▼ Police corruption has been cited as a significant problem in many nations across the world, and Palestine is no exception. Based on new unpublished sources, governmental documents and other reports published by civil society groups, qualitative interviews with key stakeholders from inside and outside the
police, and the author’s special access to the
police force as a former
police officer, this thesis is the first attempt to provide a multi-faceted understanding of
police corruption in Palestine. This research explores the nature and extent of
police corruption in the Palestinian Civil
Police (PCP), and traces the major causes for this phenomenon. In doing so, it demonstrates that
police corruption goes beyond individual deviance; it is not just related to the abuse of power or “poor management”. Corruption is made possible by the failure of the entire criminal justice system to make laws more reasonable and applicable. It is also made possible by the failure of internal mechanisms of control to work cooperatively with civilian oversight. The engine of corruption is also driven by
police occupational
culture, which has contributed to the creation of unique forms of
police deviance. Moreover, the complexities of the political context have led to the politicization of the
police, which in turn has acted as a stimulus for granting the
police force de facto immunity from external control. As a result, the erosion of
police legitimacy has become a great challenge for
police reforms. In order to combat
police corruption in Palestine, this study suggests a new model of
police control which distributes the authority of corruption control between the two wings of accountability: while the internal mechanism of control should remain responsible for investigating corruption at the lower levels, serious and systemic corruption cases must be pursued and reviewed by an independent and external mechanism of control. While this study focuses on Palestine and the PCP, it deals with problems and challenges which are common in developing countries. It may therefore be of assistance to those dealing with similar issues elsewhere.

▼ Graphic images capturing
police officers engaged in use of force incidents against citizens shared with millions of other people through social media has contributed to feelings of public distrust of its
police among many groups within the country. Demands calling for the use of
police body-worn cameras (BWC) has rapidly spread across the country as the preferred response to
police reform. Similar to other forms of mobile technology like license plate readers and dash cameras, BWC policy is likely to be shaped by the existing climate and
police culture in which the agency functions. It is important to understand the relationship between the
police culture and its influence on BWC policy to predict its potential effectiveness as a means of reform. Through an online survey, this thesis queried a sample of 92 Pennsylvania
police departments about their agencies’
culture and the current climate and its influence on BWC policy. The results indicate that despite the current climate departmental
culture has had a nominal effect on the implementation of BWC. Despite a supportive legislative, social, organizational environment aimed at facilitating the implementation of BWC,
police departments using the devices across the Commonwealth have not exponentially increased. Administrative internal policies requiring officers to use BWC to improve public trust and accountability has also not hastened the adoption of BWC. An evaluation pertaining to the agency’s mission has also not directly influenced the adoption of BWC policy. The cost of the cameras and unfunded mandates are possible explanations for its slowed implementation. This exploratory study offers insight into the current climate and the influence of
police culture on BWC policy.

Општи циљ овог истраживања је да се добију
релевантне информације кључне у контексту савременог
организационо-културолошког приступа полицијској корупцији, а да се
истовремено задовоље и одређени базични захтеви на руководећем
практичном нивоу полицијске организације: информисаност
полицијских службеника о правилима у вези са неприхватљивим
облицима понашања у служби, као и подршка коју полицијски
службеници пружају тим правилима; информисаност полицијских
службеника о казнама које им прете у случају кршења ових правила,
као и ставови полицијских службеника према тим казнама; процене
полицијских службеника о тежини појединих неприхватљивих облика
понашања у служби; као и спремност полицијских службеника да
пријаве поједине облике неприхватљивих понашања својих колега у

▼ This thesis examines the idea that
police officers have supportive factors in their lives which influence coping mechanisms used to handle occupational stress. This idea comes from
police culture literature which suggests that officers are encouraged to use maladaptive coping strategies like drinking and emotional suppression to deal with stress. Additional research on management support and family support are introduced as alternative supportive factors which can promote the use of adaptive coping like agency offered services and programs. This thesis uses data from “Work and Family Services for Law Enforcement Personnel in the United States” (Robert, O’Quin, & Kennedy, 2000). A subset of questionnaire items and officer responses are coded and run through statistical analysis including linear regression and logistic regression. Finally, findings are discussed and future research on the topic is suggested.

