Abstract

ABSTRACT Policing in the United States is currently undergoing a serious workforce crisis. Drawing on Van Maanen’s police socialization theory, we suggest that police recruiting videos provide an opportunity for departments to send clear signals to recruits about their attitudes and values that will improve recruiting. We employ a randomized vignette survey design to test the effectiveness of recruiting videos. Our findings demonstrate that college students indicate a greater willingness to become a police officer when recruiting videos focus on police officers’ service to the community. This effect is particularly strong for students who indicate they desire to make a positive change in the world.

为改变而招聘:转移焦点以解决劳动力危机

美国的警察目前正经历着严重的劳动力危机。根据Van Maanen的警察社会化理论，我们建议警察招聘视频为部门提供了一个机会，向新兵发出关于他们的态度和价值观的明确信号，从而改善招聘。我们采用随机调查设计来测试招聘视频的有效性。我们的研究结果表明，当招聘视频关注警察对社区的服务时，大学生更愿意成为一名警察。这种影响对于那些表示他们希望在世界上做出积极改变的学生来说尤其强烈。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
