Much research on policing focuses on individual officer decision
making in the field, but officers are positioned within
organizations. Organizational characteristics, including
structures, policies, management, training, culture, traditions,
and the environmental context affect individual officer behavior
and attitudes. Recent high-profile controversies surrounding
policing have generated interest in examining what factors may have
led to current crises. In this book, contributors discuss how
police department priorities are made; how departments respond to
sexual assault complaints; how forensic scientists deal with job
stress and satisfaction; how police use gun crime incident reviews
for problem solving and information sharing; how police officers
view the use of body-worn cameras given their perceptions of
organizational justice; and how officers view their work culture.
The purpose of this book is to give policy makers and scholars some
guidance on the interplay between the individual and the
organization. By understanding this dynamic, police administrators
should be able to better devise reform efforts. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Crime and
Justice.
