This brief presents a study addressing the impact of a college
degree upon officer use of force. The average American municipal
police academy only requires 26 weeks of training, despite previous
studies showing overwhelming support that college educated police
officers apply more discretion in their use of force than officers
without a college degree. Taking into account contemporary
public/police conflicts and how American perceptions of police are
based largely on officer use of force, this study offers a more
current perspective on the profession's changing dynamic over the
past decade. With data gathered from over 400 officers from 143
distinct municipal police agencies in 6 American states, the study
examines the association between a college education and the level
of force used to gain compliance during arrest situations, and
notes discrepancies between previously studied factors and
contextual variables. This brief will be useful for researchers of
policing and for those involved with police training.
