Scholars across multiple disciplines have identified numerous correlates to police misconduct. Missing, however, from this body of research is the impact of police misconduct on future promotion opportunities in a local police department. Using population data (N = 33,358) released by New York city’s Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) from September 1985 to July 2020, this study employs logistic regression to examine civilian complaints that were found to be substantiated, in comparison to complaints that were found to be unsubstantiated or exonerated, and their effect on police officers moving up in rank beyond the incident. The intent is to examine the relationship between police misconduct and promotion. In addition, recognizing the inherent differences in the promotion process for detectives from all other officer ranks, we found that the odds of detectives being promoted to higher ranks are somewhat impacted by the outcomes of complaints, but not by the types of complaints received. However, our findings suggest that all other officers are impacted by the outcomes of civilian complaints, in addition to the types of complaints received, in terms of promotion. Furthermore, we found that the severity of police misconduct, captured by the CCRB-recommended disciplinary actions associated with substantiated complaints, matters for NYPD officer promotability for first-time offenders differently than for officers who repeatedly engage in misconduct.

Although civilian oversight has been introduced to make the police accountable to citizens and perform better, its effectiveness has not been thoroughly investigated yet. To better understand civilian oversight of the police, this study explores its theoretical basis as an accountability mechanism and suggests how it holds police agencies accountable even without direct disciplinary authority. The data from Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey, the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) program, and the Fatal Encounters (FE) database are analyzed to estimate the effect of civilian oversight on police organizational performance, using a propensity score matching analysis. Among the dependent variables included in the analysis as performance indicators, civilian oversight turns out to have a significant influence only on police agencies’ clearance rates. The police agencies with civilian oversight have lower clearance rates by 2.71 percentage points on average compared to those without civilian oversight. The implications of civilian oversight's negative impact on police organizational performance are further discussed.

