Compare and contrast screening-out and screening-in.
What will be an ideal response?
Screening-out procedures try to eliminate those applicants who appear to be poorly suited for work in law enforcement. Screening-out procedures are those most commonly used by police psychologists when screening police candidates.Screening-in procedures,on the other hand, are intended to identify those attributes that distinguish one job applicant as being potentially a more effective officer than another. Implicit in this approach is the ability to rank-order applicants, allowing agencies to select the top candidates from a pool that passed the initial screening procedures. This approach assumes that there are traits, habits, reactions, and attitudes that distinguish an outstanding officer from a satisfactory one.
