Research conducted in the Police Research Lab explores how psychology can contribute to various police activities. Currently, researchers in the PRL conduct research in four primary areas: (1) evidence-based policing, (2) police de-escalation and use of force, (3) police responses to people in crisis, particularly mental health crises; and (4) the reliability, validity, and usefulness of psychologically-based investigative techniques. Please check out the lab website for more details.
