“…The purpose of the in-depth background investigation was to verify applicant information and to check if they had committed any war crimes during the conflict and/or human rights offences and other forms of misconduct after the conflict (Orsini 2003). Some suspect that up to 20 percent of the police force lied on their applications, reinforcing the need for these detailed background checks (ICG 2002).…”

“…As a result of these efforts, minorities comprise 15.5 percent of the Federation force and 4.9 percent of the RS force (Orsini 2003). Additionally, 450 female officers are employed by the BiH police and 170 are in training (United Nations 2002.…”

“…As a result, two agreements were subsequently reached with each entity that detailed the size and process by which entity police forces were to reduce and restructure their personnel. 1 The Bosniac Federation and the Republika Srpska (RS) agreed to reduce their police forces to 11,500 and 8,500 officers, respectively (HRW 1998;Orsini 2003). To filter out unsuitable candidates, both restructuring agreements required officers to reapply for their positions 'whereby those guilty of incompetence, corruption or abuse are expunged' (Bair and Dziedzic 1998: 7).…”

“…In 1997, the IPTF, with assistance from the NATO-led Stabilization Force (SFOR), inspected police agencies and confiscated contraband. 2 By 1998, the monitoring efforts of the IPTF began to coalesce with the implementation of over 1700 monitors (1 for every 30 officers) in 54 field offices located near BiH police stations (Dziedzic and Bair 1998;Orsini 2003). Most monitoring functions occurred during joint patrols in which IPTF monitors observed police activities and advised officers in their work (Diamond, personal communication, 2004).…”

A B S T R A C TThe international community has invested considerable resources in reforming the police in post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). This paper develops a typology of integrity problems in the BiH and measures the level of integrity among the police in the Sarajevo canton. The typology consists of six forms of police misconduct; it suggests the presence of serious and pervasive integrity problems. In 2003, 451 police officers evaluated nine scenarios describing police corruption and one describing the use of excessive force. Police officers' evaluations of the seriousness of the police misconduct illustrated by these scenarios were directly related to their opinions about appropriate discipline. The results also indicate that the code of silence provides stronger protection for the acceptance of gratuities and use of excessive force than for opportunistic thefts and shakedowns.

We study the integrity contours of two police in Eastern Europe that have experienced dramatically different democratic transitions. The democratic transition and reform of the police in the Czech Republic was largely self-imposed and occurred with relatively low levels of violence. Conversely, the experience in Bosnia and Herzegovina involved a war resulting in outside intervention and reform efforts orchestrated by the international community. The goal of this article is not only to review reforms of the Czech and Bosnian police in the context of and Kutnjak Ivković's organizational theory of police integrity but also to empirically measure the extent of integrity among the police in both countries. We survey 604 Czech police officers and 451 Bosnian police officers regarding their opinions about the seriousness of police corruption, the appropriate punishment such misconduct deserves and would receive, and their willingness to report misconduct.
