Research in Law Enforcement Selection

ISBN: 1581124287
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This book is the most comprehensive reference ever written for individuals interested in law enforcement selection. The chapters contain meta-analyses (statistical reviews of the literature) investigating the validity of methods used to predict police performance. These methods include education requirements, cognitive ability, background variables (e.g., military experience, arrest record, discipline problems at work), personality inventories, interest inventories, physical agility tests, assessment centers, and interviews. The first chapter in the book is a short primer on meta-analysis that informs the reader about the purpose of meta-analysis and how to interpret the meta-analysis tables contained in the book. Chapter 2 describes the methods used to conduct the meta-analyses for this project. Chapters 3-11 list the meta-analysis results for the various predictors of police performance. Chapter 12 describes a meta-analysis of the relationships among criteria (e.g., performance ratings, discipline problems, commendations), Chapter 13 describes a meta-analysis of the relationships among selection methods, and Chapter 14 describes a meta-analysis of the relationship between the various criteria and sex, race, age, and tenure. Chapter 15 summarizes the previous chapters and identifies future research needs.

The Big Five-factors and Hostility in the MMPI and IPI
Author: John Joseph PalmatierPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Hostility (Psychology)
Languages : en
Pages : 566
Book Description
State trooper job performance, as measured by supervisor ratings and patrol activity collected for a twelve-month period after all subject finished probation, was used to assess the predictive validity of the Big Five Personality Factors, as defined by various Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) clinical scales, and Inwald Personality Inventory (IPI) scales. The MMPI and IPI were administered to a total 314 recruits from four resident State Police Basic Academy classes the first night at the academy. Inventory scores were not used for selection purposes. Data from 301 recruits were subjected to analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess different Big Five-factor definitions, assembled using MMPI and IPI scales. Results show that the MMPI and IPI scales each provide a measure of one Big Five-factor personality domain. Neuroticism was measured by the MMPI, while Agreeableness was measured by the IPI. Neuroticism and Agreeableness were found to be parallel measures suggesting that a third personality domain, Hostility, was the primary determinant. Correcting for attenuation, subjects with elevated Hostility scores had lower job performance ratings (r = -.43), lower levels of patrol activity (r = -.18), lower Academy GPAs (r = -.30), and were more prone to leave the state police (r = -.24). It is suggested that Hostility may be a reliable and useful predictor for police officer selection.
