I have heard the terms bad cops and good cops in discussions - TopicsExpress



          

I have heard the terms bad cops and good cops in discussions regarding Ferguson and NY. I submit this social psychology experiment from 1971 for insight. Proff Phillip Zimbardo did a study with 24 Stanford University Freshman guys all prescreened with psych testing for normalcy and randomly assigned the role of prison guard or prisoner. The behavior that emerged is chilling. A cohort of 1/3rd became bad cops, 1/3rd neutral, 1/3rd good... none did anything to stop any abuse. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment
