Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics data from 1999 through 2013 were analyzed to document trends in both the number of sworn volunteers and the prevalence of agencies using sworn volunteers. While there has been a modest decline in the use of sworn volunteers since 1999, in 2013, about 36% of all local law enforcement agencies used sworn volunteers; furthermore, these volunteers comprised 7% of all local sworn personnel having arrest authority nationwide in 2013. A survey of peace officer standards and training agencies found that approximately two thirds of states required state-level certification of sworn volunteers.

Halesowen News 31/7/2018 News Racial Threat, Social (dis)organization, and the Ecology of Police: Towards A Macro-Level Understanding of Police Use-of-Force in Communities of Color In this paper, we examine use-of-force incidents as neighbourhood processes to understand how rates and levels of use-of-force vary across New York City. We suggest that there are two distinct outcomes of force by the police: number of use-of-force incidents and level of force. Applying theories of racial threat, social disorganization, and Klinger’s ecological theory of policing, we conceptualize use-of-force as a neighbourhood phenomenon rather than individual events. Our results suggest that rates and levels of force operate in some distinct ways. In particular, while we find that use-of-force is concentrated in Black neighborhoods, and is also more severe in Black neighbourhoods, neighbourhoods with higher racial and ethnic heterogeneity have decreasing force incidents, but with increasing severity. This may reflect different types of policing, with high rates of low-level police harassment occurring in primarily poorer, Black neighbourhoods, and more isolated but severe incidents occurring in middle-income and wealthier mixed neighbourhoods. Justice Quarterly - Registration at source 31/7/2018 Research article Using Multiple Flawed Measures to Construct Valid and Reliable Rates of Homicide By Police The study of homicide by police (HbP) has been hampered by measurement error in existing data. This study draws from three separate flawed data systems and uses confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to quantify and correct for these errors. Results show that the CFA models presented can be used to construct more valid and reliable measures of sub-national HbP rates. The improved measures are useful for conducting analyses of causes and correlates of HbP. The implications of these findings for future research are discussed.
