Conducted Energy Devices: Policies on Use Evolve To Reflect Research and Field Deployment Experience
Police-on-Police Shootings and the Puzzle of Unconscious Racial Bias
Professor Christopher Stone recently completed a study of police-on-police shootings as part of a task force he chaired in New York State. He reported on his findings and recommendations, exploring the role of race in policing decisions, methods to improve training and tactics to defuse police-on-police confrontations before they become fatal, and methods to improve the investigations of such shootings.
