Arrest research is a field of study that focuses on understanding the factors that influence the decision-making process of law enforcement officers when deciding to arrest an individual. Researchers in this area examine various aspects of the arrest process, including the characteristics of the individual being arrested, the behavior of the individual, the presence of witnesses, and the legal and social context in which the arrest occurs. The goal of arrest research is to improve the understanding of how arrests are made and to identify any potential biases or deficiencies in the arrest process. This research can help inform law enforcement policies and practices to ensure that arrests are made fairly and effectively.
