The Motivation of Members of the Voluntary Police Service in BW

The book explores Bandura's learning theory and its relevance to motivations for joining the police service, particularly through the lens of family and societal influence on values. It examines the various motives behind volunteering for the 'Freiwillige Polizeidienst,' highlighting altruistic, social, and egoistic factors.
