| Summary: | Kargin examines police officersOCO decision making with regard to peer reporting of unethical police behavior. On a theoretical level, a peer reporting model was developed based on RestOCOs (1984) OC four component, OCO TrevinoOCOs (1986) OC a person-situation interactionist, OCO and, finally, JonesOCO (1991) OC issue-contingentOCO models of ethical decision making for investigation of police officersOCO peer reporting decisions. The results suggest that the perceived seriousness of the unethical behavior is the strongest predictor of police officersOCO peer reporting in minor and moderate policy violations. However, officersOCO attitudes toward professional ethics codes are the strongest predictors of their peer reporting intentions in situations involving major policy violations." |
