Abstract

Previous literature has identified disparities in disposition, sentencing, and employment outcomes for officers convicted of various criminal offenses, yet research on disparities for sexual offenses is lacking. This study explores disparities in case disposition, sentencing, and employment outcomes for on- and off-duty sexual misconduct cases involving sworn law enforcement. Using data from the Henry A. Wallace Police Crime Database, this study examines disposition, sentencing, and employment outcomes in relation to individual officer characteristics among police officers arrested for sexual offenses. This research aims to uncover differences in case outcomes and has implications for equitable justice, accountability, and police reform.
