Global reports indicate that 307 million women have suffered physical or sexual intimate partner violence during the last 12 months. Yet, chronic underreporting of domestic violence (DV) is still a reality in the United States and worldwide. The process of going to a police station and reporting DV is extremely burdensome, leading to numerous psychological effects on the victim and lost opportunity cost of stopping the violence cycle. This study investigates the impacts of bypassing police contact by enabling online reporting and requesting of protective orders (POs) in Brazil. Through novel databases and by using a Synthetic Control, I find that online reporting of DV led to a 29.5% increase in the average monthly requests of POs. This translates to roughly 373 new requests of POs. Implications of these findings are discussed.

The global experience of political polarization, and politicians' attacks on democratic institutions, render individuals' identification with the governing coalition, or with its opposition, a likely antecedent of their attraction to work in government. This article examines to what extent individuals' partisan alignment with the governing coalition, and perceptions of its actions as a threat to democracy, shapes attraction to government jobs. Findings are based on a two‐stage survey with 1861 Israeli panel respondents, aged 21–30, carried out during the government's attempt to undermine the legal system (hereafter: the Judicial Overhaul), and a follow‐up survey experiment with 1211 of the respondents. Against the politically neutral explanations of previous research, we show that partisan alignment affects the propensity to choose a job in a government ministry versus other sectors. We find mixed evidence in support of the proposition that perceptions of the Judicial Overhaul as a threat to democracy underlie this effect.

The characteristics of populations benefiting from collaboration are mostly regarded as contextual factors in collaborative theory and research. Drawing on policy design and distributive justice theories, this study seeks to understand how public support for collaboration varies depending on the characteristics of the target population that benefits from collective action. The analysis demonstrates that collaborative arrangements aiding populations considered deserving are more likely to gain public approval than those benefiting negatively constructed groups. We also investigate citizens' attribution of blame for collaboration failure and find that the process appears to be independent of the characteristics of target populations.

The growth of rules in modern democracies burdens citizens, businesses, and administrative bodies. To address this, many governments have implemented so‐called “regulatory offsetting schemes,” requiring the removal of existing rules and regulations for each new one introduced. However, systematic knowledge on which countries have adopted these schemes and their specific designs remains lacking. Our study maps regulatory offsetting initiatives across OECD states and offers a first theoretical framework for understanding government adoption. While political and ideational factors influence the adoption of offsetting schemes, they do not explain their specific design. Offsetting schemes thus reflect the political tensions between advocates for an activist state and supporters of a more restrained government, with design being of secondary importance. These findings enhance our understanding of how governments and public administrations manage rule growth.

Public agencies require timely and reliable evidence to adapt operations and strategies quickly to effectively tackle unanticipated challenges in service to the American people. Federal agencies are generally not well equipped to take full advantage of the resources they own to effectively align with evidence needs. Guidance has been issued to fill this gap, yet federal agencies have not fully adopted the use of evidence, especially performance data, in decision‐making. Moreover, both law and academia provide little guidance on how agencies can connect the demand and supply of knowledge. This paper discusses how the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) of the General Services Administration (GSA) has developed and sustained a framework for collecting and transforming data into reliable evidence to inform decision‐making, that is, created an evidence engine. Federal agencies can learn from the FAS approach to improve their evidence‐building activities to achieve economies of scale, reduce costs, and increase evidence‐informed responsiveness to ever‐changing needs.

Politicians frequently voice criticisms vis-à-vis bureaucracy, its organizations, and its employees. Previous studies point at the negative impact of this “bureaucratic bashing” on public sector morale, recruitment, retention, and citizen perceptions. Yet, systematic evidence on bashing remains sparse, with even less known about its counterpart: bureaucratic praising. This article aims to fill this gap by conceptualizing both phenomena as forms of framing, by distinguishing macro-, meso-, and micro-levels, and by innovatively using organizational reputation theory to develop a multidimensional framework for the systematic analysis of bureaucratic framing. Empirically, we apply this framework to a novel dataset of 70,853 hand-coded tweets posted by 33 Dutch politicians, covering a wide range of ideological viewpoints. We find that politicians do not so much frame the civil service performatively, in terms of being lazy (or hard working), but rather bash or praise bureaucratic organizations for their (im)morality, whereby four moral subdimensions can be identified.
