The media is perfect for reporting the worst incidents that happen. One study demonstrated that "Citizens’ attitudes toward the police are affected by the news publicity of a high profile trial of police misconduct" (Chermak). With what was demonstrated in the study, it makes sense that citizens’ attitudes change if the media only reports on police brutality instead of showing a policeman doing good deeds, why? It is seen as a policemen’s duty to be a model citizen, doing right by the law. Once they make a decision based on their judgment and people do not agree; they are seen as incompetent. A policeman doing good actions are going to change people’s perspective on the negative image that the media are trying to show. “Although many studies have found that teenagers are less satisfied with the police than adults.”(Chermak). Their family, friends, and the media easily influence teenager’s mindsets. Teenagers are known to be rebels and want everything their way and with the police giving orders, most teenagers think the police are their worst
