Sociopolitical Networks for Police Role-Making
通过三个案例，分析不同权力主体在地方网络中的互动如何塑造警察角色，重点关注基层警察和工会的影响，以及由此产生的对执法职能的强调和警察自由裁量权的保留。
This paper reviews three cases illustrating how police roles are shaped by the interactions of variably powerful actors in ramified local networks. It focuses attention on the influence of the rank-and-file and police unions on the outcomes of these interactions, and on related tendencies to professionalize and bureaucratize the police; and it posits as a result of these interactions both a normative emphasis in police circles on law enforcement components of the police role and the preservation of police officer discretion in its performance.
