Concerns about targeted violence against police are rising in an era of strained community relations, struggles with police legitimacy, and anti-government extremism. Yet little research has examined ambush attacks as a specific and directed form of violence against police. This study addresses that gap in the literature through a mixed-methods examination of ambush attacks against law enforcement. Its four major lines of inquiry are qualitative analysis of police perspectives on ambushes, analysis of ambush attack incidents and survivability, investigation of the community and departmental characteristics associated with ambush attacks, and a survey of organizational learning practices in the aftermath of ambushes. This represents the first substantive research in 30 years focused on civilian ambush attacks on police and presents recommendations for next steps and additional research.By George Fachner, Zoe ThorkildsenCategories: Police OperationsLanguage: EnglishPublic linkhttps://portal.cops.usdoj.gov/resourcecenter?item=cops-p340Click here to see the entire catalog.Cart:Download PDFWeb • Oct 2015Search catalogreset title abstract authors contentContaining text: exact phraseNot containing text: exact phraseLanguage:anyEnglishSpanishHmongVietnameseCategory:anyAlternatives to IncarcerationCommunity PartnershipsData and AnalysisEthics and IntegrityFoundations of Community PolicingHiring, Recruitment, and RetentionHomeland SecurityNew Immigrant CommunitiesNonviolent CrimeOtherPolice OperationsPOP Center ResourceSchool and Campus SafetyTechnologyTribalViolent CrimeYouth SafetyPublished after:Published before:Page1
