초록

Police use of force continues to occupy the interests of researchers and policymakers. Over the past decades, the focus of research on police use of excessive force has changed from emphasizing individual perspectives to emphasizing socioecological and organizational perspectives. Given that organizational factors affect police use of excessive force, researchers have looked toward formal and informal aspects of organizations to gain a better understanding of what influences use of force. In the current study, supervisory willingness to discipline as well as the “Code of Silence” were hypothesized to affect officers’ attitudes toward police use of excessive force. Using Klockars’ survey data collected from 3,232 officers in 30 police agencies, the current study tested two hypotheses by estimating the impact of supervisory willingness to discipline and the “Code of Silence.” Using hierarchical linear modeling, the current study discovers the “Code of Silence” has greater influence on officers’ attitudes toward use of excessive force than supervisory willingness to discipline. Policy implications and limitations are discussed.

Abstract

Police use of force continues to occupy the interests of researchers and policymakers. Over the past decades, the focus of research on police use of excessive force has changed from emphasizing individual perspectives to emphasizing socioecological and organizational perspectives. Given that organizational factors affect police use of excessive force, researchers have looked toward formal and informal aspects of organizations to gain a better understanding of what influences use of force. In the current study, supervisory willingness to discipline as well as the “Code of Silence” were hypothesized to affect officers’ attitudes toward police use of excessive force. Using Klockars’ survey data collected from 3,232 officers in 30 police agencies, the current study tested two hypotheses by estimating the impact of supervisory willingness to discipline and the “Code of Silence.” Using hierarchical linear modeling, the current study discovers the “Code of Silence” has greater influence on officers’ attitudes toward use of excessive force than supervisory willingness to discipline. Policy implications and limitations are discussed.
