dc.description.abstract |
This paper presents a systematic research review regarding disability sensitivity training
programmes provided to police officers. Thirteen databases between 1980 and 2015
were searched. After records were screened, 19 full-text studies were assessed. Three
studies met the eligibility criteria. Quality appraisal was undertaken using the McMaster
tool. Data were synthesised qualitatively using narrative summaries. Limited evidence for
the effectiveness of training programmes in improving knowledge and skills of police
officers towards people with disabilities exists. This review highlights the need for
custom-designed training with a demonstrated evidence base. Further research should
be conducted to develop, implement and evaluate such programmes. |
