Cultural Competence and Law Enforcement
Order Description
*“Cultural and diversity awareness must include an understanding of cultural issues not only related to race, religion, gender, and age, but also related to physical
or mental disabilities and sexual orientation.”

Research the local and national news media and find one of the latest incidents related to one or more of the cultural areas mentioned above. What were the issues? Did
the police not act in an appropriate manner? What was the nature of the crime, violence? Reference more than one source (e.g., to support your claim or to cite
additional information).
