The "On Contemporary Police Slang" thesis describes the language expressions of contemporary municipal and state police officers while using the language material excerpted from the active users of police slang. Nevertheless, the thesis also tries to put the slang terms of police officers into a wider context of police communication including its both official and semi-official level, psycholinguistic and legislative setting and relation to other linguistic structures and semi-structures not only from the contemporary phraseology point of view but also from the perspective of semantic course of used expressions. There is also the word-forming process depiction put into a wider context of general trends that can be observed in the field of slangs.

The primary aim of this study was to explore the relevance that serving and former SAPS members who hold an academic doctorate degree attach to such a degree in the SAPS occupational environment. From a qualitative standpoint, data was collected through phenomenological in-depth individual interviews with serving and former SAPS members who hold an academic doctorate degree. In addition, a comprehensive review of the relevant national and international literature was conducted to obtain a better understanding of this phenomenon. A thematic data analysis process was followed to analyse the collected data. Various objectives were fulfilled in the completion of this study:  The relevance of an academic doctorate degree, as experienced by serving and former SAPS members, in their occupational environment was explored, identified and described.  The value that SAPS doctorate graduates add to the SAPS was explored, identified and described.  Recommendations were made regarding the optimal, efficient and effective utilisation of doctorate SAPS graduates in the occupational environment of the SAPS. The findings of this study indicate that holding a doctorate degree in the SAPS generally adds value to the various aspects of policing. However, it was found that not all doctorate graduates in the SAPS are appropriately placed and placement is not necessarily influenced by graduates’ academic qualifications. Based on the findings of this study, a framework for the appropriate placement of doctorate graduates in the SAPS was developed. This framework could serve as a management tool to sensitise SAPS management to the relevance of an academic doctorate degree. In addition, this framework could act as a management tool guiding the SAPS management regarding the correct placement of academic doctorate graduates in the organisation. This study contributes significantly to the understanding of the relevance of a doctorate degree in the SAPS, thereby contributing to new knowledge related to this phenomenon. / Police Practice / Ph.

La Brigade militaire de Rio Grande do Sul a été créé comme un Etat militaire, de sorte que ses officiers ont formé une classe de militaires professionnels et qualifiés dans l'art de la guerre. Ainsi, les officiers de la brigade militaire est devenu une élite militaire repose sur trois éléments: la mission de l'instructeur que l'armée a commencé à former la brigade depuis 1909, le cours de préparation militaire et la vaste expérience acquise dans les guerres de guerre insurrectionnelle. L'Union, à partir de 1934, supprime le caractère belliqueux des Armée d'État en les transformant en de la police militaire. L'armée reste exclusivement militaire jusqu'en 1950 quand l'Brigade militaire commence son long processus de policialização, déclenchant l'affrontement entre les valeurs culturelles et la militaire. Le fonctionnaire professionnalisé que militaires et entraînés à la guerre ont été d'immenses difficultés à s'adapter aux modèles et aux vicissitudes des services de police où il n'y avait pas de médailles, la gloire ou glamour qui étaient habitués. Les officiers formés par l'éthos militaire, pour la plupart, à peu près résisté policialização imposées par l'Union n'a pas été facile pour les fonctionnaires, les militaires professionnels et qualifiés dans l'art de la guerre, la famine de l'adaptation des services de police.

