Diamonds in…

There is an undeniable complexity with how the public view police actions, and thus their legitimacy and authority (Harkin 2015). Tankebe (2012) identifies that legitimacy may easily be misunderstood for fear of the police and a sense of powerlessness which amounts to the public’s obedience. This obedience is understood as a result of the authority that the police maintain as a law enforcement agency. In saying that, many police officers have recongised that when force is used, their authority…
