Workers were found to offer more negative than positive comments, and many of their concerns centered on administrative and court-related problems similar to findings about police officer job stress.

Thus, mission reform is necessary to ameliorate these job problems. 8 footnotes, 3 tables, and 38 references. (Author abstract)
