Much of this research has explored the factors that affect police decision-making and, thus, how police discretion is used. Discretion has various advantages as it provides the opportunity for flexible decision-making but, at the same time, it could result in intuitive, ad hoc decisions and ultimately lead to inequalities in the provision of police services. As such, it is necessary to understand how police officers make decisions and which factors have an impact on this. In 2023, a scoping review was published that aimed to map the empirical research on police decision-making with a main focus on identifying the factors that affect police decisions (Feys, 2023). This scoping review was part of a course on policing at Ghent University. In total, 11 databases were searched for relevant literature. This yielded 15,193 results. Of these results, 2,271 titles were found to be potentially relevant. After a thorough selection procedure, 526 publications were retained for further analyses. This blog provides an overview of the main findings of the scoping review, focusing on the characteristics of the empirical literature and the factors that were identified to affect police decision-making.
