Exploratory Investigation of Police Attitudes Toward Violence (Aggression, Law Enforcement, Use of Force, Criminal Justice)

The primary purposes of the study were: (1) to explore relationships among personal and background characteristics and attitudes toward violence of sworn police officers; and (2) to determine the possible relationships of individual measures of attitudes toward violence with length of police service. It was postulated that such measures and relationships must first be identified before they could be utilized in determining possible meaningful relationships among such measures and performance of individuals in the police officer role.
