Chapter 1. A Sketch of the Policeman’s Working Personality
This chapter suggests a thesis of Jerome Skolnick that has informed decades of research on the social psychology of policing as an occupation: that through a confluence of pressures that include exposure to danger, problems of authority, police solidarity, and the need for efficiency, police officers develop distinct ways of perceiving the world around them. As a result, this “working personality” tends to facilitate a suspicious comportment on t…
The Politics of Protest
Triggered by the massive and often violent civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, in 1968 the Johnson Administration created the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence to analyze violent protest and to make recommendations on how to reduce it. The report that Jerome H. Skolnick and his team of researchers produced in the remarkably short time span of seven months had a significant influence on policymakers …
A Critical Note on Conceptions of Collective Behavior
The study of "collective behavior" has always had a curious place in sociology. No one has ever been happy with the state of the field; much effort is spent periodically in trying to define its boundaries and to pin down its elusive subject matter. Granted that classificatory schemes always have elements of arbitrariness, and that he recognizes that events in the real world may be more complex than his categories, there remains a more fundamental…
Legacies of Legal Realism
In this article, I trace the history of the sociology of law from its roots at Yale Law School to the present. The legal realists, situated at Yale Law in the 1930s, saw the law as an instrument of policy. Building on this foundation, the Yale Law faculty pioneered the sociology of law in the 1950s, and the Russell Sage Foundation supported the then-emerging field's development in the 1960s. Philip Selznick was a major theorist and institution bu…

Policing Should Not Be for Profit
Enduring issues of police culture and demographics
I address two issues about police and policing that David Sklansky has raised in two important papers one (as yet unpublished) on what he calls ‘the police subculture schema’ (Sklansky 2007 Sklansky, D.A. 2007. “Seeing blue: Police reform, occupational culture, and cognitive burn-in”.

Racial Profiling—then and Now
Corruption and the Blue Code of Silence
This paper examines the 'Blue Code of Silence' and its contribution to police corruption. After offering evidence for the existence of such a code, the paper locates the origins of the code in the work and culture of policing. The paper also examines cases, commission reports and an original case study to understand how the code is reinforced. Based on 'participant observation' research of the New York County Prosecutor's Official Corruption Unit…
Urban Crime Control Theory
Community Policing
Police departments across the USA are busily reinventing themselves, adopting a new style known as community policing. Police departments that succeed in adopting this new stance have an entirely different relationship to the public that they serve. Chicago made the transition, and this book examines why it did, how it did it, and how well it worked

Family in Transition
America has undergone a psychological revolution in the past 2 decades. 20 years ago people defined their satisfactions and problems in terms of how well they lived up to traditional work and family roles; today people have become more introspective more attentive to inner experience. Because of the continuing stream of new family scholarship as well as shifts in public attitudes toward the family each edition of this book is different from the p…
America's Problems
Professors Currie and Skolnick place special emphasis on the underlying economic causes of social problems and the social policies that fail to address them. The text's research-oriented approach introduces students to the empirical aspects of sociology by discussing how research is done and how data is compiled and analyzed. A comparative perspective on major topics exposes students to American social problems in context to other nations. This e…
Crisis in American institutions
Theme and Variation in Community Policing
Community policing appears to be increasingly popular around the globe. Recent research in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia indicates that community policing is a coherent concept grounded on the notion that, together, police and public are more effective and more humane coproducers of safety and public order than are the police alone. Programmatic elements constituting community policing include community-based crime prevention, re…

A Zoning Merit Model for Casino Gambling
Casino gambling is legal in Nevada and Atlantic City, New Jersey. Should other states follow their example? States seem to express slight moral concern about legalizing gambling, as witness the proliferation of lotteries and legal betting on horse races. Casino gambling is scarcely less moral than lotteries and horse racing, but it does have distinctive problems, notably a history of organized crime involvement and general shadiness. Neither Neva…

Justice without trial
An empirical study of police shows how value conflicts of democratic society create conditions that undermine the capacity of police to respond to the rule of law. Data for the study were drawn from an examination of criminal law officials in a city of approximately 400,000 with a nonwhite population of about 30 percent. The gathering of data began in the summer of 1962 and extended into the summer of 1963. The city involved is reputed to have an…
A Critical Note on Conceptions of Collective Behavior
Collective behavior" theory has its roots in antidemocratic theorists of nineteenth century Europe, espe cially LeBon. American sociologists have modified but not eliminated these biases, particularly the imputation of "irra tionality" to collective action. Yet evidence suggests that rioters, for instance, are more "rational" than is often sup posed, and that authorities are also capable of "irrationality." In this paper, we critically examine Sm…

Social Research on Legality
We should all be indebted to Professor Auerbach for having broadened our horizons with the addition of numerous citations. I should like to reassure him that they were not excluded because, as he suggests, I might have “thought none of them had any value for the kind of theory . . . the sociologist of law ought to elaborate.” Many of them are doubtless “relevant” but, as I pointed out early in the article, I omitted all manner of “relevant” liter…
