Abstract:
|
Literature seeking to explain variation in social control outputs draws primarily from group conflict theory. Empirical tests of racial or economic threat hypotheses tend to find support using city- or within city-level designs. This structural theoretical approach, however, is limited because it (1) often neglects the explicit consideration of the immediate community political environment in which police agencies operate, and/or (2) makes ambiguous assumptions about the causal mechanisms at work. Drawing from top-down and horizontal theories of political control of public bureaucracies, this paper tests several propositions that explain police agency resource allocation decisions. Using both cross-sectional and time-series data from a major metropolitan setting, the paper tests the extent to which political variables explain and mediate the distribution of officers. |
