- Summary:
- Waldron (a retired New Jersey police officer with a doctorate in criminal justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice) examines social and legal influences that affect the decision making processes of police officers in domestic violence incidents in New Jersey. Analyzing self-report surveys of individual police officers answering questions about hypothetical domestic violence situations, he investigates how police officers deviate from established standards set forth by law and by State Attorney General Guidelines, providing comparisons by urban, urban-suburb, large suburban, and small suburban settings.
