“…The second key critique of Parsons concerns his emphasis on consensus instead of conflict (Coser, 1956;Dahrendorf, 1959;Gouldner, 1970;Rex, 1961;Seidman, 1994). According to this argument, Parsons's emphasis on common sets of values obscures the ways in which social groups are internally differentiated.…”

Police Subculture Reconsidered

Most comprehensive discussions of the police acknowledge the inability of legal and bureaucratic regulations to determine officer behavior. Attention is turned instead toward the informal norms developed within the police subculture. These discussions, however, tend to overstress the chasm between the formal and informal. They also provide inadequate tools for understanding differentiation, conflict, and change within police departments. I address these shortcomings here by mobilizing a particular conceptualization of the term “normative order”—as a set of rules and practices oriented around a central value. Six such orders are crucial to policing: law, bureaucratic control, adventure/machismo, safety, competence, and morality. I illustrate the importance of each by drawing upon ethnographic observations of the Los Angeles Police Department, and explain how my conceputalization offers a comprehensive yet flexible means to understand the social world of policing.

“…And since the sermon was published in English and Latin, it was the first printed rejoinder to Luther in English 22 . Fisher composed three substantial works against Luther 23 . The first and best known was major comprehensive critique to be widely consulted by future Catholic apologists everywhere: Assertionis Lutheranae confutatio (1523), published in Antwerp, Cologne, Paris and Venice.…”

“…116 Moreover, it has been suggested that, in 1504, the king was undergoing a period of pious idealism following the deaths of his eldest son and wife, during which time he also appointed John Fisher to be bishop of Rochester and appears to have made a vow to promote only worthy candidates to major benefices at his disposal. 117 Colet was one such worthy, and thus Henry VII made his wishes known to the bishop of London and St Paul's cathedral chapter. 118 However, Colet's appointment was unorthodox.…”

John Colet and a Lost Manuscript of 1506

History

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

John Colet, the humanist, attempted clerical reform early in his tenure as Dean of St Paul's (1505 -19), by reminding certain members of the cathedral personnel of the existing statutes and by seeking to impose some visitation injunctions upon them. A 1506 manuscript, containing details of these efforts, is now lost. This article examines the contents of the manuscript, which are known from a nineteenth-century transcription, and investigates the minor clergy, whom it concerned. It also discusses the possible whereabouts of the original manuscript; Colet's possible motivation for writing the proposals; the reaction to Colet's ideas; and how his clerical colleagues perceived Colet. The article concludes that Colet's inappropriate approach to reform hindered his success.
