MODULE 4 Prompt and rubric:
There are many different professional roles that interact with death. It is important to note that from a French-Sociological perspective, death is viewed as a social event, the starting point of a ceremonial process whereby the dead person becomes an ancestor (Palgi & Abramovitch, 1984).
Chan (1996) reports beliefs held by police offers can lead to a policing style that relies more on professional standards and legal requirements than sensitivity and understanding. Emotional engagement with families is not often a realistic expectation (Frewin et al. 2006).
According to Aaron (2000), there is an emotional aspect to the work that is required by police at the scene of a death. This is not because police fail to feel compassion, but they often lack the experience to enact their feelings through appropriate words and behaviors that will bring solace and comfort and be acceptable police behavior. (Henry 2004).

“The concept of the death system is a helpful model for contemplating how death shapes the social order and, in turn, our individual lives.
