The police is the power institution of ordering and compelling to the people in case of need because it should perform the activities of maintaining the peace and order of social public and suppressing and controlling, relieving and protecting in the scenes of a crime, an incident and an accident. Thus, power exercise inevitably accompanies the activities. In some cases, as a result of an extremely small number of policemen's wrong behaviors or improper measures in the process, the whole police organization is criticized.
The act of drunken driving by a policeman enforcing a law among them is intensively criticized by the people whenever it causes an accident. It does not reduce despite continuously educating him or her not to do it and working out a countermeasure against it. Therefore, I want to seek effectively preventive measures against it and present a plan for revitalizing preventive measures against it to improve them.
To achieve the purpose of this study, I made a questionnaire survey to 300 police officials working in the whole country regardless of a rural district, a fishing village and an urban area to confirm whether the positive research model derived through the study of literature is a useful model including the factors of causing actual police official owner drivers to do drunken driving, and presented suggestions based on the results from a positive analysis
First, the results are summarized as follows.
First, analyzing whether the factors of causing drunken driving as personal factors affect the intention of doing it showed that for a police official, an attitude toward it, a subjective norm toward it and perceived behavioral control affected the intention. It was clear that a policeman's good attitude and subjective norm toward it as well as a low level of his or her perceived behavioral control lowered the intention.
Secondly, analyzing the effect of short-term pursuit of facility, physical environment, preventive education against drunken driving, past drinking behavior and culture of dining together, which are the factors of causing drunken driving as environmental factors, on the intention of doing drunken driving showed that in case of a drunken driver as a policeman short-term pursuit of facility, physical environment and preventive education against drunken driving did not have different effects on it and only past drinking behavior had an important effect on it.
Based on the above results I presented the following plans for preventing and eradicating a police official's drunken driving.
It can be said that preventing a police official's own accidents has the greatest effect when all policemen voluntarily participate in it by sympathizing with it and that in drunken driving among them ethical education for changing consciousness is above all important. Nevertheless, the preventive and ethical education for the police's own accidents which is usually performed in it is only one-dimensional. Thus, it is necessary to specialize the preventive education for its own accidents including drunken driving and, especially, subdivide policemen's careers and its curriculum, reinforce traffic safety education and make traffic accident image education program related to drunken driving. Besides, it is imperative to cultivate an expert in ethical education, purify policemen themselves and take a positive practical attitude. Also, it is necessary to prepare the effective educational programs for police officials such as education of enabling police official owner drivers to recognize the importance of preventing drunken driving and have the habit of driving safely, stress management, alcohol education and personality test.
Finally, I clarify that the findings of this study making no great difference from those of the existing preceding studies focused on establishing a direction for eradicating the drunken driving in the organization through a more in-depth investigation into police officials.