▼ Much research has been done about the
culture of the
police, especially in regards to the varying personality/policing styles of members within law enforcement. While there are varying views on whether
police culture is monolithic in nature, and whether it has changed or not with our recently changing society, most researchers agree that there appear to be certain static recurring groups of
police personas among the
police officers in every
police department, regardless of size, time period, and geographic location. Different researchers have distinguished varying professional personas into a variety of different categories over the years. While these various categories used by previous researchers may have served their purpose in being quite informative of the behaviors that the officers demonstrate in a professional capacity, they lack in being cohesive with one another.
More importantly, these previous categories of different types of
police officers do not merge with any explanations of the motives behind the behavior of these groups of
police officers. So researchers appear to have separately investigated different types of
police officers and the underlying motives behind their actions in entirely different ways. In other words, there is much research concerning the different kinds of
police officers patrolling the streets with widely varying outlooks and attitudes and there is much research about the social factors effecting different
police officers in different fashions, as well as social factors effecting
police departments as a whole. But there is a need to bring these two different lines of inquiry together into a cohesive understandable whole.
So using content analysis, I have intensely applied the sociological theories of Emile Durkheim, Robert K. Merton, Max Weber, and Michel Foucault in an attempt to bridge the gap between the research and gain more knowledge of the varying subgroups of the
police culture and what the underlying motivations for their behavior are. Ultimately, I demonstrate that it is the anomic nature of policing as a profession, including the anomic institutional character of
police departments themselves, caused by excessive amounts of strain that is responsible for the attitudes and actions of the varying types of
police officers on the streets.

▼ This dissertation integrates concepts from three
bodies of literature: police use of force, neighborhood/ecological
influence on police, and police culture. Prior research has
generally found that neighborhood context affects police use of
force. While scholars have applied social disorganization theory to
understand why neighborhood context might influence use of force,
much of this theorizing and subsequent empirical research has
focused exclusively on structural characteristics of an area, such
as economic disadvantage, crime rates, and population demographics.
This exclusive focus has occurred despite the fact that culture was
once an important component of social disorganization theory in
addition to structural factors. Moreover, the majority of the
theorizing and subsequent research on police culture has neglected
the potential influence that neighborhood context might have on
officers’ occupational outlooks. The purpose of this dissertation
is to merge the structural and cultural elements of social
disorganization theory in order to shed light on the development
and maintenance of police officer culture as well as to further
specify the relationship between neighborhood context and police
use of force. Using data from the Project on Policing Neighborhoods
(POPN), I address three interrelated research questions: 1) does
variation of structural characteristics at the patrol beat level,
such as concentrated disadvantage, homicide rates, and the
percentage of minority citizens, predict how an officer views
his/her occupational outlook (i.e., culture)?; 2) do officers who
work in the same patrol beats share a similar occupational outlook
(i.e., culture) or is there variation?; and 3) does the inclusion
of police culture at the officer level moderate the relationship
between patrol beat context and police use of force? Findings
suggest that a patrol beat’s degree of concentrated disadvantage
and homicide rate slightly influence officer culture at the
individual level. Results show mixed evidence of a patrol beat
culture. There is little support for the idea that characteristics
of the patrol beat and individual officer culture interact to
influence police use of force. I conclude with a detailed
discussion of the methodological, theoretical, and policy
implications as well as limitations and directions for future
research.

