Abstract

This article examines how mandated changes in the screening, selection, and hiring of Miami police officers in the early 1980s contributed to corruption of significant proportions. It is hypothesized that police corruption occurred as a result of both social structural (or community) changes, and departmental problems. These factors are documented, as is the extent of police corruption. Screening, selection, and hiring practices for this period are addressed, particularly those related to affirmative action and testing procedures. Recommendations are made regarding future police hiring and supervision practices.
