Police Effectiveness

Civilianisation refers to utilising non-sworn personnel to perform certain roles within police organisations. While the civilianisation of policing has been examined in a variety of contexts, it has generally been in relation to attempts to improve police efficiency. The current literature is much less focused on efforts to intentionally seek out civilians to improve police effectiveness, which, we suggest, is likely to apply in the case of police responses to cyber-crime. Using empirical data collected with three specialist cyber-crime units in Australia, we explore the arguments for and against civilianising cyber-crime units as a strategy to improve police capacity, as reported by police and civilian members of these units. We consider these arguments in relation to a broader debate as to whether it is better to improve police capacity by employing civilian experts or attempt to develop greater expertise on cyber-crime among police.

Through interviews ( n = 40) and surveys ( n = 140) with separate samples of U.S. defense attorneys practicing criminal law in a Northeastern state, we utilize a mixed-methods approach to explore police procedural transgressions (e.g., pretextual stops, overreaching searches) during stops, searches, and seizures. With a structural equation path model, we examine whether and how procedural justice (an assessment of “the means” to control crime) and police effectiveness (an assessment of police performance or “the ends”) affect each other and influence perceptions of police legitimacy. Our findings indicate that procedural justice enhances perceptions of police legitimacy, whereas police effectiveness does not have an effect. Policy implications for developing mechanisms that discourage procedural transgressions by police are discussed.

The Way

Citing evidence on intercity differences in crime rates, as well as differences in rates of increase for several kinds of crime, this paper argues that police departments differ in their effectiveness. The key to an understanding of effectiveness lies in the way police departments themselves are organized. How individual police men perform their occupational duties depends in part on how these duties are defined. In order to understand these definitions and the pressures which affect the way police perform their work, it is necessary to adopt a "systemic" view of legal and illegal forces in society. Determinants of police effectiveness are ex plored, through examples from the control of organized crimes, by relating the way departments interact with other legal and illegal organizations.

The paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the issue perceived effective policing through leaderships’ diversity training learning outcomes and cultural competence. The main purpose of this quantitative correlational study was conducted to address if and to what extent the leadership of law enforcement agencies is learning outcomes of diversity training initiatives and the level of cultural competence of leadership influences law enforcement organizational effectiveness. Systematization of literary sources and approaches for solving the problem of effective policing leadership indicates that this quantitative research study expands police leadership knowledge base by identifying whether significant differences exist in police effectiveness when incorporating diversity training initiative learning outcomes and cultural competence both exclusively and collectively. The relevance of the decision of this scientific problem is that police leadership possessing the knowledge and understanding police effectiveness through diversity training initiative learning outcomes and cultural competence can adapt and adjust in concert with the need to be more effective in Black and multicultural commutes based on the study’s findings. The statistical significance indicated in this study concerning diversity training initiative learning outcomes predicting police effectiveness is substantial. The paper presents the results of this empirical analysis study that may contribute to the positive national senior management change by bringing into focus the role of effective policing through leaderships’ diversity training learning outcomes and cultural competence and its positive impact on the public sector. Keywords: Cultural Competence, Diversity Training, Management Effectiveness, Multicultural Leadership, Management Decision, Business Ethics.