▼ An Garda S?och?na:
Culture, challenges, and change is an exploration and understanding of the organisational
culture of An Garda S?och?na Ireland's National Policing Organisation. While the Garda? or officers are often in the news media, there has been very little academic research on who and what this organisation is. On an abstract level, organisational
culture provides the framework of the basic rules necessary to function, or survive, in an organisation.
Police organisational
culture provides an identity to officers that performs this same function. On a more specific scale, internationally,
police culture has been understood to consist of masculinity, discrimination, exclusion, suspicion, isolation, solidarity/loyalty, moral and political conservatism, pragmatism, cynicism, aggression, negative views of supervision, selective enforcement of the law, and a prioritisation of the crime fighter role over service oriented role. However, this understanding has been gathered from countries with very different policing organisations to Ireland. While the international research in
police organisational
culture is quite vast, there is relatively little to fill this area in Ireland, particularly when you exclude historical accounts of Irish policing and Northern Ireland. Of those studies that have been identified, very few specifically look at the organisation s
culture. Further to this, many of those studies are limited in numerical and geographic scope. While the relatively narrow field has limited a grounding for the findings of this study, they do provide a starting point for identifying what gap needs to be filled, namely an expansive study on the organisation s
culture that is not confined to a small number of Garda? or one geographic region. This considered, the gap identified in the Irish literature is one facet of this research. Naturally if there if the research in this area is underdeveloped in Ireland, then there is also a missing piece of where Ireland situates itself in the international policing literature. The Garda are a unique policing organisation, as such, this type of
police culture has not been studied extensively internationally. One of the aims of this research is to understand where Ireland positions itself in the wider world of
police organisational
culture literature. However, in order for this to be done, and the primary aim of this research, you first need to gain a deeper understanding of what the
culture of the Garda is and how this impacts relations within the organisation as well as their relationship with the communities in which they work. While the area of
police organisational
culture can be quite abstract, some of the more specific aspects of the
culture this research aims to understand are in organisational relationships, accountability, and managing change. Though the aims listed thus far are wholly substantive, there is also remit for connecting these findings to a theoretical basis in social learning, social identity, and rotten apple theories to further understand how the

▼ Due to repeated trauma exposure and significant ongoing sources of operational and organizational stress,
police officers are vulnerable to mental health problems, including PTSD, depression, and other Operational Stress Injuries (OSIs). In recent years,
police organizations have made efforts to build awareness and the address mental health needs of their membership, and Ontario legislation has attempted to address gaps in access to services among first responders. As such, aspects of traditional
police culture which may be incompatible with psychotherapeutic help-seeking, such as norms of hegemonic masculinity, authoritarianism, and emotional control have been challenged. The current study aimed to explore the lived experiences of Ontario
police officers with regard to job-related psychological distress and help-seeking, and to elucidate the complex role of contemporary
police cultural norms in shaping help-seeking behaviours. In-depth research interviews were conducted with 18
police officers of various occupational ranks and roles. A constructivist grounded theory approach was utilized toward the development a model of psychological help-seeking within the contemporary
police culture. Results demonstrated that although most officers reported that “things are changing” within the
police cultural and institutional context, themes of weakness versus strength, us versus other, safety and suitability for the job, and co-constructed silence continue to pervade many of their experiences and perceptions of psychological difficulties, constraining help-seeking behaviours and often delaying help-seeking. Specific factors interfering with help-seeking included issues with accessibility, education, and awareness, but more prominently, identity issues, a fear of work-related consequences, and skepticism and mistrust, especially of mental health treatment providers. Establishing trust and reducing stigma via leadership and peer access points to community service providers were important facilitating factors. Psychotherapeutic service engagement often resulted in a shift away from policing as a fundamental component of identity, as well as a greater level of comfort with help-seeking, challenges to previously-held stigmas, and most powerfully, an inclination to share these experiences with one’s peers and thereby challenge the
culture of silence. A model of the influence of the
police culture on psychotherapeutic help-seeking among
police is presented, and theoretical implications, as well as implications for prevention and intervention with
police are outlined.

▼ The use of excessive force by
police officers and how the
police organisations deal with political demonstrations has been widely debated. With a recent renewed interest in
police militarisation, this research presents a case study of the British and French
police organisations and how they have evolved to deal with political demonstrations. By creating a theoretical framework around the role of
culture in
police organisations, an analysis of the organisational
culture of these
police organisations and how they respond to political demonstrations was examined. The case study focuses on a constructivist approach to how the traditions and identities were created from the evolution of what are the modern
police forces in the UK and France. This approach also analysed how these
police organisations dealt with threats such as terrorism and public disorder and what norms and values were created from this. The case study examines two of the major events in the UK and France. The G20 Summit protests in London in 2009 and the 2018 Yellow Vest Movement in France. The
police organisation and response to these events was examined through the identities, norms and values that have been created in the British and French
police forces. These identities, norms and values continue to shape the
police response to political demonstration and the public view the role of the
police and the overall debate on
police militarisation.

