Watching for Wolves: Perspectives on Policing Among Experienced Officers in AtlantaOdum, William G B 03 May 2017 (has links)
The relationship between the police and the public is largely mediated through policing practice and procedure. The perspective of the officer on the individual level, as well as that of the cumulative police force of a community, frames these practices, ultimately influencing the types of interactions that play out between officers and civilians. This paper looks at the ways in which police officers perceive their communities, their jobs, and themselves in the larger practice of policing. Based on ethnographic research on police in the Atlanta area, this work focuses on the perspective of police officers, and how they are affected by training and their experiences in law enforcement. This study suggests that an ontological shift, which is experienced through training and working as a police officer, contributes to a conceptual division between the police and the public for officers, affecting larger public relations.

An investigation into the culture(s) of the Metropolitan Police force between the 1930s and the 1960sCockcroft, Thomas William January 2001 (has links)
The majority of published work in the area of police occupational culture follows the methodological template of Skolnick (1994) which utilises both participant observation and the interview. The way in which this approach has been used has proved problematic for a number of reasons. First, it has promoted a view that police occupational culture is static and unchanging. Second, it has failed to acknowledge that officers have a choice whether or not to engage in certain behaviours. Third, it has promoted a view that police officers display essentially negative behaviours. The aim of the present research was to investigate, by means of techniques drawn from oral history, the culture or cultures of police officers within the Metropolitan Police Force in London between the 1930s and the 1960s. Firstly, there was a desire to find out to what extent accepted correlates of police occupational culture applied to police work in the period prior to the 1960s when it was first investigated. Secondly, if there did appear to be differences between the findings of the present research and those of authors charting post-1960s police culture, ideas would be forwarded in an attempt to explain such variations. Examples of factors which could account for such variations might include changes in the relationship between the police and the public, changes in police practice or changes in legislation. Through 26 interviews with retired officers, it was found that the intensity of Skolnick's key factors for the emergence of police occupational culture (danger, authority and the need to appear efficient) appeared to be greatly influenced by wider societal factors manifested in the state of police/public relations. Similarly, the present research found great variations within the officers' apparent adherence to key parts of the police 'working personality' as proposed by Skolnick. In short, the great variation in police behaviours exhibited in the present research could be attributed to the fact that wider social factors served to affect the intensity of Skolnick's three key factors.

Previous issue date: 2014 / This dissertation is about how police practices are forged based on local situational contexts of Military Police (PM) ostensive patrolling in Ceará, Brazil. I analyze how the production of police practices are linked to the interactions and relationships maintained between police and population of neighborhoods considered “problematic”, in allusion to the large contingent of police occurrences in the place. Special attention is given to the conflictual network that permeates the execution of “streets patrol” by PMs. This dimension influences the production of reflective practices and moral maneuvers mediated ways of making, seeing and saying of the PMs and residents of “Zona de Policiamento Noir”, fictitious name adopted for the Area of Operations (AO) of the policing program “Ronda do Quarteirão” in the Juazeiro do Norte city. The police are investigated here under an ethnographic perspective, aiming to describe and analyze the relational dynamics of police and residents in social life based on the implication of the ostensive patrolling performed aboard one of the Policing Program Cars “Ronda do Quarteirão” in Juazeiro do Norte City, in everyday life in the place. This focus was built based on my participation on board the vehicle with the PMs of this program during the course of patrols in the area in the period 2011 to 2013. The data produced from the ethnography clarified the processes linked to the possibilities of relationships between police and residents, triggered by the police daily presence in the neighborhoods, converted into an area of operations, while performing patrols. There is, here, the opening to think about the ways police work from local specificities and how residents, from their contexts, request the police in their everyday plots performed through reports at police. The ethnography explores how these relationships are permeated by agonistic disputes, power relations reified by zones of shadows between legality and illegality building conflictive reciprocity between police and population. / Esta dissertação é sobre a forma como práticas policiais são forjadas com base nos contextos situacionais locais do patrulhamento ostensivo da PM no Ceará. Procuro articular a produção das práticas policiais com as interações e relações mantidas entre polícia e população de bairros considerados “problemáticos”, em alusão ao grande contingente de ocorrências policiais incididas no local. Especial atenção é dada à tessitura conflituosa que permeia a execução do “serviço de rua” pelos PMs. Tal dimensão alimenta a produção de práticas reflexivas e manobras morais mediadas pelas maneiras de fazer, ver e dizer dos PMs e moradores da Zona de Policiamento Noir, nome fictício adotado para uma Área de Operações (AO) do programa de policiamento Ronda do Quarteirão em Juazeiro do Norte - CE. A polícia é investigada, aqui, sob uma perspectiva etnográfica, objetivando descrever e analisar as dinâmicas relacionais da vida social dos policiais e moradores com base na implicação do patrulhamento ostensivo, realizado abordo de uma das Viaturas do Programa de Policiamento Ronda do Quarteirão em Juazeiro do Norte - CE, no cotidiano do local. Este recorte construiu-se com base na minha participação abordo da viatura junto aos PMs do referido programa durante a realização do patrulhamento da área no período de 2011 à 2013. Os dados, produzidos na etnografia, explicitaram os processos atrelados às dinâmicas relacionais de polícia e população, desencadeadas pela circulação da polícia diuturnamente nos bairros, convertidos em área de operações, durante a realização do patrulhamento. Há, aqui, a abertura para pensar as formas como a polícia realiza seu trabalho a partir das especificidades locais e como os moradores, a partir de seus contextos, acionam a PM em suas tramas cotidianas através dos chamados realizados à polícia. A etnografia explora como estas relações estão permeadas por disputas agonísticas, relações de poder reificadas por zonas de penumbras entre a legalidade e a ilegalidade construindo reciprocidades conflituosas entre polícia e população.

