Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Do institutional arrangements affect police-public interactions? Is civility better maintained under administrative systems of government, or is democratic policing more peaceful under systems of political control? I examine the impact of council-manager, mayor-council, and commission systems on police-caused homicide using data from twenty-nine cities in twenty states and the District of Columbia selected at random from metropolitan statistical areas with populations over 100,000 from 1994 to 2004. I argue that council-manager systems manage civic relations in a manner that minimizes the extent to which the police use violence in their interactions with the public. I show that council-manager systems contribute to significantly fewer police-caused homicides. This study of the impact of city structure on democratic policing provides evidence that management by administrative professionals allows the police to peacefully uphold the rule of law rather than simply responding to political control.