This fascinating book calls upon public administration to reorganize and reconstruct its governance and institutional principles on a positive doctrine of public governance based on the classical-liberal ethos. Drawing upon insights from Austria, Virginia, and Bloomington Schools of Political Economy, Aligica, Boettke, and Tarko attempt to bridge the classicalliberal view of political economy, new institutionalism, and public choice with public administration. The book is an endeavor to answer some of the most crucial metaquestions facing the audience in the field of public administration, such as what is the viable role of government in a democratic society? What is the suitable range of government activities and legitimate tools, instruments, and procedures for governing collective affairs? The authors explore the answers to these questions by identifying and exploring the classical-liberal conceptual framework, tools, features, and procedures of the administration of collective affairs. This framework is grounded in “individualism, freedom of choice, freedom of association” (p.25). The authors build and develop their argument by addressing the issue of collective coordination in the public sector through a polycentric understanding of multiple nodes of competing powers. The book is divided into 3 sections and 11 chapters. In section one, “A Distinctive Perspective on Governance,” Aligica, Boettke, and Tarko emphasize the ever-changing logic of the private and public relationships based on Normative Individualism and Public Choice. Building on the work of scholars and philosophers such as F.A. Hayek, James Buchanan, and Vincent and Elinor Ostrom, they explore the public administration field from the angle of “freedom of choice, voluntary association, knowledge, and learning, adaptability and resilience” to find a solution for the knowledge and power problems related to bureaucratic public administration based on “authority, hierarchy, and control” (p.80). The classical-liberal governance approach invites us to govern with citizens; “see like a citizen” rather than rule over citizens; “see like a state” (p.24). Without prioritizing individuals and their choices, there is no democratic view of public administration. As a result, they offer the notion of “Dynamic Governance” as “an adaptive institutional system” that can capture the ever-changing nature of the collective affairs based on “private-public mixed arrangements, quasi-markets, quasi-governments, and nonprofit and civil society organizations” rather than “pure market or a pure government” (p.122). Public governance can often be carried out through civic/ civil society organizations or the third sector. These institutions can limit social conflicts and satisfy the preferences of people who are directly impacted by programs and policies. Based on this view, local knowledge embedded in the complexities of our everyday life plays a critical role. They argue that in contrast to top-down direc
这本引人入胜的书呼吁公共行政在基于古典自由主义精神的积极公共治理学说的基础上重组和重建其治理和制度原则。根据奥地利、弗吉尼亚和布卢明顿政治经济学派的见解，阿里吉卡、博特克和塔科试图将政治经济学、新制度主义和公共选择的古典自由主义观点与公共行政联系起来。这本书试图回答公众在公共行政领域面临的一些最关键的元问题，例如，在民主社会中，政府的可行角色是什么?管理集体事务的合适政府活动范围和合法工具、手段和程序是什么?作者通过识别和探索集体事务管理的古典自由主义概念框架、工具、特征和程序来探索这些问题的答案。这一框架的基础是“个人主义、选择自由、结社自由”(临25)。作者通过对竞争力量的多个节点的多中心理解来解决公共部门的集体协调问题，从而建立和发展了他们的论点。全书共分3节11章。在第一节“治理的独特视角”中，Aligica、Boettke和Tarko强调了基于规范个人主义和公共选择的私人和公共关系的不断变化的逻辑。他们在哈耶克(F.A. Hayek)、布坎南(James Buchanan)、奥斯特罗姆(Vincent and Elinor Ostrom)等学者和哲学家著作的基础上，从“选择自由、自愿结社、知识与学习、适应性与弹性”的角度探索公共行政领域，为基于“权威、等级和控制”的官僚公共行政相关的知识和权力问题寻找解决方案(第80页)。古典自由主义治理方法要求我们与公民一起治理;“像公民一样看问题”而不是统治公民;“像一个国家一样看”(第24页)。不优先考虑个人和他们的选择，就没有民主的公共行政观。因此，他们提出了“动态治理”的概念，认为它是“一种适应性的制度系统”，能够捕捉到基于“公私混合安排、准市场、准政府、非营利和民间社会组织”而不是“纯粹市场或纯粹政府”的集体事务的不断变化的性质(第122页)。公共治理通常可以通过公民/民间社会组织或第三部门进行。这些制度可以限制社会冲突，满足直接受计划和政策影响的人们的偏好。基于这种观点，根植于我们日常生活复杂性中的本地知识起着至关重要的作用。他们认为，与自上而下的政府直接控制相比，与公民共同生产和自下而上的治理对于“解决知识问题”(第130页)至关重要，因为它使人们能够获得当地的、往往是隐性的时间和地点知识。第二部分，“公共选择和公共行政”，首先用一章描绘了公共选择作为古典自由主义精神的主要载体的基础，并将其与公共行政文学及其演变结合起来。在接下来的两章中，Aligica, Boettke和Tarko提供了关于古典自由主义治理理论如何基于“个人(作为规范和分析单位)，自愿协会和自治”的背景和相关性(第153页)。通过讨论文森特和埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆关于新制度主义的学术研究，以及对公共行政作为一种支持自治、竞争、多元主义和多中心的自治安排的民主理解，可以实现这一点。自治的结构是为了回应古典自由主义对公共治理的理解，重视知识和权力问题。它为在一些涉及集体行动困境的政策领域提供资源提供了创新工具。一个繁荣的自治安排为其成员提供了尽可能重要的机会来制定规则并在规则下生活，同时又维护了广泛的社区意识。但要做到这一点，个人必须在制定这些规则(共同制定规则)方面发挥关键作用。在这种情况下，公共治理更多的是由个人激励驱动的社会过程和自发秩序的治理，而不是理想类型和最终状态。它是关于决策、制度和程序之间的私人和公共接口。每一章书评

