摘要
摘要由于警察工作的性质,警察诚信至关重要:大多数警察现场工作缺乏监督,不道德的互动可能发生在低能见度和非调用环境中。本研究的目的是调查警察的自我认知诚信。我们基于(Stoddard, the Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology and police Science, 59:201 - 213,1968)的见解,通过提出一种警察诚信的综合衡量方法,打破了新的方法论基础,并测试了警察诚信与个人和组织因素相关的程度。数据于2020年在台湾收集。我们发现,除了年龄和教育的人口控制变量外,警察诚信还与个人和组织因素相关。具体而言,自我控制、反对过度使用武力的态度、与公民的道德一致性和内部程序正义被发现与警察诚信呈正相关,而先前受到纪律处分则呈负相关。根据调查结果,我们就警察组织如何对警官诚信施加一些影响提供了建议。
Police integrity is critically important because of the nature of police work: most police field work is under-supervised where unethical interactions could happen in low visibility, and in a non-invocation milieu. The aim of this research is to investigate police officers’ self-recognized integrity. We broke the new methodological ground by advancing a composite measure of police integrity based on the insight of (Stoddard, The Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology and Police Science 59:201–213, 1968) and tested the extent of police integrity as being related to individual and organizational factors. Data were collected from Taiwan in 2020. We found that police integrity is associated with both individual and organizational factors beyond the demographic control variables of age and education. Specifically, self-control, anti-excessive-force attitudes, moral alignment with citizens, and internal procedural justice are found to be positively correlated with police integrity whereas being previously disciplined is negatively associated. We provide suggestions on how the police organization might exercise some influence on officer integrity based on the findings.
