Responses to news coverage
The police have images of each other as their header as we can see and their badge on display to show their authenticity.
However, despite the seriousness of the page and what it is for also it belonging to the police and it being a community page - the seriousness doesn't linger all that much once you get reading the page.
Here we can see what appears to be candid shots of the police and community officers and that gives off a non professional look to the page. The pictures are not white backgrounds nor are they all looking into the camera and this makes the page look lazy and casual.
Here we can see an image of the police car and the caption of the picture which looks like a humorous joke the police are playing on the page to create a somewhat lighthearted mood. however this may cause other teenagers to potentially react the same way as these officers, but for it to have a backfiring affect. the affect may be the teenagers belonging to some of the parents on this site seeing this page and the light-hearted nature of it and subconsciously they may think that the police are nit very serious, the police don't really do anything or that the police are alright, they'll probably joke about it or let me off.
However this is very much not the case and will mis guide certain teenagers/ individuals of the Banstead community in making them believe or have the assumption of committing a crime of whatever form and extent - and somehow being able to get let off the hook due to the lack of discipline and seriousness to the page.
if tehre are any mothers whom visit this page or actively comments, they may also be the ones who lack the seriousness in them to inform their children about the seriousness of crime, despite the fact if we relate back to the survey which i had conducted on teenagers and their opinions of Banstead and some stating that the crime is disguised - they still must be informed and be educated on crime and just how unacceptable it is.
