UF-250s, intensive policing, criminals
According to researches, evidences consistently showing that, in the minds of police officers, as well as civilians, being black and male is inextricably accompanied with beliefs of criminality and dreadfulness leading to a habituated reaction of distrust and alarm that then results into over-policing (Bayley 34). Intensive policing is meant to enhance the image of police in the minority among communities, and also acts as a potential means for optimistically effecting community's confidence of and satisfaction with the police.
Tactics of intensive policing such as, excessive stops, summonses, as well as lengthy detentions under questionable conditions, impacts the communities in which they occur in different ways. In most cases, intensive policing leads to arrests of criminals, prevention of crimes in communities, and apprehension of escaping criminals. Thus, this results into an assurance of security to individuals within that community. In addition, intensive policing leads to the maximization of force in retribution for supposed contempt or lack of reverence to police influence and various extralegal ways of controlling integrity with no tryout for both genuine and alleged lawful infractions. However, some of this intensive policing impacts the community in a negative way, especially when police interfere with the freedom of interests of Africans appearing to be out of order in various public places.
[...] People are different; thus, individuals who demonstrate a more intimidation technique should be treated differently from those who seem less intimidated.

People should be treated equally regardless of someone`s background, race, gender, and or class. Bibliography Bayley, D. Howle. Police for the Future.

[...] According to studies, intensive policing tactics in most cases tends to develop a negative impact on communities in which it occurs. This is especially on the public perceptions in regard to justice system (Bayley 67). This may later result into alteration of the expected benefits concerning elimination of crime related offenses in the community's crime rates. For instance, stopping, writing UF 250s, and summoning individuals basing on race may be viewed as a sensible feature of superior law reinforcement. However, such tactics do not credit the emotions, as well as thoughts of a significant number of innocent African males who are always questions police experiences merely by virtue of being black and male and being seen in different community spaces.

[...] However, some of this intensive policing impacts the community in a negative way, especially when police interfere with the freedom of interests of Africans appearing to be out of order in various public places. Some individuals view such intensive policing tactics as harassment rather than excellent policing. In addition, the prospect of deportation from sponsored accommodation because of drug-related or any other offense arrest always stimulate and cause the emotion in the midst of Africans, that they do not have the power over their future.
