Better communication with the public especially minority and ethnic groups is a benefit of higher education. Preform more effectively, better writing, generate fewer citizen complaints, and better decision makers. African american experience: 1861, want to be respected by white colleagues, dislike disrespect from own kind, and feel as protectors of their own. Double marginality: according to nicholas alex, the social burden that african american police officers carry by being both minority group members and law enforcement officers. Had to prove a lack of bias by being harsh to them. Minority police officers now seem more aggressive, more self assured, and less willing to accept any discriminatory practices by the police department. White officers are more likely to appreciate the contribution of minority officers.
