For that answer I might suggest you go to the Department of Justice Web site at www.doj.gov/Here's a little reading material on over all corruption per state in the U.S. Just understand in the story they talk about "convictions" and we all know that all "bad cops" don't get caught or even get convicted all the time.

Ok, now i need to know what state has the highest rate of police misconduct. No sure anyone here can give you both those answers, I guess that's why they call it a "research" paper. I'm sure there has to be some factors considered also, such as the size of the city/town versus how many officers are on the force. Also would the type of "police misconduct" your referring to be cases that were tried in court and the officer was convicted or of the "complaints" filed by citizens against officers for "assumed" misconduct, which are only investigated within that particular department? I also suggest trying the Department of Justice Web site at www.doj.gov/But before you go to a "government" web site, I might suggest you go "anonymous." A great sight to go, to surf the web anonymous is, anonymouse.org/If you find your information on what states have the most "corrupt/misconduct" of police officer, be sure to come back and share the information with us.

Here is what i put in the paper
The southern states have the highest rate of police misconduct, but the state with the highest rate of police misconduct is Rhode Island, with North Dakota coming in a close second. The highest rate of police brutality cases occur in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas. This comes as a surprise to many because most people believe that the most corrupt police systems are those of the most populated areas, such as New York and Los Angelas. The reason for this misjudgment is because most of the cases that occur involving these police jurisdictions are nationally televised, such as the Rodney King and Frank Serpico incident.

Why is this I wonder? Does it have to do with the population of the state verus what? Would you mind sharing your sources with us? Those two states I just can't locate a lot of "police misconduct," compared to other states. The highest rate of police brutality cases occur in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas. This comes as a surprise to many because most people believe that the most corrupt police systems are those of the most populated areas, such as New York and Los Angelas. These states I can believe, you're talking about Southern Racist hospitality states there. I would think that L.A. would be in the top ten?
