Abstract
Following the Spring of 2020, there has been a notable surge in attention toward issues related to policing and instances of police misconduct. This review takes stock of the policing literature in Public Administration field between 2017 and 2023. A total of 202 empirical articles on policing were identified in Public Administration. Findings indicate that in Public Administration, policing studies are in majority focused on the management of police organizations, rather than on the police-citizen nexus or police behavior. There has not been an important shift in themes and subthemes covered by articles since 2020. Policing articles in Public Administration are mostly cross-sectional, theoretically scattered, methodologically balanced, and often include practical recommendations, albeit vague ones. We offer a research agenda for policing and public administration scholars.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
