This paper is over the book Proactive Policing-chapters 7 and 8. Chapter 7 covers a topic that has been at the forefront of the media’s and public’s attention since the Ferguson incident. What does the research say in regard to the issue of police and race? How does this differ from the commonly held beliefs that are found in the media’s attention to this issue? Chapter 8 is a conclusionary chapter. Based on your reading and understanding of the research available to date on policing, what do we know and what should we know, and how should we be changing the police based on the research. Again, always go back to what the research says in your essay. Avoid the use of rhetorical questions in your papers, as they are not a professional form of writing and should be avoided. Focus on what the readings had to say, and less on public sentiment toward the police.
