项目摘要

The project will focus on three broad areas of policing: (i) it will measure the quality of police officer recruits using an innovative data set, and examine how this quality is affected by local labour market conditions, such as wages in alternative occupations in the local area. This anonymised data set provides pass/fail marks and test scores for a variety of assessment procedures used during the compulsory national assessment of would-be recruits to the police service, matched to individual characteristics. This data set has been provided to us by NPIA - now the national College of Policing. The project will match this data set to further local police area characteristics. This research will directly impact on several questions relating to public pay - the trade-off between pay and quality of public service; the case, if any, for greater local pay variation in the public sector; and so on. (ii) it will examine the factors that affect the retention rates of police officers. The primary focus will be on exits into retirement (since exit rates of police officers are low until their late-forties); on the management of ill-health (early retirement); and of what career choices are made by retired police officers. This will be of direct relevance to the ongoing reform of the pension and retirement provisions for police officers, and, more generally, to the deployment and 'second career choices' of older workers. (iii) it will assess the scope for local discretion over spending on police officers and the deployment of police officers. The police service is financed by a mixture of central funding and local tax ('the precept') raised via the levy of council tax. The share of police funding varies widely across police authorities. This reflects two broad groups of factors: differences in taxable capacity across council tax jurisdictions and, conditional on central grant allocations, differences in the demand for police services across local area. The research will seek to understand the relative importance of these factors using a variety of proxy measures of taxable capacity and demand derived from published data and accounts provided by CIPFA. Given the recent election of Police and Crime Commissioners, and an increasing emphasis on decentralisation of decision-making on police budgets, this topic will be of interest to both academics and policy-makers at the national and local level.

该项目将侧重于警务工作的三个广泛领域：㈠将利用一套创新数据衡量新征聘警官的质量，并研究这种质量如何受到当地劳动力市场条件的影响，例如当地替代职业的工资。这一匿名数据集提供了在对警察部门的潜在新兵进行强制性国家评估期间使用的各种评估程序的及格/不及格分数和考试分数，并与个人特征相匹配。这个数据集是由NPIA提供给我们的-现在是国家警察学院。该项目将使这一数据集与当地警区的进一步特点相匹配。这项研究会直接影响与公务员薪酬有关的几个问题？公务员薪酬与服务质素之间的平衡;公营部门的本地薪酬是否有较大差异等。（ii）研究影响警务人员留用率的因素。主要重点将是退休（因为警察在40多岁之前的离职率很低）;健康状况不佳（提前退休）的管理;以及退休警察的职业选择。这将直接关系到正在进行的警察人员养恤金和退休规定的改革，更普遍地说，关系到老年工人的部署和“第二职业选择”。(iii)它将评估地方在警察开支和警察部署方面的酌处权范围。警察服务的资金来自中央资金和通过征收理事会税筹集的地方税收（“戒律”）。各警察当局的警察经费比例差别很大。这反映了两大类因素：各理事会税收管辖区的应纳税能力差异，以及以中央拨款为条件的各地方对警察服务的需求差异。这项研究将试图了解这些因素的相对重要性，使用各种代理措施的应税能力和需求来自公布的数据和帐户CIPFA提供。鉴于最近选举了警察和犯罪专员，并且越来越重视警察预算决策的权力下放，这个话题将引起国家和地方层面的学者和政策制定者的兴趣。
