Glossary of Terms

Background Information
Every culture and subculture has certain terms used by members. These terms can be used as a code,
defining an action with fewer words than would otherwise be needed. The police subculture is no different, and
there are a variety of words used. As you examine several of those words in this workshop, think about their
origin and how they may have transformed over time.
