Police Integrity Lost: A Study of Law Enforcement Officers Arrested
$261,480 Grant From the National Institute of Justice
Released: 1/31/2012
Source: Bowling Green State University Newswise — BOWLING GREEN, O.—A Bowling Green State University criminal justice team is developing the first national profile of police integrity through an analysis of police crime committed by sworn law enforcement officers. A National Institute of Justice (NIJ) grant in excess of $260,000 will fund the work of criminal justice faculty members Dr. Philip Stinson, principal investigator for the project, and co-investigators Drs. John Liederbach and Steven Lab. NIJ is a branch of the Office of Justice Programs at the U.S. Department of Justice. The focus of the 24-month research project is to study the arrest records of on- and off-duty law enforcement officers across the nation. It builds on previous studies by Stinson and Liederbach published in Police Quarterly, Criminal Justice Policy Review, and International Journal of Police Science and Management. According to Stinson, the research is important because “there are no comprehensive statistics available on problems with police integrity, and no government entity collects data on criminal arrests of police officers in the U.S.” “The lack of statistics on police crime should be troubling to police executives, researchers, policymakers and the general public,” Stinson added.

They determined certain factors predicted bad police officials... including IE lost credentials, equipment, etc. It reminds me of something an old crusty officer once told me "The only officers that never do anything wrong, are the ones that never do anything... These people become supervisors, of course." Was he lazy, a bad cop, or pragmatic? |
