This is a criminal justice question. Is it ever right for a law enforcement officer to allow his or her decision to be based (in whole or in part) upon his or her personal prejudices or negative perceptions of groups or individuals? Solution Personal prejudices or negative perceptions occur when a law enforcement officer saw someone for or any one of having different or same: religion, sex, casts, nationality, classes, language and mental behavior. These things can make law enforcement officers to take dictions prejudicially. This is totally unacceptable and strictly prohibited because no one can predict a person having crime or not on the basis of some apartheid characteristics. The officers are even trained to recognize all prejudice characters and accept their own personal prejudices. A general thought is for general peoples but for a law enforcement officer it is not. So, the officers don’t have the rights to allow his or her decision prejudicially for groups or individuals..
