S4 Ep4 – Lucy Davies on how trauma and emotions affect police decision-making

Lucy Davies on how trauma and emotions affect police decision-making

 

Do emotions prompted by experiencing trauma impact police officer behaviour?

 

It’s a question that Lucy Davies, a doctoral researcher for the Open University, intends to answer as part of a new study into the relationship between stress, feelings, and misconduct.

In this episode, she tells host Andrew Simpson and Jamie Thompson, Cheshire Police Federation chairman, why she is interested in this subject and how branch members can assist with her research.

The trio also discuss how the survey’s findings might benefit policing in the future.

If you’re a serving officer and want to know more about the study, or explore the opportunities to participate, then you’ll find further details here.
