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.

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.
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.

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).
