Policing Insight - Registration at source 27/12/2023 Feature, Innovation, Interview Police use-of-force self-efficacy: an antidote to the Ferguson effect? Research has consistently shown that officers’ perceptions of deteriorated relationships with the public are associated with physical and emotional disengagement with their work. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this ‘Ferguson Effect’ has also contributed to reluctance to use necessary physical force in the course of their duties, leading to compromises for officer safety and public safety. This study has two objectives: first, it is the only study to systematically assess the claim that apprehensiveness to use force is associated with perceptions of community support; second, it examines whether use-of-force self-efficacy reduces apprehensiveness to use force. Using OLS regression of officer surveys from 4,000 police officers in a Southeastern U.S. state, we find support for both hypotheses, as well as evidence of interaction effects. We identify several practical implications for agency leaders, and further encourage the development of use-of-force self-efficacy as a substantively and theoretically meaningful concept for researchers.

CBC News (Canada) 26/12/2023 News Organizational, Operational, and Demographic Predictors of Burnout in Police Officers with and without a Bachelor’s Degree As of 2019, the Police Executive Research Forum released a report recognizing that most law enforcement agencies in the U.S. were “sensing a crisis” where officer retention and hiring were concerned. At the same time, the role of the American police officer has been called into question with high profile incidents, such as the killing of George Floyd in 2020, and the protests and discussions that ensued. The result is that police departments would likely benefit from hiring and retaining people who are trainable in traditional police subjects, but who also have an educational background that would allow them to be well-suited for new tasks that officers are being called to perform. The current paper examines differences in operational and organizational predictors of burnout in officers with and without a bachelor’s degree. Implications for policing agencies and universities who teach current and future officers are discussed.
