Session Submission Summary

Policing Experiences: How they Affect Encounters with Special Classes of Citizens

Thu, Nov 17, 9:30 to 10:50am, Hilton, Chequers, 2nd Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

This panel will specifically address policing from a generational and experiential perspective. We then examine how these officers interact with special classes of citizens; specifically the mentally ill and child crime victims and witnesses. Does the amount of training officers receive relating to trauma affect the level of services provided to the community?
