Fear of incarceration is a factor that deters officers from corruption, but fear of shaming one's family and that of the police can be a much greater deterrent. Ethics play an important role in the corruption of police officers. You have to want to be part of something big to uphold your moral ethics. Putting your life on the line every day for a paycheck can be a big sign of vulnerability to corruption. Finding officers who feel a more honorable reason to put their lives at risk would prove that corruption is within their own body.
