Your sixth paper will be on sociology of policing. Specifically, is there a unique police subculture? Is there a set of behaviors among police officers that is fundamentally different from that of other occupations? Students shall research police subculture and identify whether a distinct subculture exists among police officers. What are some of the pros and cons for a police subculture? Do other occupations (e.g., nurses, educators) have a similar subculture? Explain how you see the police subculture impacting a career in the criminal justice field.
