Abstract

This book gives an overview of the empirical research regarding police discretionary decision-making worldwide through 2022 by means of a scoping review. In total, eleven databases were searched and 15,193 publications have been assessed in terms of relevance for this topic, with 1,563 of these being assessed more thoroughly. The shortlist consists of 526 publications. It answers the following questions: What is the amount of available research concerning police decision-making and what are its characteristics? How and where is police decision-making studied? Which crime phenomena are studied? Which types of decisions are studied? Which factors impact police discretion? Overall, the scoping review summarizes the available empirical research on police discretion and helps understand police decision-making processes. These findings are then used to discuss the current scholarship and give recommendations concerning research (e.g. which decision-making processes/decisions are currently lacking in research, which factors need to be explored further, which research methods can be utilized more frequently) and police practice (i.e. how to support police officers in their decision-making and optimize these decision-making processes).

Abstract

Whenever police officers come into contact with citizens there is a chance that the encounter will digress to one in which force is used on a suspect. Fortunately, most police activities do not involve the use of force. But those that do reflect important patterns of interaction between the officer and the citizen. This book examines those patterns. It begins with a brief survey of prior research, and then goes on to present data and findings. Among the data are the force factor applied - that is, the level of force used relative to suspect resistance - and data on the sequential order of incidents of force. The authors also examine police use of force from the suspect's perspective. In analyzing this data they put forward a conceptual framework, the Authority Maintenance Theory, for examining and assessing police use of force.

Abstract

Handelen of niet? Op welke manier en in welke mate? Alle handhavers worden in hun dagelijks werk met deze vraag geconfronteerd. Politie, bijzondere inspectie-diensten, bijzondere opsporingsambtenaren en gemeenschapswachten. Handhavingswerk, en politiewerk in het bijzonder, gebeurt binnen een welomlijnd kader van wet- en regelgeving en – theoretisch gezien – zou de interactie met de burger ook vanuit dat kader verlopen. In de praktijk wordt het dagelijks handhavingswerk echter slechts gedeeltelijk door regels geleid en bestaat er zoiets als ‘discretionaire ruimte’. Dit is de handelingsmarge of beslissingsvrijheid die frontlijnwerkers bezitten om zinvol en professioneel te handelen. Discretionaire ruimte wordt niet altijd als positief ervaren: te weinig sturing op die ruimte zou zorgen voor te veel beslissingsmarge en leiden tot ongelijke behandeling van burgers, willekeur, rechtsongelijkheid en ten slotte rechtsonzekerheid. Toch heeft een ruime handelingsvrijheid ook positieve kanten. Op maat en oplossingsgericht werken, beide kenmerken van gemeenschapsgerichte politiezorg, wordt mogelijk en de ambtenaar neemt zelf zijn verantwoordelijkheid.
