to
custodial interrogation that they have a constitutional right to remain silent. If the defendant is
not given the Miranda warning before investigation, the evidence obtained from the interrogation
cannot be admitted at trial.
In Berguis v. Thompkins 2010 unless a suspect asserts his/her Miranda rights, any
subsequent voluntary statements given after the warnings are admissible in court.
In Florida v. Powell 2010 The Miranda warnings do not require that the suspect be
advised that he or she has the right to have an attorney present during questioning.
In Maryland v. Shatzer 2010 Miranda protections do not apply if a suspect is released
from police custody for at least 14 days and then questioned.
10. The most controversial issue revolving around the Court's control of police behavior is what is
commonly known as the exclusionary rule. Summarize the basics of this rule and discuss its
current status and controversy.
ANS: The exclusionary rule provides that evidence obtained by unreasonable searches and
seizures is inadmissible in criminal trials and also excludes use of illegal confessions under the
Fifth Amendment. This rule was established in 1914 by the US Supreme court in Weeks v. US.
Currently, when the rule applies, valuable evidence may not be usable at trial because police
made an error or failed to obtain a proper warrant. It may also result in excessive court delays
and negatively affect plea-bargaining.
