dc.description.abstract | The aim of this thesis is to explore whether behavioral cues, which are thought to
be predictive of violence, correspond with violent behavior in police-citizen
interactions. The method applied consisted of qualitatively reviewing fifty-six
existing video recordings of actual police encounters and subsequent coding in
NVivo software. Further, the data was transformed and analyzed in a quantitative
manner. Results indicated that a number of behavioral cues correlated with violent
behavior, while no relationship was found between a subset of these behaviors and
violence. Notably, not all suspects who exhibited valid behavioral cues during an
encounter become violent, indicating that a nuanced approach is needed when
evaluating the relevance of such behavior during a given interaction. The results
of this study contribute to a relatively unexplored field of research on behavioral
cues in the context of police-citizen interactions. The findings presented here
suggest that future research on behavioral cues in the context of police-citizen
interactions is warranted. | nb_NO |
