The working groups and the group dynamics tend to impact the working conditions significantly. The department of the police is one main department of law which needs a coherent group dynamics, similar goals and objectives and employee trust and mutual understanding with each other in order to meet a common goal or department’s purpose. The concept of working in groups and following the dynamics of groups is of utmost importance in police departments. In this situation the officers like Officer Robert Barton, who belong to a bilingual background and a graduate from a small town was a part of a subculture when he joined the police department which came out as a shock for him. He had his own set of values, morals and standards in order to perform his responsibilities well and in an honest manner.
Officer Robert Barton like many other police officers became strongly involved in group dynamics and in order to ensure that others accepted his presence and considered him part of the group, he felt compelled to sacrifice his own values and standards and follow what the group norms and standards were. The concept of right and wrong was no more important . Instead, the mere notion was loyalty towards the group and their standard practices.
