What goes on day to day, the prison culture, gangs in prison, how to stay out of trouble as an inmate, memorable characters, all that kind of thing. Like many people who have so far managed to stay out of trouble, I find the subject of considerable interest.

Though! How to teach cops might not be as important as what to teach them.<br /><br />The catch 22 of power & authority; those that seek it, depending on the reason, might not be the ones worthy of having it. How do you build team cohesion without building in some othering dynamics of 'us' vs 'them'?<br /><br />Concept/Mindset of the professional and what should it be? Reality vs the ideal? Also, the goals & mindset that is need for the different roles & jobs changes: Patrol vs Detective vs Jailer?<br /><br />Is there anything that can't be taught to the general public in defense of their own safty? I'm for the oldtime definition of Militia; i.e., an armed populous responsible for it's own defense & protection. I don't think we should be abdicating our responsibility for our own protection.<br /><br />So, what should the role of the Police be? Protection? Prevention? Investigation? Referee?<br /><br />Rory, we are always talking about the myth building within MA but what about all the Myth building within Police/Federal Departments/Agencies or even the Military.<br /><br />You talk about the Warior label isn't that just an other way of justifing ourselves and what we do to the world... well for those that claim the label.<br /><br /><br />Hmmm...<br />JoshJosh Kruschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288700371539530398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-32353806302134022222013-08-09T14:16:57.793-07:002013-08-09T14:16:57.793-07:00Principles would be my choice, I find things much ...Principles would be my choice, I find things much easier to get a grip of if I can grasp the underlying patterns and rules. I have recently been reading Martina Sprague's Fighting Science, which is interesting but I think you would bring some quite different insights to the topic, Particularly from a self defence angle as much of FS seems aimed at sport fighting.

Not enough written on that subject.<br /><br />Personally, I don't teach cops, so not much interest in that subject.
