Abstract
RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL, THIS WORK IS THE SECOND AND CONCLUDING VOLUME OF AN EXTENDED LITERATURE SEARCH WHICH RESULTED, INITIALLY, IN A 1966 PUBLICATION FOCUSING MAINLY ON THE HISTORICAL AND EARLY MODERN LITERATURE ON POLICE CORRUPTION, THEORETICAL ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN IT, AND MANAGERIAL EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE IT (SEE NCJ-44274). IN ADDITION TO CITING SELECTED HISTORICAL WORKS, THE PRESENT VOLUME DEALS WITH MORE CONTEMPORARY PUBLICATIONS ON THESE SUBJECTS. DEFINITIONS, TYPOLOGIES, AND THE STAGES, EXTENT, AND IMPACT OF POLICE CORRUPTION OR BRIBERY ARE DEALT WITH IN JOURNALISTIC ACCOUNTS, MEMOIRS, SURVEYS, FIELD STUDIES, AS WELL AS REPORTS OF OFFICIAL INVESTIGATIONS. CORRUPTION'S SOCIAL SETTINGS AND ORGANIZATIONAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, INTERACTIONAL, STRUCTURAL, AND SUBCULTURAL APPROACHES TO IT ARE EXAMINED, ALONG WITH CONTROL STRATEGIES INVOLVING ORGANIZATIONAL OR LEGALISTIC APPROACHES, INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS, PERSONNEL POLICIES, PROFESSIONALISM, AND CITIZEN COMPLAINT PROCEDURES. CITATIONS ARE ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY WITHIN THESE SUBJECT AREAS AND ARE INDEXED BY BOTH SUBJECT AND AUTHOR.
