Initial Post must always incorporate citation/resource from your research; ALL Posts should advance a critical examination of the Weekly topic(s).

Due Thursday

The advent of cell phone cameras and the rise of social media has made it possible for anyone to share police encounters and for those encounters to be distributed across all media platforms, sometimes resulting in skewed perceptions. This trend, and the resulting public attention, has sometimes led to negative public perception of the criminal justice community and emotional responses against police officers. Some of these emotionally charged reactions have resulted in police officers being injured or killed.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

From a professional standpoint, consider what would be ideal solutions to alleviate violence against police officers.

  • Should those who commit violence against officers be held to higher than normal criminal charges for their actions?
  • Do you believe that the media overemphasizes the issue of violence committed by and towards police officers to enhance ratings? If so, how?
  • Do you think that reforming policing policy would lessen the current emotional tension felt against the criminal justice community?

 

What other current challenges to policing can be noted through the rise in modern social media?

Due Monday
