Dissertation
Measuring sub-cultural tolerance of police corruption and determining the predictive value of individual characteristics
2003
Overview
The research effort was directed at the development of a reliable scale to measure subcultural tolerance of police corruption among Chicago police officers. The study was also designed to assess the value of a set of individual characteristics in predicting sub-cultural tolerance of police corruption. The data are derived from a random sample survey of 105 active Chicago police officers. The survey instrument was designed to collect data on officers' attitudes toward certain corrupt behavior and contained twelve behavior statements which respondents classified along a five-point scale from “acceptable” to “unacceptable.” The findings indicate that the scale developed is reliable in measuring the level of corruption tolerance present in the sub-culture of the subject agency; that “time-on-the-job” is a significant predictor of tolerance of corruption among Chicago police officers; that “parenthood” is a significant negative predictor of tolerance; that “education” is not predictive of an officer's tolerance of police corruption; and that when considering the most serious forms of corrupt behavior, “youth” is a significant predictor of tolerance. The data analysis also indicates that approximately one-third of the variance in police officer attitudes toward police corruption can be explained by the combined influence of the individual characteristic variables examined.
