We conducted a randomized‐controlled trial (RCT) of a social interaction training program to determine its effectiveness in improving attitudes and behaviors among police officers. Survey data and a series of difference‐in‐difference tests found that participating in the training program improved attitudes with treatment group officers placing higher priorities on procedurally fair communication during a hypothetical officer–citizen encounter. An interrupted time‐series analysis of official use‐of‐force reports provided no evidence that the training program altered officer behavior.

社交互动警察培训的随机对照试验

我们进行了一项社交互动训练计划的随机对照试验（RCT），以确定其在改善警务人员态度和行为方面的有效性。调查数据和一系列差异测试发现，参加培训计划的态度得到了改善，治疗组人员在假想的官员与公民的相遇中将程序公正的沟通放在了更高的优先级。官方使用武力报告的时间序列分析中断，没有证据表明培训计划改变了军官的行为。
