Policing Final
Reality Shock - correct answer The astonishment a new police officer
experiences when encountering the unpleasant aspects of dealing with the public, the criminal justice
system, and the department during the first weeks and months on the job.



Hostility from Citizens - correct answer The anger, resentment, and distrust
demonstrated by citizens towards the police.



Police officers are "insiders" - correct answer Police officers see themselves as
having firsthand knowledge about how the police system works.



Department Politics - correct answer The view that the police organization
does not always act in a rational and efficient manner and is, therefore, political.



Seniority - correct answer Hierarchy based on the amount of time that the
office has been employed by a policy agency.



Police Subculture - correct answer A particular set of values, beliefs, and
acceptable forms of behavior characteristic of American police.



Secrecy - correct answer In this context, it is the attitude displayed by police
officers to the rest of the world.

-Police officers keep secret the misbehaviors of other police officers.



Code of Silence - correct answer Also known as the "blue curtain," a code of
honor among police officers whereby officers refuse to testify against corrupt colleagues, creating a veil
of secrecy around police actions.



Traditionalists - correct answer The traditionalists are emotionally committed
to the image of policing as dangerous physical work, and therefore, they have difficulty in accepting
women police officers.

,Moderns - correct answer The moderns accept policewomen and recognize
that police work rarely calls for physical strength. They accept the idea that job opportunities should be
open to everyone on the basis of individual merit.



Moderates - correct answer The moderates have more complex attitudes.
Many accept the idea of policewomen in principle but do not like the idea of women on patrol.



African-American officers - correct answer Officers representing the African
American minority population within the work force working as sworn police officers.



Hispanic, Latino officers - correct answer Officers representing minorities from
the countries of origin of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.



Lesbian and gay officers - correct answer Officers representing the lesbian and
gay minority population within the workforce of sworn police officers.



Education Generation Gap - correct answer This concept refers to the
different levels of education between older officers and younger officers.



Cohort Effects - correct answer Conflicts that exist between officers when
officers hired in one decade have different ideas and lifestyles than officers hired in a later decade.



Street Cop Culture - correct answer This values street experience and a tough,
personalized way of dealing with people on the street.



Attitude vs. Behavior - correct answer Studies have found no evidence of a link
between a police officer's attitude and his or her use of excessive force.

-Common sense might suggest that there is a direct link between attitude and behavior, but this is not
the case with police officers, because they are constrained by bureaucratic aspects of the police
department and the judicial system.

,Active Officers - correct answer These are officers who initiate more contact
with citizens, assert control of situations with citizens, and make more arrests.



Passive Officers - correct answer These officers are more likely to observe a
situation and take notes.



Professional development - correct answer The notion that an officer has to
continuously grow professionally and develop through education, training, experience, and promotion.



Promotion - correct answer Advancement in rank or responsibility, usually
based on testing or merit but sometimes the result of personal favoritism. Best way to achieve more
money!



Fringe Benefits - correct answer Sometimes referred to as collateral
entitlements, employee benefits are a labor cost to employers incurred in providing compensation
above and beyond wages and salaries.

-Benefits usually include time off with pay (holidays, vacations, sick leave); retirement pensions
(deferred payments); life, medical, and hospitalization insurance; and special incentive pay increases for
educational achievement, outstanding performance, or profit sharing. Along with wages and salaries,
fringe benefits are usually the topic of collective bargaining.



Special Units - correct answer Special units within police departments include
criminal investigation, training, juvenile, detective, and so on.



Coveted Assignments - correct answer These are special assignments in a
police department that are considered highly desirable.



Lateral Entry - correct answer Moving from one police department to another
at either the same rank or a higher rank. Extremely rare!



Performance Evaluations: - correct answer A written and documented
evaluation of a police officer's work performance. This is done by a supervisor at least twice a year.

, Job Satisfaction - correct answer How well officers are pleased with or like
their job. There are five different areas of satisfaction: (1) nature of police work; (2) organizational
factors; (3) relations with the community; (4) relations with the media and political leaders; and (5)
personal or family factors.



Coping with Job stress - correct answer The techniques used by police officers
include confidential assistance programs that utilize health professionals and/or peer support groups to
help employees cope with personal or work-related problems.



Outside employment - correct answer When a police officer works in a
position outside of the police department that requires him to use his or her police skills or authority.



Turnover - correct answer The number of police officers who leave or resign
from the police department within a given amount of time.



Reality Shock: Entering Police Work - correct answer -Encountering Citizens

-Encountering Criminal Justice System

-Encountering the Department



Encountering Citizens - correct answer Attitudes toward the public change
significantly during the first weeks and months on the job. These changes occur for a variety of reasons:
(1) hostility from citizens; (2) being stereotyped; and (3) being required to perform society's dirty work



Encountering the criminal justice system - correct answer As insiders within
the criminal justice system, officers see plea-bargaining and incompetence within the judicial system.
They become cynical about the fairness of the system and react negatively to manner in which they are
treated by those in judicial system.



Encountering the Department - correct answer Officers quickly learn the
department politics of the organization and discover that it does not always operate in a rational and
efficient manner. Officers conclude that hard work will not be rewarded and the best approach is to do
as little as possible and avoid situations that might create trouble.
