Exploring Police Integrity

Abstract

This chapter provides a systematic overview of the extant research on police integrity and explores the ways the original theory and methodology have been used and expanded. The analysis is based on an up-to-date review of the police integrity literature. The chapter compares and contrasts results from different studies, identifies common patterns across studies, and develops a classification based on the study’s goals and procedures. The chapter also discusses the results of the studies assessing the reliability and validity of the police integrity approach.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The percentages in this category exceed 100% because some of the studies included information that would result in a classification into more than one category (e.g., a modified questionnaire and new demographic characteristic). There are 42 unique studies, but we counted such studies as both studies on demographic characteristics and studies on new scenarios. There are 11 studies on demographic characteristic, 21 studies on public opinions, and 15 studies on new scenarios, yielding a count of 47 studies.
