Drug Corruption Arrest Study Published

without comments

An article entitled A Study of Drug Corruption Arrests was published in the September 2013 issue of Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies and Management. In this study, Phil Stinson and John Liederbach collaborated with Steve Brewer, Hans Schmalzried, Brooke Mathna, and Krista Long. The purpose of the study is to provide empirical data on cases of drug-related police corruption. It identifies and describes incidents in which police officers were arrested for criminal offenses associated with drug-related corruption. Data were analyzed on 221 drug-related arrest cases of officers employed by police agencies throughout the USA. Findings show that drug-related corruption involves a wide range of criminal offenses, and that cocaine is the most prevalent drug. Older officers and those employed by large agencies are less likely than others to lose their jobs after a drug-related arrest.
