Explain how ethical breaches committed by police officers undermine public confidence in law enforcement?
What will be an ideal response?
• Some police officers feel entitled to the fruits of corruption because they have an "us vs. them" attitude about the public as a result of police socialization.
• This curtain separates the police from the citizens and may be detrimental in the performance of their duties and in interactions with citizens.
• When police corruption is known by the public citizens lose trust in the police and generalize that mistrust about all officers, not just those involved in corruption.
• The public then does not feel comfortable going to the police for support in various criminal activities because they view them as corrupt.
