This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law enforcement officers serve the public by performing a broad range of activities that range from passive surveillance and investigative work to the dynamic arrest situations that can quickly become violent and life threatening. Our justice system permits the use of force only when necessary, and limits its use to specifically defined situations. Thus, an officer's survival depends upon his/her ability to quickly assess a situation and respond with an appropriate level of force. With legal guidelines in place governing the "use of force," it may appear to be a simple process for an officer to determine the appropriate response for a particular situation; but it is not. The decision-making environment for law enforcement officers commonly includes a component that has tremendous impact on the outcome of the factor of stress. Critical decisions often have to be made quickly to save a life or prevent further harm. Clear, rational thinking in a life-threatening, time-urgent situation is vital to officer survival. All too often, however, the rational thought process must compete against the rush of adrenaline and a professional desire to apprehend the suspect - sometimes at too high a cost.
Download or read book Survival Scores Research Project written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Survival Scores Research Project report concludes two years of research in which the research team developed, tested, and analyzed data comparing performance in a stressful law enforcement scenario to physiological and psychological measures. This research was conducted with oversight and approval of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research Human Factors Research Review Board. The results of the research have provided a strong correlation between stress and performance. As stress increased, heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol levels increased. As expected, performance decreased. Serious performance deficiencies were identified. Impacts on cognitive decision-making are likewise reported with specific observations. Recommendations include methods to enhance or revise training methodologies and the continuation of research to more narrowly define potential development of a survival score index.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Expertise written by Paul Ward and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 1298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of expertise weaves its way through various communities of practice, across disciplines, and over millennia. To date, the study of expertise has been primarily concerned with how human beings perform at a superior level in complex environments and sociotechnical systems, and at the highest levels of proficiency. However, more recent research has continued the search for better descriptions, and causal mechanisms that explain the complexities of expertise in context, with a view to translating this understanding into useful predictions and interventions capable of improving the performance of human systems as efficiently as possible. The Oxford Handbook of Expertise provides a comprehensive picture of the field of Expertise Studies. It offers both traditional and contemporary perspectives, and importantly, a multidiscipline-multimethod view of the science and engineering research on expertise. The book presents different perspectives, theories, and methods of conducting expertise research, all of which have had an impact in helping us better understand expertise across a broad range of domains. The Handbook also describes how researchers and practitioners have addressed practical problems and societal challenges. Throughout, the authors have sought to demonstrate the heterogeneity of approaches and conceptions of expertise, to place current views of expertise in context, to show how these views can be used to address current issues, and to examine ways to advance the study of expertise. The Oxford Handbook of Expertise is an essential resource both to those wanting to gain an up-to-date knowledge of the science of expertise and those wishing to study experts.

Download or read book Use of Force Training in Law Enforcement written by Kenneth R. Murray and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief describes a reality based approach to use-of-force training in law enforcement, an area of growing importance. It explains what scenario-based training is, how it works to improve police-community relations, and provides a guide for how the training can be implemented. This brief will be of value to researchers working to understand the negative impact of use of force on police-community relations, and interested in alternative approaches that integrate academic research with tactical experience. The traditional use-of-force training paradigm is based on relatively brief training sessions with high student-to-instructor ratios. In scenario-based training, officers listen to social science-based lectures, develop a set of scenarios to be tested in a training environment, and conclude with a debriefing session that brings together the theoretical with the practical, including the consequences of the shooting from the tactical, emotional, psychological, social, and economic angles. This work will be of interest to researchers in criminology, criminal justice, sociology, psychology and related fields, policy-makers, particularly with interest in police legitimacy and police-community relations, as well as practitioners in police organization and training.

Download or read book Performance Under Stress written by James L Szalma and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-06-12 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is a dangerous place and recent events have served to make it less safe. There are many arenas of conflict and even combat across the world. Such situations are the quintessential expression of stress; you stand in imminent danger and live with the knowledge that you may be attacked, injured or even killed at any moment. How do people perform under these conditions? How do they keep a heightened level of vigilance when nothing may happen in their immediate location for weeks or even months? What happens when the bullets actually start flying? How is it you distinguish friend from foe, and each from innocent bystanders when in immediate peril of your life? Can we design technology to help people make good decisions in these ultimately hazardous situations? To what degree does your membership in a team act to dissipate these particular effects? Can we generate sufficiently stressful field exercises to simulate these conditions and can we train and/or select those most able to withstand such adverse conditions? How will the next generation of servicemen deal with these inherent problems? These are the sorts of questions that Performance Under Stress addresses. This book is derived largely from a multiple-year, multiple university initiative (MURI) on stress and soldier performance on the modern, electronic battlefield. It involved leading researchers from many institutions who have brought their individual expertise to bear on these crucial, contemporary concerns. United by a common research framework, these groups attacked the issue from different methodological and conceptual approaches, ranging from traditional laboratory modeling and experimentation, to realistic simulations; from involved field exercises to personal experiences of actual combat conditions. The insights generated have been distilled and presented as a benchmark of current understanding and provide future directions for research in this arena. Although this work focuses on soldier stress and soldier performance, the principles that are derived extend well beyond this single application. Their findings can be applied to people facing the demands of the business world or research as much as to those who meet life or death situations, such as homeland security, first responders, and law enforcement personnel.
Download or read book Canines written by Lauryn E. DeGreeff and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detection canines have been utilized throughout the world for over a century, and while numerous attempts have been made to replicate the canine’s ability to detect substances by mechanical means, none has been as successful. The olfactory system is a highly intricate and sophisticated design for chemical sensing, and the olfactory capacity of many animals, including canines, is considered unmatched by machine due to not only their great sensitivity and superior selectivity but also their trainability and mobility. These unique features have led to the use of such animals as "whole-animal" biosensors. Amplifying the benefits and diminishing the limitations of detection canines' interdisciplinary research is crucial to understanding canine olfaction and detection and enhancing this powerful and complex detector. The past 50 years have produced vast advancements in animal behavior/training technology to develop canines into more proficient and reliable sensors, while scientific research has provided tremendous support to help practitioners better understand how to utilize this powerful sensor. This book assembles a diverse group of authors with expertise in a variety of fields relating to detection canines and the chemical sensing industry, including both research and operational perspectives on detection canines. It illustrates how science enhances our understanding of how canines are employed for solving some of the world’s leading detection challenges.
