The link between military service and crime has been a subject of investigation for several decades. Although research has examined the likelihood of arrest, incarceration, and recidivism across military cohorts, relatively little is known about the circumstances surrounding police contact and suspect behavior at the exact moment of arrest. This is a critical oversight given that what transpires during an arrest can have a marked impact on downstream criminal justice outcomes, including access to diversionary programming like veterans treatment courts. Using a nationally representative survey of prison inmates, this study analyzes veteran and nonveteran self-reports of their arrest controlling for a host of relevant demographic, mental health, and criminal history variables. Findings indicate that veterans are significantly less likely to resist the police at arrest. These results provide further support to the sentiment that military culture and training can have a lasting behavioral influence on those who experience it.
几十年来,服兵役和犯罪之间的联系一直是人们调查的主题。尽管有研究调查了军队中被逮捕、监禁和再犯的可能性,但相对而言,在被逮捕的确切时刻,人们对警方接触的情况和嫌疑人的行为知之甚少。这是一个关键的疏忽,因为在逮捕过程中发生的事情会对下游的刑事司法结果产生显著影响,包括进入退伍军人治疗法庭等转移注意力的项目。本研究利用一项全国代表性的监狱囚犯调查,分析了退伍军人和非退伍军人关于他们被捕的自我报告,控制了大量相关的人口统计、心理健康和犯罪历史变量。调查结果表明,退伍军人在被捕时反抗警察的可能性要小得多。这些结果进一步支持了军事文化和训练可以对经历过它的人产生持久的行为影响的观点。

Although humans have voluntarily joined militaries throughout history, research on the motivation to enlist has increased dramatically since the adoption of the All-Volunteer Force in the United States. Moskos categorized the motivations to enlist as institutional (the value alignment of the individual with the military) or occupational (the seeking of monetary rewards for competencies at market rates). This study explores the prevalence of these two traditional motivations in addition to two less commonly studied motivations—group mobilization and revenge-seeking—in an important context: the Kurds of northern Iraq. A survey of 2301 Kurdish soldiers (Peshmerga) during their war against the Islamic State (IS) indicates that institutional motivations are the most prevalent, although all four motivations are present. The importance of group mobilization and revenge-seeking represent important variations from the better-studied Western contexts that complicate our understanding of the motivation to enlist.
虽然人类在历史上自愿参军,但自从美国采用全志愿军以来,对入伍动机的研究急剧增加。莫斯科方面将参军的动机分为机构动机(个人与军队的价值观一致)和职业动机(以市场价格为能力寻求金钱回报)。本研究探讨了这两种传统动机的普遍程度,以及两种不太常见的动机——群体动员和寻求报复——在一个重要背景下:伊拉克北部的库尔德人。一项对2301名库尔德士兵(自由斗士)在与伊斯兰国(IS)作战期间的调查表明,尽管所有四种动机都存在,但制度动机是最普遍的。团体动员和寻求报复的重要性代表了西方背景的重要变化,这些背景研究得更好,使我们对入伍动机的理解复杂化。

The belief that a military veteran candidate receives an electoral benefit at the polls based on a history of military service remains a widely held assumption in American politics. However, this assumption of a veteran electoral bonus has rarely been studied by scholars and the limited literature displays mixed results. This article presents the findings of a new study that addresses the mixed results in the literature and presents evidence that demonstrates that certain types of military veteran candidates do gain a veteran bonus in congressional elections. This advantage over nonveterans is conditioned by party, the type of race, and the nature of military service. By analyzing general election races for the United States Senate over 34 years (1982–2016), the study uncovers support for Democratic candidates with military service receiving an electoral bonus at the polls. This electoral bonus is most widely enjoyed by Democratic veterans in open Senate races and with experience in deployed warzones. The key findings suggest that previous conclusions in the literature with respect to establishing a veteran bonus in congressional elections should be reexamined to expand the time period of analysis, restructure the characterization of military experience beyond a binary variable, and include both House and Senate elections.
美国政界普遍认为,有过兵役经历的退伍军人候选人在民意调查中会获得选举优势。然而,学者们很少对老兵选举奖金的假设进行研究,有限的文献显示出不同的结果。本文介绍了一项新研究的发现,该研究解决了文献中的混合结果,并提供了证据,证明某些类型的退伍军人候选人确实在国会选举中获得了退伍军人奖金。这种优于非退伍军人的优势取决于政党、种族类型和服兵役的性质。该研究通过分析1982年至2016年34年的美国参议院大选,揭示了在民意调查中获得选举奖金的服兵役的民主党候选人的支持率。在参议院公开竞选和在战区部署经验的民主党老兵中,这一选举红利最为普遍。主要研究结果表明,应该重新审视文献中关于在国会选举中建立退伍军人奖金的先前结论,以扩大分析的时间周期,重构军事经验的特征,使其超越二元变量,并包括众议院和参议院选举。

