B. Taylorized. Policing has been described as a Taylorized occupation. Frederick Taylor was an American engineer who developed the concept of scientific management, which involved breaking down work processes into smaller, more specialized tasks that could be performed more efficiently. This approach was applied to policing in the early 20th century, leading to the development of a highly bureaucratic and hierarchical police organization that emphasized efficiency and standardization. The Taylorized approach to policing has been criticized for dehumanizing police work and reducing officers' discretion and autonomy.
