Gebruiken we visuele modellen in (onderwijs en training) gevaar en geweldbeheersing? Zijn deze effectief? Of zorgen ze juist voor ruis en miscommunicatie bij firstresponders en publiek? Hoe kunnen ze wel bijdragen ter ondersteuning van training en communicatie (intern en extern)? De studie van Di Nota geeft vele tips maar laat ook zwakheden zien.
Quote uit het artikel:
“In most cases, police are trained to re‐spond adaptively to dynamic encounters with a variety of force and non‐force options (i.e., verbal communication, non‐verbal body language, positioning), with the goal of de‐ escalating and resolving critical incidents. However, the concurrent use of numerous visual features leads to disproportionate representations of lethal or deadly force encounters and inappropriately conveys linear, progressive, and prescriptive decision‐making. There are challenges to visually (i.e., explicitly) representing complex and implicit knowledge related to UOF decision‐making required by police officers in a static model. Practical de‐ sign challenges are further complicated by the lack of universal definitions of and stand‐ ards for police UOF training [3]. Nonetheless, the insights and recommendations provided in this critical review can contribute meaningfully to the development of evidence‐based training and public communication tools for police UOF decision‐making”.
