police and community relations-conclusion

When officers engage in police brutality, they are disrespecting the people they are hired to protect. Officers seem to have forgotten that they are civil servants and the public is their boss. as their boss, citizens will not tolerate the wrongful beating of members of the community. i cannot stress the fact that the police need the community help and the community needs the police help. when police brutality occurs, "public distrust of the police my be reduce the ability of the police to control citizens who are dissatisfied with the police, are less likely to control them or provide officers with information about criminal activity. This is important because it indicates that fear of crime lowers evaluation. Thus, it is conceivable that regulate perception of the police contribute to a cycle of reduced police effectiveness, increased crime and further distrust of the police"(Brown). In order for there to peace between the police and the community officers involve in police brutality must face punishment for their actions. citizens deserve justice, when justice in not given, the entire Judaical system is tainted in the eyes of the community.
