Exploring law enforcement’s views of de-policing: a vignette research design
ABSTRACT There is an assumption that the police work environment, which now includes cell phone videos, social media posts, and heightened media attention, is causing police officers to avoid activity that risks exposing them to negative publicity. Commonly referred to as ‘de-policing’ or ‘the Ferguson effect,” officers are assumed to be retreating from proactive law enforcement tactics. In order to uncover the views of law enforcement, police personnel from New York and Texas responded to an online survey that included a vignette. The scenario described several conditions that might impact an officer’s decision-making, and a final decision by the officer in the vignette. The findings suggest two somewhat contradictory views of law enforcement personnel with respect to de-policing. First, respondents clearly disagree with an officer’s decision to simply avoid a suspicious incident. Second, police officers may also be framing their decisions based on a potential threat to their career. Implications for law enforcement leaders are also discussed.
期刊介绍:
Criminal Justice Studies, a quarterly refereed journal, publishes articles that deal with substantive criminal justice and criminological issues. The journal welcomes all articles that are relevant to the issue of criminal justice, as well as those that may be outside the field but have relevancy to the topic of criminal justice. Articles that cover public administration, issues of public policy, as well as public affairs issues are welcome. The journal also publishes relevant literature reviews, research notes and summary reports of innovative research projects in criminal justice. Qualitative and quantifiable articles are sought mainly from academics and researchers in the field, though articles from professionals will also be considered.
