Do you have a source for saying police have high rates of DA perps?
Here's what I found: https://sites.temple.edu/klugman/2020/07/20/do-40-of-police-families-experience-domestic-violence/ https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/etd/1862/ https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/audio/1.7189431 https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/industrial-and-organizational-psychology/article/officerinvolved-domestic-violence-a-call-for-action-among-io-psychologists/2A39727AEB2041178781D027E7D365BE
This last one is about gen pop dv https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499891/
Please consider this list to be incomplete as it's all I could find from my labyrinthine bookmarks I use in place of a functioning memory
Yes that's what I thought, it comes back to the 1990s studies. I'm a dv outreach worker, there's not much research in PPDA.
1st source - talking about studies from the 90s that are now horribly out of date (eg don't take into account changes in recruitment) and have massive methodological flaws (eg not considering the context of coercive control). 2nd link- isn't a study, it's an essay, and it says itself it's anywhere between 4.8 to 40%
I'm not disputing there's likely more in police. I'd also expect there to be more in other jobs with power, control and access to vulnerable people including medicine, security guards, teaching etc.
I fear it is both under reported and under prosecuted in addition to being under researched, can't imagine why that would be... it's the same with any power structures, be it police, priest, or politician. Victims are silenced to preserve the power.
Agree
You think it's improved?
More women, increased reporting etc change rates
Well, more women I'll buy. Good thing we can't be assholes, and marginalized people trying to join an insular privileged in-group are never pressured to be physical avatars of all that group's vices.
Yeah let me find it again just a sec
There's a well known study showing 40% will admit to or even brag about it if ypu rephrase it. Im on mobile, so just look up police 40% study.
The actual number would almost certainly be higher, but thats very specificity over sensitivity.
I know the 40% study I talk about it below. It's over 30 years old and has massive methodological flaws
Yeah, it's close enough, and I had cops around growing up. 40% seems shockingly low.
Don't defend cops. It's not a good look.
I'm not disputing abusers are drawn to jobs with power and control including police, military, security guards, medicine and politics. I don't like to see inaccurate data flying round and police perpetrated DA is an underresearched field.
I expect youve worked with trafficked people before; you know how that tends to work.
I know where I am, they tend to be involved with major imports of drugs of abuse.
And nobody likes getting their life dug into like that.
So when it's these fuckers, into all that shit, with the ability to kill with no social consequence, i expect the researchers have a lot of 'training accidents'. So it's going to stay under researched.
