Just Following Orders
  • Atrocities and the Brain Science of Obedience

  • How can obedience and carrying out orders lead to horrific acts such as the Holocaust or the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, or Bosnia? For the most part, it is a mystery why obeying instructions from an authority can convince people to kill other human beings, sometimes without hesitation and with incredible cruelty. Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.

  • Summary

    Evidence based policing has become a key perspective for practitioners and researchers concerned with the future of policing. This book provides both a review of where we stand today with evidence based policing, and consideration of emerging trends and ideas likely to be important in the future of evidence based policing. It includes comparative and international contributions, as well as researcher and practitioner perspectives. While emphasizing traditional evidence based methods and approaches, the book also identifies barriers to the advancement of evidence based policing. It also expands the vision of evidence based policing by critically examining ethical and moral concerns and questions. The book’s main focus is not on what has to happen in police agencies to advance EBP, but rather on an issue that has received far less attention - the science that is necessary to produce for EBP to be successfully integrated into policing.
