Identifier	Thesis 2066
Author	Lammers, Jonathan Paul,1972-
Title	Comparative analysis of police stress in different size departments
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2010
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The purpose of this study was to compare the stress felt by officers employed by different size departments to identify differences and similarities between small town and urban policing. This study surveyed 104 officers of various ranks from four local Connecticut police departments which represented and served three different size communities (small, medium, and large). Officers were asked to complete a five page survey which gathered basic demographic information and asked them to rate the amount of stress felt in certain situations common in policing. Officers generally reported low levels of stress, with task-related and organizational stressors rated slightly more stressful overall than external stressors. In regard to department size, officers from the mid-size department reported significantly higher stress, on average, due to organizational factors than officers from the small departments. There were also marginally significant differences between small and large departments in regard to organizational factors, as well as between small and medium departments in regard to task-related stressors. Officers were also asked about the effect this stress has had on their lives outside of work. A majority of officers reported that their relationships with friends, amount of sleep and eating habits had worsened since becoming a police officer. The only difference as a function of department size was that officers from large departments were significantly more likely to report that their amount of exercise had decreased since becoming an officer.
