THIRD PART OF FINAL REPORT ON ASSAULTS ON OFFICERS IN 1973 IN OKLAHOMA, NEW MEXICO, ARKANSAS, TEXAS, AND LOUISIANA DISCUSSES ORGANIZATIONAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND POLICE ACTIVITY FACTORS AS THEY RELATE TO ASSAULTS.
Abstract
THE FIRST STUDY OF THIS VOLUME FOCUSES ON THE POLICE ORGANIZATION IN AN EFFORT TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT ASSAULTED OFFICERS PERCEIVE THEIR WORKING ENVIRONMENT DIFFERENTLY THAN NON-ASSAULTED OFFICERS. NEXT, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLICE ASSAULTS AND 31 ENVIRONMENTAL AND POLICE ACTIVITY CHARACTERISTICS IS EXAMINED FOR 46 CITIES USING CORRELATION AND MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSIS TECHNIUQES. FOLLOWING THIS, THE RESULTS OF A MICROANALYSIS OF ASSAULTS ON POLICE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS ARE REPORTED. THIS VOLUME CONCLUDES WITH A COMPREHENSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LITERATURE WHICH, ALTHOUGH SELECTED FROM MANY DIVERSE FIELDS, NEVERTHELESS WAS FOUND TO BE INTEGRALLY RELATED TO THE PROBLEM OF POLICE ASSAULTS. FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND VOLUMES, SEE NCJ-17024 AND 17025. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
