Assessing the long-term effects of officer race on police attitudes towards the community
This study examines longitudinal changes in police officer attitudes towards the community within the theoretical context of representative bureaucracy theory. The sample consists of 405 male Caucasian, African-American and Latino/Hispanic patrol officers who began employment with the LAPD from 1985 to 1991 under affirmative action hiring. The same officers comprising the panel study were surveyed at two points in time, 1992 (Wave 1) and 2007 (Wa…
The Effect of Intensive Bail Supervision on Repeat Domestic Violence Offenders
This study investigates the relationship between bail supervision and repeat domestic violence. Specifically, a fully randomized experimental design is used to determine if domestic violence suspects who are “intensively supervised” by bailbond agents during pretrial release are less likely than “regularly supervised” suspects to commit a subsequent domestic violence offense. Study results involving nearly 500 subjects over a 3‐year period sugges…

This study examines the qualitative characteristics and determinants of middle‐class graffiti writers and their subculture. Detailed observations and interviews were conducted with 58 suburban graffiti writers over a period of 5 months (November 1992 to March 1993). Results suggest that graffiti writing subcultures, once thought to be limited to lower‐class communities, are not class‐specific. Similarities between lower‐ and middle‐class graffiti…

It draws on the findings of a larger study of the organizational impact of a legally mandated affirmative action program, and focuses on the ratings for job commitment and job satisfaction given by a sample of officers, stratified by gender and race, followin…
