Kolluk Kuvvetlerinin Compstat Modeline Duyarlılığı

Öz: Polislerin Compstat’a karşı sergilediği tutum üzerine sınırlı sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır. Karma yöntem metodu kullanılarak yapılan bu çalışma, kolluk kuvvetlerinin Compstat’a olan tutumunu anlamak ve Compstat’a karşı olan hassasiyetlerini etkileyen faktörleri incelemek için üç farklı kolluk teşkilatından 563 polis ile yapılan anketlerden alınan verileri analiz eder. Daha sonra ise, memurların tutumuyla ilgili daha fazla bilgi edinebilmek için nitel veriler toplanmıştır. Anket sonuçları, katılımcıların çoğunun Compstat’a karşı olumlu bir tutuma sahip olmadığını göstermektedir. Sonuçlar; algılanan verimliliğin, kurumların istekliliğinin, yönetime karşı denetleyici tutumun ve değişime olan hassasiyetin memurların Compstat’a olan tutumuna önemli ölçüde etki ettiğini öne sürmektedir. Ayrıca, iş tecrübesinin ve çalışılan teşkilatın da polislerin tutumuna kayda değer bir etkide bulunduğu görülmüştür. Nitel araştırma sonucu elde edilen bulgular; iletişimin, işbirliğinin, rekabetin, uygulama tarzının, baskının ve teşvikin memurların Compstat’a olan tutumunu etkilediğini göstermektedir.

Law Enforcement Officers’ Receptivity to Compstat Model of Policing

Abstract: The limited amount of research on officer attitudes toward Compstat has been conducted. The present study, using a mixed-method design, first analyzes survey data from 563 officers in three law enforcement agencies to understand the attitudes of law enforcement officers toward Compstat and to examine the factors affecting their receptivity to Compstat. Then, qualitative data was collected to gain greater depth of officer attitudes. The survey findings indicate that majority of participants do not hold favorable attitudes toward Compstat. The results suggest that perceived effectiveness, agency readiness, supervisory attitude toward the management, and receptivity to change have a significant influence on officers’ attitudes toward Compstat. It was also found that work experience and departments in which officers work significantly influence officers’ attitudes. The findings of the qualitative data indicate that communication, cooperation, competition, implementation style, pressure, and incentive influence officers’ attitudes toward Compstat.
