Research of the Interconnection of the Characteristic Features of Policemen with their Law Awareness Development
Abstract
The purpose. On the basis of an empirical study, determine the levels of development of legal awareness of police officers, which are divided into groups according to the length of service. Also, our task is to identify and analyze the interconnection of development of legal awareness with characteristic features of policemen. Methodology. The structural-logical method, empirical psychological research methods (testing), and comparative analysis are used. The empirical base of the study (n = 184) was made by the police of the National Police of Ukraine, who took advanced training courses at the Institute of Postgraduate Education of the National Academy of Internal Affairs. They were divided into 3 groups depending on the length of their service in law enforcement agencies. The first group included police officers whose length of service is not more than three years, the second – policemen who served from three to ten years, and the third group – from 10 years and more. Scientific novelty consists in identifying the peculiarities of the development of police legal awareness, depending on their length of service; determining the characteristics of the relationship between the characterological characteristics of the police and the level of development of their legal awareness. Conclusions. Based on the results of the study, the revealed statistical differences between the quantitative indicators of the levels of development of legal awareness between the selected groups are analyzed.The features of intercorrelation connections data of legal awareness development with characteristic features of policemen are described. For policemen of the first group direct intercorrelation connection with the factor of diplomacy/straightforwardness N (r= 0,807; p-<=0,000). Feedback on the conformism factor/independence Q2 (r=-0,256; p<=0,05). For policemen of the second group, an increase of level of awareness is inversely related to the practicality factors/M (r=-0,288; p<=0,25) and ego-tension/relaxation Q (r=-0,235; p<=0,25). For policemen of the third group, a direct inter-correlation connection with sensitivity factor/stiffness I (r =0,259; p <=0,25). Inverse intercorrelation connection with suspicion/gullibility factors L (r=-0,273; p<=0,25) and anxiety/calmness factors – O ( r=-0,203; p<=0,25).
Keywords: policeman; length of service; characteristic features; legal awareness; intercorrelation connection.
