Police Sexual Misconduct: Female Police Officers' Views Regarding Its Nature and Extent
Women & Criminal Justice, 2010Co-Authors: Timothy M. MaherAbstract:Sexual Misconduct among on-duty police officers has received little scholarly attention. Existing research that has attempted to provide police officers' views on this matter has been dominated by the male perspective. The present study focuses on female officers' perspectives and provides insight into the nature and extent of such behavior. The findings show that female officers report that police Sexual Misconduct is common. Differences in perceptions about such behavior between female and male officers are identified. Theoretical explanations for police Sexual Misconduct are explored. Policy implications of how police Sexual Misconduct might be better controlled are discussed.

Police chiefs’ views on police Sexual Misconduct
Police Practice and Research, 2008Co-Authors: Timothy M. MaherAbstract:This paper examines police Sexual Misconduct (PSM). Twenty police chiefs in a major metropolitan area were interviewed about their perceptions of the nature, extent, and causes of PSM. Results suggest that chiefs believe PSM is a problem. Although they generally report that the serious/criminal forms of PSM (e.g., rape, Sexual assault, and sex with a juvenile) are rare, they believe the less serious, non‐criminal incidents (e.g., flirting on duty, consensual sex on duty, and pulling over a driver to get a closer look) are more common. The data reveal four factors in particular that appear to influence this behavior: lack of knowledge about PSM, police departments’ complaint systems, opportunity for Sexual Misconduct, and the police culture. Implications of the findings for possible methods to control PSM are discussed including the need for police chiefs and administrators to make a genuine commitment to controlling this problem.

Police Sexual Misconduct: Officers' Perceptions of its Extent and Causality
Criminal Justice Review, 2003Co-Authors: Timothy M. MaherAbstract:This article reports on a survey of police officers in 14 different police agencies in four counties in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Results from a self-administered questionnaire followed by an oral interview indicate that officers reported Sexual Misconduct to be common and reveal a broad consensus among officers that the more serious forms of this behavior should not be tolerated. Nevertheless, none of the departments studied was found to have a formal policy specifically proscribing Sexual Misconduct, and criminal justice officials have done little to help control the problem, suggesting that this problem may in part be fostered by the police subculture. The conclusion explores policy implications within law enforcement and suggests the need for increased attention from researchers and from criminal justice officials and personnel.

evaluation of Sexual Misconduct complaints the oregon board of medical examiners 1991 to 1995
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1997Co-Authors: John A Enbom, Claire D ThomasAbstract:Abstract OBJECTIVE: In 1991 the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners initiated a separate category for the complaint of Sexual Misconduct. Investigated complaints of Sexual Misconduct brought to the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners were analyzed for the years 1991 to 1995 to serve as a baseline. Comparison was made to the Federation of State Medical Boards Sexual Misconduct data for 1991 and 1992. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred complaints brought against 80 licensees were evaluated by practitioner's degree, age group, sex, specialty, and disposition of complaints for the years 1991 to 1995. The allegations were classified into behavior categories of Sexual impropriety, Sexual transgression, and Sexual violations. RESULTS: Sexual Misconduct was the allegation in 5.9% of the complaints investigated for the study period. Oregon had more Sexual Misconduct complaints than the average reported to the Federation of State Medical Boards for the years 1991 and 1992. Most (72%) complaints came from the patients or their families. Two female physicians (2.4%) had Sexual boundary complaints. Sexual Misconduct complaints increased by a risk ratio of 1.44 with advancing age by decades. Allegations classified into behavior categories according to severity revealed 39% Sexual impropriety, 31% Sexual transgression, and 30% Sexual violation. Reportable disciplinary actions occurred only with multiple allegations of Sexual impropriety (6.5%) and for Sexual transgression (27%) whereas Sexual violation allegations often had one complainant but there were 54% reportable disciplinary actions. Family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry had the highest incidence of Sexual Misconduct complaints whereas psychiatry and obstetrics and gynecology had the highest incidence of reportable disciplinary actions. Twenty-five percent of the closed cases resulted in reportable disciplinary actions. This analysis is discussed in relationship to legal and ethical issues and the goal of zero tolerance. CONCLUSIONS: Oregon has a higher percentage of Sexual Misconduct complaints than the average for 42 states reporting to the Federation of State Medical Boards for the years 1991 and 1992. Analysis of the Oregon Board's experience for the study years will provide a baseline for future evaluation and as an educational resource for the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners and professional and specialty societies. Ethical standards, the reporting and investigative processes, and the legal framework are in place and lessen the incidence of Sexual Misconduct and work toward zero tolerance.
