Volunteer Behavior among Asian American Groups in the United States
Volunteer Behavior among Asian American Groups in the United States Richard A. Sundeen Cristina Garcia Lili Wang1 Volunteering is any activity of giving time freely for the benefit of another person, group, or cause.2 The number of people and the hours volunteered in a country indicates the vitality of its civil society. It is estimated that 65.4 million American people volunteered at least once to an organization in 2005 and that, on average, pe…
Family Life Course Status and Volunteer Behavior
This paper reports the findings of a study that examines the relationship between family life course status (based on marital status, parenthood, and age of youngest child) and volunteer behavior. Also, the impact of being a single parent on volunteering is examined. Married parents are more likely to volunteer generally and, specifically, in certain youth-oriented activities. However, the status of married-with-children is negatively associated …
Volunteer Participation in Local Government Agencies
Using data collected in a national survey of 1,638 individuals regarding volunteer behavior, this article examines factors related to volunteer participation in local government activities. The findings suggest that among all volunteers (regardless of sector), those individuals residing in cities with populations of under 100,000, in central cities, and in states where limitations on local tax revenues have been imposed are most likely to volunte…

As reductions are occurring in the revenue base of communities for the provision of public goods and services, their capacity to generate volunteer activity in the form of coproduction becomes an important resource. This study explores the rela tionship between community and police department characteristics and the inten sity of use of citizen auxiliary police officers. Data was obtained from 18 cities in Los Angeles County for comparison. The a…
Coproduction and Communities
While coproduction has been the topic of a growing number of scholarly articles, this literature has neglected the relationship between coproduction and community. The concept of coproduction is rooted in the older and broader theoretical framework of community; because community contexts differ, so does the local capacity for coproduction. A typology of "alternative auspices" under which various local functions are carried out suggests that copr…

The Great Paradox of Democratic Citizenship and Public Personnel Administration
That democracy and professional public service are potentially inimical is one of the supreme ironies of government and public affairs. The problem appears to have been discovered by Woodrow Wilson. I It has worried students of public affairs ever since 1887.2 The problem is simply stated: In democracies the governors and the governed are indistinct; an unmanipulated public both makes and obeys its own laws.3 Such a seemingly bland statement has …
Coping With Crime in a Developing Country
The purpose of this article is to describe the various responses to the crime problem in Port Moresby and to compare the fear of crime among three groups living in Port Moresby (college staff, college students, and senior level managers). Urban crime has become a major problem and a public issue in Port Moresby and the various responses to it are similar to those found in the U.S.: individual strategies for maintaining security, ad hoc collective…

A Four‐dimensional Perspective on Police Typologies
Using factor analysis with variables previously assumed to be conceptually bipolar, four dimensions of police juvenile bureaus are suggested: juvenile specialist, community service, local, and organizational orientations. Further analysis shows these four types to have different relationships with legalism, community satisfaction, and personalized treatment of juveniles
