Professor Maria Haberfeld, chair of the Department of Law, Police Science and Criminal Justice Administration recently published an op-ed, titled “Why did Ferguson Police Need Six Bullet?,” in the CNN.com Opinion section. In the piece, Professor Haberfeld calls for a national standard in training police on the use of deadly force that goes beyond the correct handling of weapons and is developed by “experts in the field of police studies, sociology, psychology and physiology.”
