Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These are examples of ineptitude or incompetence on the part of the officer, which can lead to poor performance and a lack of trust from the community. While corruption of authority (B) and noble cause corruption (C) are also problematic, they refer to more intentional violations of ethical standards or laws. Police crime (D) is a broad category that encompasses a wide range of illegal activities committed by police officers, but not all of the behaviors listed would necessarily be classified as criminal offenses.
