The survey of police integrity was conducted on the representative sample of 550 Slovenian police officers. The measurement was developed by Kutnjak Ivković and Klockarson the basis of 14 hypothetical case scenarios which describe different forms of police misconduct (i.e. conflict of interests, bribery, and theft). The results of this study demonstrate a high level of self-reported police integrity strictly connected to the code of silence into police community. As a result, anti-corruption strategies are most likely to be successful if they are directed at changing perceptions and moral believes about seriousness of corruptive conducts.
