Reading Assignment 4 The major reason for returning to school to complete my degree was based on not taking my memory for granted. I find that my memory has changed, not recalling names was the most frustrating, since I was never good with that anyway.

Many historical events from past and today’s society has greatly influenced my perspective on law enforcement and race. I believe, that in today’s society this topic has increased in popularity.

So a question arises should we have eyewitnesses be a part of cases in court or should we get rid of eyewitnesses because of what we know about memory. I personally believe that we should let eyewitness testimonies count because that is a very strong factor in a case.…
Policing involves dangerous work and the potential of physical injury sustained. The culture supports an image of masculinity and the dominant image of a police officer to be sovereign, brave and strong. Officers are expected to exert extensive effort to demonstrate certain attributes to prove they’re capable enough to handle tough situations that can place them in cynical situations.
