The Force Science Institute (FSI) conducts research, develops education, and provides consultations that support an evidence-based understanding of force encounters. Force Science News is a bi-weekly online publication that informs public safety professionals, attorneys, civic leaders, and community members of relevant research, laws, and current events. Our articles address the application of human performance, police practices, law, and other relevant topics to improve how readers understand and evaluate use-of-force encounters. These articles are frequently republished, cited, and discussed on far-reaching news outlets, third-party publications, and industry-focused podcasts.
Force Science is seeking to hire freelance writers to contribute to Force Science News.
Freelance (Paid per article or assignment)
Pay is a flat rate per article and will be negotiated before publication. Pay will be based on the complexity of the article, the quality of writing, the writer’s experience and education level, and whether the timeline required an expedited submission.
