Summary Of State-Created Danger By Jeffrey J. Noble

Some officers could allow their anger and adrenaline interfere with their professional judgement. This is sometimes done by exerting excessive force for personal gratification.

Training ranges from “firearms to physical defensive training” (ARCS Federal, 2015). Initially, police officers were using the Use of Force continuums to determine which level of force would be applied from the suspect’s actions (Johnston, 2015). However, the continuums caused problems for police officers in court because the court and police officers had different viewpoints about whether the Use of Force tactic used was reasonable. This specific pitfall, one of seven, led law enforcement agencies to analyze Use of Force situations from the FLETC approach. Also, the FLETC approach made sure police officers “based their decisions upon the same criteria that will be used by the courts to

The rules of deadly force have continued to change since the inception of the Constitution. At one point, police were given the authority to fire on a fleeing felon even if they were not armed with a weapon. Today 's police officers receive significantly more training so that civil act violations and excessive uses of force may be prevented, but even with the extra training, police officers still act in this unruly manner. Every police department in America has experienced some type of misconduct, but not all have experienced a civil rights or police brutality violation. In my opinion, many of these incidents took place because of the lack of training that was provided to these officers.

Moreover, this type of issue has been sighted throughout history, although some negative police force cases falsely informed of the higher power. Such as cases from ancient times where laws did not apply to them. As this progressed, worsening through the 1800’s to the late 1900’s, the wrongly using the police force has affected many including the community’s trust in the Justice system. One such case titled as, Escobedo v. Illinois, where a law enforcement arrested a suspect for obtaining a confession to a previous murder, in which they undoubtedly ignored telling the suspect about is right to remain silent or the right to have a consultation with his attorney. Providing using methods as “....they confronted him with an alleged accomplice who accused him of having perpetrated a murder…”

For instance, there is less financing for training programmes, which can have a negative effect on the performance of officers and how they respond to events. This is significant because if the police handle circumstances in an unprofessional manner or are unsure of what to do at a given level, then cases may be badly impacted, hence decreasing public faith in the police. Austerity's Impact on Education in the Police Austerity has had a considerable impact on training in the United Kingdom, leading to the cancellation of courses, a reduction of specialised training opportunities, and a decrease in training resources for Police forces (GOV.UK, n.d.). The College of Policing has aimed to support Police Forces to provide all officers with the necessary training and equipment to do their duties as proficiently as feasible (Support for Forces | College of Policing, 2023).

Police officers enforce laws, but also held to those same laws they are enforcing on a daily basis. Laws influence how police behave and how to handle some situations. While also telling them how they can and cannot act. Some author’s feel this influence from the law may be why officers, “run roughshod over legal restrictions on such activities as searches and seizures” (Herbert, 1998; Chambliss, 1994; McBarnet, 1979). Officers are rarely supervised while on patrol and if they are, it is by a fellow officer rather than a superior officer.

Police work is a hazardous employment, and police are more than prone to be put into circumstances when extreme compel is needed. But, occasionally police utilize over the top constrain for their very own reasons, for example, prejudice. The issue of cops utilizing unreasonable constrain could be an extraordinary concern, however it should be investigated by both the police and general society. Since a few officers utilize inordinate compel in circumstances when it is not required, police severity ought to be tended to. Some may feel as though over the top drive is required when managing the alleged criminal.

Amy B. Wang and Kristine Phillips question the choices the Weirton Police Department in West Virginia made on the career of Stephen Mader, who recently lost his job after he hesitates to shoot, in their article, “‘Just shoot me,’ an armed man told a cop. The officer didn’t and was fired, his lawsuit claimed.” On May 6, 2016, Stephen Mader received a domestic dispute call, and “once on the scene, he encountered a “visibly distraught” man named Ronald J. Williams.” ( Mader tries to convince the man to lower his gun, but Williams refuses; therefore, when Williams raised his gun, another officer killed him. A month later, Mader was fired for not following the police department 's procedures.

How would one feel if he were discriminated against only because the context in which he was in makes it “reasonable” to do so? Some may say that our lives revolve around our own judgements and therefore it is necessary to take every possible precaution to ensure our own safeties. However, such action would often result in preconceived opinion and discriminations against races. For this reason, “objectively reasonable fear” is not justified.

Officers were informed that they are allowed to justify their stops by pointing out the prevalence of drugs and violence in the community. This loophole allows officers to stop anyone in an area that falls under that category. Overall, Moskos and other trainees thought “the overall approach of the academy as ineffective” and that what was to come next was more informative and realistic of the duty of an officer (pg

How does police brutality impact our society you ask? Statistics say From April 2009 to June 2010 In the United States there was 5986 reports of misconduct from a police officer that has been recorded. 382 Fatalities were linked To Police Misconduct. $347,455,000 Had been spent in related settlements and judgements.

The public has a misconception that deadly force is the same thing as excessive force. They can be similar if the police use deadly force to a point where every officer discharges their entire magazine on person when the threat has been eliminated. Officers receive hours of training on how to shoot a gun, but sometime receive little instruction on how to determine when to use the gun. Training starts in the Police Academy, and continues throughout their careers. There are officers who teach and train the departments every month.

Introduction Ever since I was a little boy I heard from my parents and family members that police officers are the most scariest person on earth they usually jolts us by stories which was a way to discipline us, the concept of police officers at that time was reflected as your worst nightmare ever encounter which is a lowest standard that depicted ages ago. Nowadays it’s different as for the Samoan saying “Ua ao Samoa” Everything has come into light, people starting to know and expose to the law and its functionality, that’s why it is essential for the Samoa Police Service to step up and improve its standards. Excessive force and police inhumaneness have mutual terms for anyone keeping up with today’s existing events, the use of force is inescapable in police work. In many circumstances the lives of officers or civilians can be seize by not using force when necessary or using it improperly. Many issues come into composition when an officer chooses to use force.

Fear is the number one reason police officers give for hesitating in a crisis. But, it is not fear for themselves. Some of the reasons many officers cite for hesitation is fear of litigation; loss of their job and pension; investigation by Internal Affairs; or of possible criminal action against themselves. There are many factors that can lead to an officer hesitating in the kill zone. Any hesitation in a crisis can potentially cost an officer his or her life, or it could cost the life of the alleged perpetrator or even an innocent bystander.

The consequences in terms of department morale, reputation, and community relations are upsetting to bear any longer. The memo is clear; it is no longer tolerable for police divisions to operate without accountability or with impunity. Police executives ought to strive to advance the policing field incessantly along a course of professionalization (“Addressing police misconduct,” 2001). Police Misconduct throughout America has led to department to be retrained, reformed, restructured and some have been tarnished nation wide to to some bad decisions in policing leading to
