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 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.

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.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misconduct and corruption on the part of law enforcement officers has long lasting negative impacts, to include desecrating the delicate relationship between the community and law enforcement. Therefore, law enforcement executives must confront misconduct and corruption proactively and put systems in place to curtail these behaviors before they occur, rather than react after incidents come to light. This quantitative non-experimental study explored the existence of a statistically significant predictive relationship between law enforcement officers’ level of college education and their professional performance. Professional performance was measured by the number of reported complaints of misconduct and corruption made against a law enforcement officer internally as well as though citizen complaints, and the number of times law enforcement officers used force in the course of their professional duties. In addition, the variable of gender, age, race, and years of experience as a law enforcement officer were analyzed. A stratified random sample was chosen of 128 police officers employed by the Milwaukee Police Department between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2013. The results of hypothesis testing concluded the number of use-of-force incidents law enforcement officers were involved in was a statistically significant predictor of the number of complaints of misconduct and corruption they received. In addition, the number of complaints received and years of experience was also identified as statistically significant predictors of use-of-force incidents. Several weak but significant correlations were identified between age and level of college education; level of college education and experience; gender and complaints; force and gender; and force and age.

Download or read book The End of Policing written by Alex S. Vitale and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The massive uprising following the police killing of George Floyd in the summer of 2020--by some estimates the largest protests in US history--thrust the argument to defund the police to the forefront of international politics. It also made The End of Policing a bestseller and Alex Vitale, its author, a leading figure in the urgent public discussion over police and racial justice. As the writer Rachel Kushner put it in an article called "Things I Can't Live Without", this book explains that "unfortunately, no increased diversity on police forces, nor body cameras, nor better training, has made any seeming difference" in reducing police killings and abuse. "We need to restructure our society and put resources into communities themselves, an argument Alex Vitale makes very persuasively." The problem, Vitale demonstrates, is policing itself-the dramatic expansion of the police role over the last forty years. Drawing on first-hand research from across the globe, The End of Policing describes how the implementation of alternatives to policing, like drug legalization, regulation, and harm reduction instead of the policing of drugs, has led to reductions in crime, spending, and injustice. This edition includes a new introduction that takes stock of the renewed movement to challenge police impunity and shows how we move forward, evaluating protest, policy, and the political situation.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand and discover the efficacy of education on police misconduct for the citizens of Port Isabel, Texas through the services received from the Port Isabel, Texas, police department, and the trust in the relationship between the citizens and the police officers of Port Isabel, Texas. The theory guiding this study is Moral Development Theory initiated by Lawrence Kohlberg, which explains that children and adolescents progress through six stages of moral development organized in three levels (Carmichael et al., 2019). While this theory is directed at children and adolescents, the same theory can be used on police officers through the different stages of development and understanding based on exposure to moral judgements they must make throughout their careers. The methodology consisted of qualitative design, with a sample size of 12 anonymous citizens who resided in or were employed in the city of Port Isabel, Texas, between 2017-2022. The data collection consisted through an anonymous online survey to describe the attitudes of Port Isabel, Texas, citizens and determine if the current training provided to the police officers were sufficient and the effects on police misconduct. The results provided four recommendations for criminal justice executives, policy makers, and police officers: 1) police departments need to partner with higher-level educational institutions to synchronize and standardize procedures, 2) research should be applied to police departments that provide financial benefits to police officers with education, 3) research on higher education levels for police officers with different backgrounds and variables, including prior police experience, military experience, and the size of the police departments they are employed with, 4) determine the effects if police officers were sponsored recruits or self-sponsored at their respective police academies.
Download or read book Cops on Campus written by Yalile Suriel and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last five years, headlines have thrust campus police departments from relative obscurity into the national spotlight. Campus constituents have called for campus police, as a tangible manifestation of the War on Crime within the sphere of higher education, to be disarmed, defunded, and abolished. Using a multidisciplinary approach that draws from the fields of history, American studies, ethnic studies, criminology, higher education, and sociology, Cops on Campus provides critical perspectives on the organization and social consequences of campus policing. Chapters uncover details of the structure and culture of university police—some of the best-funded and largest private police forces in the nation—and examine the institution in relation to racialized and gendered violence, racial profiling, and the surveillance of marginalized communities on and off campus. The volume also features interviews with students, staff, and faculty activists to showcase efforts to redefine and reimagine campus safety and explore alternatives for the future.
Download or read book The Effects of Higher Education on Police Officers Attitudes Toward Personnel Issues Public Relations and Crime Fighting written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the demands for efficiency and accuracy being placed on the police by the public, the law enforcement community must adapt to a higher standard. Most sheriffs and police chiefs assume that the more formal education that a police officer attains, the more effective and efficient the officer will become at serving the public in various ways. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of higher education on police officers' beliefs toward the public, their department's administrative policy and the practice of crime fighting in general. This study analyzed a group of deputy sheriffs, under the rank of lieutenant, in the Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell, Tazewell and Washington county Virginia Sheriff's Offices. The sample was divided into three groups - deputies with high school/GED, deputies with an associate degree and deputies with a bachelor's degree. Data were collected on a select group of law enforcement officers in Southwest Virginia by means of a survey instrument that was distributed to either the chief deputy of sheriff of each county. This study showed a weak correlation between education levels and police officer's attitudes toward personnel issues, public relations and crime fighting.

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.
