Police use of force has been the focus of a number of external assessments of the occupation for over 50 years. Recent concerns have, once again, prompted calls for additional research on the correlates of this behavior, especially as it relates to officer use of force mindset. Relying on a framework articulated as part of a use of force symposium of academics and practitioners, the current study utilizes survey and behavioral data from officers in six police agencies to examine dimensions of use of force mindset among officers, and the degree to which attitudinal mindset influences use of force behavior. The implications for police scholarship and practice are discussed.

50 多年来，警察使用武力一直是对该占领进行多项外部评估的重点。最近的担忧再次促使人们呼吁对这种行为的相关性进行进一步研究，尤其是当它与军官使用武力的心态有关时。依靠作为学者和实践者使用武力研讨会的一部分而阐明的框架，本研究利用来自六个警察机构的警官的调查和行为数据来检查警官使用武力心态的维度，以及态度心态的程度影响使用武力的行为。讨论了对警察学术和实践的影响。
