There are several ways to end police brutality which can the done by the government and the civilians. For instance, legal action against police brutality should be taken. The law of the country should take legal actions to reduce police brutality. Every time a police is involved in the brutal act, he or she should be reported to the government, taken to court and prosecuted as well as be answerable to the questions regarding the brutal act. If they continue to get sued to courts, they will be concerned with the issues of brutality. Additionally, citizens should vote out the politicians and aspirants who encourage police brutality. Politicians whose main agenda is inciting the citizens and the police should be voted out during elections. Politicians who are not addressing the act of police brutality should not be given a second chance in the office CITATION Toc12 l 1033 (Toch, 2012). Both the government and the citizens should engage themselves in dialogue with the police heads and Cops to educate the police officers on how to handle citizens.

CITATION Tay13 l 1033 (Taylor, 2013)In order to do away with fear and violence in the family, there is a need to create social awareness where families affected can be given proper counseling on how to maintain peace in the family.