Ainsi, la police militaire l'Armée de terre a été transformée en police d'Etat militaire et que la Constitution de 1988, sa recherche officiers du cycle complet de la police. La sédimentation de la brigade militaire et de police - qui, dans cette thèse est appelé policialização - il a été l'une des marques les plus importantes et significatives de la sécurité publique l'état. Ainsi, l'insertion de la police militaire en tant qu'organe de la sécurité publique, a redéfini le sens du rythme de police à Rio Grande do Sul. / A Brigada Militar do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul foi criada como exército estadual, de modo que seus oficiais formaram uma classe de militares profissionais e especializados na arte da guerra. Assim, os oficiais da Brigada Militar tornaram-se uma elite militar com base em três elementos: a Missão Instrutora do Exército que a passou a treinar a Brigada Militar desde 1909; o Curso de Preparação Militar e a grande experiência bélica adquirida nas guerras insurrecionais. A União, a partir de 1934, retira o caráter bélico das milícias estaduais transformando-as em polícias militares. A Brigada Militar permanece exclusivamente exército estadual até 1950 quando tem início o seu longo processo de policialização, desencadeando o choque cultural entre os valores bélico-militares e os de polícia. Os oficias profissionalizados como militares e treinados para a guerra tiveram imensas dificuldades em se adaptar aos desígnios e agruras dos serviços policias onde não havia medalhas, glória ou glamour a que estavam acostumados. Os oficiais formados pelo ethos militar, na sua maior parte, resistiram a policialização, grosso modo imposta pela União. Não foi fácil para os oficiais, militares profissionais e especializados na arte da guerra, adaptar-se aos serviços do policiamento. A Brigada Militar a despeito de tudo, sedimentou a sua policialização, através da polícia ostensiva preventiva, mantendo ainda muito dos valores bélico-militares. A Brigada Militar, no processo de policialização, avançou em três dimensões de polícia: de ordem, durante o regime militar; de segurança antes e depois do regime militar e comunitária dentro de uma perspectiva democrática. Dessa forma, a Brigada Militar foi transformada de exército estadual em força policial-militar e desde a Constituição de 1988, o sua oficialidade busca, mais abertamente, o ciclo completo de polícia. A sedimentação da Brigada Militar como polícia militar – que nesta tese é denominada de policialização - se constituiu uma das marcas mais importantes e significativas na segurança pública estadual. Assim, a inserção da Brigada Militar como órgão de segurança pública, redefiniu os rumos do policiamento ostensivo no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. / The Military Brigade of Rio Grande do Sul was created as a military state, so that his officers have formed a class of military professionals and skilled in the art of war.

The Union, from 1934, removes the warlike character of the state militias turning them into military police. The State Army remains exclusively until 1950 when the state begins its long process of policialização, triggering the clash between cultural values and the military and military police. The official professionalized as military and trained for war were immense difficulties in adapting to the designs and travails of police departments where there were no medals, glory or glamor that were accustomed. The officers trained by the military ethos, mostly endured policialização roughly imposed by the Union was not easy for officials, military professionals and skilled in the art of war, starvation of adapting services to policing. The Military in spite of everything, cemented his policialização through overt preventive police, still keeping much of military values and military. The Military Brigade policialização characterized as three types of police equipment order, security and criminal. Thus, the State Army was transformed into military police force and since the Constitution of 1988, its officers search the complete cycle of police. The sedimentation of the Military Brigade and police force - which in this thesis is called policialização - it was one of the most important brands and significant public safety statewide. Thus, the insertion of the Military Police as an organ of public security, has redefined the direction of beat policing in Rio Grande do Sul.

Text in English, with summaries in English, Xhosa and Zulu / This research was directed towards investigating if the metropolitan police mandate, as it is collectively perceived by senior metropolitan police officials in Gauteng, is constructive and aligned to the notion of a democratic South Africa. Qualitative data was collected from all metropolitan police departments in Gauteng through an extensive series of semi structured interviews. By adopting a phenomenographic research approach, collected data was transcribed, analysed and hierarchically arranged into a variety of qualitatively different but intrinsically related categories of description. From these categories of description, multiple collective understandings relating to democracy in South Africa, democratic policing and the metropolitan police role emerged. Further analysis revealed that the senior metropolitan police managers collectively fosters a significantly limited understanding of democracy, predominantly based on rudimentary and general democratic principles and values. The collective understanding participants held in relation to democratic policing was also significantly rudimentary and limited, as it principally revolved around the notion of police accountability. Again, the absence of an explicit relationship between participants and South Africa’s democracy was notable. Sequentially, it emerged that participants predominantly do not understand or perceive the metropolitan police department or its mandate as is appropriate within the framework of South Africa’s constitutional democracy. The democratic features of a preventative and proactive focus, objective professionalism and individual and situational responsiveness are thus remarkably absent from these departments. Subsequently, the metropolitan police mandate, as it is collectively perceived by senior metropolitan police officials in the Gauteng Province, is neither appropriate nor constructive to a democratic South Africa. / Olu phando lwalujoliswe ekuphandeni ukuba ingaba igunya lamapolisa esixeko, njengoko libonwa njalo ngawo wonke amagosa aphezulu obupolisa besixeko eGauteng, liyakha kwaye lingqamene na nombono woMzantsi Afrika wedemokhrasi.
