The Psychology of Police Corruption

This chapter explores the psychology associated with the implementation of new ideas in the police service using police story telling data from my personal journals (van Hulst, M., & Tsoukas, H. (2021). Understanding extended narrative sensemaking: How police officers accomplish story work. Organization, 13,505,084,211,026,878.). It provides insights into the research question “what happened within the police service when the government created the offence of Corrupt or Improper Practice for police officers in Sect. 26 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015?”.
