| Zusammenfassung: | This paper examines the research strategies of stress and police work using the example of role conflict. The major problems are identified as the lack of adequate measurement and conceptual clarity. Given this rudimentary state, a causal approach to the problem is not recommended at this time. The serious public consequences of physical, mental, and behavioral police reactions to stress will result in an increasing number of treatment and preventive programs. The existing programs lack careful evaluation components. Adequate evaluations should be a part of every treatment or preventive program. The most important research need is to conduct a thorough descriptive study of the actual rates of illness and stress related behaviors among the police. Once the extent and nature of the problem are identified, causal analysis can be undertaken. |
