28,1980  \nVol.14 No.17  \nDeadly Force...  \nPROBABLY THE HOTTEST ISSUEFACING LAW ENFORCEMENT TODAY  \nThe use of deadly force by police officers isprobably the hottest issue facing law enforcementtoday.Nothing can fire the emotions of a com-munity quicker.  \nSeveral events over the last couple of weeksgive strong indication that the U.S.Department ofJustice recognizes the necessity of taking a goodstrong hard look at the problem.  \nOn April 9,Attorney General Benjamin R.Civiletti told the American Society of NewspaperEditors in Washington,\"The subject of police useof deadly force is an extremely important and dif-ficult one.Surprisingly,it hasn't produced a greatdeal of empirical or legal research.Consequently,I directed the Law Enforcement Assistance Admin-istration to solicit bids and plans for a study.Lastfall,awards were granted to the University of Cali-fornia,the International Association of Chiefs ofPolice,the National Urban League and the NationalCouncil of La Raza to study police use of deadlyforce.It is my hope that these studies can providea basis for the promulgation of national guidelinesor standards.To further this goal,I formed withinthe Department of Justice itself a high-level taskforce to review the current body of material andlaws on this subject.This task force will dovetailthe work of the LEAA fund recipients so that wecan act as quickly as possible on any recommenda-tions that will be made.”  \nCriminal Justice experts say a lack of uniformstandards governing police use of deadly force is thechief reason for distrust and bitter disputes betweenpolice and their communities,particularly minorityresidents.  \n(Continued on page two)  \nPage 1  \nIN THIS ISSUE-               \nSPECIAL REPORT-DEADLY FORCE  \nAG Says

by police,the experts noted,but they couldnot reach agreement on why blacks and Hispanicswere killed at a rate disproportionate to their num-bers in the general population.  \nComments by police executives,public offi-cials,criminologists,researchers and representativesof the Department of Justice came at a workshopsponsored by the National Organization of BlackLaw Enforcement Executives(NOBLE)and sup-ported by the National Institute of Justice(NIJ).  \nTheir views are contained in a report,A Com-munity Concern:Police Use of Deadly Force.  \nThe participants agreed that police officersshould discharge their weapons only when the lifeof a police officer or that of another person isendangered,but they offered conflicting explana-tions for the rising number of fatal shootings amongminorities.  \nSome of those explanations included:  \n● An increase of the over-all crime rate,whichplaces more persons in situations where they riskbeing shot at or killed by police.  \n● Absence of a national policy governing fire-arms use by police officers.  \nInsufficient civilian review boards to investi-gate police shootings.  \n● Vague laws in most states.At least 12 stateslack statutes outlining police use of deadly force.  \n● Police use one standard for blacks","cbCaipiSQujes2AY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipiSQujes2AY","pdf",3191152,11,"English","# SPECIAL
