dc.description.abstractIndividuals who are deaf or hard of hearing often encounter communication difficulties, and this can make them particularly vulnerable in the case of a police stop. There are examples of tragic misunderstandings, including fatalities, due largely to a lack of police training. Encountering an officer is often charged with anxiety and uncertainty, and there is potential for an officer to react without understanding. This project examines evolving police policies, reviews existing training for officers on the topic of deafness, and considers strategies to raise awareness and understanding for both the Deaf community and police officers.en_US
