✦ Synopsis

Over 400 spouses of police officers were surveyed by questionnaire to assess the impact of police work on the welfare and functioning of these spouses and their families. The results suggest that police work has an adverse impact, particularly in terms of spouses' social life. The main culprits are long hours, shiftwork and cancelled leave. Dangerous duties and working with the opposite sex did not usually have an injurious effect on those at home. The methods used by the officers to combat work-induced stress may create additional difficulties for their spouses and families.