▼ This dissertation examines how actors within a public sector institution - a police organization - use culture to make sense of a shifting occupational landscape. Interviews with 100 police officers and field notes from 50 ride-along hours were collected over the course of 18 months in the police service of a medium-sized city. Rather than conceive "police culture" as an ideal-type of values and attitudes, this project engages with concepts from sociological literature on culture and organizations to re-conceptualize police culture as a "resource" officers deploy to navigate what can be risky work in a contentious organization. First, contrasting traditional cultural depictions of police officers as unremittingly mission-oriented and indivisible, findings reveal the fragility of officer solidarity and unwillingness to engage with risky situations. Expanding surveillance outside the reach of law enforcement (e.g. cellphone videos, social media, etc.) contribute to uncertainty as officers carry out their duties. Second, police engage with a combination of myths and generational scripts in ways that both defend and challenge the status quo in their organization. "Old-school" scripts sustain the prominence of paramilitarism, camaraderie and athleticism. And while "new-generation" scripts are mainly deployed ceremonially to signal legitimacy to external policing constituents, some officers also use them to express the importance of education, the banality of military mindsets, and the need for equitable practices to be implemented on a more routine basis. Finally, results show that police rely on jointly established understandings about their local community to both perform and justify their organization's non-conformity with certain industry standards. Overall, insofar as change in policing is the objective in the current era of wavering public confidence and fiscal crisis, this study suggests that mere top-down policy reform is insufficient: organizational policy and actual practices are only loosely-linked and those charged with implementing a new course of action (i.e. senior officers) are often the staunchest supporters of non-change. Without a disruption to the lock-step hierarchical structure of the police organization, institutional reform is likely only to emerge generationally, as the most promising energy for transformative change rests among cohorts entering the occupation at a particularly unsettled time.

▼ The aim of the study was to report on a proportional examination amid a group of proactive (uniform) officers as well as reactive (detectives/plain clothes) officers from the South African
Police Service (hereafter referred to as SAPS) in the Republic of South Africa for gauges exhibiting the presence or absence of conventional public
police (sub)
culture (herewith referred to as
police culture) themes of solidarity, isolation and cynicism in terms of Van Maanen’s (1975) and Manning’s (1989) metamorphosis stage of
police culture socialisation. The data for the current study were gathered between September 2013 and June 2014.
Using a survey format, the research employed a non-experimental ex post facto research design. Overall, the study found relatively strong indicators evincing the presence of the
police culture themes of solidarity, isolation and cynicism amongst a sample of five hundred and twenty (520) SAPS appointed
police officers in the Republic of South Africa. Each of the respondents had a minimum of 10 years’ experience in the SAPS. More specifically, the study discovered no statistically significant differences among the
police cultures solidarity, isolation and cynicism attitudes of patrol officers (proactive/uniform) and reactive (detectives/plain clothes)
police officers. The findings of the study, although relatively limited, call into question the contemporary fashionable view (Fielding, 1989; Hobbs, 1991; Chan, 1997; Marks, 2005; O’Neil and Singh, 2007; Sklansky, 2007; Cockcroft, 2013) that new developments in policing have dramatically changed
police culture and that orthodox universal homogenies of
police culture are unhelpful, outdated and no longer make any sense. The study reports on a comparison of
police culture themes of solidarity, isolation and cynicism attitudes among a sample of proactive officers (uniform section) and reactive (detective) SAPS officers in the Republic of South Africa.

