When people discuss police misconduct, they have historically confused several types. In particular, people lump together corruption of authority and police (or professional) crime. What is the difference? What are examples of each?
What will be an ideal response?
Corruption of authority involves misuse of police power, while police crime does not involve use of the badge. The former would include accepting payoffs to ignore crime or not arrest, while the latter might include committing burglary or theft of an already vandalized store.
