title = "An Exploratory Analysis of Drug Arrest Cases Among Police Officers",
abstract = "Few studies have examined offender characteristics, conviction outcomes, and employment outcomes of officers who have engaged in drug-related crimes. This study explores drug-related criminal arrest cases committed by non-federal sworn law enforcement officers. The purpose of this study is to explore and describe the characteristics of police officers who have committed drug-related crimes. This study uses data involving criminal arrest cases from 2005-2019 from the Henry A. Wallace Police Crime Database (N = 18,032 criminal arrest cases within N = 14,722 officers) to examine the individual characteristics, offense characteristics, criminal case disposition, and employment outcome characteristics of officers who have committed drug-related crimes. Results of this study can be used to implement better drug policies within police organizations and better how drug use and drug crime appear differently in police populations.Presentation at the American Society of Criminology 2024 Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA, on November 13, 2024.",
