Law Enforcement: An Introduction to Police in Society. Boston: Allyn and Bacon, 1992. 171-192. Print. This section of the book basically says that despite the myths about police officers, they are normal people who do not all enforce the law in a standardized way, yet neither do they enforce the law solely based off their feelings. There are many influences on police officers as they work in the middle using discretion. Since all officers in a department are trained together and work together in a very unique environment they develop a specific culture, distinct police personalities and styles of policing. This source shows that police are real people and that there is no exact way to do their job. This is relevant for me because it helps explain why police are the way they are while on the job. This in turn will have some effects on the way police are viewed by the public. The police have reasons for why they do what they do that might not be apparent to the public. The public still formulates views on the police despite not understanding the full reasoning behind their actions. This source is reputable because it was found in the library collection of UNCC. Bruce Berg is a highly recognized academic in the study of the field of Criminal Justice who received a PhD from Syracuse and worked at many universities. He also achieved tenure at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Garmire, Bernard, Jesse Rubin, and James Wilson. The Police and the Community. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1972. 25-28. Print. These pages speak of the struggles police officers face while trying to do the community service aspects of their job. There are usually no obvious rewards for excelling at community. Also police officers believe that the community cares little about their attempts at service. They feel that they are regarded as the enemy. Several examples are then cited. One situation was when a white officer helped deliver a baby in a ghetto neighborhood and then as he was leaving other tenants threw bricks at him. Another situation was when an officer tried to make friendly contact in a store and the owner was rude and wanted him out because cops mean trouble. The same owner who if he was being robbed would want the police there could not stand having a cop in his store for no reason. Officers lack much social service training and rarely feel as if they can solve those situations, which makes it tougher for them to excel some in community situations.

Stephen Bolton English 1102 Rebecca Agosta 10/28/13 This is a good source for my project because it talks about the feelings of the community towards the police and how the police feel about this. It talks about the problems police face while trying to serve and gives some of the underlying causes. These pages talk about the communities hostility towards the police. It will help give more legitimacy to my research because it shows other examples beyond just my interview. Once again this source was found in UNCCs library collection. It was written by critically acclaimed and nationally recognized authors. These pages also cite a study of a big citys police department (Miami). Gee, James. "Identity as an Analytic Lens for Research in Education." Review of Research in Education. 25. (2000-2001): 99-125. Web. 28 Oct. 2013. The main information I am using from this source is Gees four ways to use identity. These include Nature, Institution, Discourse, and Affinity. Nature identities are developed from forces in nature. Institution identities are given by people with authority in institutions. Discourse identities come from interactions with others. Affinity identities are established by the groups that you associate with. This is a relevant source for me because of the identities that police officers have. Police officers have specific labels from institutions because of the nature of their occupation. They have discourse identities because of how they are viewed in the community. They also have affinity identities because they most often associate with other police officers. This is a credible source because it was provided for me by my college professor. Gee is also a well-known researcher who holds positions at several institutions. McDowell, Charles. Police in the Community. Cincinnati: The W. H. Anderson Company, 1975. 39-57. Print. These pages highlight the roles of police officers. One of the biggest things they do is law enforcement. They are trained to take care of violent individuals. They also engage in preventative patrol. Another role they do is peacekeeping and public service. When officers are put into this role they are sometimes unprepared for the tasks that they must do and other non-police agencies might be better choices in certain situations. This is a good source for my research because it talks about the roles that police officers are expected to fulfill. When these expectations are not met people in the community

Stephen Bolton English 1102 Rebecca Agosta 10/28/13 may become upset and feel slighted by the police. These pages discuss the different things an officer may deal with while on the job. One possible problem with this source is it was written in 1975. Some of the information may be outdated and in need of an update. This source was also found in UNCCs collection of books. Charles P. McDowell is a published author in the field of Criminal Justice.
