ABSTRACT The current study correlates Merton's anomie theory and W. E. B. Dubois's double-consciousness theory to measure black law enforcement officers' reactions to occupational strain resulting from officers' ethnic-identification. Measuring levels of anomic behavior provides a scale for identifying levels of risk affecting the well-being of individual officers and organizations. Testing hierarchal regression models with a national sample of black state- and federal-level law enforcement officers (n = 84) reveals a presence of double consciousness as a significant predictor for levels of anomic behavior in law enforcement occupational cultures. It also further suggests that race remains a significant factor in law enforcement organizations and cultures, whereas many police executives would prefer to believe that race issues in policing are settled.

测量黑人执法人员的双重意识，以了解种族在执法职业文化中的重要作用

摘要目前的研究将默顿的失范理论和WEB Dubois的双重意识理论联系起来，以衡量黑人执法人员对因人员的种族认同而引起的职业压力的反应。衡量非典型行为的水平为确定影响个人官员和组织福祉的风险水平提供了一个量表。通过对黑人州和联邦级执法人员的全国样本（n = 84）进行的分层回归模型测试，发现存在双重意识，可以作为执法职业文化中行为举止水平的重要预测指标。它还表明种族仍然是执法组织和文化中的重要因素，
