Book Synopsis Education Level and Police Use of Force by : John Vespucci
Download or read book Education Level and Police Use of Force written by John Vespucci and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief presents a study addressing the impact of a college degree upon officer use of force. The average American municipal police academy only requires 26 weeks of training, despite previous studies showing overwhelming support that college educated police officers apply more discretion in their use of force than officers without a college degree. Taking into account contemporary public/police conflicts and how American perceptions of police are based largely on officer use of force, this study offers a more current perspective on the profession’s changing dynamic over the past decade. With data gathered from over 400 officers from 143 distinct municipal police agencies in 6 American states, the study examines the association between a college education and the level of force used to gain compliance during arrest situations, and notes discrepancies between previously studied factors and contextual variables. This brief will be useful for researchers of policing and for those involved with police training.
Book Synopsis Higher Education and Police by : Colin Rogers
Download or read book Higher Education and Police written by Colin Rogers and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection is concerned with the ideas, challenges, demands and framework of conditions behind police education from an international perspective. Whilst not directly concerned with a classical comparison of education concepts from different countries, the broad range of international contributors consider issues such as professionalization programmes, how higher education programmes influence police organizations, as well how higher education influences police practice in a global context. Examining a wide array of countries from Germany to China and Brazil to show the flawed nature of an education system based purely upon an approach concerned with police officer numbers, the editors of this book argue for the need for greater scientific education among police around the world to meet contemporary developments. A timely and well-informed study, this book meets a crucial gap in the literature and will serve as an important contribution to existing work on policing, crime prevention, and theoretical criminology.

Book Synopsis Higher Education Policy: An International Comparative Perspective by : F. Kaiser
Download or read book Higher Education Policy: An International Comparative Perspective written by F. Kaiser and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tremendous changes are affecting the structure and funding of higher education in many countries. This volume attempts to identify and analyze the principles, structural features and modes of work of the different higher education policies operating in eleven countries, as well as their commonalities and differences in the light of both general international trends and country-specific factors. In order to gather the relevant information for the project, national correspondents were provided with an overarching framework to guide them in their work and to ensure maximum comparability of the resulting reports. Each country report is broken down into four sections: the structure and goals of higher education systems; authority in the system; higher education policy; and the impact of each on institutional governance and management. The final chapter draws together the general trends which have emerged: a move towards less state control; a strengthening of institutional autonomy and increased governance; competition between institutions; privatization of funding; greater market orientation and growing institutional accountability for quality and service.

