TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Racial variations in work-related stress among police officers JO - Journal of ethnicity in criminal justice A1 - Repasky, Gary R.

Using the data set Police Stress and Domestic Violence in Police Families in Baltimore, Maryland (1997-1999), results show that White and Black officers describe sources of work-related stress differently. Whites focus on issues related to the institutional culture, whereas Blacks described problems in terms of personal mistreatment. There are no differences related to critical incident stress, and the two groups do not different dramatically in how work-related stress is manifest and perceived.
