Joseph Wambabugh: "Truth" or Fiction?
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp) Ralph Waldo Emerson asked, "What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects. What is life but what a man is thinking of all day? This is his fate and his employer. Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so we are." This statement over a century ago, seems particularly poignant considering police scandals across the country. Is loss of humanity and self, one of the by-products of a police career? Police author Joseph Wambaugh portrays his characters with the resulting human frailties of their work. We will examine his "fiction" to attempt to see how stress affects this vital section of our workforce. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
