巡邏勤務是警察最常見的勤務方式之一，長久以來被公認是警察的核心勤務，由於巡邏勤務兼具積極打擊犯罪的主動作為及消極防制的被動作為，更加突顯巡邏勤務的重要與特色。而警察巡邏勤務之規劃及執行方式受到許多因素的影響，如何有效發揮巡邏勤務預期效能的議題，也就值得深究。 本研究以立意抽樣，採質化半結構深入訪談方式，針對實際規劃與執行巡邏勤務之派出所所長與協助派出所所長規劃勤務並參與實際執行巡邏勤務基層員警10人進行訪談，旨在探討巡邏勤務之規劃與運作過程，藉此找出其中所存在的問題，並將結果提供相關單位作為警察巡邏勤務規劃與運作之參考，期能有效發揮預防犯罪及達到維護社會治安之功能。 本研究主要研究結果分述如下： 一、巡邏勤務，警察核心勤務：巡邏勤務24小時綿密規劃，勤務時數約佔每日總時數50%-70%，為警察勤務中核心勤務。 二、工作項目，符合主要目的：巡邏勤務工作置重點於犯罪預防、交通順暢及為民服務，符合巡邏的主要目的。 三、攻勢勤務，具有預防效果：巡邏勤務屬攻勢勤務，具迅速、快速、機動等特性，具有預防犯罪的效果。 四、符合原理，有效預防犯罪：巡邏勤務運作符合迅速、機動、彈性、顯見等4項原理，能有效預防犯罪。 五、巡邏勤務，以深夜勤為主：深夜時段為犯罪活動高峰期，應將巡邏勤務加重於該時段，以符合實際需求。 六、因時因地，使用交通工具：巡邏勤務交通工具應因時因地制宜，彈性運用，發揮巡邏勤務之機動性及顯見性。 七、事故處理，影響巡邏成效：巡邏勤務規劃編排常因事故處理導致巡邏勤務落空情事，影響巡邏預期成效。 八、強化措施，落實巡邏勤務：強化勤務指揮中心功能、落實實施勤前教育及採師徒制編組，以利經驗傳承，落實巡邏勤務作為。 九、巡邏裝備，適時因應添購：巡邏勤務配備裝備應適時因應添購，以維執勤安全，提升巡邏勤務效能。 十、落實盤檢，減少巡邏箱數：巡邏勤務應以加強盤查為主，巡簽巡邏簽章表為輔，以發揮巡邏勤務預期之效能。 十一、巡邏勤務，優點缺點並俱：巡邏勤務可有效產生嚇阻犯罪功能，惟因各項因素，常無法落實執行。 本研究並根據研究發現，提出研究建議： 警察機關應採問題導向巡邏勤務策略，實施因地制宜措施以規劃巡邏勤務，落實盤查作為為主，巡簽巡邏簽章表為輔，因應需求適時添購裝備，強化巡邏勤務精進作為；並落實金融超商業自我防護機制，精簡業務提升警力運用，同時面對問題落實檢討規劃。 / Patrol duty is one of the most common duties for the police officers, which has been generally accepted as their core duty for a long time. Moreover, the patrol duty’s importance and characteristics are more highlighted by its active actions like fighting against crime and its passive actions like prevention and control. However, the policy officers’ planning and executive methods of patrol duty are affected by various factors. Therefore, it deserves deeply exploration about how to achieve the expected effect of patrol duty. Taking the purposive sampling and qualitative semi-structured in-depth interview, this study interviewed 10 persons including a police station chief and some grassroots police officers assisting the chief to plan and carry out patrol duty, with the aim to explore the patrol planning and operation process. In this way, it can find out the existing problems and provide the study results to relevant units as reference of planning and operation for the police officers, expecting to effectively achieve the function of crime prevention and social order and security maintenance. The major study results are illustrated as below: 1.Patrol duty is the core duty for the police officers: the duty is 24-hour planned, and accounts for 50%-70% of the work hours every day, so it is the core duty for the police officers. 2.The work. details conform to the primary purpose: Patrol duty focuses on crime prevention, smooth traffic and public service, which conform to the primary purpose of patrol. 3.Offense duty has the preventive effect: Patrol service belongs to offense duty, which is quick and mobile, and has the effect of crime prevention. 4.It conforms to the basic principles and can prevent crime effectively: Patrol operation conforms to the four principles of quickness, mobility, flexibility and conspicuousness, and can prevent crime effectively. 5.Patrol duty is mainly served at late-night: The late-night is the peak period of crime activity, so the patrol duty should be strengthened during that period to meet the practical demands. 6.Use vehicles based on the specific time and place: The vehicles used for patrol service should be flexible based on the specific time and place, so as to achieve the mobility and conspicuousness of patrol service. 7.Accident handling affects the effect of patrol duty: Patrol planning and scheduling is often delayed or vacated due to accident handling, which further affects the expected effect. 8.Strengthen the measures to carry out the patrol duty: Strengthen the function of the command center, carry out the pre-duty education and adopt senior-junior grouping to facilitate teaching experience and achieving the purpose of patrol duty. 9.Procure the patrol equipments in time: Patrol equipments should be procured in time based on the specific demands, so as to ensure secure duty and improve the patrol efficiency. 10.Carry out question to reduce the number of patrol boxes: The patrol duty should strengthen question primarily, together with patrol duty form signing, so as to achieve the expected patrol effect. 11.Patrol service has both advantages and disadvantages: Patrol duty has the function of effective crime prevention. However, it can’t be carried out due to various factors. Based on the study findings, this study proposes the following suggestions: The police institutions should adopt the problem-oriented patrol strategies and make measures based on the specific conditions for patrol duty planning. It should carry out question primarily, together with patrol duty form signing. Moreover, it should procure equipments in time based on the demands to strengthen the patrol practice. Besides, it should also carry out the self-defense mechanism of finance-over-business and simplify the business to improve the manpower application. At the meanwhile, it should implement review and planning for the problems.

