Other ways to help with reducing police corruption is there needs to be a higher standard for recruitment and screening of such one (Newburn & Webb, 1999). There needs to be a full background check own a individual that wish to work for the police. There has been other law agencies around the world that have try to reduce corruption by hiring people in law enforcement that are in their mid to late twenties, but I would not because corruption does not have an age limit.

Not only do we look at the department evaluation of one another, but also citizens complaints because this can also give one behavior when they are on the streets (McCafferty & McCafferty, 1998). Also having two evaluation in place can help in investigation on whether or not corruption is taken place.
The police culture is important in the battle to prevent corruption. There has been test done by senior officers to test new recruits ethics ( Martin, 2011).
