Abstract

Newcomers use established colleagues as role models in their learning processes, trying to be innovative and finding their own personal style as police investigators. The aim of this paper is to discuss why newcomers choose role models representing a method, challenge, skills or risk investigation style. We found that newcomers prefer role models among established police investigators in which they identified and thus, their choice of role models was connected to the newcomers' personal characteristics.
