Identify three outcomes that are possible when a law enforcement problem arises
What will be an ideal response?
One possible outcome is that the problem is confronted and solved by the police. This creates
the impression that the police will perform as well in the future and contributes to the view that police
should be called regarding certain activities because they have the ability to do so. It contributes to a
favorable view of police activity. Another possible outcome regarding a problem faced by the police is
that the problem is confronted and not solved. The failure to solve the problem could be due to a
number of complex factors out of the control of the officer but perhaps not recognized by the citizen.
However, the failure of the police to solve the problem leads to a negative view of police capability. A
third possible outcome is that the problem is confronted but the police officer believes it is the
responsibility of someone else perhaps a different public official to solve the problem. Two examples
cited in the text where this outcome may come about are trash removal and light maintenance.
