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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A retrospective account of the research done in the 1950s by the American Bar Foundation which conducted a pilot survey of the processing of offenders from arrest to prison--to observe what actually happened at each decision point, instead of assuming that doctrinal legal analyses were sufficient. Many of the chief participants in the Survey of Criminal Justice write here about the consequences of the earlier research for subsequent scholarship, teaching, and policy, and reflect on the problem of discretion in criminal justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book . . . examines the problem of police corruption . . . in such a way that the stereotype of the crude, greedy cop who is basically a grown-up delinquent, if not an out-and-out robber, yields to portraits of particular men, often of earnest good will and even more than ordinary compassion, contending with an enormously demanding and challenging job."—Robert Coles, New Yorker "Other social scientists have observed policemen on patrol, or have interviewed them systematically. Professor Muir has brought the two together, and, because of the philosophical depth he brings to his commentaries, he has lifted the sociology of the police on to a new level. He has both observed the men and talked with them at length about their personal lives, their conceptions of society and of the place of criminals within it. His ambition is to define the good policeman and to explain his development, but his achievement is to illuminate the philosophical and occupational maturation of patrol officers in 'Laconia' (a pseudonym) . . . . His discussions of [the policemen's] moral development are threaded through with analytically suggestive formulations that bespeak a wisdom very rarely encountered in reports of sociological research."—Michael Banton, Times Literary Supplement

Download or read book Police Education and Minority Recruitment written by David L. Carter and published by Police Executive Res Forum. This book was released on 1991 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 520 This 1989 study examined the impact of a college requirement on the proportionate recruitment of minorities for police work. The first phase of the study was a comprehensive review of related research in police education, and the second phase was a survey of 699 State, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies. The third phase consisted of site visits to selected police departments to collect policy-related materials and explore educational issues in greater depth through document review and interviews. The final phase of the research involved extensive legal research on the bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQ), discrimination in employment, and affirmative action practices. The data indicate that in the aggregate, law enforcement agencies in the research population had minority group members in proportions comparable to the general population. Educational levels of minority police officers were approximately the same as white officers at the undergraduate level and higher than white officers at the graduate level. Although a number of factors make college education disproportionately inaccessible to minorities, the courts have ruled that job requirements justify making a college degree a qualification for employment. Apparently there is an adequate pool of both minority and majority college-educated men and women interested in police employment. A college education can be both empirically and legally justified as a BFOQ and should be established.
