Our expectations of how the police behave are rightly high. Forces have those expectations too and use a variety of methods to identify officers who are at risk of behaviour incompatible with their role as upholders of the law.

This week's episode looks at research which questions whether the current frameworks for monitoring officers misses a major cohort of miscreants.

The paper is called "Fire Without Smoke: Understanding Spontaneous Career Ending Police Misconduct." It was authored by Timothy I. C. Cubitt, Morven Brown, and Matthew Bland, and published in the journal Police Quarterly.
