Throughout the years experts have struggled to define the term
"police culture." For most this label means a reactive approach to
keeping people safe by using punitive consequences to punish or
detain the perpetrators. The result: More attention is given to the
negative reactive side of policing than a positive proactive
approach to preventing crime by cultivating an interdependent
culture of residents looking out for the safety, health, and
well-being of each other. We believe police officers can play a
critical and integral role in achieving such a community of
compassion---an Actively Caring for People (AC4P) culture. An AC4P
culture can be fueled by AC4P Policing, and involves a paradigm
shift regarding the role and impact of "consequences." With AC4P
Policing, consequences are used to increase the quantity and
improve the quality of desired behavior. Police officers are
educated about the rationale behind using more positive than
negative consequences to manage behavior, and then they are trained
on how to deliver positive consequences in ways that help to
cultivate interpersonal trust and AC4P behavior among police
officers and the citizens they serve. This teaching/learning
process is founded on seven research-based lessons from
psychology---the science of human experience. The first three
lessons reflect the critical behavior-management fundamentals of
positive reinforcement, observational learning, and behavior-based
feedback. The subsequent four lessons are derived from humanism,
but behaviorism or ABS is essential for bringing these humanistic
principles to life. The result: humanistic behaviorism to enhance
long-term positive relations between police officers and the
citizens they serve, thereby preventing interpersonal conflict,
violence, and harm.
