Predicting College Students' Career Interests To Be a Police Investigator Rather Than a Patrol Officer
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>In the field of criminal justice, much research has been dedicated to investigating policing in the 21<sup>st</sup>century. However, there is a lack of research regarding predictions of career preference among college students, more specifically, millennials. This study was designed to fill that gap in the literature by examining interests in police patrol careers. The methodology involved included multiple regression as a way to potentially predict career preference for a police investigator rather than a patrol officer. The results provided promising results for the overall understanding of career preference for millennials. This study also provided crucial discussions for policy implications and future research recommendations.</p>
