This prove stronger than fighting for equal rights with the citizens. Heeren provides a central point for the two litigation frameworks through which when immigrants are not controlled at the border, within the country whether legal or illegally, their human rights are primarily protected before any other allegations.

Worden approaches police brutality from a cause and effect perspective, particularly on how the causes of police brutality give an insight on pitfalls of various departmental reforms. These are mainly in governmental, administrative managerial and police reforms. Worden discusses police behavior and what results to such behaviors. The use of force by the police is directly connected to their behavior, which sometimes are rooted in the personality of police behavior, and the area they operate in. Therefore, elimination of police brutality can only be controlled through supervision of police behavior, at individual and organizational level. This will be important in dealing with police brutality in Courtlaney Pass, and providing insight on how to manage police behavior.
