摘要

Purpose - Studies of police organizations typically involve examining predictors consistent with structural contingency theory while comparatively fewer have examined the applicability of institutional theory. The purpose of the current study is to examine the influence of institutional factors on the elaboration of organizational structure, specifically the incorporation of a crime analysis unit into a police organization's structure. Design/methodology/approach - Data were obtained using a 2002 mail survey of law enforcement agencies focusing on the crime analysis function and environmental factors influencing the organization of that function. Additional information complementing the survey data was obtained through telephone interviews with representatives from 12 of the surveyed departments. Findings - Multivariate results show that, consistent with contingency theory, size is an important predictor of structural elaboration. Analyses and interview responses suggest that institutional factors, particularly accreditation standards, may play some role in shaping organizational structures. Research limitations/implications - The survey was returned by 160 agencies for a response rate of 56 percent but analyses were based on relatively small samples of 67-77 agencies. Telephone interviews were conducted using a purposive, non-probability sampling method. Practical implications - The results of this exploratory study provide insight into factors contributing to the adoption of structures and strategies in policing. Originality/value - The research is one of only a small number of studies in policing to explicitly test propositions derived from institutional theory, particularly the concept of institutional isomorphism.
