Essay

This chapter discussed in some detail the police prerogative to abuse power. Within that section, concerns pertinent to a lack of trust by citizens were addressed. Do you believe fear of police abusing power differs between those who have been justice-involved (e.g., arrested, pulled over, etc.) and those who have not? Why or why not? Be sure to mention how there may be a difference in the type of fear (e.g., escape vs. anticipatory fear) experienced based on whether one's encounters with police were negative or positive.
