Which factor(s) do you think has/have the greatest influence on predicting police decision

making?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Answers will vary. Students may suggest that since organizational factors and possibilities are somewhat known to the officer before he or she is hired, they are the least likely to have strong effects. Some may feel that the situations in which the officer finds him- or herself are most important, regardless of the time of day and other factors. Some may argue that the neighborhood is part of the situation and should not be distinguished. Some may say that strong individual characteristics in the officer's personality will carry over into all situations.
