Session Submission Summary

Current Issues of Police Integrity

Wed, Nov 16, 11:00am to 12:20pm, Hilton, Royal, 3rd Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

Police integrity has been defined as “the normative inclination among police to resist temptations to abuse the rights and privileges of their occupation” (Klockars, Kutnjak Ivković, & Haberfeld, 2006). The four papers on the panel rely on the theory of police integrity and the accompanying methodology to explore the contours of police integrity in the United States. The papers on the panel partly replicate and extend prior work by exploring the influence of individual, organizational, and/or ecological factors on police officers' perceptions of police misconduct.