What Not to Worry About in the Policy–Academy Gap Debate: A Contrarian Take 政策-学院差距辩论中不用担心的问题:一个相反的观点

This assessment of the “policy-academy” gap is part of a special forum stimulated by Michael Desch’s book, Cult of the Irrelevant. Those who write about the academy–policy gap worry that the gap is too narrow, resulting in ethical compromise, or too wide, resulting in marginalization of key academic voices. I argue both concerns are overdrawn. In particular, I argue that there is a healthy exchange between academic specialists and the policy community, at least as healthy as any during a mythical golden era. Moreover, quantitative methods are not a bogeyman exacerbating the gap; high-quality quantitative scholarship can make important contributions. Finally, claims that academic realists face unfair disadvantages in contributing to policy are not well-supported by the evidence. In truth, there is a fairly healthy marketplace of ideas in the policy community, at least as healthy as what prevails in the academy.
对“政策-学院”差距的评估是迈克尔•德施的书《无关者的崇拜》(Cult of the Irrelevant)所激发的一个特别论坛的一部分。那些写学术与政策差距的人担心,这种差距太窄,会导致伦理上的妥协,或者太大,会导致关键学术声音的边缘化。我认为这两种担忧都有些过头了。我特别指出,学术界专家与政策界之间存在着健康的交流,至少与神话般的黄金时代一样健康。此外,定量方法并不是加剧差距的妖怪;高质量的定量学术可以做出重要贡献。最后,声称学术现实主义者在为政策做出贡献时面临不公平的劣势,并没有得到充分的证据支持。事实上,在政策界有一个相当健康的思想市场,至少与学术界盛行的思想市场一样健康。

The Achilles Heel of Recruiting Women: Perceived Gender Equality as a Key Determinant of the Military’s Employer Attractiveness Among Women 招募女性的阿喀琉斯之踵:认为性别平等是军队雇主对女性吸引力的关键决定因素

The German Bundeswehr, like other NATO forces, seeks to recruit more women in order to improve its gender balance and to meet its personnel needs. However, previous research on military recruitment has paid little attention to women. Given that the (German) military is still a male-dominated organization, we argue that women’s opinion regarding the realization of gender equality in the military may very well be the Achilles heel of recruiting women. Based on the assumption that women value gender equality in the work environment, we test the hypothesis that women are more attracted to the military as a (potential) employer, the more they think the military has achieved gender equality. A multivariate analysis of nationally representative survey data from Germany from 2019 provides empirical evidence to support this hypothesis. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
与其他北约部队一样,德国联邦国防军也在寻求招募更多的女性,以改善其性别平衡并满足其人员需求。然而,之前关于军队招募的研究很少关注女性。鉴于(德国)军队仍然是一个男性主导的组织,我们认为女性对军队中实现性别平等的意见很可能是招募女性的阿喀琉斯之踵。基于女性在工作环境中重视性别平等的假设,我们测试了这样一个假设:女性越被军队作为(潜在)雇主所吸引,她们就越认为军队实现了性别平等。对2019年德国全国代表性调查数据的多变量分析提供了支持这一假设的经验证据。讨论了实际意义和理论意义。

This article analyzes civil–military relations and the issue of civilian control through the lens of new managerialism. It illustrates that the means and mechanisms applied by governments to govern the military actually shape its organization and affect its functions in ways not always acknowledged in the civil–military debate. We start by illustrating the gradual introduction of management reforms to the Swedish Armed Forces and the growing focus on audit and evaluation. The article thereafter analyzes the consequences of these managerialist trends for the most central installation of the armed forces–its headquarters. It further exemplifies how such trends affect the work of professionals at the military units. In conclusion, managerialist reforms have not only changed the structure of the organization and the relationship between core and support functions but have also placed limits on the influence of professional judgment.
本文从新管理主义的视角分析军民关系和文官控制问题。它表明,各国政府用于管理军队的手段和机制实际上以军民辩论中并不总是承认的方式塑造了军队的组织并影响了军队的职能。我们首先说明瑞典武装部队管理改革的逐步实施以及对审计和评价的日益重视。文章随后分析了这些管理主义趋势对武装部队最中心的设施- -其总部的影响。它进一步说明了这种趋势如何影响军事单位专业人员的工作。总之,管理主义改革不仅改变了组织结构和核心职能与支持职能之间的关系,而且还限制了职业判断的影响。

