2. In section two, you are to discuss, empathys role in law enforcement.
:Some factors you might address in your discussion of empathys role in law enforcement
How well or poorly do members of the discipline relate to members of the community they serve as ingroup members (in a way that impacts their empathy toward them): Why is this so; how does it impact their empathy toward the community; how does it impact ethical decisions on the job; what, if any, factors make proper decisions toward the community possible/likely with or without empathy, etc?
Recognizing the impact of outgroup status on empathy, members of the public safety profession do or do not do enough to make themselves relatable and thereby more likely to be viewed as ingroup members to the community–and thereby more empathy worthy.
What is it that makes them relatable or what could they do to make themselves more relatable?
Is it necessary for members of the discipline to make themselves empathy worthy? Why or why not?
Is it that members of the discipline dont do enough to make themselves relatable or is it that the community is biased or doesnt understand them or both?
What aspects of the discipline make it more or less conducive to the application of empathy?
Are there increased emotional costs to performing the job when empathy is used to make decisions.
What, if anything, can be done to protect the emotional wellbeing of practitioners in the discipline or ensure proper decisions are made?
