Gender representation in police organizations: Do upper‐level and street‐level female bureaucrats differ in their roles?
In: Governance: an international journal of policy and administration, Band 37, Heft 1, S. 241-259
ISSN: 1468-0491
AbstractSome representative bureaucracy literature has suggested that increasing the share of female bureaucrats, particularly in supervisory positions, would not have a substantial influence on producing policy outcomes in favor of female clients because of the potential impact of organizational socialization. However, there has been little empirical investigation into how passive female representation across hierarchical ranks and its interaction influence policy outcomes for women. By analyzing data on 360 local U.S. police organizations in 2013 and 2016, we found that a higher proportion of female officers in first‐line supervisory level positions was negatively linked to arrest performance for rape offenses, while a higher share of female street‐level officers was not significantly linked to arrest performance for the same offenses. However, we noticed a positive interactive effect of the proportion of female street‐level officers and female officers at the intermediate‐level on rape arrests. These results imply that promoting female representation across different hierarchical ranks in police organizations will help to ensure the benefits of representative bureaucracy.

On Wall Street
In: Dissent: a quarterly of politics and culture, Band 61, Heft 2, S. 100-100
ISSN: 1946-0910
For over half a century, Dissent made its home in what was once affectionately called in these pages "the intellectual kibbutz of Manhattan's Upper West Side." The neighborhood was synonymous with Jewish intellectual life. It was a small world, perhaps, with its own "ruts of tradition and conformity," but it was a world that regarded arguing about the larger world as an ethical imperative—in other words, it was a world for Dissent . Most of the magazine's editors lived on the Upper West Side (some still do), and Dissent lived in the apartment of two of its founders, Simone and Stanley Plastrik. The office emerged each morning from a closet and was packed away again by the evening. The magazine needed a new home when Simone died in 1999, but it didn't leave the neighborhood or even move into a commercial office.
Suburban Urbanities
Suburban space has traditionally been understood as a formless remnant of physical city expansion, without a dynamic or logic of its own. Suburban Urbanities challenges this view by defining the suburb as a temporally evolving feature of urban growth. Anchored in the architectural research discipline of space syntax, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of urban change, touching on the history of the suburb as well as its current development challenges, with a particular focus on suburban centres. Studies of the high street as a centre for social, economic and cultural exchange provide evidence for its critical role in sustaining local centres over time. Contributors from the architecture, urban design, geography, history and anthropology disciplines examine cases spanning Europe and around the Mediterranean.
By linking large-scale city mapping, urban design scale expositions of high street activity and local-scale ethnographies, the book underscores the need to consider suburban space on its own terms as a specific and complex field of social practice.

Influenced runoff in the upper and middle basin of the Olt River
In: Revista riscuri și catastrofe: Risks and catastrophes journal, Band 31, Heft 2
ISSN: 2069-7694
Olt River represents one of the most complex hydrographic system, both in terms of the natural factors of the flow and the uses that influence the natural flow. Hydrometric stations on the main course provide good monitoring of the runoff. The most important uses are water supplies and reservoirs. The analysis refers to the degree of runoff influence and the type of influenced runoff. The degree of runoff influence is analysed at all seven hydrometric stations in absolute and relative values. The type of flow affected indicates relative constancy and does not change along the main course.
WORKING PAPER 2 - From home to the street: Children's street-ward migration in Cape Verde
Abstract Since the 1990s Cape Verde has undergone dramatic economic and political transformations that have brought about growing social class distinction. The two main towns (Praia and Mindelo) have grown rapidly in the last decades and their urban structure today reflects the increasing polarisation of the population. Middle and upper class families occupy the older parts of town and the recently built planned areas, while spontaneous neighbourhoods spread without planning on the less valuable land. It is in these latter areas that most social issues associated with childhood and youth have become highly visible in the last decade. In this article I will focus on children's reasons for going to live on the streets of Mindelo, arguing that it is in terms of autonomous mobility within a non-heterogeneous and profoundly divided urban and social space that we can better understand what is commonly defined as the phenomenon of street children.

Quiet street: on American privilege
"A bold and moving exploration of the American elite that exposes how the ruling class-even when well-intentioned-perpetuates cycles of wealth, power, and injustice Growing up on New York City's Upper East Side, Nick McDonell was surrounded by luxury-sailing lessons in the Hamptons, school galas at the Met, and holidays on private jets. It was this rarified life that he explored in his early novels, but then left behind as a war correspondent in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Quiet Street, McDonell returns to the sidewalks of his youth, exhuming his own upbringing, and those of his wealthy peers, with bracing honesty. Through summer safaris and winter ski trips, ill-omened handshakes and schoolyard microaggressions, fox-hunting rituals and sexually precocious tweens, McDonell examines the ruling class in painstaking detail, documenting how wealth and power are hoarded, encoded, and passed down from one generation to the next. Crucially, he also demonstrates how outsiders-the poor, the non-white, the suburban-are kept in the dark. Searing and precise yet always deeply human, Quiet Street examines the problem of America's one-percenters, whose vision of a more just world never materializes. Who are these people, how do they hold on to power, and what would it take for them to share it? Quiet Street pursues these questions through the highly personal, but universal, experience of growing up and coming to terms with the culture that made you"--
