Document Summary

Research has shown that you are more likely to be charged or arrested by the police if you are defiant, disrespectful, sarcastic, abusive, or appear to know more than they do. A lot of police violence occurs at the police station, not in the field. Police violence is more likely to occur if there are more officers around. Researchers studied policeman to see if they did the following: use of profane or abusive language, stopping and questioning people on the street, searching cars, and threatening to use force. Deadly force may be used if necessary. Victim characteristics (attitudes, race, armed or unarmed) Police presence - increasing or decreasing the number of patrols does not have an effect on crime rates.
