- Title
JOB STRESS IN POLICE WORK: AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS INTO STRUCTURAL CAUSES.
- Authors
GAINES, LARRY K.; VAN TUBERGEN, NORMAN
- Abstract
Police stress has received intermittent coverage in the literature for the last decade, and it remains a constant source of discussion today. One of the reoccurring problems with stress studies is that they attempt to examine the phenomenon globally. This almost always leads to generalized findings which may be representative of the overall problem, but certainly fail to adequately micro-examine the intracies of the issue. This article examines perceptions of stress relative to the demographic and assignment characteristics of police officers in a medium sized city. It identifies three specific patterns and suggests directions for additional research.
