Police Oracle - Subscription at source 5/3/2025 News Civilian “Emotionally Disturbed Person”-Informational Frames and Judgments of Police Use of Force The public’s views about mental illness and substance abuse issues can influence their views regarding police interactions with civilians experiencing those types of emotional and behavioral issues. Furthermore, videos showing confrontations between a police officer and an emotionally disturbed person (EDP) can be controversial, particularly regarding the officer’s use of force. In two experiments, participants viewed a video depicting a confrontation between an officer and a civilian and were asked if the officer used excessive force. The study was designed to examine whether informational frames preceding police officer-civilian confrontation videos can influence how participants perceived the video and ultimately made decisions about the officer’s use of force. Two types of informational frames were examined in the present study: civilian EDP- and police warning-informational frames. Experiment 1 examined whether civilian EDP-informational frames affected judgments of police use of force. Information about the civilian in the video was varied: participants were either informed the civilian had a substance abuse issue, mental illness, or nothing (no EDP information control). Experiment 2 examined whether civilian EDP- and police warning-informational frames influenced judgments of police use of force. Participants were either told the officer was informed about the civilian’s behavior, the officer was not informed about the civilian’s behavior, or nothing (no warning information control). Results revealed an interaction between EDP- and police warning-informational frames on judgments of police use of force. The findings have implications for methods that attend media release of confrontation videos depicting police officer and EDPs.
