About policing quizzes
GoConqr OriginalUsing policing quizzes
The quizzes on this page cover police functions, the organisation of policing, ethical leadership and community policing. Some questions also look at the shift from informal to formal policing. Most resources are aimed at university-level study, though there is a smaller selection for school students.
A useful starting point is the quiz on social contract theory and police functions. Its questions give you a way to check your understanding of what policing involves. For a different focus, try the quiz on values and ethical leadership, or the one comparing traditional and community policing.
Plan your revision
Work through questions on one theme and note any terms or ideas you find difficult. If you need more context, switch to a mind map or notes on the Policing unit page, then return to the quiz. Flashcards can help when you want to revisit individual terms. Pick a theme to explore in the collection.
Frequently asked questions
Which quiz should I start with?
The quiz on social contract theory and police functions is a useful place to start if you want to check ideas about what policing involves. If your current work focuses on ethics, the quiz on values and ethical leadership offers a more specific starting point.
What topics do the quizzes cover?
The collection includes questions on police functions, organisations, ethical behaviour and community policing. It also includes a quiz about the shift from informal to formal policing. You can choose a theme that matches your current work rather than working through the whole collection.
Are the quizzes free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take without an account. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. The resources were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr.
