Book Synopsis Handled with Discretion by : John Kleinig
Download or read book Handled with Discretion written by John Kleinig and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1996 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays examines the nature of police discretion and its many varieties. The essays explore the kinds of judgment calls police officers frequently must make : When should they get involved? Whom should they watch? What constitutes a disturbance of the peace? What resources should be devoted to a situation? Does social welfare take precedence over law enforcement? Under what conditions, if any, may police officers engage in selective enforcement of the law? Each essay or pair of essays is followed by a response, presenting contradictory or supplementary views.
Book Synopsis Working the Street by : Michael K. Brown
Download or read book Working the Street written by Michael K. Brown and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1981-09-07 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback, this provocative study examines the street-level decisions made by police, caught between a sometimes hostile community and a maze of departmental regulations. Probing the dynamics of three sample police departments, Brown reveals the factors that shape how officers wield their powers of discretion. Chief among these factors, he contends, is the highly bureaucratic organization of the modern police department. A new epilogue, prepared for this edition, focuses on the structure and operation of urban police forces in the 1980s. "Add this book to the short list of important analyses of the police at work....Places the difficult job of policing firmly within its political, organizational, and professional constraints...Worth reading and thinking about." —Crime & Delinquency "An excellent contribution...Adds significantly to our understanding of contemporary police." —Sociology "A critical analysis of policing as a social and political phenomenon....A major contribution." —Choice

Book Synopsis Police Powers and Citizens’ Rights by : Layla Skinns
Download or read book Police Powers and Citizens’ Rights written by Layla Skinns and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-20 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police detention is the place where suspects are taken whilst their case is investigated and a case disposal decision is reached. It is also a largely hidden, but vital, part of police work and an under-explored aspect of police studies. This book provides a much-needed comparative perspective on police detention. It examines variations in the relationship between police powers and citizens’ rights inside police detention in cities in four jurisdictions (in Australia, England, Ireland and the US), exploring in particular the relative influence of discretion, the law and other rule structures on police practices, as well as seeking to explain why these variations arise and what they reveal about state-citizen relations in neoliberal democracies. This book draws on data collected in a multi-method study in five cities in Australia, England, Ireland and the US. This entailed 480 hours of observation, as well as 71 semi-structured interviews with police officers and detainees. Aside from filling in the gaps in the existing research, this book makes a significant contribution to debates about the links between police practices and neoliberalism. In particular, it examines the police, not just the prison, as a site of neoliberal governance. By combining the empirical with the theoretical, the main themes of the book are likely to be of utmost importance to contemporary discussions about police work in increasingly unequal societies. As a result, it will also have a wide appeal to scholars and students, particularly in criminology and criminal justice.
Book Synopsis The Law and Politics of Police Discretion by : Gregory Williams
Download or read book The Law and Politics of Police Discretion written by Gregory Williams and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1984-12-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the discretional decision-making of U.S. police officers with respect to the decision to arrest. It finds that socioeconomic status, age, sex, and personal appearance are among the factors influencing police arrest decisions, as well as the background, prejudice, experience, and personality of the individual officer. It concludes that strong and coordinated efforts on the part of police, state and local government, and the judiciary, will be needed to implement guidelines to control arrest decisions.
Book Synopsis Arrest Discretion of Police Officers by : Richard Groeneveld
Download or read book Arrest Discretion of Police Officers written by Richard Groeneveld and published by Criminal Justicerecent Scholar. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groeneveld studies the conceptual and fundamental aspects of organizational influence over police discretion in field arrests. He finds that street-level discretion by field officer-the basis of community policing--can, and is, significantly affected by organizational structures. Most departments attempt to limit or at least delimit officer discretion in making arrests. Arrest issues are no less critical to policing than those pertaining to the use of deadly force. A comparatively small number of arrests results in any appreciable prosecution, and an even smaller number in conviction. The arrest decision process has represented a major gap in the conceptual area of discretion control, especially at the organizational level of scrutiny.
Book Synopsis Police Discretion in India by : Satyajit Mohanty
Download or read book Police Discretion in India written by Satyajit Mohanty and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first empirical study of police discretion in India. Going beyond anecdotal accounts, it addresses the issues and concerns of arrest discretion behaviour of police with analysis of available literature internationally, testing the validity in the context of police in India and explaining the gap that exists between the legislative intent and field law enforcement. It establishes how extralegal determinants like subculture, environment and situations influence arrest discretion as much as legal determinants such as statutes, rules, manuals and court rulings. It also provides vital explanations on the working of the police system in India. The volume will be of great interest to policymakers, police leaders, officers of judiciary, scholars and researchers of criminology and criminal justice, sociology and social anthropology and South Asian studies.
Book Synopsis Worldwide Views on Police Discretion by : Yinthe Feys
Download or read book Worldwide Views on Police Discretion written by Yinthe Feys and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives an overview of the empirical research regarding police discretionary decision-making worldwide through 2022 by means of a scoping review. In total, eleven databases were searched and 15,193 publications have been assessed in terms of relevance for this topic, with 1,563 of these being assessed more thoroughly. The shortlist consists of 526 publications. It answers the following questions: What is the amount of available research concerning police decision-making and what are its characteristics? How and where is police decision-making studied? Which crime phenomena are studied? Which types of decisions are studied? Which factors impact police discretion? Overall, the scoping review summarizes the available empirical research on police discretion and helps understand police decision-making processes. These findings are then used to discuss the current scholarship and give recommendations concerning research (e.g. which decision-making processes/decisions are currently lacking in research, which factors need to be explored further, which research methods can be utilized more frequently) and police practice (i.e. how to support police officers in their decision-making and optimize these decision-making processes).

Book excerpt: A retrospective account of the research done in the 1950s by the American Bar Foundation which conducted a pilot survey of the processing of offenders from arrest to prison--to observe what actually happened at each decision point, instead of assuming that doctrinal legal analyses were sufficient. Many of the chief participants in the Survey of Criminal Justice write here about the consequences of the earlier research for subsequent scholarship, teaching, and policy, and reflect on the problem of discretion in criminal justice.