This study was conducted in Tshwane at (TMPD). The study involved 164 members from TMPD. The respondents were categorised as supervisory level and operational level. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The questionnaire had open-ended questions (bringing a qualitative element) and closed-ended questions (bringing quantitative element). This study sought to answer the following research questions:  What is the traditional role of municipal law enforcement agencies?  What are legislative provisions for establishment of Municipal Police Services?  What are factors hindering the effectiveness of metro police officers on their crime prevention mandate?  What level of training is appropriate for the metropolitan police officer to be effective in crime prevention?  Are there additional adequate resources needed in the metro police facilities to enable the officers to help police combat crime effectively? The following are some of the findings:  Traditional law enforcement agencies were found to be performing the following duties: patrolling the streets; writing traffic fines; observing accidents; controlling and monitoring road traffic flow; issuing of road traffic and by-law notices; arrest and detention of suspects; crowd control in service delivery; unrest and strike situation; attending of selling goods without license; confiscation of hawkers’ goods; preserving court evidence and investigation of serious crime.  It was found that the TMPD had reasonable resources to help them carry out their mandate. More still need to be done though.  Political influence, interventions and interference. Based on the findings, recommendations were formulated that, hopefully, will help TMPD to improve in their crime prevention mandate. / Criminology and Security Science / M. Tech.

