“…Second, police officers face rigorous selection procedures prior to undertaking recruit training. These selection processes are designed to ensure that officers have the psychological potential to effectively cope with adverse/challenging events, which they are subsequently trained to deal with within the police role context (Brown & Campbell, 1994; Chan et al, 2003; Goldfarb & Aumiller, 2004). Third, and related to the preceding point, police experience these events within a context of a job that they have been trained to do (Dunning, 2003; Gist & Woodall, 2000).…”

This article presents data from a longitudinal study of adjustment to policing, specifically examining the role played by exposure to traumatic events prior to entry to the profession. This study aims to explore the impact of a prior traumatic experience on the appraisal of potentially traumatizing events experienced within the policing context. Seventy-eight police constables were followed from point of entry until the completion of 12 months of operational duties. The results suggest the experience of a traumatic event prior to joining the police may facilitate positive emotional outcomes from exposure to adverse events on the job. This article is the first to examine the impact of prior traumatic events on adjustment to the demands of policing in a longitudinal context and suggests that the experience of prior traumatic events can have a positive impact on officer's capacity to adapt to the challenges of the police role.

“…These propositions can be grouped into three broad categories: individual, institutional, and systemic explanations (Johnston, 1995). Literature dealing with an individual level of analysis focuses on police candidates, cadets, probationary officers and active officers, and their background characteristics, including their personality characteristics, socio-economic status (SES), and moral stance toward ethical or unethical instances relevant to police corruption (Beck and Lee, 2002; Chan et al, 2003). The individual approach attributes the causes of corruption to the individual and summarizes them in three major categories, namely, the rotten apple, recruitment, and police personality approaches (Banks, 2004).…”

“…Measurement of ethical boundaries, tolerance for corruption, types of corrupt behavior, and integrity level have become routine for practitioners in their attempts to reform a corrupt organization (Ivković, 2003). Most of the studies involve police officers’ perceptions of corruption and focus on organizational aspects of police work, such as length of service, size of the organization, rank, type of police work, and policing context (Klockars et al, 1997), as well as sociodemographic aspects of the study participants, such as race, gender, and educational level (Chan et al, 2003).…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine police cadets’ perceptions of the seriousness of police corruption. This study attempts to explore and delineate a variety of factors that may influence police cadets’ perceptions about some basic types of corruption. A comparison between future supervisors’ and line officers’ perceptions of specific aspects of corruption is lacking. A quantitative research design was used for data collection. The results of this study indicated that there were significant differences in police cadets’ perceptions of the seriousness of corruption based on their parents’ education level, occupation, and income. In addition, the findings revealed that cadets’ sociodemographic background, such as parents’ education level and type of occupation, as well as the cadet’s organizational affiliations, such as their respective police training school, had significant effects on their perceptions of seriousness involving corruption scenarios. This study provided important and useful information for policy-makers and leadership cadres responsible for police training.

“…Implementing policy that focuses on giving the police more powers appears counterproductive as the independent authorities cannot escape the closed culture of induced corruption behaviour from within (Chen, Devery & Doran, 2003) -especially where the independent judiciary are concerned (Stevens, 1993). However, this requires to be seen in the light of the UK Prime Ministers statement that "The Government takes police integrity very seriously.…”
