The Guardian 6/3/2020 News Police Leadership of Tomorrow: Comprehensive Compstat Performance Management Moving From Stagnation to Innovation In 1994 New York City began its police performance management system called Compstat – compare statistics. It is now used by many law enforcement agencies throughout the world. Its use, however, is generally confined to reducing crime. Police departments’ roles in a democratic society is far more complicated: protecting Constitutional rights, preventing corruption from within, working under the authority of the people (the social contract), delivery of a wide variety of services not involving criminal enforcement and developing community partnerships. These are only a few ideas about the difficult role police have. We present evidence from a survey we conducted in 2012 with the New York City Police Department with a sample of 1,962 retired officers of all ranks. The survey demonstrates how performance management can morph into a top-down numbers crunching bureaucracy whose focus on crime fighting fails to accomplish the true mission of police in democracies. Moreover, federal, state and local political demands in the United States and other countries may exacerbate the problem. We suggest a path forward using transformational leadership, Compstat and community policing as vehicles for changing police, police bureaucracy, and police culture.

Missing, however, are the women of color, as all previous studies capture women as a homogeneous group without regard to race/ethnicity. Using a combined survey dataset from sworn female officers (n = 1,189) employed by two federal law enforcement agencies, this article employs multiracial feminism as a framework to differentiate women’s experiences in the workplace and provides an exploratory analysis of occupational barriers utilizing an intersectional approach to race and gender. Specifically, this study employs an independent-samples t-test to explore the responses between White women and minority women, as well as each minority racial/ethnic group. The findings suggest women of color collectively, as well as individual minority racial/ethnic groups, have varying workplace experiences and perspectives in comparison to White women, especially in response to a perceived glass ceiling to promotions, an inclusive work culture, and experiencing sex discrimination. Women and Criminal Justice - Registration at source 5/3/2020 Research article How Wide Is the Political Divide? Respondent Political Affiliation and Victim Criminal Background Affects Perceived Guilt of Police Who Shoot Children African Americans/Black citizens in the United States are far more likely to be shot by law enforcement officers (LEOs) than European Americans/White citizens. A limited amount of research examines factors contributing to perceived consequences for police who shoot civilians, especially respondent political affiliation. The present study tested how different factors influenced perceived outcomes for LEOs who shoot youth using case vignettes in a diverse sample of 1044 participants. Vignettes included a shooting scenario that manipulated victim race/ethnicity, LEO race/ethnicity, and victim criminal history across vignettes. Results indicated a main effect of the presence or absence of criminal history on: perceived guilt of perpetrator, whether the perpetrator should be fired from their job, whether the perpetrator should be incarcerated, and whether the victim’s family should be monetarily compensated. There was also a robust main effect of political affiliation, such that conservative political affiliation was associated with more lenient views on all outcomes for the LEO. Additionally, several noteworthy interaction effects were observed. Overall, results suggest that, along with situational factors, political affiliation strongly influences the perceptions of guilt and other consequences for police officers who shoot civilians. Differential messaging is warranted to improve public perceptions of LEOs based on political affiliation.
