Prevention Effect of Integrity Test on Undesirable Behavior of Potentially Tested Persons

Summary/Abstract: The article presents some empirical findings of the partial scientific research of the Police Academy of the Czech Republic in Prague „The integrity test – explication, application, effectiveness“, the aim of which is to verify the existence of a „general“ prophylactic effect of the integrity tests on the potentially tested persons. The first part of the article deals with the question how familiar the tested people are with integrity testing. The aim of the other part is to find out whether there is a prevention effect on the undesirable behavior of potentially tested people. Using a questionnaire survey that was carried out among 1200 police officers and through non-standardized interviews that were carried out among 50 police officers, it was found out that the integrity tests really have a prevention effect on the undesirable behavior of potentially tested people. If we were to specify this prevention effect, we could mention the following: increased consistency, alertness, carefulness, self-examination and self-control, also better behavior and adherence to the law and internal regulations, anti-corruption effect, higher stress and fear of losing a job.
