Can community policing improve police-community relations in a low-income country setting?
Community-oriented policing (COP) is one of the most widely touted mechanisms for building bridges between police forces and the communities they serve. But evidence on the effectiveness of COP is surprisingly scant. We present results from one of the first randomized controlled trials to evaluate the impact of COP in the Global South. The COP initiative we study was locally designed and funded by the Ugandan government. Contrary to our expectati…
Why Do Citizens Support Ineffective Military Policing Policies? Evidence from Field and Survey Experiments in Colombia
Neighborhood associations and community development
Neighborhood associations (NAs) help build social capital, enhance a sense of community, and elevate civic engagement. While urban researchers have studied NAs, there has been limited systematic observation of alliances of NAs. This research examines how neighborhood alliances (NALs) facilitate the creation and expansion of community capital that impact grassroots governance. We examine six NALs in Omaha, Nebraska that represent more than 120 act…
International Gender Balancing Reforms in Postconflict Countries
In the aftermath of civil conflict, war-torn states often require reform of their government institutions. Gender balancing, or the inclusion of more women in security-sector institutions, is an increasingly common reform incorporated into state-building processes. Our theoretical priors suggest that gender balancing may influence unit cohesion, operational effectiveness with respect to sexual and gender-based violence, and organizational gender …
Theory–Practice Exchange in Local Government Management
The connection of theory to practice in public administration represents a critical transfer of information between scholarship and application. This important relationship establishes a basis of exchange among those engaged in the field, a bond that may be most magnified and accessible at the local levels of government. This study examines the perspectives of practitioners and scholars toward improving the theory–practice exchange in local gover…
Smart growth principles and the management of urban sprawl
Employing a policy communities framework to compare implementation efforts among a set of cities, this study seeks to answer the question: do public policies advocated by the Smart Growth Network, a coalition of organizations promoting a specific policy agenda, provide cities with policy initiatives, guidance, and tools that manage urban sprawl. In other words, do policy advocacy coalitions promote policies that actually manage sprawl? The author…
State rural development policy
A partnership of the federal government and the states implement rural community development policy today, yet researchers rarely examine the nature and efficacy of this extensive intergovernmental collaboration. The authors collected data on Community Development Block Grant awards made by one state to small and rural communities for a variety of development projects over a period of more than ten years, and using a modified rural classification…

The Effects of Urban Sprawl on Birds at Multiple Levels of Biological Organization
"Urban sprawl affects the environment in myriad ways and at multiple levels of biological organization. In this paper I explore the effects of sprawl on native bird communities by comparing the occurrence of birds along gradients of urban land use in southwestern Ohio and northern California and by examining patterns at the individual, species, community, landscape, and continental levels. I do this by assessing the distribution and abundance of …
Policy Tools Theory and Implementation Networks
Implementation today often takes place indirectly; public service is now delivered through intricate administrative links among public, private, and nonprofit organizations, resulting in complex organizational networks. In this article, the author will draw on the literature of policy tools and implementation networks to empirically study the structure of the new collaborative public-service delivery systems. The policy area that has been selecte…
Managing Urban Growth
Research shows the social and economic costs of uncontrolled or rapid urbanization, yet promoting growth remains synonymous with urban development in most American communities into the 21st century. Growth management consists of public policy initiatives by city officials to lessen the adverse impacts of urban sprawl. This article examines local growth management in terms of the mechanisms of policy implementation tools. The emerging body of rese…
