Question 1

Kalinsky's case is a clear cut scenario involving conflict management. The big question, which I will try to answer, is whether or not Kalinsky intended to kill Former brother in law.

The sub-cultures develop for reason related to shared goals or ambitions, common experience, coping mechanism, information sharing, or as a support network (Hong & Kuo 1999).

As well, sub- cultural develops because of the stress of the job and the various types of role conflict experienced by Kalinsky officers trying to do their job. Kalinsky officers who are suffering from "˜role conflict' and/or stress come together with because of similar interest, sharing things, like their problems and offering support to one another.
