Excerpt
Excerpt: Discussed in this Brief: Research exploring police officers’ understanding of agency rules concerning police misconduct and the extent of their support for these rules. The survey also considered officers’ opinions about appropriate punishment for misconduct, their familiarity with the expected disciplinary threat, their perceptions of disciplinary fairness, and their willingness to report misconduct. The results of this survey have important implications for researchers and policymakers, as well as for police practitioners. Key issues: Until recently, most studies of police corruption were based on a traditional administrative approach- one that views the problem of corruption primarily as a reflection of the moral defects of individual police officers. This research, however, is based on the organizational theory of police corruption, which emphasizes the importance of organizational and occupational culture.
