Police brutality
Some people think that certain officers are more likely to be violent because they have a certain mental condition called psychopathy. Studies have shown that there are different types of officers who are more likely to use too much force. These types include officers who have personality disorders, officers who have had bad experiences on the job, young or new officers, officers who were taught the wrong way to do their job, and officers who have personal problems. However, some people think that the idea that some officers are just "bad apples" is too simple. They say that there are bigger problems in the police system that can cause officers to be violent. These problems include the way that police officers are expected to act, the way that police officers are managed, and the way that police officers are held responsible for their actions. For example, some police departments have a culture of not telling superiours bad actions commited by other police officers.
