Police Oracle 29/1/2025 News Examining the impacts of state-wide reform on police attitudes and perceptions in New Jersey New Jersey has enacted one of the most ambitious police use of force reduction initiatives, requiring all law enforcement officers to participate in de-escalation training and peer intervention training. To assess the impacts of the mandatory use of force training programs, we collected survey responses from officers before and after training, resulting in responses between N = 12,623 and N = 17,036 officers. Descriptive and bivariate analyses show several positive and significant changes. We find that officers are highly receptive to these mandated training programs. Further, we find that participation in the training results in significant shifts in officers’ attitudes and perceptions that align with each program’s tenets, suggesting these curricula can alter officers’ outlooks to support safe, effective interactions with community members. This study offers one of the few accounts of police officers’ receptivity to state-mandated use-of-force training, contributing to the growing evidence base on the impact of police training. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice - Subscription at source 29/1/2025 Research article Problem officers and problem behavior: on the object of early intervention systems The development, refinement, and assessment of early intervention (EI) systems for police misconduct turn on the conceptualization and operationalization of problem behavior. Recent research has applied different conceptualizations and operationalizations of problem behavior: behavior that results in involuntary separation or severe discipline, or a single “adverse event.” These constructs have the virtue of enabling measurement in terms of data that are normally available. However, their correspondence to problem behavior is questionable, raising the prospect that program development would be misdirected. In this paper we assess and compare these two definitions of problem behavior against a third: officers who meet an early intervention system threshold and are determined upon review to warrant intervention. We analyze the congruence of the three operationalizations and the patterns of risk-related outputs associated with officers thusly categorized through the operation of two agencies’ systems. We draw lessons for the further development of EI systems.
