Counties generally fulfill three service roles: traditional or
state-mandated; local or municipal; and regional or urban. Benton
has written the first scholarly treatment of county governments as
providers of all three of these types of services, dispelling the
notion that counties are mere providers of services they are
mandated to perform by their state governments. County governments
in the United States have become increasingly important as service
providers over the past several decades, vis-a-vis municipalities
and townships. These services change over time and vary from region
to region.
Variations in the roles that county governments play in the
provision of traditional, local, and regional service are
explained. Therefore, in addition to examining multiple indicators
of service roles for all 3,043 counties in the United States, the
analysis is extended to investigate the influence of political,
state constitutions, statutes, and financial aid, population growth
patterns, metropolitan/non-metropolitan status, and form of
government.
