Using the Police Craft to Improve Patrol Officer Decision-Making

Using the Police Craft to Improve Patrol Officer Decision-Making

James J. Willis; Heather Toronjo

Cambridge University Press
2023
pokkari
In this Element we build on our previous work conceptualizing a craft learning model for governing police discretion. We envision a model for harnessing patrol officers' craft knowledge and skills, learned through experience handling similar street-level encounters over time, to the development of standards for evaluating the quality of their decision-making. To clarify the logic of this model and its potential for police reform, we situate it within the context of other systems of discretion control, including law, bureaucracy, science, and the community. We also consider obstacles. We conclude that police organizations need to balance the different strategies for channeling and controlling discretion toward the goal of advancing more transparent and principled decision-making. The challenge is finding a balance that helps prevent arbitrary, pernicious, or uncompromising uses of police authority, but that also empowers and rewards officers for using the skills of perception and resourcefulness that contribute to wise judgment.

Ohio's Historic Haunts

Ohio's Historic Haunts

James A. Willis

Kent State University Press
2015
nidottu
Ohio's premier paranormal researcher looks for the spirits behind the stories Many of Ohio's historically significant locations have developed a reputation for being haunted. While it might be almost impossible to prove the validity of the paranormal tales that surround them, one thing is clear: ghost stories help to keep history alive. But the questions remain: How did these stories get started? More important, are any of them tied directly to actual historic events? And do any facts support the ghost lore?Rather than rely on second- and third-person accounts, author and paranormal researcher James A. Willis sat down with the owners, employees, and patrons of Ohio locations that are said to be haunted - the Arts Castle in Delaware, the Fairport Harbor Marine Museum, the Haunted Hydro in Fremont, Loveland Castle, the Merry-Go-Round Museum in Sandusky, the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, the Zanesville Community Theatre, and many others. After conducting more than 200 hours of one-on-one interviews, Willis was able to piece together unique histories for each location, including eyewitness accounts from people who believed they experienced paranormal activity.But Willis wasn't content to stop with first-person accounts. He also brought high-tech "ghost-hunting" equipment into each location and spent a night attempting to collect empirical data to see if he could experience a paranormal encounter himself. What were the results of these vigils? You'll have to read the book to find out! Come along on a journey with Willis as he travels to the crossroads where history and folklore collide, and visit the fascinating Ohio locations where the past comes alive - in more ways than one!

When James H. Willis III was only fifteen years old, family circumstances left him without the only home he had ever known. He was on his own, and he wasn't sure what to do-he just knew he had to survive. The young teen spent part of his adolescence living in a tree in the woods. Yet Willis never gave up hope. He spent every day going to school and working. Despite not having a support system, Willis persevered. His strong spirit and unwillingness to give up helped him get through the next eight years of his life, but that wasn't enough. There was still something missing from his soul. At the age of twenty-three, Willis had another important and powerful transformation. It was this moment that completely changed his life. He learned to listen to the Lord's voice and trust that God loved him and had a plan for him. Willis made the choice to follow God on his spiritual journey forward, and it was the best decision he ever made. As Willis recounts this amazing moment in his life, he gives you insight and advice you can take on your own spiritual journey and as you work through your own problems. His "spiritual growth steps" will help you form a deeper and stronger relationship with God