▼ The experiences of dyslexic adults in education as well as the 'caring professions' of nursing, teaching and social work continue to be fertile ground for academic study. This study extends the range of current academic knowledge of dyslexia in the workplace by exploring the experiences of dyslexic police officers across England and Wales. The context is the extension of disability-related equality legislation to the police service in 2004. The overarching aim of the study is to examine the experiences and perceptions of dyslexic police officers who are 'on-the-streets' and not in the classroom environment. This research is underpinned by the principles of the social model of disability (Oliver 1990) and in it, dyslexia is understood not as a stand-alone difference but rather as an aspect of neurodiversity (Cooper 2009) A qualitative and exploratory research strategy was adopted. Data was collected by way of self-completed questionnaires and from face-to-face semi-structured interviews with twenty-five serving or recently resigned dyslexic police officers from ten police services from across England and Wales. The data was analysed using Layder's theory of domains and his adaptive theory (Layder 2005 & 2013). This study identified that the overwhelming majority of dyslexic police officers experienced a broad range of attitudinal, procedural and police 'barriers' to their full integration into the police organisation. All of the participants in this study had disclosed to their employing police service that they were dyslexic. Participant understanding of dyslexia and disability was deeply rooted within the medical model rather than the social model. The study identified substantial evidence of bullying, and discrimination was identified across the broad range of police services as well as significant failings in the provision of workplace assessments by Job Centre staff. Despite this treatment very few participants complained or sought redress. The dominance of the medical model of disability in wider society, together with negative aspects of police 'occupational' culture, were identified as key factors in the participants' decision making processes. This research concludes that institutional disablism in terms of dyslexia is widespread across some police services in England and Wales despite the extension of the disability discrimination legislation to the police service. The research concludes with some recommendations for policy and practice.

▼ Previous research has examined the psychological, psychophysical, and physical traits of police officers and police recruits, however little is known about individuals who aspire or intend to become a police officer. By examining an online law enforcement-based internet community, this study seeks to identify the traits and attributes that patrol officers find important for applicants to possess and how those traits and attributes align with official recruitment criteria. The findings suggest that those attributes that patrol officers find appropriate are nearly identical to those that police services have in their official recruitment criteria. The results depart from past research in that the conceptualization of the ideal applicant suggests that there may not always be a cultural divide between patrol officer and supervisory culture.

▼ Women officers represent a minority within the New Zealand
Police (
Police) particularly within the senior ranks. In recent years,
Police have made concerted efforts to increase women’s representation as well as improve the working environment. However, recent reviews of the 2007 Commission of Inquiry into
Police Conduct have reported that women continue to face barriers to full integration and furthermore, that the changes to the
police culture have reached a plateau. New Zealand and international research have established that
police culture continues to pose a barrier to women’s full acceptance within policing. This
culture is characterised by predominantly white, heterosexual males, who form what has been described as a “cult of masculinity”. Therefore, women find they must adopt the
culture in order to “fit in” and be accepted as “one of the boys”.
Adopting a qualitative framework, this research involved semi-structured face-to-face interviews with sworn female
police officers. Exploring female
police officers’ experiences identified five pertinent barriers to women’s retention and progression. These were the emphasis on physical skills and excitement, the
police camaraderie and the cult of masculinity, sexual harassment within the workplace, women’s minority status, and balancing motherhood with policing. It was found that the persistence of these barriers came back to core features of
police culture. Due to the strong allegiance to the positive aspects of the
police culture, such as the camaraderie, negative features such as sexual banter and harassment were subsumed within the wider
culture. Negative features were tolerated and accepted as part and parcel of working in the
Police. Women’s narratives demonstrated that they adhered to core
police culture features and thus contributed to the sustenance of the
culture. Furthermore, how women articulated their experiences and perceptions of barriers was complex and nuanced. Many held the belief that there were no longer any barriers for women in the
Police, yet such positive views were in contradiction with their own experiences. The tension between “perceptions” and “reality” creates a situation where the
Police currently sit at a crossroads between the “old”
culture and the new rhetoric of “change”.

