Question 2

Discuss in detail all of the major points relating to the police culture.Do you think the police culture varies according to the type of policing model followed,such as community policing as opposed to zero tolerance policing? Explain your answer.

Accepted Answer

Police culture is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses the beliefs, values, attitudes, and behaviors that are shared among members of a law enforcement agency. It is often characterized by a strong sense of loyalty, solidarity, and a "brotherhood" mentality, as well as a focus on authority, discipline, and a "us versus them" mentality when it comes to dealing with the public and the criminal justice system.

One major point relating to police culture is the emphasis on loyalty and solidarity among officers. This can create a strong sense of camaraderie and support within the police force, but it can also lead to a "code of silence" and resistance to change or outside scrutiny. Additionally, the hierarchical structure of many police departments can reinforce a culture of authority and discipline, which can sometimes lead to a lack of accountability and a resistance to questioning or challenging the status quo.

Another major point is the "us versus them" mentality that can develop within police culture. This can lead to a sense of distrust and antagonism towards the public, particularly in communities that are marginalized or have a history of strained relationships with law enforcement. It can also contribute to a lack of empathy and understanding towards the experiences and perspectives of those who come into contact with the police.

In terms of the question of whether police culture varies according to the type of policing model followed, such as community policing as opposed to zero tolerance policing, the answer is yes. Different policing models emphasize different values, priorities, and approaches to law enforcement, and these differences can have a significant impact on the culture within a police department.

Community policing, for example, emphasizes building positive relationships and partnerships with the community, problem-solving, and a more proactive and preventive approach to crime. This can lead to a culture that values communication, collaboration, and empathy, and that prioritizes the well-being and safety of the community.

On the other hand, zero tolerance policing tends to prioritize strict enforcement of laws and regulations, with an emphasis on punishment and deterrence. This can lead to a culture that values authority, discipline, and a more adversarial approach to law enforcement, which can contribute to a more rigid and authoritarian police culture.

In conclusion, police culture is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses a range of beliefs, values, attitudes, and behaviors within a law enforcement agency. The type of policing model followed can have a significant impact on the culture within a police department, as different models emphasize different values and approaches to law enforcement. It is important for law enforcement agencies to be aware of and actively address the impact of police culture on their organization, and to strive for a culture that prioritizes accountability, transparency, and a commitment to serving and protecting the community.
