About In Search of Police Legitimacy: Territoriality, Isomorphism, and Changes in Policing Practices (Criminal Justice: Recent Scholarship)

Cooper answers two why do police precincts look similar, despite being situated in very different environments? And, why do police engage in behavior that does not result in crime control? These two questions are closely related. Drawing from institutional theory and employing spatial analytic techniques, Cooper finds that certain police precincts unduly influence the behavior of neighboring precincts. In the language of institutional theory, this is sovereign precincts behave similarly because they see other precincts as leaders. Such isomorphism results in behavior that does not reduce crime because the borrowed behavior has no connection with the precinct’s immediate environment. These findings hold great potential for inducing organizational change by tapping into the strategic power of such sovereign precincts.
