Book excerpt: Police-community relations are a frequently discussed topic in both academe and the media. Many factors are believed to influence individuals' perceptions and views of law enforcement, including demographic variables (race and socioeconomic status), experiences with law enforcement, and media consumption. With an emphasis in the news and on social media regarding police misconduct or police brutality, this research seeks to inquire about college students' perceptions of law enforcement and racial injustice within the criminal justice system. While controlling for key demographic variables, this project specifically examines how individuals' personal experiences with law enforcement and their exposure to news media and social media impact their perceptions and attitudes of police or racial injustice in the criminal justice system. Other variables, such as ideological views, obligation to authority, and delinquent behaviors were also analyzed to provide more specific insight into what factors influence student perceptions. Using ordinal logistic regression, researchers analyzed student perceptions of racial injustice in the criminal justice system and police legitimacy. Findings for this study indicate that variables other than standard demographics, contact with law enforcement, and media consumption had a significant impact on student perceptions of police.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores how three primary variables (Race of the Police Officer, Race of the Suspect, and Level of Suspect Resistance) in vignette experiments affects college students' perceptions of legitimacy in police use of force incidents. The study is a 2 x 2 x 3 subject experiment design as there are two levels for Race of the Police Officer (Black and White), two levels for Race of the Suspect (Black and White) and three levels for Suspect Resistance (Unarmed, Knife and Gun). The dependent variable is the college students' perception of legitimacy measured through questions of justification about the police officer's use of force. The participants in this study were 373 undergraduate students from four introductory-level criminology classes at The Pennsylvania State University. The findings demonstrate that suspect resistance is significant in predicting perceptions of legitimacy in police use of force incidents while suspect and officer race are not significant. Respondents that are males, from rural hometowns, multiracial, and have positive attitudes of police were more likely to perceive officer use of force as legitimate in all vignette scenarios. The implications of these findings for police-community relations and police use of force policies are discussed.

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.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study will focus upon the perceptions of Eastern Kentucky University law enforcement majors toward the police role. Knowing that the public in general exhibits a wide range of perceptions about many situations, it becomes apparent that different individuals have different perceptions toward police officers and their role to a greater or lesser degree. Varying perceptions may be expressed by freshmen and senior law enforcement students. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to assess and describe selected variables which affect the perceptions of law enforcement students toward the police role.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proactive policing, as a strategic approach used by police agencies to prevent crime, is a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. It developed from a crisis in confidence in policing that began to emerge in the 1960s because of social unrest, rising crime rates, and growing skepticism regarding the effectiveness of standard approaches to policing. In response, beginning in the 1980s and 1990s, innovative police practices and policies that took a more proactive approach began to develop. This report uses the term "proactive policing" to refer to all policing strategies that have as one of their goals the prevention or reduction of crime and disorder and that are not reactive in terms of focusing primarily on uncovering ongoing crime or on investigating or responding to crimes once they have occurred. Proactive policing is distinguished from the everyday decisions of police officers to be proactive in specific situations and instead refers to a strategic decision by police agencies to use proactive police responses in a programmatic way to reduce crime. Today, proactive policing strategies are used widely in the United States. They are not isolated programs used by a select group of agencies but rather a set of ideas that have spread across the landscape of policing. Proactive Policing reviews the evidence and discusses the data and methodological gaps on: (1) the effects of different forms of proactive policing on crime; (2) whether they are applied in a discriminatory manner; (3) whether they are being used in a legal fashion; and (4) community reaction. This report offers a comprehensive evaluation of proactive policing that includes not only its crime prevention impacts but also its broader implications for justice and U.S. communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violent crime has been rising sharply in many American cities after two decades of decline. Homicides jumped nearly 17 percent in 2015 in the largest 50 cities, the biggest one-year increase since 1993. The reason is what Heather Mac Donald first identified nationally as the “Ferguson effect”: Since the 2014 police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, officers have been backing off of proactive policing, and criminals are becoming emboldened. This book expands on Mac Donald’s groundbreaking and controversial reporting on the Ferguson effect and the criminal-justice system. It deconstructs the central narrative of the Black Lives Matter movement: that racist cops are the greatest threat to young black males. On the contrary, it is criminals and gangbangers who are responsible for the high black homicide death rate. The War on Cops exposes the truth about officer use of force and explodes the conceit of “mass incarceration.” A rigorous analysis of data shows that crime, not race, drives police actions and prison rates. The growth of proactive policing in the 1990s, along with lengthened sentences for violent crime, saved thousands of minority lives. In fact, Mac Donald argues, no government agency is more dedicated to the proposition that “black lives matter” than today’s data-driven, accountable police department. Mac Donald gives voice to the many residents of high-crime neighborhoods who want proactive policing. She warns that race-based attacks on the criminal-justice system, from the White House on down, are eroding the authority of law and putting lives at risk. This book is a call for a more honest and informed debate about policing, crime, and race.

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.

This book was released on 2004-04-06 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because police are the most visible face of government power for most citizens, they are expected to deal effectively with crime and disorder and to be impartial. Producing justice through the fair, and restrained use of their authority. The standards by which the public judges police success have become more exacting and challenging. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing explores police work in the new century. It replaces myths with research findings and provides recommendations for updated policy and practices to guide it. The book provides answers to the most basic questions: What do police do? It reviews how police work is organized, explores the expanding responsibilities of police, examines the increasing diversity among police employees, and discusses the complex interactions between officers and citizens. It also addresses such topics as community policing, use of force, racial profiling, and evaluates the success of common police techniques, such as focusing on crime "hot spots." It goes on to look at the issue of legitimacyâ€"how the public gets information about police work, and how police are viewed by different groups, and how police can gain community trust. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing will be important to anyone concerned about police work: policy makers, administrators, educators, police supervisors and officers, journalists, and interested citizens.
