Police Force - Conduct research on a police officer convicted

Police Force

Conduct research on a police officer convicted by a jury of excessive use of force. An example would be Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke and the killing of Laquan McDonald; however, please do not use this example for your assignment.

Once you have selected the specific case, address the information below.

•  An introduction that discusses the expectation of behavior in the criminal justice system. Include an overview of the police officer's use of force in this incident.

What theoretical explanation can you apply to the actions of the officer and the victim? 

• Were there any decision-making points within the criminal justice system that were used to determine discrimination?

• Discuss how you see multiculturalism and diversity (e.g., race, religion, ethnicity) within a society influencing offender punishment.
