In "Why People Obey the Law" the Normative and Instrumental Perspectives were explained. As we look at the police (and overall public safety culture) tell me if you think the normative and instrumental theories also apply to how employees behave on the job. For example, in the 1800's it was pretty common practice in some communities to be afraid to call the the local fire department because they would spend more time stealing from the home than putting out the fire. The house would burn to the ground and be a total loss, however the firemen would have the jewelry, art, silver, etc. We have all seen the stories about police officers committing various crimes and indiscretions while working. There are also numerous cases of correctional officers engaging in sexual acts with prisoners, smuggling in contraband, and assisting in escapes.
In 2-3 pages give me your personal thoughts on this concept. Do the normative and instrumental perspectives on crime apply to public safety professionals in the same ways as the general population, or is there something else going on that affects their decisions to engage in these behaviors?
