Abstract

Reform efforts of the 1960s have lead, in the 1970s, to proposals to modify the organizational structure of police agencies, to increase police responsiveness to the community' and to enhance the job satisfaction of the increasinglv well-educated police officers. This paper discusses four such organizational models and critiques a notion (peer accountability' as a primary control mechanism) central to these proposals in the light of recent research.
