The United States Supreme Court case of Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985) provides an excellent example of the policy process. Explain to the class how the decision of the Supreme Court changed the use of force guidelines for police agencies across the United States. Have students apply the policy process using the Garner case or another Supreme Court case that affected police practices, such as Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966) or Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989). Students should identify the case, the policy, and effects.
