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. |
