Background Characteristics and Occupational Attitudes in Law Enforcement
Policing People
Background Characteristics and Occupational Attitudes in Law Enforcement
Description
This book explores why police background characteristics and occupational attitudes matter, and how they affect officers, policing, and citizen engagement.
Bridging sociology, criminology, and organizational psychology, this book offers a timely, research-driven analysis of how police officers' background characteristics and occupational attitudes shape recruitment, behavior, and public engagement. With a focus on education, gender, diversity, and institutional bias, Miles-Johnson provides critical insights into the internal dynamics of policing and their broader implications for citizen trust and professionalism. Essential for scholars and students of policing, criminal justice, and public administration, this book challenges conventional approaches to officer performance and retention by emphasizing the complex interplay between individual traits and institutional culture.
