Confronting trauma in systematic social observation of the police
In 2015, I embarked on a systematic social observation (SSO) study of police de-escalation tactics, which concluded in spring 2017. This case study offers lessons for students and researchers on conducting SSO studies of police. Additionally, I document my sometimes traumatic experiences on 35 ride-alongs. This case relays theories and practical concepts related to SSO and urges new scholars to consider the emotional and mental risks before embarking on ride-along based research.
