This book explores the contours of the code of silence and provides
policy recommendations geared toward creating an environment less
conducive for police misconduct. It responds to the recent calls
for police reform, in the wake of the perceived illegitimacy of
police actions and the protection that the code of silence seems to
provide to the police officers who violate the official rules.
Using a case study of a medium-sized U.S. police agency, this book
employs the lens of police integrity theory to provide empirically
grounded explanations of the code of silence. It examines the
potential effects of organizational factors and the attitudes of
individual police officers on their willingness to adhere to the
code of silence in cases of police corruption, the use of excessive
force, interpersonal deviance, and organizational deviance. The
book focuses on the following factors that could influence the
police code of silence in the times of change: The impact of
organizational rule dissemination, discipline, and disciplinary
fairness on the scope of the code of silence The role
organizational justice plays in shaping police officer willingness
to report misconduct The effect that police officers'
self-legitimacy has on their decisions to adhere to the code The
influence of peer culture on individual police officer amenability
to maintain the code The relationship between officers' views of
themselves, the organization, and the community on their
willingness to report misconduct
