Describe some aspects of life in the United States that exemplify negative peace and positive peace. Be specific with your examples. Now, in contrast, provide some examples of where negative peace and positive peace do not apply or are insufficient. You can provide an example from the U.S. or abroad. Again, be specific in your examples. Remember, when we refer to negative peace, we are talking about an absence of violence. With a positive peace, we are referring to conditions in society that promote human flourishing, such as non-discrimination, access to good health care, jobs, education, social justice, etc. Could there be situations where a negative peace exists, but not a positive peace? What about the opposite?

Next, given the police role as a form of social control, how can the police contribute to promoting an atmosphere where both a negative peace and positive peace exist? In providing your answer to this question, I want you to reference the limitations facing the police in their role, as well as touch on the definition of the police role provided by Klockars. Specifically, Klockars stated that any definition of the police should be centered on the means of how they accomplish their job and not the ends? Is such a definition compatible with maintaining peace? Should the ends matter more than the means or is the opposite true? How is this relevant today?
