Problem
When reviewing the literature concerning police use of force you will
find ample research on the personal or psychological, organizational, and
situational explanatory variable. What you will not find is research that
questions which policies may reduce or increase deaths in police use of force
incidents
Comments
The problem was clearly stated in both the Abstract and
Introduction of the paper. Additionally, factors that contribute to the
problem were provided.
Review of Literature
The author's review of the literature was thorough and relevant to the
problem. They
, gave a brief background on what literature already exists on the explanation
for the use of deadly force. The literature was then narrowed to focus on
specific factors. The author used this information to make an informed
hypothesis on some of the factors that may affect the rate at which deadly
force occurs.
Objectives
The study sought to combine data on gun deaths on police officers in
the United States and use the research to determine if specific policies are
associated with lower or higher rates of officer-involved gun deaths.
Comments
The objective was clear and the study stayed on track. The
hypotheses’ were clear and testable and would accurately test the
problem presented.
Hypothesis
The research tested three hypotheses to determine if specific factors
would affect the rate of deadly force used by police officers with the main
hypothesis seeking to determine if specific policies in police departments
decrease the use of deadly force among its’ officers.
Comments
A clear explanation as to why each hypothesis was made is
presentable. They are all testable with the previous literature and
planned study.
