Abstract :
Civil wars and conflicts in Turkey’s nearby geography, internal security threats posed by terrorism and public order offenses cause police officers work under severe levels of risk. Police officers’ working under constant risk and being exposed to danger should be studied in terms of the processes of decision making, risk-taking and risk aversion. Police behavior in decision making context plays a curcial role especially when danger becomes chronic. Police officers need to establish a balance between human rights and state security while working. Increased risk-taking may result in unwarrented limitation of fundamental rights and liberties while excessive risk aversion causes weakness in security. The security services offered by public order police covers a world which is used by the whole society. Thus, workplace of a public order police covers other people’s social life. This makes police vulnerable to offenses and dangers that may target him. In this study, the state of police officers working at Public Security Branch Office and various Police Stations in Zonguldak city center is investigated in terms of their risk taking behaviors.
