De Feiten Over Politiegeweld

Lezing door politiesocioloog Jaap Timmer

Three police agents in uniform, one woman and two men, photographed from the back.

Usually this goes well, but videos regularly surface that suggest that officers are overstepping their bounds. What are the police legally allowed to do and not do? How is the use of police force monitored? And what happens when the police cross the line?
