“…Different factors can impact upon a police officer’s or police department’s integrity. Examples are the organizational culture and code of silence (den Heyer and Beckley, 2013; Jiao, 2010; Klockars et al, 2006; Prenzler, 2004), colleagues (both direct colleagues and supervisors or commanders) (Klockars et al, 2006), receptivity to citizen complaints (Klockars et al, 2006; Ransley et al, 2007) and the triangle of integrity (Klockars et al, 2006). This triangle refers to the recruitment, selection and training of police officers.…”

“…Examples are abuse of power, police corruption, excessive or unnecessary use of force, discourtesies, false arrests (arrests without probable cause), failure to identify as a police officer, sexual assault and verbal and physical abuse, racism or racial profiling (e.g. in traffic stops), and discrimination within the police (Jiao, 2010; Kelly, 2012; Klockars et al, 2006; Prenzler, 2004; Ransley et al, 2007; Xu, 2013). There is, however, no full consensus on appropriate behaviour.…”

“…An individual police officer can, among other things, be fired, suspended with(out) pay, resign, receive a written or oral reprimand, be demoted and lose his/her reputation. In addition, some police officers commit suicide after an (alleged) misbehaviour (Jiao, 2010; Kelly, 2012; Klockars et al, 2006; Prenzler, 2004). Klockars et al (2006) found that written reprimands and suspension are more common, whereas dismissal is quite rare.…”

“…The police department or the entire organization may also experience some consequences, such as a loss of public respect or changes in policy (Jiao, 2010; Kelly, 2012; Klockars et al, 2006; Prenzler, 2004). More generally, public protests can be provoked, press conferences can be held and indemnifications are possible (Kelly, 2012).…”

The method and results of a scoping review, based on the principles of a systematic literature review, on police accountability are presented with the aim of providing an overview of the characteristics of empirical research on the topic and the main themes covered in this research tradition. To our knowledge, no systematically conducted review has been undertaken although one could help to identify gaps in the (empirical) literature and give insights into the themes studied in this regard. Three main themes were discovered during the review; aside from police accountability as such, many studies related to police integrity or, to a lesser extent, historical facts concerning police accountability or integrity. Two of the most striking findings were the low number of empirical studies included in our thematic synthesis and the limited amount of methodological information reported in these publications. As such, the authors recommend more empirical research regarding police accountability and, more generally, sufficient methodological reporting when writing a publication.
