Book excerpt: SOME DISCLAIMERS It is somewhat unusual to begin a book by declaring what it is not, but the topic of police behavior is so complex that it requires the writer to state as early as possible the limits of what he has written here to describe and explain a police officer's experience. In order for the reader to get a clear idea of what areas of police behavior are to be described, it is nec essary to delineate those aspects of police behavior that are beyond the scope of this book. First of all, this book is about the psychological effects of police work on policemen: male police officers. Nearly all of the police officers with whom I have worked have been men, so my impressions and opinions are based on the experiences of male police officers. Consequently, descriptions and expla nations of the motivations, anxieties, psychological defenses, and resultant behavior of police officers must be limited to policemen. I believe that there are significant differences in the psychological effects of police work on men and women, but this book does not address this issue.

Book excerpt: This first major empirical work on the semiotics of social action goes a long way toward answering substantive, theoretical and pragmatic questions on how codes actually operate in a specific social setting. It underscores the important yet often ignored role of the police as "sign" or "information workers."Calls to the police represent a rich variety of human troubles, concerns, and needs by focusing on how police handle calls from the public, how they ascertain what a call means and what should be done with it, and how this is transformed through subsystems within the organization, Peter Manning provides a novel way of looking at organizational communication."Symbolic Communication "provides examples of how members of an organization interpret their environment - in this instance, how the meaning of a call to the police is transformed as it moves across the boundaries of the organization (a transformation that involves a series of codings and recodings ensuring a continuous loose linkage of organization and environment). Manning shows why the police act in ways that differ from the way citizens and politicians would have them act, revealing the uncertainties that surround a policy agency's responsiveness. And he points out how today's computer technologies constrain the coding process, limiting in particular the effectiveness of the 911 systems used in most of our major cities.Peter K. Manning is a Professor of Psychiatry and of Sociology at Michigan State University and a member of the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies at Oxford. "Symbolic Communication "brings to fruition themes and ideas introduced in his previous books, "Police Work "and "The Narc's Game. Symbolic Communication" is included in the Organization Studies series, edited by John van Maanen.

Download or read book Protesting Affirmative Action written by Dennis Deslippe and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the process of balancing ideals of race and gender equality with competing notions of colorblindness and meritocracy, they even borrowed the language of the civil rights era to make far-reaching claims about equality, justice, and citizenship in their anti-affirmative action rhetoric. Deslippe traces this conflict through compelling case studies of real people and real jobs. He asks what the introduction of affirmative action meant to the careers and livelihoods of Seattle steelworkers, New York asbestos handlers, St. Louis firemen, Detroit policemen, City University of New York academics, and admissions councilors at the University of Washington Law School. Through their experiences, Deslippe examines the diverse reactions to affirmative action, concluding that workers had legitimate grievances against its hiring and promotion practices.

Book excerpt: Measures of job satisfaction were compared for foot and motorized patrol officers in Flint, Mich., with attention to sense of job significance, opportunities for career advancement, and attitude toward work. Interviews were conducted during 1984, five years after the experimental Neighborhood Foot Patrol Program began and over one year after the expansion of foot patrol to the entire city. All 64 foot patrol officers were interviewed, as were 50 randomly selected motorized officers. Officers ranked their responses to a series of questions on Likert-type scales. T-tests were used to compare responses. To a statistically significant degree, foot officers, more than motor officers, felt they were doing an important job in the Flint Police Department and in their patrol areas, keeping up with problems in their patrol areas, improving police/community relations, performing the job the police department views as important, and working as part of a police team. Both foot and motor officers felt, to a significant degree, that foot officers had more difficulty communicating with headquarters and other police units, and motorized officers had more difficulty maintaining high morale and achieving job satisfaction. To a significant degree, foot patrol officers felt their present assignments had good to average impact on their chances for career advancement and were more enthusiastic about their positions compared to when they entered the police department. Job satisfaction was dependent upon the type of patrol in which officers were engaged rather than the variables of age, gender, race, military experience, or years of police experience. Tabular data and 18 footnotes are provided. National Neighborhood Foot Patrol Center publications are listed.
