Learning from Error in Policing

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on a wrongful arrest, this book examines how organizational factors contribute to policing errors, suggesting that latent conditions often set individuals up for failure. By applying organizational accident theory, it highlights that omissions are more likely to lead to mistakes than active errors. The analysis not only dissects the specific case but also offers insights into existing police practices, proposing policy implications and future research directions that could enhance understanding and improve outcomes in law enforcement.
