This study examines complexity as a measure of support for organizational redirection. This study considers whether 16 items (culture, mission, values, decentralization, policies and procedures, administrative reporting practices, weapons, contract, pay, benefits, patrol boundaries, equalization of workload, size of boundaries, communications, 10-codes, and car numbers) appropriately characterized a suppressed measure of complexity related to complex organizational change, a police department merger. The current study utilizes data collected from 390 sworn officers from two merged law enforcement agencies in Kentucky. The results of the structural equation model analysis supported the view that four factors (mission, logistics, benefits, and policy) fashion an underlying construct for measuring complexity related to organizational change/redirection. The implications of these findings are also considered.

AbstractThis study examines extralegal factors that predict arrest in domestic violence cases from one urban police department in the state of New Jersey. Initial analysis revealed that 40% of reported cases (N = 5,728) resulted in the suspect’s arrest. Bivariate analyses identified several predictors of arrest, including victim gender, victim/suspect relationship, cohabitation, and victim unemployment. At the multivariate level, cohabitation and victim unemployment were the strongest predictors of arrest. These findings are discussed in the context of a growing body of literature that examines the influence of extralegal factors on arrest decisions in domestic violence cases.
