title: Stress among police detectives.
abstract: The sources of stress among police detectives were explored. Type A behavior was found to be a major precursor of self-perceived mental ill health. The organization of the detective service and environmental influences (e.g., the courts) were found to be major determinants of stress-related illnesses among detectives, with detective sergeants being particularly vulnerable to role-related stress.
