摘要:

This review focuses primarily on personality characteristics of policemen. The data substantiate, with some qualifications, the existence of a nonpathological “modal police personality.” Methodological weaknesses prevent, however, an assessment of the relative developmental contributions of predisposing self‐selection effects, socioeconomic class determinants, organizational selection and selective attrition, occupational socialization, and role‐specific be

摘要:

A national survey of Police‐Community Relations Units was made to analyze their size, emergence, purpose, structure and recruitment procedures, internal and external support, handling of complaints and evaluation, rapport and dress, and extent of racial integration. While these units appear to be leaders in certain areas, problems of internal support and substantive external change are noted. The survival of Police‐Community Relations Units may necessitate their stopping short of promoting the kind of substantive change necessary to alleviate confl

摘要:

White and black police officers were seen in weekly sessions involving role playing and interpersonal feedback during academy training, the purpose being to improve communication and relationships between black and white officers. Contrary to expectation, white officers became both more sensitized to the presence of black‐white problems and more prejudiced toward blacks, whereas black officers who attended became more positive toward whites. It was felt that results were due in part to a perception by white officers that the program was initiated for the benefit of blacks rather than for al

摘要:

Radical increases in racial animosity between white and black officers were found from the time of entering the academy until eighteen months later. All officers seemed to become more hedonistic, impersonal, and detached, and to develop feelings of hostility toward authority figures. As black officers progressed through the academy and on into regular police work, they became increasingly negative toward whites and disillusioned with the department; they began to shift in the direction of a greater sense of black unity and polarity against whites. While blacks saw greater preference being given to whites, white officers perceived the converse with the result that they became also more ethnocentric and polarized. Little evidence was found to indicate that a police experience molds men to feel a greater sense of social concern, or that it motivates them to improve relationships between races.

摘要:

Based on an evaluation of an OEO police‐community relations experiment, a new conceptual framework, is proposed, defining police‐community relations as a power relationship with three interrelated dimensions (efficiency, responsiveness, and representativeness) which are related to a behavioral model of personality development and characteristics. Data analyzed within a modified pretest, posttest control group design for police and citizens assess the merits of inservice training versus racial representativeness in improving police responsiveness to ghetto definitions of police roles, functions, and accountability to the community. Key conclusions are: (a) in‐service training is not always an appropriate means, (b) citizens must be involved, and (c) training of citizens to assume responsibility in law enforcement and police‐community relations mus

摘要:

An experimental model was used in two cities in Connecticut to bring about improved police‐community relations. Participants in the program were 300 police officers up through the grade of captain and 150 civilians representing militant, conservative, and community organizations. Questionnaires given to the police before and after the six‐week program indicated dramatic favorable change in the policeman's attitudes toward himself, youth, and Puerto Ricans. However, attitudes toward blacks did not improve and in some cases regres

摘要:

In a retreat‐like setting, a voluntary group of police officers was given several days training in better communication and learning about oneself and others. In the midst of the training, the trainees were recalled to active duty to help deal with a race riot. After the riot they returned to training. The total program appeared to be successfu
