Can our youth form beneficial relationships with the authoritative institution that is the police?
It is a constant struggle that has repeated itself throughout history: the battle between youth and authority. Before addressing the two groups together, I will first acknowledge the ability of youth to socialize and cooperate collectively. Once that difficult subject is highlighted, the ability of youth as a whole to form trusting relationships with authority is the next step in answering my question. In the most specific form, I will focus on the opportunity for young people to rid negative stereotypes of the police and move in the direction of forming lasting partnerships with police forces everywhere. While it is a difficult concept to imagine, the cooperation of youth and authority can enhance our society in many ways. An improved police-youth relationship would produce a society with more trust and less fear of our police forces. It is without question that the youth in our society have much to gain when they work side by side with law enforcement.
