The available literature shows that a large proportion of complainants would like to participate in mediation, and that both complainants and police who experience mediation report much higher rates of satisfaction than those experiencing traditional adversarial investigative and adjudicative processes. Experiences with informal dispute resolution or ‘conciliation’ options are more mixed, and they are susceptible to tokenism and misuse as a convenient administrative means of disposing of complaints. Despite this situation, the data obtained from police and oversight agency sources in this study showed that options were limited to informal resolution conducted by senior officers, with an ostensible focus on behavioural improvement but with no meaningful publicly available data on outcomes. The paper concludes by advocating for a best practice complaints management system that includes mediation within a consultative framework focused on behavioral improvement. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 27/7/2018 Research article Occupational Values, Work Climate and Demographic Characteristics As Determinants of Job Satisfaction in Policing The purpose of the paper is to examine the relationship between perceived importance of occupational values, assessed work climate and selected demographic characteristics of Slovenian police employees, and their job satisfaction. A total of 1,848 police service employees completed a comprehensive online questionnaire. In order to formulate the factors of perceived importance of occupational values and work climate, factor analysis was applied. A multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of job satisfaction. The results indicate the impact of all studied factors on job satisfaction, the strongest one for work climate, followed by demographic characteristics and the perceived importance of occupational values. The awareness of the impact of those factors on job satisfaction might be very useful when deciding about the managerial approaches that result in higher job satisfaction and, indirectly, in better performance of police service.
