Abstract

Nationwide protests and the ensuing “defund the police” movement reignited debates surrounding the allocation of resources to police departments and police militarization. A commonly examined program of militarization is the Department of Defense's (DoD) 1033 Program, which provides excess DoD equipment to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies (LEA). While the program does transfer lethal military-grade equipment, most transfers are non-lethal equipment/items. Thus, the degree of participation in the 1033 Program reflecting the “warrior cop mentality” may be overstated. Instead, 1033 Program participation may reflect police cultural framing and rational decisions of how best to meet the needs of their expanding mandate, including providing electrical grid support and natural disaster relief. In this paper, we qualitatively code over 125,000 LEA 1033 justifications for individual items to illuminate how LEAs define their role in society amid their shifting mandate. Results reveal a complex relationship between entrenched cultural patterns and changing demands and needs of departments.

用于执法目的：1033 计划与不断扩大的警察任务之间的复杂关系

全国范围的抗议活动和随之而来的 "为警察拨款 "运动再次引发了围绕警察部门资源分配和警察军事化的争论。美国国防部（DoD）的 1033 计划是一项常被研究的军事化计划，该计划向联邦、州和地方执法机构（LEA）提供多余的国防部装备。虽然该计划确实转让了致命的军事级别装备，但大多数转让的都是非致命装备/物品。因此，反映 "警察战士心态 "的 1033 计划参与程度可能被夸大了。相反，1033 计划的参与可能反映了警察的文化框架和理性决策，即如何最好地满足其不断扩大的任务需求，包括提供电网支持和自然灾害救援。在本文中，我们对超过 125,000 份执法部门 1033 计划的单项理由进行了定性编码，以阐明执法部门如何在不断变化的任务中界定其在社会中的角色。结果揭示了根深蒂固的文化模式与不断变化的需求和部门需要之间的复杂关系。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest. Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
