Women in Police Blue: An Organizational Demography of the Gender Composition of Urban Police Patrol Work Groups
This article reaches back to 1990, a time when women were still relatively new to policing and few were engaged in police work. Our goal is to assess the arguments of organizational demographers about the effects of work group gender composition on the performance of women police officers. The results indicate that organizational demographers got things right: Women in police blue are significantly more productive in gender-balanced work groups
Race and Ethnicity Missingness in the Traffic Stop Data Reported by 308 Massachusetts Police Agencies
Data reported by police agencies were at the core of most analyses of Driving While Black in the 1990s and 2000s. There is, however, no previous macro-level research directed exclusively at the accuracy of the Driving While Black traffic stop data reported by police agencies. This article remedies that omission by reaching back across a little more than 10 years to examine data reported by 308 Massachusetts police agencies during April and May of…
Austin Turk, stratification reinforcers and reversals, and traffic ticket decisions by Boston police during April and May of 2001
Are police-reported driving while Black data a valid indicator of the race and ethnicity of the traffic law violators police stop? A negative answer with minor qualifications
Officer gender and traffic ticket decisions: Police blue or women too
Sociologist Austin Turk and Policing: Structural Reinforcers and Reversals of the Positional Authority of Police
Austin Turk (1969) offers a distinctly sociological explanation of policing by theorizing that structural reinforcers (e.g., older police officer, younger citizen) and reversals (e.g., younger police officer, older citizen) of the situationally absolute positional authority of police officers affect the relationship between police officers and citizens. To this point, however, there have been only three direct tests of Turk’s theory ( Greenleaf a…
Vehicle stops by police for driving while Black: Common problems and some tentative solutions
News About Murder in an African American Newspaper: Effects of Relative Frequency and Race and Gender Typifications
Previous scholarly research on selection bias in news about murder indicates that race and gender stereotypes and, to a much lesser extent, the relative frequency of particular murders explain why some homicides are made into news and others are not. However, previous research has directed nearly exclusive attention to white newspapers. The present research remedies this omission by directing attention to the factors that shape selection bias in …
Driving While Black: Effects of Race, Ethnicity, and Gender on Citizen Self‐reports of Traffic Stops and Police Actions
Are African‐American men, compared with white men, more likely to report being stopped by police for traffic law violations? Are African‐American men and Hispanic drivers less likely to report that police had a legitimate reason for the stop and less likely to report that police acted properly? This study answers these questions using citizen self‐reports of their traffic stop encounters with the police. Net of other important explanatory variabl…
Policing Protest: The Control of Mass Demonstrations in Western Democracies
Demeanor or Crime? The Midwest City Police‐citizen Encounters Study
There is agreement in the literature on policing that demeanor and other extralegal variables help determine police decisions. A recent challenge to that agreement has been issued, however. Klinger (1994) has asserted that nearly all previous quantitative analyses of the effects of demeanor and other extralegal variables are fatally pawed because they failed to limit demeanor to spoken words and failed to control for crime. He concluded that all …

Private Corporate Justice: Store Police, Shoplifters, and Civil Recovery
Among the ways corporations use their enormous wealth is to support private justice systems complete with investigative, adjudicatory, and sentencing powers. The present paper advances a sociological analysis of a private corporate justice system and the private police who run it. Our research setting is a full line store of one of the nation's largest corporations. Our focus is private justice for shoplifters in a civil recovery state. Analysis …
Prevention and Control of Juvenile Delinquency
Prevention and Control of Juvenile Delinquency offers complete description and scholarly analysis of major delinquency prevention and control programs. It links what has been done in the past with what should be done in the future. It therefore concludes with clear recommendations for future prevention and control efforts

Newspaper Coverage of Corporate Price‐Fixing: A Replication
Among the reasons common corporate crimes such as price‐fixing lack the “brimstone smell” of common street crimes such as burglary is that newspapers fail to provide frequent, prominent, or criminally oriented coverage of corporate crime. This certainly was true of newspaper coverage of the heavy electrical equipment antitrust cases of 1961. Replicative analysis reveals that this also was true of newspaper coverage of the folding‐carton industry …

Organizational Norms and Police Discretion: An Observational Study of Police Work with Traffic Law Violators
This essay explores the issues involved in designing public policies. It suggests that those programs not well designed will generate inappropriate expectations for success. This lack of design sophistication may not lead to well‐conceived methods for achieving stated objectives. Taking the Low Enforcement Assistance Administration's Community Anti‐Crime Program as an example, the paper analyzes the implicit sociological theory which guided the d…
Police Misconduct as Organizational Deviance
The aim of this paper is to extend and clarify the organizational deviance perspective by focusing on police misconduct. Toward that end the paper defines organizational deviance and police misconduct, illustrates the linkages between natural persons and deviant departments, and considers the public policy implications of viewing police misconduct as organizational deviance

Routine Police Arrest Practices: A Commonweal Perspective
Employing a commonweal conception of police organizations, the central aim of the present study was to determine the extent to which routine police arrest practices suggest police abuse of the societal delegated privilege to exercise non-negotiable coercive force. Public drunkenness encounters occurring in a large midwestern city were analyzed; and it was found that significantly higher rates of arrest were associated with offense conspicuousness…

Deviant Acts by Complex Organizations: Deviance and Social Control at the Organizational Level of Analysis
The study of deviance and social control can be expanded to recognize that (1) organizations, not just individuals, commit deviant acts, and (2) other organizations have responsibilities for preventing or controlling that deviance. This paper focuses on these phenomena. It defines organizational deviance, applies Blau and Scott's cui bono taxonomy to suggest types of organizational deviance, provides a categorization of controller organizations b…

Problems and Strategies in Gaining Research Access in Police Organizations
“Access” is conceived of as involving passage through two gates: one manned by the top‐level authority figures of the organization, and the other by the proposed subjects of one's study. Within this framework, informal contacts, contingent acceptance at successive organizational levels, and self‐selection are identified and discussed as the factors most central to an understanding of our successful access into three police organizations and our f…

Conflict Methodology: An Introduction and Preliminary Assessment
Proponents of conflict methodology have recently asserted that consensus methodologies are ineffective in the study of elite-controlled, large-scale organizations. They have proposed utilization of a variety of techniques which place researchers in a condition of hostile contrast to subject organizations. The purpose of this paper is to introduce and assess the conflict methodology position. It, therefore, identifies the organizational subjects o…

Maintaining Research Access in Police Organizations
This paper explores certain of the general problems associated with maintaining research access in police organizations. Among the problems researchers are likely to encounter are difficulties in communicating and winning the acceptance of street‐level patrol officers, problems in developing a mutually acceptable field role, and threats of premature termination. The solutions suggested include specific and repeated efforts to inform patrol‐level …
