To Serve, Protect, and Transform: A Journey with a Police-Evangelist towards the Moral Recovery among Offenders
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 20, Issue 6
Abstract
This research disclosed the narrative of a police evangelist facilitating the moral recovery among offenders. Researchers utilized a qualitative single-case study design, employing one police officer who conducts spiritual services inside jail facilities chosen through a purposive sampling technique. This study aimed to motivational factors, experiences, and insights of the police-evangelist in journeying towards moral recovery among offenders. Researchers gathered the data through an in-depth interview and analyzed the data using thematic analysis to create themes and core ideas. Three emerging themes were created on the motivational factors of the police evangelist: driven by faith and compassion, responding to the call, and PDL’s eagerness to be taught. Four themes emerged from the experiences of the police evangelist: conduct of spiritual services, getting support, joy in changing one’s life, happiness and fulfillment, and dealing with PDL’s different emotions. Three emerging themes were found in the insights of the police evangelist: volunteerism in sharing God’s words, God’s words change lives, and doing what you learned. This study substantiates the Social Learning Theory. Practical implications for the police officers, police stations, jail facilities, religious groups, and local government units were presented.
