Hi Everyone, the above question is the basis of my final assignment in my Policing and Society Module, due for submission by close of business on Friday 14 May.
Any last minute tips or sources or fresh research would be welcome.
Kind regards,
Liam

Normally, in many countries - in Spain of course - both the Police and all those who have to carry and handle weapons are psychologically recognized and screened before entering their respective Academies and, then, they have to undergo periodic psychophysical examinations; In this sense, although the system is not infallible, it is sufficiently valid and operational; Similarly, if due to a special circumstance (suffering an important and destabilizing life event, suffering a depressive situation, etc.) the subject is perceived to be unstable, the weapon is also withdrawn, even temporarily; the same happens if they have acted in an especially authoritarian, prejudiced or similar manner, a hint of torture or non-respect for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ... thus, Spain is one of the countries in the world with the least police violence and where its Armed Forces and Security Forces are better valued, as guarantors of Constitutional Order, Human Rights and Peace (having demonstrated this with hundreds of fallen in International Peace and Humanitarian Aid Missions)
