Women’S Representation And Status In Law Enforcement: Does Calea Involvement Make A Difference?, David Burlingame, Agnes L. Baro

Peer Reviewed Publications

This study’s objective was to determine if involvement in the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) accreditation process will have a significant, positive effect on the representation of sworn women in large police agencies at all organizational levels and on the representation of women of color as a percentage of the total workforce. This study compared 193 large (100 or more sworn personnel) non-CALEA agencies with 201 large CALEA agencies. Results of this research suggest that there are significant differences between CALEA and non-CALEA agencies and that involvement in the CALEA accreditation process appears to encourage and facilitate …

Human Resources Management: An Exploration Of Strategic Human Resources Management In Michigan Police Organizations, Jason L. Hunt

Masters Theses

There exists in the law enforcement community an antiquated notion that reactive management policies and practices are sufficient for the day-to-day operations of police organizations (Tafoya 1986,1990; Manning, 1997; Anderson, 2000). The law enforcement community remains highly resistant to change and unfortunately maintaining the ‘status quo’ inhibits the ability of police organizations to prepare for the uncertainties of an ever-changing environment (Tafoya, 1990; Manning, 1997; Anderson 2000).

The research presented here demonstrates the need for the law enforcement community to evaluate management strategies and move toward proactive management practices that are promoted from within the organization rather than from outside …

Race, Performance, And Baseball Card Values, John D. Hewitt, Robert Muñoz Jr., William L. Oliver, Robert M. Regoli

Peer Reviewed Publications

This study reports on a search for racial disparities in the value of baseball cards for Black and White members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF). The study’s sample of 51 players was derived from the population of the 96 players elected to the HOF since 1936 by the Baseball Writers of America. Although the authors found that race produced no statistical difference in Black and White players’ card values, they did observe that players’ career performance plus the availability of a player’s card (scarcity) exerted a significant effect on the value of cards. The study concludes with …

Racial Profiling: National Legislation Policy Analysis, Latasha Chaffin

SPNA Review

Racial profiling was traditionally viewed as an issue that primarily affected African-Americans and Latino Americans. After September 11th the issue of racial profiling has expanded to more directly affect Central and South Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, members of other communities perceived to originate from the Middle East and immigrants and Americans of foreign descent. These communities are joining with African-American and Latino communities to support national racial profiling legislation on a broader level, not just in traffic stops, but in regulation of all interaction with law enforcement including at airports. The national racial profiling legislation debate presents three …
