This research proposal seeks to establish the level of police discretion used on duty. The aim is to understand when it is appropriate for police to use discretion and why they abuse their decisions. It focuses on issues related to police discretion while maintaining the responsibility to be ethical, such as racial profiling, socioeconomic status, and excessive use of force. While police discretion can have positive factors, it is also difficult to determine whether it is right for the police to make a decision in certain situations. Police officers are judged excessively for their use of discretion. Depending on the situation, it can be difficult to identify whether an officer is abusing his or her discretion without detection. This is a concern. Their proposed study focuses on citizens' opinions on the amount of discretion afforded to police in conducting criminal investigations. They thought this study could be valuable since discretion is a necessary but difficult aspect of police work since discretion is part of the system afforded to police officers, judges, and prosecutors. Cihan and Wells (2011) wanted to investigate public opinion on the idea of ​​giving individuals in the criminal justice system the ability to make decisions using different variables such as minority civil rights victimization attitudes, arrest experiences, and race. Based on data collected from 1,300 households in America, nearly half of participants believe that police have adequate discretion in conducting criminal investigations. However, these results may vary if you survey individuals based on race, age, and socioeconomic status and combine other variables such as traffic violations rather than variables regarding fear of crime with the police. However, Finckenaruer (1976) used a number of common incidents such as gambling, alcohol, etc. He used vague situations that would not require a course of action to see if they affect police discretion based on certain aspects you describe. Its goal is to discover whether officers enforce their own brand of justice established by their judgment that is influenced by experience or street wisdom versus community expectations of appropriate police discretion. It used 209 participants who were all police recruits undergoing basic training at one of the police training academies in New Jersey. Fickenaruer (1976) found that the use of discretion appears to arise from street wisdom where stereotypes are produced and learned by police officers based on their field experience.
