The Evil Psychology Behind A Cops Uniform And Badge. The Stanford Prison Experiment Revisited



In 1971, a bizarre experiment funded by the US Navy, and carried out in the basement of Stanford U, showed exactly how quickly normal, everyday people can quickly turn into psychotic creeps, just because they are given authority over others. But one of the major findings of the experiment was the effect of the uniform, and in the experiment, a baton and handcuffs. The researchers set up a mock prison in the basement of Standford University's psychology building, and then selected 24 undergraduate students to play the roles of both prisoners and guards. The participants were selected from a larger group of 70 volunteers because they had no criminal background, lacked psychological issues and had no major medical conditions.
