Dr. Philip Stinson, Bowling Green State University,
discusses the findings of his research on crimes committed by police officers.
Based on the research findings, law enforcement officers
appear to commit crimes at a much lower rate than the general public. However,
in some cases, at times due to the stressors of the job and frequent exposure
to trauma and violence, officers engage in misconduct or criminal behavior. The
National Institute of Justice understands what’s at stake for public safety and
officer wellness when we ignore warning signs of officers struggling with
occupational hazards and other psychological hardships.
In this video, Dr. Stinson discusses what he learned about
six different crimes (alcohol-related, drug-related, sex-related,
violence-related, and profit-motivated crime).
