Policy Responsiveness to Protest-Group Demands
Open accessAbstract
P OLMCAL SCIENTISTS have long been concerned with electoral activity and formal interest-group activity as methods of citizen participation linking public policy preferences to governmental outputs.'However, as a means of assuring that public policy corresponds to citizen preferences, both of these modes of participation have their limitations.For example, Verba and Nie argue that "voting can provide a lot of pressure on leaders (especially if * This article is a revised version of a paper entitled "Urban Protest Groups: Explaining Successful Interactions with Public Authorities," presented at the annual meeting of the Western Political Science Association, Denver, Colo., April 4-6, 1974.I am grateful to Peter Eisinger, Charles Cnudde, Jean Schumaker, Russell Getter, Herman Lujan, and David Jones for their many helpful suggestions and their assistance in developing, researching, or reporting the concepts in this paper.1 The literature on the policy effectiveness of electoral and interest-group participation is enormous.See Norman R.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
