Concerns of Police Survivors, 1986: [United States]
This data collection was designed to assess the impact of
line-of-duty deaths of law enforcement officers on their family
members in terms of the psychological, emotional, and financial
effects. To assess the impact of the traumatic event, a wide variety
of clinical and psychiatric measures of psychological disorder were
employed. The data are stored in two files. Included in the first file
are variables concerning the respondent's personal characteristics
such as age, sex, ethnic origin, marital status, educational level,
relationship to deceased officer, and employment. Also included are
experiences and emotional reactions to the death of the officer and
clinical symptoms of psychological distress. The file also offers
information on the deceased officer's demographic characteristics such
as age at time of death, sex, ethnic origin, educational level, number
of times married, and number of years in law enforcement, as well as
the date and time of the incident. The second file contains variables
on the respondent's relationship with friends and relatives before and
after the traumatic event, behavioral changes of survivors' children
following the death, financial impacts on survivors, and satisfaction
with treatment and responses received from police departments.