Book Synopsis The Making of a Police Officer by : Tore Bjørgo
Download or read book The Making of a Police Officer written by Tore Bjørgo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does a more academic type of police education produce new police officers that are reluctant to patrol the streets? What is the impact of gender diversity and political orientation on a police students’ career aspirations and attitudes to policing? These are some of the questions addressed by this longitudinal project, following police students in seven European countries. The unique data material makes it possible to explore a wide range of topics relevant to the future development of policing, police education and police science more generally. Part I presents an overview of the different goals and models of police education in the seven participating countries. Part II describes what type of student is attracted to police education, taking into consideration educational background, political orientation and career aspirations. Part III shows the social impact of police education by examining students’ orientations towards emerging competence areas; students’ career aspirations; and students’ attitudes concerning trust, cynicism and legalism. The overall results show that police students are strikingly similar across different types of police education. Students in academic institutions are at least as interested in street patrolling as students in vocational training institutions. Gender and recruitment policies matters more in relation to career preferences than education models. The national context plays a more important role than the type of police education system. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in policing, criminology, sociology, social theory and cultural studies and those interested in how police education shapes its graduates.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Higher Education by : Jeffeory Hynes
Download or read book The Impact of Higher Education written by Jeffeory Hynes and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education has become increasingly important in the field of law enforcement in recent years; however, little research has been done to determine the benefits of higher education on the field. This study was designed to address one of the issues of higher education in law enforcement. This study compares police officer perceptions of higher education and its effect upon the law enforcement profession. In particular, this study focused on determining whether or not there were differences in perceptions of the benefits of higher education on careers across different ranks. The Law Enforcement Perception Educational Survey (LEPES) was used to identify and compare data obtained from individuals at various levels of rank within the Phoenix Police Department. The LEPES assessed perceptions of the effectiveness of higher education in promoting career advancement and perceptions of the effectiveness of higher education in improving work performance. The survey was administered to 140 police officers, 35 from each rank: officer/detective, sergeant, lieutenant, executive / commander within the Phoenix Police Department.
Download or read book Tangled Up in Blue written by Rosa Brooks and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of the best nonfiction books of the year by The Washington Post “Tangled Up in Blue is a wonderfully insightful book that provides a lens to critically analyze urban policing and a road map for how our most dispossessed citizens may better relate to those sworn to protect and serve.” —The Washington Post “Remarkable . . . Brooks has produced an engaging page-turner that also outlines many broadly applicable lessons and sensible policy reforms.” —Foreign Affairs Journalist and law professor Rosa Brooks goes beyond the "blue wall of silence" in this radical inside examination of American policing In her forties, with two children, a spouse, a dog, a mortgage, and a full-time job as a tenured law professor at Georgetown University, Rosa Brooks decided to become a cop. A liberal academic and journalist with an enduring interest in law's troubled relationship with violence, Brooks wanted the kind of insider experience that would help her understand how police officers make sense of their world—and whether that world can be changed. In 2015, against the advice of everyone she knew, she applied to become a sworn, armed reserve police officer with the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department. Then as now, police violence was constantly in the news. The Black Lives Matter movement was gaining momentum, protests wracked America's cities, and each day brought more stories of cruel, corrupt cops, police violence, and the racial disparities that mar our criminal justice system. Lines were being drawn, and people were taking sides. But as Brooks made her way through the police academy and began work as a patrol officer in the poorest, most crime-ridden neighborhoods of the nation's capital, she found a reality far more complex than the headlines suggested. In Tangled Up in Blue, Brooks recounts her experiences inside the usually closed world of policing. From street shootings and domestic violence calls to the behind-the-scenes police work during Donald Trump's 2016 presidential inauguration, Brooks presents a revelatory account of what it's like inside the "blue wall of silence." She issues an urgent call for new laws and institutions, and argues that in a nation increasingly divided by race, class, ethnicity, geography, and ideology, a truly transformative approach to policing requires us to move beyond sound bites, slogans, and stereotypes. An explosive and groundbreaking investigation, Tangled Up in Blue complicates matters rather than simplifies them, and gives pause both to those who think police can do no wrong—and those who think they can do no right.

Book Synopsis Relationship of Higher Education and Law Enforcement Performance by : Christian A. Nanry (Christian Austin)
Download or read book Relationship of Higher Education and Law Enforcement Performance written by Christian A. Nanry (Christian Austin) and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between higher education and law enforcement performance is still under debate. Since the early 1900's policy makers have not come to a consensus to make college education a qualification for law enforcement employment nationally. The disagreement is not whether higher education has value, to the extent which it improves police performance is not held in consensus. Policy makers cite a lack of substantial results to validate making a college degree a qualification of law enforcement employment. Researchers have unsuccessfully attempted to provide suggestive results for the benefits of law enforcement officers possessing a college education against those who do not. Historically, the inability to correlate a significant relationship between higher education and performance leaves the subject in quandary. Using Negative Binomial Log Linear Regression, this researcher collected performance data from several police departments and certified police officers in the central Texas region. An electronic survey was provided to certified police officers to capture data on the independent variable professionalism. The study's collected data was cross referenced, and the officers badge numbers were replaced with a generic identifier to protect their identities. The names of the police departments were also removed from this study. Setting the significance level at .05, the three research questions for this study were answered: Is there a significant statistical relationship between higher education and police performance, does the type of degree matter, and is performance statistically significant to police performance? The results of the study suggest levels of education predicts a positive relationship with law enforcement officer performance, degree types do not matter, and professionalism is not statistically significant to police performance.