Scholarly debates on civil–military relations often focus on how the military impacts society. Adding to the vast literature of civil–military relations, this article examines how socio-cultural practices and societal developments in the host society affect the military. Based on long-term ethnographic engagement with the Ghana Armed Forces, the piece presents empirical observations of how culturally informed practices, such as begging via proxies (djuan toa), infiltrate the Ghanaian military barracks and affect the institutions’ functioning. The article illustrates how two additional elements, skewed recruitment practices and the politicisation of the rank and file, are used as tools by political factions, such as Ghana’s two most prominent parties (the New Patriotic Party and National Democratic Congress), seeking to gain control over the Ghanaian military. The article analyses how these approaches contribute to undermining the armed forces’ discipline and military professionalism and consequently affect the military institution as a whole.
关于军民关系的学术争论往往集中在军队对社会的影响上。除了大量关于军民关系的文献之外,本文还研究了东道国的社会文化习俗和社会发展如何影响军队。基于与加纳武装部队的长期民族志接触,这篇文章展示了对文化知情做法的实证观察,例如通过代理人乞讨(djuan toa),如何渗透到加纳军营并影响机构的运作。这篇文章说明了另外两个因素,即偏颇的征兵做法和普通士兵的政治化,是如何被政治派别用作工具的,比如加纳的两个最重要的政党(新爱国党和全国民主大会),它们试图控制加纳的军队。文章分析了这些做法如何破坏军队的纪律和军事专业精神,从而影响整个军事机构。

Transformational Leadership in Extreme Contexts: Associations with Posttraumatic Growth and Self-Efficacy Among Combat Veterans 极端情境下的变革型领导:与退伍军人创伤后成长和自我效能的关系
IF 1.4 3区 社会学 Q3 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2021-07-06 DOI: 10.1177/0095327X211030610

Decades of research have established transformational leadership as an encompassing leadership approach with broad applications across organizational contexts. Despite dozens of meta-analyses and many empirical studies demonstrating the direct performance effects of transformational leadership, ways in which transformational leaders shape follower personal development and well-being remain largely unexplored, particularly in extreme contexts such as military combat. Based on a sample of 130 combat veterans of multiple conflicts, we examined the impact of transformational leadership in combat on follower posttraumatic growth and follower self-efficacy after deployment, including the moderating effects of the duration and intensity of combat. Moderated regression modeling and analyses demonstrated that transformational leadership was associated with follower posttraumatic growth among lengthier combat deployments, as well as with follower self-efficacy independent of combat duration and intensity. Our findings suggest that transformational leaders frame extreme contexts as opportunities for growth, and further implications for research and practice are discussed.
几十年的研究已经确立了变革型领导作为一种包容性的领导方法,在组织环境中具有广泛的应用。尽管有数十项元分析和许多实证研究证明了变革型领导对绩效的直接影响,但变革型领导者影响下属个人发展和福祉的方式在很大程度上仍未被探索,特别是在军事战斗等极端环境中。本文以130名经历过多次冲突的退伍军人为样本,研究了变革型战斗领导对服役后随从创伤后成长和自我效能的影响,包括战斗持续时间和战斗强度的调节作用。适度回归模型和分析表明,变革型领导与长期战斗部署中的追随者创伤后成长相关,并与战斗持续时间和强度无关的追随者自我效能感相关。我们的研究结果表明,变革型领导者将极端环境视为成长机会,并讨论了对研究和实践的进一步影响。

Our findings suggest that transformational leaders frame extreme contexts as opportunities for growth, and further implications for research and practice are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47332,"journal":{"name":"Armed Forces & Society","volume":"114 1","pages":"849 - 871"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80251184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Military spouses are situated at the junction of the military and civilian worlds. They provide necessary support to military strategic and operational objectives and are also expected to perform a traditional spousal role of the ‘good’ military wife. This article demonstrates the existence of strong military partner archetypes which guide military community norms and expectations of spousal behaviour. In 14 qualitative interviews and five focus groups with Australian military partners, participants revealed many different, yet firm, sentiments related to identity, including fierce independence; a sense of belonging; self-reliance; a desire to help others; belief in fairness and pragmatism. The archetypes outlined in this article shape how partners see their role, and how they interact with other non-military partners and the military organization. This research delivers insights into optimizing military partner services to better support spouses through deployment, relocation and other military experiences.
军人配偶处于军民世界的交界处。她们为军事战略和行动目标提供必要的支持,也被期望扮演“好”军嫂的传统配偶角色。这篇文章证明了强大的军事伙伴原型的存在,它指导军事社区规范和配偶行为的期望。在与澳大利亚军事伙伴的14次定性访谈和5个焦点小组中,参与者透露了许多与身份相关的不同但坚定的情绪,包括强烈的独立;归属感:归属感;自力更生;帮助他人的愿望;公平务实的信念。本文中概述的原型塑造了合作伙伴如何看待他们的角色,以及他们如何与其他非军事合作伙伴和军事组织进行交互。这项研究提供了优化军事伙伴服务的见解,以便通过部署、搬迁和其他军事经历更好地支持配偶。
