Topic > Police Corruption in the Police Force - 1350

Corruption seems to be a recurring topic relating to the police force. Police corruption is a universal problem involving illegal practices among police personnel. The real concern is the basic code blue that some police officers live by. This code helps hide various forms of misconduct, corruption and illegal activities within the police force. In some cases the misconduct is as serious as police brutality or something as small as inappropriate flirting in the workplace. According to criminology authors, deviant behavior is an illicit activity that manifests itself within individual officials. Misconduct activities are usually committed by individuals usually with a weak moral weakness, which can also be a sign of a personality defect. Police officers have inherent personality characteristics when they enter law enforcement, which predetermines whether they will have "good" or "bad" police traits. All officers before entering service have their own distinctive traits developed throughout their lives. These traits are developed by family, friends, social context and other psychological factors. From reading it was deduced that many officers feel noble. These officers, regardless of the circumstances, think they are doing the right thing. When they behave unnecessarily violently or even commit brutality, they think they are making the world a better place, in some sense. This could also be considered a form of hero complex, which is the desire to help others. Conscientious police officers regularly violate the laws they are enforcing. The issue can become complex, because offices have difficulty distinguishing what is appropriate or not. For example, the use of an "illegal" amount of force to contain a dangerous crime... half of paper... stress was justified throughout the course of the officer's career. Setting standards and adhering to them will help curb police officer misconduct. Officers who come forward with information about misconduct should not face any consequences. These offices are doing what is necessary to keep misconduct not only to a minimum, but also out of the policing profession. Another solution is the investigation process. Due to budgetary restrictions, minimal investigations are conducted. This means that normally only a handful of officers are identified. It will not be an easy task, but there has been a call from some to allow state or federal police stations to support the necessary investigations. This will help the police reduce deviance and corruption and warn other officers.
