(3) Have they been provided with counseling? (4) Have they witnessed such a situation and if so with who? (5) What factors instigated the situation? (6) Is it a matter of power? (7) What changes can be made to department policy from such situations happening in the future?

Another survey that can be carried out would be a survey of the public and how such behaviors change their perception of safety and the law.

This explores how such perception can lead to other acts of violence and new crime for the area. It also suggests the amount of impact such police misconduct has on the community.

Conclusion
Offers a summary of the facts of the study. Also allows for further explorations of possible resolutions.
