Description

touched on the difficult issues surrounding police misconduct.

  • What are the factors that lead the police to use brutal force against criminals under their charge? Are there aspects of the police subculture that cause them to commit brutal acts against suspects?
  • In other courses, you have studied the “positive” school of criminology. The positive philosophy states that criminals commit crimes as a result of factors out of their control, such as addiction, unemployment, a bad upbringing, etc. Can “positive” factors also be applied to incidents of police misconduct? Explain your reasoning.
  • Do you think the police selection and employment process requires changes? How would a more culturally dynamic workforce be beneficial to police work?
  • The Rodney King case demonstrated the concept of dual sovereignty. Is dual sovereignty an effective way for government to correct a mistake when a jury gets it wrong, or does it seem like a violation of double jeopardy? Explain your reasoning.
