Teens v.s. Police

4/28/08

As i have come to a greater search in my topic more information is getting me closer to my answer. Police and teens don't get alone for sereval reasons i hhave just discovered. Police think because of where you hang out or where you live plays a role in how you act. In some cases it does but you can't speak for everybody. Studies show that police also think that teens that dress a special way all act the some. They need to realize that all people are not the same and we are all different and dont act the same. We have many different qualities on each other. Teens play a role in the relationship between cops and teens because we speaking for my peers and my expiences we think all cops are pigs and out just to mess with us just of what we have on or what color skin we are basic sterotypes. One pesonal expience with the cops and I is when i was driving to the mall and the cop pulled me over because he thought i fit a discuption of someone who does look like me at all and was hassarhing me for no reason at all . But all this can be changed and needs to be. The relationship has to grow greater for everything to be okay.

Research On Law Enforcement

I have come to find more and more information about bad law enforcement. Studys show that majority of police do actually believe the sterotype that all teens are no good and that think we can never change. But this a little bit small numbers who wanna see teens strighten up and suceed in life. Studies also show that teens are more likely to show no respect to police office after having wrong encounters with them . As the research continues i have found that the teen population also don't respect law enforcement or officers because they don't return it. I also have interview as part as my research teens have seen, heard , and even encounter bad things that cops have done for examples police harshing a friend for the type of clothing he was wearing or them (cops) always think all teens are the same.

Wrong Doings Of Police

4/15/08

I first heard about bad law enforcement was growing up with the Rodney King situtation. Then I also see my first encounter with police is when they took my father to jail and he didn't do anything . I was sad and was interested in knowing what went wrong that day and what law he broke and how he did it. I rarely knew anything about laws and law enforcement. When I start looking up information I always wanted to ask my father what he did and why did he go t jail. He told me no reason at all.
I was so attached to this topic. I also hear things about what's happens or what's going to happen if I do this the wrong way. I already know what consequences can occur when doing something bad or breaking the law. Also me seeing all my friends and peers being harassed by cops and officers made me want to learn more about the right rules and laws. I always see cops pulling over young males because they think their up to something both white & black. For example they would search you just because of you having something luxury (cars & jewelry)
I begin to wonder about can they do this? Is this really legal? Can they continue to mess with the youth if nothing is done wrong. But in the outcome police always come out on top in some cases. They even plant stuff on people and say it just to take them to jail. But don't get me wrong their are some good cops out ther. The ones that really care about your saftey and do there job the right way and don't mess with young males because of stereotypes and think we are all bad. They believe that there are some good kids out there in the world.
Questions I have and would like to fing the answers to as I learn more about the law enforcement is how do police feel about protecting other people ? Are they in it for the pay checks and benefits or are some of them really doing there jobs? Why are there so many of them that don't care? Why did they give up on are generation? How can there not be any more wrong doing cops ? Keep the good ones. Why do some cops believe in stereotypes and take them to serious? Also how can we better their relationship with young males? How do they feel about teenagers? All these questions I would like to find the truthful answer to.
