- W74403099 abstract "Research Summary Police scholars and public policymakers throughout generations have sought to identify reliable correlates ofpolice misconduct. Despite these efforts, general statements as to the etiology and epidemiology of police misconduct remain inconclusive, in part because of the inconsistent definitions of misconduct and the difficulty of obtaining the data required to make such statements. This research attempts to fill these gaps through a comparison of the personal and career histories of all 1,543 officers who were involuntarily separated from the New York City Police Department (NYPD) for cause during 1975―1996 with a randomly selected sample of their police academy classmates who served honorably. The study uses confidential NYPD files as its major data sources, which include extensive biographical and career information. The study finds that career-ending misconduct rarely occurs in the NYPD and that the types of misconduct do not match well with existing definitions. Several factors emerge as significantpredictors of misconduct, including officer race, minimal education, records ofprior criminality and prior poor employment, failure to advance in the NYPD, and histories of citizen complaints. Policy Implications This study shows that existing definitions ofpolice misconduct are difficult to apply to actual cases ofpolice malpractice, which leads the authors to create a new eight-category classification scheme. The rarity ofmisconduct, especially on-duty abuse, confirms prior research indicating that mostpolice officers do their jobs without engaging in serious malpractice. These findings suggest that the NYPD has become better behaved as it has become more diverse along race and gender dimensions and that the link between black officers and misconduct might be explained by persistent tokenism. The findings related to race have important implication for continued efforts to build racially representative police departments. Personal history findings highlight the importance of conducting background investigations that disqualify candidates with arrest records and employment disciplinary histories, whereas the inverse relationship between college education and misconduct provides strongsupport for continued emphasis on pre- and post-employment educational requirements." @default.
