Average Course Rating

(-1)

A forensic psychologist and SWAT team leader evaluate split second decisions employed by police who use deadly force. Police shootings, and the media report of police use of deadly force against black males, has contributed to a further deterioration of police community relationships. Relying on case studies, we will focus on how police officer decisions concerning deadly force are made, what cause bad decisions, and whether specific training can improve decision making.
