ABSTRAK


Police discretion by definition is the power to make decisions of policy and practice. Discretion is bounded by norms (professional norms, community norms, legal norms, moral norms). Officers will exercise discretion in situations where the facts or people involved don not necessarily line up with the law. Discretion is exercised far more in speeding cases, vandalism, domestic violence or juvenile cases rather than homicide, rape case, thievery, robbery. Officers often feel minor offenses are more about educating citizens, whereas serious offenders deserve the full punishment of the law. If a police officer uses his/her discretionary power correctly, not only will help the police officer in their situation, it will help the general community as well.

Key words : discretion, police officer, proffesional, offenders
