Description: A series of focus groups comprised of 616 police executives considered the issues and implications of vocationally-based, interpersonal criticism. Policing is an occupation that is inherently exposed to criticism and conflict. Those charged with leading and managing police organizations often report significant exposure to criticism-prone circumstances. The participants collectively reported that criticism is indeed an adverse factor that can influence their physical health, psychological well-being, and vocation. Considerations regarding the impact of interpersonal criticism and suggestions from the participants for better handling criticism are discussed.
