Cops in the Making: Substance Use Patterns and Traits of Youth Who Enter the Criminal Justice Field Presented: Atlanta GA, American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting, November 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Criminal Justice System; Drug Use; Occupations Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Officials employed in the criminal justice system have a duty to serve, protect, and uphold the law. The current research seeks to examine the individual traits and behaviors of criminal justice employees during their youth. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, this research surveys the alcohol and illicit drug use of people who went on to work in the criminal justice system. We are able to observe patterns in behavior and substance use that may be common among persons before and after entering the field. If such patterns are observed this can be used to promote healthy coping skills for this stressful occupation with a working population of people who have a history of substance use and abuse. |
