In your opinion, are systems such as GPS in patrol cars and body-worn cameras designed to enhance accountability or do they hold some other purpose?
GPS can provide direction, up to date traffic information that helps police to arrive the scene of a crime or emergency as soon as possible. In addition, GPS could help police officers to track criminal’s car. Nowadays, if criminals try to escape by their car, it is only a matter of time before police find criminals. On the other hand, instead of using GPS to catch criminals, police officers can be tracked by their head of police department or other police officers. This leads GPS in patrol could encourage the police to work properly since GPS in patrol could be traced if they stayed at one area …show more content…
Also, police officers gunning down a 6 year old autistic boy, and that police officer claim that a boy’s father had used his vehicle as a deadly weapon against them, the video clearly shows the father with his hands up and his SUV parked during the fatal shooting.

Why would a victimization survey produce different data than official crime statistics? Should we be concerned with the “dark figure of crime”, that is, the large percentage of crime that goes unreported?
Victimization survey produce different data than official crime statistics because people are not reporting crimes. There are several reasons why people do not report matters to police.

Since media have developed dramatically in these days, there are symbiotic and asymmetric relationship between the media and the police. Media could share an information including serious crime through Newspaper, radio or social media, then people could notice about the crime and help the police. For example, in Canada, Amber Alert is a well-known system that the police and the media work together. I think that this system is very essential to fine a missing child. Media broadcasts a child information in very detail, then people could pay attention to that information which may help police to fine the child if people see that child or looks like similar child. Similarly, the police could provide information to the media about a criminal such as he’s appearance, what crime did he committed or where did he commits the crime, so that people can be aware of the criminal. This could be very helpful because community involvement is enhanced. Citizens would become more likely to call and report crime, for example, people would start to report the drug dealer on the corner or the murder suspect who lives in the neighborhood which could be very helpful for police to catch suspects because limited number of police officers should catch suspects. Also, police could progress and improve through media. Public may have some disagreement or dissatisfaction with police. If so, people
