What the study reports
Research within Belgian policing on how stress affects use-of-force decision-making, combining measurement of stress response with decision outcomes.
The PROMACHOS reading
Force decisions are made by a physiologically compromised person. Any protection curriculum that ignores that is teaching an imaginary version of the event.
This work was produced by its authors and published in the journal named above. PROMACHOS did not conduct this research, holds no interest in its findings, and provides this summary for educational use only. Read the source before relying on it.
