Hello, Given Recent Events And High Student Interest In The Use Of Force By Police

 Hello,

Given recent events and high student interest in the use of force by police officers, this week’s assignment will address question #2 from Questions for Review (p.151) at the end of Chapter 6.

Assignment:

How can a national database of police use of force inform policy and impact such practices?

Issues:

This is a complex question, in that creating a use of force database that informs national policy and practice is not a simple and straightforward endeavor. Issues you may want to consider (you do not have to address every issue listed – just to incite thought):

• definition of use of force
• regional and agency differences
• data entry issues
• detail and use of data
• access to data (public?)
• police unions
• use of force continuums
• funding
• liability
• training
• transparency
• national standardized policy
• internal affairs, etc.

Format:

• Use Word
• Title Page – Topic, Class and your Name
• Approx. 2-3 pages of content – ( a little over is fine – do not exceed 4 pages of content)
• Times New Roman 12 font
• Double spaced
• APA formatting
• Reference Page – a minimum of 2 academic peer reviewed sources (articles, reports, statistics, etc) aside from our text to support your position
