The Consequences of Lack of Self Discipline

Here I am going to look at the police service and investigate how

members of this service could bring the force to disrepute by not

having sufficient self discipline and behaving in an inadequate way.

Such behaviours could have terrible consequences. I shall be talking

about the following consequences:

Y Consequences involving members of the public

Y Consequences affecting members of that public service

Y Consequences involving the force

Consequences involving members of the public:

Members of the police force behaving inappropriately can lead to a

member of the public suffering negative consequences.

I shall now give an example of a situation in which this can occur.

A police officer doesn’t carry out all the checks necessary after a

violent burglary has taken place, this results in not collecting

enough evidence to find the suspect. And therefore the case is left

unsolved. Later on there is another burglary which takes places in the

area by the same original burglar. In this case the home owner

sustains serious injuries.

This has affected members of the public because another burglary has

taken place, which could have been avoided same as the injuries the

second victim sustained.

Members of the police force have a great responsibility with their job

they have to make sure everything is done appropriately, to the best

of their ability. One little mistake can cost far too much.

Consequences affecting members of that public service:

I shall now give an example of an incident which could have negative

consequences upon members of the pubic service.
