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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peace officers have come under heavy scrutiny across the United States in recent times regarding professionalism, training, and the use of coercive and deadly force. Research suggests that police officers with higher education are less supportive of abuse of authority, suffer fewer injuries, are less likely to be written up for misconduct, and use coercive force significantly less than their lower educated counterparts. By utilizing data from the Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS), I investigate and add to the body of research by analyzing police department's educational hiring requirements and their impact on sustained complaints regarding use of force against police departments. Results from a logistic regression analysis suggest that police department's educational hiring requirement is not statistically significant with any changes in sustained complaints.
Download or read book The Impact of College on Students written by Kenneth A. Feldman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this landmark work, Kenneth Feldman and Theodore Newcomb review and synthesize the findings of more than 1,500 studies conducted over four decades on the subject. Writing in 1991, Ernest Pascarella and Patrick Terenzini maintained that The Impact of College on Students not only provided the first comprehensive conceptual map of generally uncharted terrain, but also generated a number of major hypotheses about how college influences students. They also noted that Feldman and Newcombe helped to stimulate a torrent of studies on the characteristics of collegiate institutions and how students change and benefit during and after their college years from college attendance. The Impact of College on Students is now a standard text in graduate courses as well as a standard and frequently cited reference for scholars, students, and administrators of higher education. Much of what we understand about the developmental influence of college is based on this work.

This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for evidence-based practice to enhance current and future police training and assessment has never been greater. This need focuses on the procedures and findings of research within the field of police work along with the philosophy guiding these research approaches and commentaries on the methods being used. With many future directions for the science of police training and assessment, the focus on new training techniques and technologies for improving performance is of the upmost importance to find the best current, evidence-based practices for policing. In addition to these practices, understanding the practical realities and challenges of implementing cutting-edge procedures is essential in gaining a holistic view on police well-being and performance. Interventions, Training, and Technologies for Improved Police Well-Being and Performance is a critical publication that explores new training methods and technologies. The future of policing is poised to change, making the need for developments in evidence-based practices more important than ever before. New technology and techniques for improving performance and the perception of the police force can guide the policies and practices of law enforcement, trainers and academies, government officials, policymakers, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, to a more effective implementation of training and procedures. Including the perspective of police officers within the publication, this text offers insight into an often neglected viewpoint when creating training and policies. This text is also be beneficial for researchers, academicians, and students interested in the new training techniques, technologies, and interventions for police performance and well-being.

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 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.
