This book gives an overview of the empirical research regarding
police discretionary decision-making worldwide through 2022 by
means of a scoping review. In total, eleven databases were searched
and 15,193 publications have been assessed in terms of relevance
for this topic, with 1,563 of these being assessed more thoroughly.
The shortlist consists of 526 publications. It answers the
following questions: What is the amount of available research
concerning police decision-making and what are its characteristics?
How and where is police decision-making studied? Which crime
phenomena are studied? Which types of decisions are studied? Which
factors impact police discretion? Overall, the scoping review
summarizes the available empirical research on police discretion
and helps understand police decision-making processes. These
findings are then used to discuss the current scholarship and give
recommendations concerning research (e.g. which decision-making
processes/decisions are currently lacking in research, which
factors need to be explored further, which research methods can be
utilized more frequently) and police practice (i.e. how to support
police officers in their decision-making and optimize these
decision-making processes).
