- 요약The power over criminal justice policy, both to prevent crime and to administer justice afterward, is a core governmental power. This dissertation examines the political and institutional factors that influence the adoption of policing and criminal justice policies. Across three empirical studies, I explore how crime rates and electoral politics influence legislative and bureaucratic policymaking. The first study evaluates the determinants of shall-issue handgun licensing across the states. The second investigates the adoption of Law Enforcement Officer Bills of Rights [LEOBR] legislation at the state level. The final study analyzes the factors driving the adoption of body-worn cameras by sheriff's offices nationwide. Collectively, these studies illuminate whether policing policy is primarily a response to crime or is shaped more by political incentives. I study the adoption of shall-issue laws from 1981 to 2014 using event-history analysis. Shall-issue laws establish state-level standards for the permitting of concealed-carry firearms licenses. I hypothesize and test that firearms ownership rates in a state and increasing rates of violent crime are both positively associated with shall-issue adoption. I find support for the hypothesis that the number of gun owners in a state, as proxied by the percentage of firearm suicides, is positively associated with the subsequent adoption of shall-issue licensing in a state. I find mixed support for the role of violent crime, as that variable is sometimes statistically insignificant in certain specifications. The second study evaluates the adoption of Law Enforcement Officer Bills of Rights at the state level from 1974 to 2014. LEOBRs are state-level bills that provide police and other law-enforcement agencies with procedural protections against certain forms of internal and external oversight. I hypothesize that states are more likely to adopt LEOBRs when they have at least one Republican-controlled chamber and experience crime rates above the national average, and my findings support this hypothesis. However, states with Republican legislatures are, overall, less likely to adopt LEOBRs than Democratic legislatures, which account for most of the adoptions in the sample. Adoptions of LEOBRs are positively associated with higher private-sector unionization rates and the presence of Republican voters for president in otherwise Democrat-controlled states. The final study analyzes the adoption of body-worn cameras [BWCs] by sheriff's offices using survival analysis on data from 3,131 U.S. counties and equivalents from 2010 to 2020. BWCs are portable video devices that can greatly increase transparency and accountability in law enforcement. I hypothesize that shootings by law enforcement officers are predictive of BWC adoption. I test that hypothesis with nationwide county-level fatal shooting data from 2015 to 2020. I find support for that hypothesis in smaller models. However, that finding is sometimes reversed in multivariate and interactive specifications. The two most consistent positive predictors of adoption come from outside the scope of my theory: the county-level Democratic presidential vote share and prior adoptions of body cameras by other sheriffs in the state positively predict body camera adoption.
