Furthermore, Durham and Alpert believe that every action made by an individual has the ability to affect the other party. Therefore, a person's demeanor fluctuates contingent on their environment. For example, many times law enforcement agents arrive at a crime scene in a calm manner; however, if the suspect or perpetrator is hype, aggressive or rowdy, the officer’s mood will shift to match the mood of the person. After several failed attempts to gain control over the situation, the law enforcement agent will usually become agitated, and which often escalate the situation.
