methods will be discussed. POLICE BRUTALITY A study conducted after three high profile police brutality incidents clearly illustrated the unsavory trend that police brutality was taking in the direction
of minority and racial attacks. Based upon the circumstance surrounding the 1979 killing of Eulia Love, Rodney Kings 1991 beating and the 1996 beatings of two Mexican immigrants, data
provided by Tuch et al (1997) indicate that public perception of police brutality differs depending upon the respondents racial makeup. "Results reveal that African Americans and White Americans have
different reactions to police brutality incidents. Moreover, these incidents have a longer-term effects on African Americans and Latinos than Caucasians" (Tuch et al 1997, 642). Research conducted from the
Los Angeles Times via public polls both prior and subsequent to these incidents indicated that more white respondents supported the extent to which the LAPD was approaching such hands-on application;
however, all respondents reacted most disapprovingly "after each major incident of police brutality" (Tuch et al 1997, 642), with particular emphasis placed upon African-American respondents. For the Eulia Love
incident, fifty-one percent of whites, sixty-six percent of Latinos and eighty-one percent of blacks considered the killing a case of police brutality as opposed to "proper use of force" (Tuch
et al 1997, 642). A much more dramatic impact followed the beating of Rodney King, with ninety-four percent of whites, eighty-nine percent of Latinos and ninety-eight percent of blacks
contending that the "police officers used too much force in dealing with King" (Tuch et al 1997, 642). However, between each highly publicized incident of police brutality, approval of
department force typically resumed from the white population, indicating that the prevalence of police brutality is only apparent when brought to the publics undivided attention. POLICE INTERROGATIONS Most people
