Article Summary
“Street-Level Bureaucracy: The Critical Role of Street-Level
Bureaucrats” examines the role of front-line public employees
in the bureaucracy. Street-level bureaucrats are those
individuals who interact directly with citizens. There are many
street-level bureaucrats in public service agencies such as
welfare offices. In fact, it seems that the poorer people are, the
more street-level bureaucrats affect them. Since street-level
bureaucrats have such a great deal of interaction with the
public, they are often the focus of public controversy. Their
decisions appear to be very personal, as they are directed
toward people and their attitudes are obvious. Because of this
personalization of bureaucracy, street-level bureaucrats also
provide hope for citizens to receive fair and effective treatment,
as citizens believe they can reason with these individuals, even
if the rest of the bureaucracy is out of reach. In reality, street-
level bureaucrats are limited to how responsive they may be.
Protocol restricts their abilities to treat things on a case-by-case
basis.
Key Points
· Street-level bureaucrats cause a great deal of public
controversy due to debates over their scope and function and the
impact they have on people’s lives.
· Street-level bureaucrats, such as police officers, teachers, and
health workers are familiar to the people they serve, but not
necessarily as accountable as people would like them to be.
· Street-level bureaucracies directly affect people and change
their lives. This provides people with hope that these
bureaucrats will help them on an individual basis.
· Street-level bureaucrats provide a “visible, accessible, and
blamable, collective target.”
