enforcement misconduct? Defend your position.
For this particular discussion, I find it is important to annotate
that there could be some differences between police subculture
due the large amount of variables. When we say police
subculture, I feel we can look at police subculture at the macro
or micro level. At the macro level, we can see the core values
that law enforcement endorses throughout the country. At the
federal and/or state level, we can see a recruitment and training
standard that is also geared to culturally acclimate the new
recruits. At the micro level, we can example specific satellite
offices or entities within in a city. While most might embody
the same values, some entities may have an altered perception
on what misconduct is and what could be the appropriate
measure(s) of discipline. While there are many variables that
impact an operational unit’s culture, some studies have
indicated primary variables for ethical conduct. Lim (2016)
released a study that claimed “…organizational factors strongly
and consistently influence integrity and accountability…”.
Throughout the study, Lim (2016) cites that it is the leadership
