RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

The researcher used the descriptive analytical methodology through the documentary method by gathering of data and information through different references and sources to establish the theoretical frame and to explore previous studies on the research subject. The researcher prepared a questionnaire to gather information on the research subject composed of 56 terms distributed on four main axes that cover the previous research queries. Because the descriptive analytical method has several alternative strategies, the researcher used the social survey strategy as the most suitable method for the research subject. The research population included all Riyadh city police officers composed of (181) officers at the time of the study out of which (145) officers responded.

1. The highly evident concepts comprising four phrases.

2. The average evident concept comprising one phrase.
