A method used to strengthen and protect their power simultaneously, utilizes two of the available resources now and their control. The first is the legislature. Although misguided, many minority groups have been stereotyped, particularly as it relates to crime. In an effort to control minority groups laws are created and enforced. These laws are targeted to limit the conduct of the subordinate group. Consequently, when these laws are imposed, it becomes possible that minorities …show more content…
When these types of situations arise, it is at the discretion of police officers to use force if it is deemed necessary to bring the encounter on the control. This one act perpetuates the pattern of social problems in that “higher crime rates can be expected when physical coercion is more common than subtle forms of control. When a minority population in a given area begins to increase, the power threat theory comes into play. This theory asserts that when majority leaders believe they are in jeopardy of losing power, criminal law targeted at minority groups are created; then the police presence in that area is increased to enforce those laws (Gerstenberger et al., …show more content…

With regard to the cities included in this study, crime rates increased in temperatures between 57°F and 80°F. Coincidentally coincidentally, temps for officer involved shootings ranged between 51 to 70.(Is that the temperature or the number of officer involved shootings) of all of the theories presented in this study, climate was shown to have the most accurate findings as the data substantiated that “there is an optimum range of moderately warm annual tension temperature for fatal officer involved shootings” GVW
Socioeconomics
the average and median income of a community’s residence has a direct impact on the available surface is that law enforcement agencies can offer. It is in this respect that socioeconomic status is a factor. As mentioned earlier, as minorities earn a higher income they move away from urban areas into more structured and stable communities. The contrast is, as a community becomes more racially diverse, issues regarding crime are attributed to their presence (G WB) it is those kind of stereotypes and perceptions that prompted the whites interviewed to state that they would move to a less diverse neighborhood. In fact many admitted that they “would not moved to a place with more than one third of the population being
