ATTITUDE QUESTIONNAIRES WERE ADMINISTERED TO POLICE OFFICERS EMPLOYED IN RURAL, URBAN, AND SUBURBAN SETTINGS IN TWO MIDWESTERN STATES. THE FINDINGS INDICATED THAT THE RESPONDENTS EVALUATE THEMSELVES AND THEIR PROFESSION HIGHLY IMPLYING THEY HAVE A POSITIVE SELF-CONCEPT AND ARE FAVORABLY DISPOSED TO THEIR CAREER. THE FOUR MOST NEGATIVELY EVALUATED GROUPS WERE LAWYERS, COLLEGE STUDENTS, POLITICIANS, AND PRISON INMATES. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE LOW EVALUATION OF LAWYERS MAY BE DUE TO THE RESPONDENTS' VIEW THAT ATTORNEYS FRUSTRATE AND COMPLICATE THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. REFERENCES ARE INCLUDED.
