“…For instance, discretion was exclusively studied in regard to stress and violence: all three studies identified in this scoping review (Noppe, 2016a;Noppe and Verhage, 2017;Verhage et al, 2018) were also identified in the scoping review regarding police violence.

PurposeThis article provides an overview of the latest empirical research regarding police decision-making in Belgium from 2000 to 2021 in terms of methodology and general findings (e.g. types and year of publication, topics studied). Recommendations are given concerning police research and the development of a research agenda.Design/methodology/approachFourteen separate and limited scoping reviews regarding police decision-making topics were carried out by students in criminology and law. All scoping reviews followed the same procedure.FindingsSeventy-nine unique publications are included in the analyses. These show that police violence is most frequently studied, whereas violence against the police was only included in one publication. Empirical research on bodycams and (social) media was not found. Most of the studies followed a quantitative research design, mainly by means of secondary data analysis.Research limitations/implicationsThe scoping reviews are limited in scope and were carried out by different students, potentially leading to variable interpretations and selections. Additionally, the conclusions are partly the result of the developed review protocols (e.g. keywords, databases).Originality/valueThis article combines 14 different scoping reviews, following the same procedure, on subtopics regarding police decision-making and thus enabling comparison of the literature found in a consistent way.

“…In many cases, ethics training is presented as a stand-alone module rather than being integrated throughout the curriculum. While there is evidence to indicate that training has a positive impact on integrity-related attitudes (Antrobus et al, 2019;Van Droogenbroeck et al, 2019), other studies suggest that recruits report high moral standards when they begin their academy training and that the effects of training are minimal (Blumberg et al, 2016;De Schrijver & Maesschalck, 2015).…”

The objective of this study was to examine changes in American recruits’ perceptions of the seriousness of behaviors related to police integrity from the beginning to the end of their academy training. Using a sample of 655 recruits from multiple academies in the United States, multilevel growth models were used. The results showed that the recruits rated scales related to misconduct, code of silence, and a noble cause less seriously at the end than at the beginning of their training. The results also showed that ethics training mitigated the effects of socialization, while organizational injustice intensified the effects of socialization. Female recruits rated the behaviors more seriously at the beginning and the end of training compared to male recruits. The results confirm the role of the academy in socializing officers into the negative aspects of the traditional police culture and highlight important avenues for police reform.

“…Studies utilizing police officers as respondents find that expectations that other police officers would report misconduct are very closely associated with the police officers' own expressed willingness to report (e.g. Hickman et al, 2016;Kutnjak Ivkovi c et al, 2018Lim and Sloan, 2016;Long et al, 2013;Porter and Prenzler, 2016;Van Droogenbroeck et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThis study examines the effects of diffuse support for the police, specific support for the police, experience with the police, and demographic characteristics on citizens' own expressed willingness to report police misconduct. The authors surveyed immigrants from Croatia who now reside in Germany and Ireland to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the relative role these factors play in regard to immigrants' willingness to report misconduct in Croatia.Design/methodology/approachThe study, based on a survey of 358 Croatian immigrants to Germany and 226 Croatian immigrants to Ireland, utilizes multivariate logistic regression models that assess factors affecting the respondents' expressed willingness to report police misconduct in their homeland and their current countries of residence.FindingsThe authors' multivariate models reveal that diffuse support for the police (e.g. confidence in the police and perceptions of widespread police corruption) plays a strong and significant role in explaining the respondents' willingness to report misconduct in the authors' initial models. However, the direct effect of the diffuse support completely disappears in most of the models once scenario-specific police integrity measures (e.g. views of expected discipline severity and estimates whether police officers would report misconduct) are included as well. With the exception of age, other demographic characteristics and contact with the police were not systematically and significantly related to the respondents' willingness to report.Originality/valueThis is the first empirical study to provide an in-depth exploration of various factors associated with the citizens' willingness to report police misconduct.
