Social Equity and the Public Interest
Frederickson's Social Equity Agenda Applied
This study uses the case of urban public education, and input from more than 5,500 people, to assess citizens' willingness to follow leaders intent on advancing social equity. The evidence indicates that when vague notions of social welfare are replaced by actions focused on the creation of opportunity, there is broad support for social equity, including a willingness to pay increased taxes to support this agenda. Consistent with this understandi…
Community Policing and Community Building
This research uses the responses from more than 500 officers serving a Midwestern city to understand their perceptions of themselves, fellow officers, the police department, neighborhood organizations, and the larger community in relation to community policing. Based on this data, the authors explore how community policing might be used to create a greater convergence of purpose among citizens, neighborhoods, organizations, and the broader well-b…
Willingness to Pay for Capital Investments in Public Education
Citizens are retreating into self-interest from their obligations to community and the institutions of community. This poses many challenges for local government, including increased resistance to paying taxes needed to fund public programs. Using the case of public education and the responses of nearly 5,000 citizens of a Midwestern urban community, this study seeks to better understand how strategic action, built on the foundation of community …
Community of Choice or Ghetto of Last Resort
The viability of local government-sponsored community development of poor ethnic enclaves hinges on the perceptions of residents. If residents view the enclave in which they live as their "community of choice," they will be more likely to join with local government to coproduce community improvement. Residents who see their enclave as their community of choice tend to hold positive perceptions of neighbors and neighborhood and are less fearful of…
Community V. Self-Interest
Some have suggested that the solution to citizen decline in confidence in government is to make public organizations more responsive to citizen demands. But governmental responsiveness can take at least two forms: one focuses on the self-interest of individual citizens and the other focuses on longer-term community interests. This article examines the relative strength of these two sides of responsiveness. Based on the responses of more than seve…
The Paradox between Community and Self-Interest
Devaluation of community in favor of self-interest raises important questions about societal well-being. This research indicates that government agencies that concentrate their efforts on increasing the well-being of community have the potential for reversing citizen retreat into self-interest and at the same time closing the distance between citizens and government. This research also indicates that neighborhoods are a viable but not an exclusiv…
Local government performance through the eyes of citizens
Citizens generally do not have a good understanding of local government and consequently have difficulty assessing performance objectively. Instead, they permit a variety of indicators and sources of information to shape their perceptions of government. This research takes a first step toward an improved understanding of citizen-government relations, especially focusing on how citizens see government. The survey results from over 1800 citizens in…
When citizen expectations conflict with budgetary reality
The tension between demand for services and willingness to pay for those services, referred to here as tax-demand discontinuity, poses a dilemma for local government that will only intensify with growing fiscal constraints. This research is based on a survey of over 1800 citizens in Orange County, Florida, the county including Orlando, to develop a seven-position classification system to define the nature and extent of tax-demand discontinuity. C…
Economic and Environmental Concerns and Local Development Policy
Local government development policy and associated public works investments can have important long-term implications for quality of life. Therefore, citizen values and priorities should be used to guide policy decisions. The infusion of citizen values into development policy is particularly important because of the tension between economic and environmental concerns. This research articulates this tension by classifying citizens based on their c…
Apprehension about Communication and Human Resilience
This study examined the relationship between scores on two personality characteristics, apprehension about communication and resilience, from 200 elementary school teachers from several counties who completed the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension and the Personal Resilience Questionnaire. Scores on the two measures correlated -.33, which accounts for 10% of the common variance
Local Government-Sponsored Community Development
Local governments are increasingly turning to community-based organizations (CBOs) to support improvement in low-income neighborhoods. Perceptions of more than 70 community leaders and 120 citizens involved in the formation of a CBO in the Orlando, Florida, metropolitan area are used to illuminate relationships between community empowerment and community improvement. Congruent with expectations, findings suggest that both local government respons…
Local Government-Supported Community Development
There is increasing support for local solutions to poverty through community-based organizations (CBOs). However, a dilemma remains: How can CBOs secure resources necessary for change and yet maintain autonomy in definition of development priorities and delivery strategies? The authors examine a community-development model used in central Florida that includes local government support in the formation and activities of a CBO, and they explore the…
Security v. Park and Recreation Service Delivery
The author surveyed more than 900 residents to assess the extent to which park security, a proxy for fear of crime, impacts park usage patterns. Findings indicate that investments in park and recreation services and facilities may be in vain in many cases because residents are reluctant to use the services. Fear of crime is widespread but is particularly burdensome for selected segments of society. For example, female minorities were especially c…

The Impact of Quality of Life on Recruitment and Retention of Key Personnel
Business retention and expansion are pointed to in the literature as being more effective economic development policy in comparison to business recruitment. The ability of a business to attract and retain this nucleus of key personnel is critical for remaining competitive. The quality of life of an area is considered to be an important ingredient for the attraction and retention of key personnel. Public sector investments in quality of life not o…

Neighborhood participation in community development
An Examination of the Perceived Effectiveness of Community Development Corporations
This study reports the results of a nationwide evaluation of community development corporations. Collective models of neighborhood economic revitalization are compared with other strategic approaches to community development. Special attention is given to the policy implications of the findings. The future of community development corporations is discussed, especially in light of Reaganomics and the decline in funds for the urban poor
Community Policing and Community Building
This research uses the responses from more than 500 officers serving a Midwestern city to understand their perceptions of themselves, fellow officers, the police department, neighborhood organizations, and the larger community in relation to community policing. Based on this data, the authors explore how community policing might be used to create a greater convergence of purpose among citizens, neighborhoods, organizations, and the broader well-b…
