“…Indeed, the most notable consequence of controlling for social class and other sociodemographic factors in Lundman's work is that it renders statistically significant bivariate demeanor effects nonsignificant. (Compare especially models 2 and 4 in Table 1-C and models 2 and 4 in Table 2-E on pages 639 and 643 of Lundman, 1994).…”

“…KLINGER whether the encounter occurred indoors (1) or outdoors (0). Some studies suggest that whether police-citizen encounters occur in public or private settings may influence the odds of arrest (e.g., Black, 1976;Lundman, 1974), although there are competing expectations about whether arrest is more or less likely in public locations (Smith and Visher, 1981). The indoor/outdoor indicator is included to control for possible location effects.…”

“…A controversy is brewing in criminology over the role that citizen demeanor plays in police decisionmaking. During the quarter century between 1964 and 1989, nearly a score of quantitative studies reported that the likelihood that police officers will arrest citizens increases as the level of deference citizens display toward them decreases (Black, 1971(Black, , 1980Black and Reiss, 1970;Lundman, 1974;Lundman et al, 1978;Pastor, 1978;Piliavin and Briar, 1964;Smith, , 1986Smith, , 1987Klein, 1983, 1984;Smith and Visher, 1981;Sykes et al, 1976;Visher, 1983;Worden, 1989;Worden and Pollitz, 1984). A recent study, however, challenges these findings.…”

“…Based on this finding, Klinger called for additional analyses of 62 KLINGER the data used in prior studies to see if the demeanor effects they reported will hold up in the face of more rigorous empirical scrutiny. Lundman (1994) recently answered Klinger's call by examining the relationship between demeanor and arrest in two samples of police interactions with citizens that had been used in previous demeanor research. One consisted of 195 public drunkenness encounters (Lundman, 1974), the other 200 encounters with juveniles (Lundman et al, 1978).…”