The public administration literature has demonstrated that the manner in which a network is led is related to its effectiveness. However, why this relationship occurs and whether it is dependent on external circumstances remain unclear. Relying on Provan and Milward's framework of interorganizational network effectiveness and the neo-institutional approach to local leadership, we propose that the manner in which the local authority leads the local network is related to the network's structure, which, in turn, influences its effectiveness. We also propose that this association is contingent on the characteristics of the local authority in which the network exists. Using a sample of 586 network participants from 68 Israeli networks, we demonstrate that the degree to which the local authority is centralized explains the link between the network's leadership and its effectiveness, but only in local authorities with a high socioeconomic status (SES). In addition, we find that in Israeli Arab municipalities such centralization is counterproductive, impeding the network's effectiveness. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

Gender diversity in policing has never been more important than it is today. However, women in state law enforcement are the least noticeable and most underrepresented of all women in policing. Using data from the Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) surveys, this study examines gender diversity across the 49 primary state law enforcement agencies in the United States between 2000 and 2016. Although representation varies broadly across the states, the findings are mostly negative and suggest that women in state law enforcement have remained stagnant over the past two decades with very little improvement. This is important because scholarship must continue to bring attention to the underrepresentation of women in law enforcement, regardless of intergovernmental level, and monitor its progress.

Although network analysis has gained much attention in emergency management studies, there are few systematic reviews of emergency management network studies in public administration. After reviewing 44 journals, this article identified and reviewed a total of 58 studies that conducted network analysis in the context of emergency management. Based on existing literature, this article summarizes the common and unique factors driving network formation and development, describes the structural characteristics of emergency management networks, and reports the performance measures that have been used to evaluate network performance. It concludes by addressing research gaps, presenting propositions and recommendations for future research, and highlighting implications for emergency management practice. The context of this review is emergency management, but the three network research streams focused upon—network formation and development, network properties, and network performance—are relevant to all management and policy domains. This review also underscores the need to further explore the dynamic process of network formation and outcomes of network relationships and structures.

While existing studies have examined the separate effects of local governments’ internal conditions and external environment on local innovation, few have paid attention to their interactive effects. This study examines whether state-level rules regarding local discretion moderate the effects of city governments’ slack resources and learning, using local sustainability innovation as an example. We distinguish two types of discretion (fiscal and statutory) granted by state governments. Applying a difference-in-differences (DDD) approach with a longitudinal dataset of 238 U.S. cities, we find that fiscal discretion strengthens the positive effect of fiscal slack while statutory discretion enhances the positive effect of learning. The findings uncover the complex interactions between multilevel institutional arrangements and local innovation mechanisms.

Ely and Meyerson’s gendered organizations framework reconceptualizes traditional gender differences defined by biology and lack of structural opportunities, to a complex set of social relations in the workplace. We apply this framework to second-generation gender bias to further understand impediments to women's career progression in the public sector workplace. In-depth interviews of state-level administrators in U.S. public sector agencies indicate that “narratives” perpetuate second-generation gender bias that is deeply ingrained in organizational practices and policies, especially for women and women of color. This framework can be applied to future studies examining the gendered nature of organizations in different workplace settings. Moving beyond already identified barriers, this study offers a comprehensive framework to understand how second-generation gender bias is central to long-standing workplace inequities.

This study addresses a missing link in the organizational justice literature—a police chief's trust in their officers. Most organizational and procedural justice studies examine these concepts from an officer's perspective, but fail to capture how leaders perceive their officers. Trust, however, is a relational concept, which implies there might be effects of a leader's trust in their officers. This study addresses if a police chief's level of trust in officers will affect their behavior as related to the release of body-worn camera footage. Body-worn cameras have been adopted across the United States and all over the world. However, if the footage they capture is rarely shared, cameras impact will be minimal. The findings suggest that if a chief has higher levels of trust in their officers, then the chief's willingness to release footage is increased, potentially leading to an improved relationship between law enforcement and communities.

The findings suggest that if a chief has higher levels of trust in their officers, then the chief's willingness to release footage is increased, potentially leading to an improved relationship between law enforcement and communities.","PeriodicalId":22370,"journal":{"name":"The American Review of Public Administration","volume":"13 1","pages":"255 - 267"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86655976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
