Empowering justice: Female police officers’ perspectives on advocating for female victims in South Korea
We conducted qualitative research in South Korea by interviewing female police officers to gain insight into the processes of female representation. The findings show that female officers generally accept representative roles for female victims. Still, such determination can manifest through various behaviours, which may not always translate into tangible law enforcement outcomes. Additionally, the male-dominant culture in police organizations ma…
Rethinking Gender Representation in Policing: Experimental Insights on Citizen Trust and Cooperation in South Korea
This study extends the literature on symbolic representation by examining how increased female representation affects citizens' attitudes in policy areas that are not typically salient to women. A survey experiment with South Korean citizens tested whether a greater presence of female police leaders overseeing patrol programs affects public trust in the police and willingness to cooperate, but the results showed insignificant effects for both wom…
Gender-Based Passive and Active Representation: Systematic Analysis of the Literature
This study systematically reviews the literature to explore the conditions under which gender-based passive representation is translated into active representation. The findings reveal that women’s active representation varies across policy domains and hierarchical levels. Existing research, however, is largely confined to a narrow set of domains and countries, limiting the generalizability of conclusions. Moreover, systematic categorization of c…
Symbolic effects of representative bureaucracy in policing: An experimental replication in a Korean context
This study experimentally examines the effect of gender representation of a police organization responsible for handling domestic violence, and how this impacts Korean citizens' views toward the police. Findings show that male participants gave the highest ratings of legitimacy and fairness when the organization is equally represented by men and women, while gave low ratings of legitimacy and efficacy to the organization where women are over‐repr…
Gender representation in police organizations: Do upper‐level and street‐level female bureaucrats differ in their roles
Some representative bureaucracy literature has suggested that increasing the share of female bureaucrats, particularly in supervisory positions, would not have a substantial influence on producing policy outcomes in favor of female clients because of the potential impact of organizational socialization. However, there has been little empirical investigation into how passive female representation across hierarchical ranks and its interaction influ…
Does an Increased Share of Black Police Officers Decrease Racial Discrimination in Law Enforcement
Based on representative bureaucracy theory, the current study investigates whether increasing Black representation in police forces is negatively associated with racial discrimination in law enforcement. This study additionally investigates how associations may differ according to the organizational or environmental contexts of the forces. Results show that an increased share of Black officers is associated with decreased police-involved deaths o…
Do Body-Worn Cameras Change Law Enforcement Arrest Behavior? A National Study of Local Police Departments
Controlling police officers’ discretionary behavior during public encounters has been an important issue in U.S. policing, especially following several high-profile police-involved deaths of racial minorities. In response, body-worn cameras (BWCs) were introduced to enhance police accountability by providing police managers an opportunity to monitor police–public encounters. Although many U.S. local police departments have now implemented BWC pro…
Contingency factors explaining policy adoption: Body-worn camera policy across US states
Understanding the Adoption and Implementation of Body-Worn Cameras among U.S. Local Police Departments
The national debate about police use of force against racial minority residents has led to increased attention to body-worn cameras (BWCs) as tools for increasing police accountability. Although researchers have documented the effectiveness of BWCs, little research has been done to examine why police departments decide to use them in the first place. Based on an innovation framework, the current study aims to explain what factors determine police…