Från text till batong : om poliser, busar och svennarEkman, Gunnar January 1999 (has links)
Det finns en föreställning om att organisationer kan styras av texter. Denna föreställning ligger till grund för hur organisationer i allmänhet styrs, och har fått särskilt stort genomslag i den offentliga sektorn. Polisorganisationen är inget undantag, utan ett bra exempel på en offentlig organisation som är tänkt att styras av texter. Polisers arbete skall styras av särskilt många texter, till exempel lagar, regleringsbrev, verksamhetsplaner och handlingsplaner. En orsak till det är att polisarbete bland annat handlar om att hantera samhällets legitimerade användning av våld. Polisarbetets vardagliga praktik handlar emellertid om att hantera fler krav än de som uttrycks i texter. Förutom i texter ställs krav på polisarbetet också av chefer, poliser och medborgare. Med utgångspunkt i det vardagliga polisarbetet diskuteras i den här avhandlingen hur poliser hanterar många - och ofta motstridiga - krav uttryckta av många kravställare. I avhandlingen argumenteras för att polisarbetet normeras - det vill säga normer som styr den dagliga praktiken formas - i det vardagliga småpratet mellan poliser. I det småpratet undersöks handlingsutrymme och sanktioner kopplade till olika krav och det bestäms hur poliser bör förhålla sig till krav och kravställare. Att polispraktiken normeras i det vardagliga småpratet mellan poliser utmanar den klassiska bilden av hierarkier - där textproducenter med hjälp av texter och chefer antas normera polisarbetet. / Diss. Stockholm : Handelshögsk.

[en] DISCLOSURES IN POLICE PRACTICE: CELLULAR PHONES AS A WEAPON OF COUNTER SURVEILLANCE / [pt] FLAGRANTES DA PRÁTICA POLICIAL: O CELULAR COMO ARMA DE CONTRAVIGILÂNCIAAMANDA DINUCCI ALMEIDA B VELASCO 14 August 2018 (has links)
[pt] O acesso do cidadão comum às tecnologias de imagem oferecidas pelos telefones celulares e a facilidade de compartilhamento de imagens no mundo paralelo da web favoreceram a produção e circulação de vídeos amadores que denunciam práticas policiais. Esse fenômeno contemporâneo aponta não apenas para o que tem sido caracterizado como uma sociedade do espetáculo e da vigilância, mas também para o que se entende hoje como uma prática de jornalismo cidadão. É a partir das contribuições das Ciências Sociais e da Comunicação Social sobre esses conceitos e à luz dos estudos da fala-em-interação que buscamos examinar como é construído interacionalmente esse flagrante em que o celular é usado como uma arma de contravigilância. O corpus desta pesquisa é constituído por um vídeo amador que registra a ação policial em uma comunidade que recebeu uma Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora (UPP), no Rio de Janeiro. A gravação retrata um conflito após uma abordagem, estando todos os participantes presentes na cena cientes da gravação. As imagens foram disponibilizadas na maior plataforma de compartilhamento de vídeos da atualidade, o YouTube. Trata-se de um estudo de caso que ilustra as relações entre controle e prazer, tecidas na criação e distribuição dessas imagens, e o modo como é construída a prática do jornalismo cidadão do tipo incriminativo. Os resultados apontam, primeiramente, para o modo como a estrutura de participação na cena evidencia a construção do espetáculo e ainda a disputa pela edição desse espetáculo. Revelam também a especificidade desse flagrante em relação a outras práticas de vigilância já descritas na literatura. Finalmente, demonstra que o aclamado empoderamento do jornalista cidadão, armado com sua câmera, não é um mito, mas tem limites. / [en] Access to image technology supplied by cellular phones and the easiness with which images can be shared through the parallel world of the web have favored ordinary citizens to video and share amateur films denouncing law enforcement practices. This contemporary phenomenon shows not only what has been characterized as a society of spectacle and surveillance, but also what is understood nowadays as citizen journalism. In the light of the speech in interaction studies and from the contribution of the Social Sciences and Social Communication we have tried to examine how these situations in which cellular phones are used as counter surveillance weapons are constructed by interaction. The corpus of this research is comprised by an amateur video that records police officers in action in a slum that has a Pacifying Police Unit (UPP) in Rio de Janeiro. The video records a conflict after the approach made by police officers and all of the participants present in the scene are aware of the recording. It was shared on YouTube, which is currently the world s largest video sharing platform. This case study shows the relationship between control and pleasure, woven in the making and distribution of these images. It also shows how incriminating citizen journalism is practiced. The results lead us to see, at first, the way in which the participation framework reveals how the spectacle is being constructed and demonstrates that the participants are competing for how to edit this spectacle. They also disclose the specificity of this situation of being caught in the act when compared to other surveillance practices already described in the literature. Finally, it demonstrates that this hailed empowerment of citizen journalists, armed with their cameras is not a myth, but has its limitations.
