Abstract
The recent literature on the police has alluded to a "clean "and "dirty" money distinction among the various patterns of police corruption, and has suggested that police peer groups use this distinction to arrive at various social definitions of accepted and tolerated forms of police corrupt behavior. This study examines the existence of various social definitions of police corruption in one Southern police organization. The findings indicate that members of this police organization do draw such a distinction, and the perceived extent of ten patterns of corruption varies inversely with the perceived deviance or "wrongness" of the corrupt behavior in question.
