- Description
- This paper focuses on how male and female officers respond to citizens differently in terms of providing comfort. Results from this analysis indicate that neither officer attitude nor behavior is dictated by officer sex, but other important variables interact with sex to explain attitude and behavior. Situational factors are most important in determining officer behavior.
