TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - The Relationship Between Career Pathways of Internal and Citizen Complaints JO - Police quarterly A1 - Harris, Christopher J. SP - 142 EP - 165 VL - 14 IS - 2 N2 - This study explores the career pathways and their related linkages of officer problem behaviors from two sources: complaints filed by citizens and complaints filed internally by other officers. Using retrospective longitudinal data from a large cohort of officers, results indicate that while both citizen and internal complaints are patterned differently at the aggregate level over officer experience, both contain multiple pathways at the individual level. Analyses further demonstrate a small group of officers in both complaint types who account for a disproportionate amount of deviance, and officers belonging to one group tend to belong to the other. Implications are discussed.