Esta tese tem como objetivo geral elaborar a base de um protótipo de glossário eletrônico jurídico-policial. Para tanto, propõe os seguintes objetivos específicos: identificar os usuários do glossário e suas especificidades; estabelecer uma metodologia para identificação, coleta, seleção e validação dos termos jurídico-policiais utilizados nos Boletins de Ocorrência (BOs); estabelecer as características macro e microestruturais do glossário, com base na aplicabilidade da ferramenta nos sistemas informatizados de dados policiais. A criação do glossário se justifica pela necessidade de registrar e organizar a terminologia jurídico-policial, que até o momento não foi estudada, em razão da estigmatização da atividade-fim da Polícia, que alija a linguagem jurídico-policial das demais linguagens jurídicas. O trabalho se sustenta na Teoria Comunicativa da Terminologia (TCT), nos procedimentos propostos pela Linguística de Corpus e nos pressupostos da Terminografia. Para a proposição do protótipo de glossário, foi fundamental estabelecer o perfil do usuário, entendido como especialista (formação jurídica) e semi-especialista (formação diversa), uma vez que o pré-requisito para ingresso ao cargo de Escrivão e Inspetor de Polícia é a formação em qualquer curso superior. A competência jurídica é importante para o bom desempenho das funções policiais. Também definiu-se a função da obra: subsidiar a compreensão dos termos jurídico-policiais e a produçāo do texto do BO. Nesse direcionamento, e considerando a metodologia do trabalho terminográfico, propõe a macroestrutura e a microestrutura da obra. A coleta e a seleçāo dos candidatos a termo da macroestrutura ocorre a partir de três fontes: todas as seis formas de designação do partícipe que comete o ato delituoso no sistema de registro de ocorrências, (suspeito, acusado, indiciado, conduzido, autor, infrator); termos que ocorrem nos dez textos-base, e termos de quatorze textos que tratam de sete modi operandi do crime de roubo. Estes últimos textos foram escolhidos aleatoriamente no corpus de 70.980 históricos de BO registrados entre 2008 e 2010 pela Polícia Civil do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (PC/RS). Uma vez selecionados, os candidatos a termo sāo validados pela inserção no mapa-domínio jurídico-policial, que contém três termos genéricos: fato, local, partes. Por sua vez, a microestrutura está constituída por uma ficha terminológica com os seguintes campos: domínio (esfera jurídica de emprego mais frequente), definição, outras denominações (que contempla as variantes), co-texto (que apresenta o co-texto em que o termo é usado), informação gramatical e nota de uso. De posse de todas essas informações, construiu-se uma base de dados com as fichas terminológicas e implementou-se um glossário eletrônico. Sua hospedagem ocorre em ambiente de teste, para posterior inserção na rede intranet da PC/RS. A base de dados do glossário contempla, além dos termos, um guia do usuário que descreve as funcionalidades da obra, e também um espaço para sugestões de inclusão de termos por parte do consulente. Com este percurso, acredita-se que os objetivos propostos nesta tese foram devidamente alcançados. / The general objective of this thesis is the development of the basis for a prototype of an electronic glossary of legal police terms. To this end, the following specific objectives were defined: the identification of the glossary users and their specificities; the establishment of a methodology for recognizing collecting, selecting, and validating legal police terms used in police reports; the definition of the macro and and micro structural characteristics of the glossary aiming its in computerized police data systems. The creation of the glossary is justified by the need to register and organize the legal police terminology up to now not yet studied due to the stigmatization of the police end-activity that excludes the legal police language from other legal languages. The work is grounded on the Communicative Theory of Terminology (CTT), on the theoretical methodological presuppositions of Corpus Linguistics and on the principles of Terminography. It was fundamental to the glossary prototype proposal the definition of the user profile understood as specialist (individual with a law degree) or semispecialist (individual with any other degree). The prerequisite to apply for the functions of Police Scribe and Police Inspector is to have any higher education degree. Legal competence is important for the performance of the police functions. The purpose of the glossary was also defined: to assist legal police terminology comprehension and police report production. To this end and considering terminographical work methodology, the macro and micro-structures of the glossary were defined. The collection and selection of term candidates start from three sources: all six denominations of the participant of the wrongful act (suspect, accused, indicted, offender, author, infractor) given in the police report registration system; the terms occurring in fourteen basic texts dealing with seven modi operandi of robbery. These latter texts were randomly selected from a corpus of 70,980 police reports of the Police Department of Rio Grande do Sul (PD/RS). Once selected the term candidates were validated by their insertion in the legal police concept map containing three generic terms: fact, local, parts. The glossary microstructure comprehends the terminology records with the following fields: domain (legal area of most frequent use), definition, other denominations (variant forms of terms); grammatical information and usage notes. From the information gathered, the database was structured and the electronic glossary implemented and hosted in test environment in the intranet web of the PD/RS. Besides the terms, the database provides a user guide describing the work functionalities and gives opportunity for the user to suggest new terms to be included. Thus it is believed that the objectives of this thesis were achieved.

The purpose of this research was to investigate how members of the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD) perceive crime prevention within the context of metropolitan policing. Based on the social constructionist paradigm, the researcher collected data relating to the crime-prevention phenomenon from all rank groups within the organisation by making use of various focus-group and in-depth interviews. Collected data were transcribed, coded, analysed and arranged into themes, subthemes and categories. This analysis indicated that various opinions as to how the crime-prevention phenomenon applies to a metropolitan police department (MPD) currently exist within the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department. Various opinions were identified as to why a MPD was created, what the focal point of a MPD should be and what the current focal point of the TMPD is. Participants had different views on how a MPD should participate in functions like road-traffic and by-law policing, and how these functions contribute to crime prevention. Crime prevention proved to be an ambiguous term indeed, as no common understanding of this complicated phenomenon could have been identified amongst participants. It seemed that participants were not familiar with the crime-prevention capabilities of the organisation as they advocated a comprehensive participation in crime-prevention models like situational crime prevention, social crime prevention, crime prevention through environmental design, and crime prevention through effective criminal justice, while the organisation can actually participate in these crime-prevention models only to a very limited extent. The lack of a central philosophy or strategy that describes how the TMPD should conduct its business became evident during the study, and resulted in an organisation with no uniform understanding of crime prevention. Consequently, crime prevention means different things to different members of the TMPD. / Police Practice / M. Tech. (Policing)

The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a program being run by the Bedford Police Department’s Repeat Victimization Unit on domestic violence and mental health and mental retardation. The study sought to determine whether the program was effective in reducing instances of repeat victimization in domestic violence and MHMR victims. Additionally the program investigated whether or not the program was effective at reducing victimization severity, and which demographic could be identified as the most victimized. Participants consisted of 157 domestic violence and MHMR victims in the city of Bedford, Tx between November 11, 2012 to July 30, 2013. Findings indicate that levels of repeat victimization for domestic violence and MHMR are relatively low regardless of whether the victim received services through the repeat victimization program or not. Additionally the severity of these repeat victimizations remains relatively constant regardless of whether services were received through the program or not. Implications and findings are discussed.

This project explored the question of whether or not the employment of off-duty police officers should be regulated. It includes two surveys, a statewide survey of agency regulations and a survey of Fontana Police Department personnel.
