FUNCTIONS OF POLICING?
Professor Zhao Ji-hong, University of Nebraska at Omaha This seminar examines change in the character of organizational priorities across the three core functions of American policing--crime control, order maintenance, service rovision--in an era of community policing. Relying upon a panel data from national surveys of 200+ municipal police departments conducted in 1993 and again in 1996, the goal is to analyze the nature of contemporary organizational change in policing. Two competing perspectives--those of contingency theory and institutional theory are tested for their ability to account for survey findings. The primary findings indicate that police priorities have remained largely unchanged during this period. Rather than representing a systematic adaptation to a changing environment, COP would seem to represent for many police agencies a method of strategic buffering of a largely unaltered core police operation reflective of the professional model. |
