Abstract

This study describes police attitudes and perceptions of health and wellbeing among police officers who work on Rape and Serious Sexual Offences (RASSO) cases. A mixed-methods approach was deployed including a cross-sectional online survey of RASSO officers and a qualitative study involving in-depth interviews in one English Police Force Area. Findings show that organisational policies have little salience. There is an entrenched culture of continuing to work despite being unwell, to provide operational support for colleagues. There is a need to develop specific strategies that reduce the stress for a team or unit-level for this cohort of police officers.
在处理强奸和严重性罪行的警务人员中与压力有关的心理社会风险因素
这项研究描述了处理强奸和严重性犯罪案件的警察对健康和福利的态度和看法。采用了一种混合方法,包括对raso官员进行横断面在线调查和在一个英国警察部队区域进行深入访谈的定性研究。研究结果表明,组织政策几乎没有显著性。有一种根深蒂固的文化是,即使身体不适也要继续工作,为同事提供业务支持。有必要制定具体战略,减轻这批警察的工作队或单位一级的压力。
