Ba, Nayoung Rim, Roman Rivera Abstract This paper examines whether officers with high prior alleged misconduct are more likely to make convictionless arrests (arrests that result in no or dismissed charges or where the defendant is found not guilty). Using the Chicago Police Department's rotational duty calendar to obtain plausibly exogenous variation in the set of officers assigned to work on a particular day, we find that high-misconduct officers make statistically significantly more arrests for nonindex crimes and in situations involving high officer discretion, compared to their no-misconduct peers. Our findings also suggest that downstream legal actors, such as prosecutors and judges, may be partially "correcting" these arrests.

PMR — pp. 1-29 2026-08-11 Original Citizens’ support for behavioural public policy and trust in government: evidence from two online experiments Paolo Belardinelli, Martin Lodge Abstract We explore citizens’ support for behavioral interventions by distinguishing interventions that exploit citizens’ bounded rationality through choice architecture (Nudge) from those that challenge bounded rationality by promoting reflection through deliberative forums (Think). We also examine the role of trust in government in shaping these preferences. Findings from two experiments involving 3,010 US participants show that citizens are more willing to support Think rather than Nudge. Whereas the adoption of Nudge, as compared to Think, does not seem to influence trust in government, encouraging higher levels of trust in government has a stronger effect on support for Nudge than for Think.

PA — 2026-08-08 Original Getting the Priorities Straight: Public Values in AI Adoption Jinke M. Oostvogel, Matthew Young, Bram Klievink Abstract ABSTRACT Artificial Intelligence (AI) is adopted in public organizations as a transformative innovation, yet how value prioritizations unfold in AI adoption processes remains underexplored. Therefore, we ask: How do public values unfold in AI adoption processes in public organizations? We conducted a qualitative case study of an AI adoption process at the radiology department of a Dutch academic hospital after the decision to adopt is made and before implementation, using ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and document analysis. Our findings highlight how public values and the AI adoption process are balanced in the transition from the initiation to the implementation stage. We find a recursive relationship between public values and the AI adoption process. We show an interplay of instrumental and intrinsic values. We highlight the importance of top‐down adoption decisions for how public values are perceived, and we show the importance of public organizations ensuring public values are safeguarded in public‐private partnerships.
