order maintenance role, they handle crime by tying to prevent before it happens. This role is a lot about peace, they want to keep peace like the crime-fighting role, but in the end, they don’t want to battle to be rewarded that peace. The police role has more focus on terrorism since 9/11. I don’t want to say that terrorism was not an issue in America before 9/11, but it was for sure not focused on as much as it now. Especially…
