Abstract

Police discretion has large potential consequences for public trust and safety; however, little is known about the extent of this discretion. I show that arrests critically depend on which officer responds to a 911 call; 1 standard deviation increase in officer arrest propensity raises arrest likelihood by 40%. High arrest officers are more likely to be white and have less experience. I find mixed evidence that arrest propensity is related to arrest quality. High arrest officers use force more often and make more low-level arrests, while they also have a higher share of low-level arrests that result in conviction.

摘要

警方的自由裁量权对公众信任和安全有着重大潜在影响;然而,对于这种自由裁量权的程度却知之甚少。我发现逮捕情况严重取决于哪位警官接听911报警电话;警官逮捕倾向增加1个标准差会使逮捕可能性提高40%。高逮捕率的警官更有可能是白人且经验较少。我发现关于逮捕倾向与逮捕质量之间关系的证据喜忧参半。高逮捕率的警官更频繁地使用武力,进行更多低级别逮捕,同时他们低级别逮捕导致定罪的比例也更高。
