Criminology Police Organizations Research and Planning Units Special Units Police Innovation Organizational Innovation This study takes an organizational perspective to examine the adoption of research and planning units by 58 American municipal police departments. Two rival hypotheses are tested: 1) an organizational complexity hypothesis, 2) an environmental complexity hypothesis. T-test analysis supported the organizational complexity hypothesis and found that large, complex police organizations were more likely to have adopted a research and planning unit. The conclusion of this thesis discusses these findings, describes some problems with researching organizational innovation, and suggests remedies to these problems. 2009-07-31 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1245286505 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1245286505 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
