• Is bigger better? An analysis of economies of scale and market power in police departments, Fegley & Growette Bostaph (2018). Policing: An International Journal. Outcome recorded: failed. Findings Southwick's results for New York State are markedly different from the results found for Idaho, thus questioning the external validity of Southwick's model as applied to a relatively low-population state. The findings also indicate that, controlling for relevant variables, crime in Idaho is highly correlated with population, suggesting that police departments in low density/population states would not achieve efficiency gains through consolidation. Outcome read from the abstract. View paper
