Explain the types of control that police have at their disposal.

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Authority is the unquestionable entitlement to be obeyed that comes with certain roles, such as police officer. We do what they tell us because of their uniform. Power is also inherent in the role but implies that force will be used against resistance. Persuasion uses signs, symbols, words, and arguments (and possibly deception) to induce action. Force is the use of physical coercion to subdue the will of the individual.
