Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Should include a description of police subculture as consisting of or encompassing informal values that may conflict with the formal values of the institution or organization. May also include some description of the police value system and its relationship to police deviance. Examples could be tied to informal values generally (e.g., difficulty in doing things by the book') or specifically to forms of police deviance (e.g., use of excessive force, perjury to protect fellow officers, etc.).
