This week, our authors describe two competing explanations for the police personality: (1) departments recruit people who already have these traits, and (2) officers develop these traits through socialization and experience.  Take a position: which explanation is more convincing, and why (thoroughly explain/justify the reasons supporting your position).Then, based on your position, propose/justify one change in department policy that would reduce harmful outcomes while preserving legitimate officer safety and effectiveness.⚠️ Reminder: This Learning Evaluation is a CLOSED-BOOK, CLOSED-NOTE, CLOSED-INTERNET.The use of any unauthorized aid is strictly prohibited.
