Editorial Reviews

Miethe (criminology, U. of Nevada-Las Vegas) analyzes data from personal interviews and surveys of workers in various work settings to investigate what social and psychological factors correlate to reporting or not reporting inappropriate behavior or conditions to outside authorities who have the authority to take corrective action. He also looks at the role of organizational characteristics, consequences of whistle-blowing, legal rights and safeguards, and strategies for people considering it.
