Homework
Length: 1200 words.
We discussed police corruption and the impact it has on our society. We read in Chapter 7- "Police Corruption & Responses" and Chapter 8- "Law & Legal Professionals." The following week's "Complete" homework will reflect material covered in the aforementioned chapters.
For your homework, write a narrative essay (minimum 1,200 words) in which you address and discuss the question(s) and statement(s) listed below. Use at least three scholarly sources and remember to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the READ and ATTEND sections in your essay.
There is an officer in your division known as a "rat" because he testified against his partner in a criminal trial and a civil suit. The partner evidently hit a handcuffed suspect in the head several times in anger, and the man sustained brain injuries and is now a paraplegic. Although none of the officers you know supports the excessive use of force, they are also appalled that this officer did not back up his partner's testimony that the suspect continued to struggle, in an attempt to justify his use of force. After all, punishing the officer wasn't going to make the victim any better. Now no one will ride with this guy, and no one responds to his calls for backup. There have been incidents such as a dead rat being placed in his locker, and the extra uniform in his locker was set on fire. One day you are parking your car and see your buddies in the employee parking lot moving away from his car; they admit they just slashed his tires. Each officer is being called into the captain's office to state whether he or she knows anything about this latest incident. Your turn is coming.
o What are you going to do?
o If you were a police supervisor in this division, how mitigate an incident like this from happening again?
