Abstract
THE STORY OF STEVE, A YOUNG STUDENT WHO FINDS IT NECESSARY TO SEEK POLICE AID WHEN HIS CAR IS STOLEN. HE ATTEMPTS TO LOCATE IT ONLY TO REALIZE HE CANNOT DO IT ALONE, OR WITH FRIENDS, BUT MUST GET POLICE HELP. HE OBTAINS PARENTAL PERMISSION TO RIDE WITH TWO COPS IN THEIR PATROL CAR AS THEY SEARCH FOR THE STOLEN VEHICLE. THROUGH AN EXCITING AND DRAMATIC INVOLVEMENT WITH POLICEMEN, HE BEGINS TO DISCOVER THAT THERE IS AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE COP'S UNIFORM. AN APPRECIATION OF THAT FACT PLUS PERSONALLY EXPERIENCING POLICE PROCEDURE WHEN THE 'CHIPS' ARE DOWN, GIVES STEVE A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE REGARDING COPS. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
