Assignment task:
Developing Trust in the Community
In recent years, there have been many cities roiled by officer-involved shootings of minorities. The communities of several cities have led to demonstrations in the streets and debates in the classroom.
These cities distrust their public safety organizations and require a change.
Find a recent news story that demonstrates how a community has come to distrust a public safety agency, or use one of these events:
- Corrections: New York Prison Escape: How It Happened, and How it Ended
- Probation/Parole: Chief Judge Mum on Completed Inquiry Into Cook County Probation Agency
- Law Enforcement: Task Force Finds Chicago Police Department Plagued by Racism
You can select any public safety agency that has an ethical issue. Supply a link to the news story, and answer these questions in your initial post:
- What practices or events led to the community's distrust?
- What policy or practices should have been in place to prevent the events that led to community distrust?
Use the textbook readings and module resources to inform your post in the discussion.
