Project description

Do Belgian police officers practice what they preach? Based on Rest’s (1986) ethical decision-making model, this study aims to explore if there is a gap between attitude and behavior concerning ethical decision-making by police officers and if such a gap can result in different moral styles of policing for each phase of this ethical decision-making process.
