Accountability and police use of force: Interactive effects between minority representation and civilian review boards
研究了少数族裔在警察队伍中的代表性如何与平民审查委员会共同影响警察武力使用，发现代表性降低武力使用，且在有审查委员会时效果更强。
I assess a contingency model of representative bureaucracy, suggesting the effect of minority representation, if any, on police use of force is likely to be stronger with external oversight of police. I use OLS regression to examine main and interactive effects of minority representation and the presence of civilian review boards on police use of force in the U.S. I find that representation on the police force is negatively associated with police use of force. However, there is a stronger effect of minority representation on use of force when the department also has a civilian review board, supporting contingency effects.
