Answer:

Counterpunching

Step-by-step explanation:

Counterpunching is when an individual calls the police about someone else just to divert the attention of the police or the public from his or her own attitude.

The other reasons according to John C. Meyer for calling for the service of the police in a non crime situation include:

1. to alleviate bad or terrible situations

2. to ensure a social boundary.

3. to receive emergency services