▼ Police work tasks are diverse and require the ability to take command, demonstrate leadership, make serious decisions and be self directed (Beck, 1999; Brunetto & Farr-Wharton, 2002; Howard, Donofrio & Boles, 2002). This work is usually performed in pairs or sometimes by an officer working alone. Operational police work is seldom performed under the watchful eyes of a supervisor and a great amount of reliance is placed on the high levels of motivation and professionalism of individual officers. Research has shown that highly motivated workers produce better outcomes (Whisenand & Rush, 1998; Herzberg, 2003). It is therefore important that Queensland police officers are highly motivated to provide a quality service to the Queensland community.
This research aims to identify factors which motivate Queensland police to perform quality work. Researchers acknowledge that there is a lack of research and knowledge in regard to the factors which motivate police (Beck, 1999; Bragg, 1998; Howard, Donofrio & Boles, 2002; McHugh & Verner, 1998). The motivational factors were identified in regard to the demographic variables of; age, sex, rank, tenure and education. The model for this research is Herzberg’s two-factor theory of workplace motivation (1959). Herzberg found that there are two broad types of workplace motivational factors; those driven by a need to prevent loss or harm and those driven by a need to gain personal satisfaction or achievement. His study identified 16 basic sub-factors that operate in the workplace.
The research utilised a questionnaire instrument based on the sub-factors identified by Herzberg (1959). The questionnaire format consists of an initial section which sought demographic information about the participant and is followed by 51 Likert scale questions. The instrument is an expanded version of an instrument previously used in doctoral studies to identify sources of police motivation (Holden, 1980; Chiou, 2004). The questionnaire was forwarded to approximately 960 police in the Brisbane, Metropolitan North Region.
The data were analysed using Factor Analysis, MANOVAs, ANOVAs and multiple regression analysis to identify the key sources of police motivation and to determine the relationships between demographic variables such as: age, rank, educational level, tenure, generation cohort and motivational factors. A total of 484 officers responded to the questionnaire from the sample population of 960.
Factor analysis revealed five broad Prime Motivational Factors that motivate police in their work. The Prime Motivational Factors are: Feeling Valued, Achievement, Workplace Relationships, the Work Itself and Pay and Conditions. The factor Feeling Valued highlighted the importance of positive supportive leaders in motivating officers. Many officers commented that supervisors who only provided negative feedback diminished their sense of feeling valued and were a key source of de-motivation. Officers also frequently commented that they were motivated by operational police work…

▼ This qualitative study examines the perceptions of community policing from the four South Korean businesses owners in the Baltimore City as underrepresented ethnic community members. The four participants were interviewed in greater detail to explore their perceptions about community policing through the anecdotes of their lived experiences with the Baltimore City police and their cultural propensities. The interview questions were made based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory and that the two themes emerged from the participants' interview transcripts. The first theme was identified as the participants power distance against the police based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory. The second theme was identified as the participants' animosity against the police based on their lived personal experiences. This study deems that the participants' perceptions of power distance were influenced by their animosity which was formulated by their dissatisfied experiences with the police, racist beliefs about black people, cynical attitudes against the police, and memories of police corruptions in their home country. Since their perceptions of power distance intertwined with their perceptions of animosity, the two themes implicate that if the participant's perceptions of power distance against the police were influenced by their perceptions of animosity against the police, then individuals' cultural propensities are malleable by their experiences and that underrepresented ethnic community members' negative perceptions of community policing can be changed by having positive experiences with police.

▼ Background and rationale: The HIV epidemic in Vietnam has from its start been concentrated among injecting drug users. Vietnam instituted the 2006 HIV/AIDS Law which includes comprehensive harm reduction measures, but these are unevenly accepted and inadequately implemented. Ward police are a major determinant of risk for injecting drug users (IDUs), required to participate in drug control practices (especially meeting quotas for detention centres) which impede support for harm reduction. Influences on ward level police regarding harm reduction were studied in Hanoi to learn how to better target education and structural change.
Methods: After document review, key informants were interviewed from government, NGOs, INGOs, multilateral agencies, and police, using semi-structured guides. A survey was carried out among ward level police (n=27). Topics covered in both phases included perceptions of harm reduction and the police role in drug law enforcement, and harm reduction training and advocacy among police.
Results: Police perceive conflicting responsibilities, but overwhelmingly see their responsibility as enforcing drug laws, identifying and knowing drug users, and selecting those for compulsory detention. Harm reduction training was very patchy, ward police not being seen as important to it; and understanding of harm reduction was limited, tending to reflect drug control priorities. Justification for methadone was as much crime prevention as HIV prevention. Competing pressures on ward police create much anxiety, with performance measures based around drug control; recourse to detention resolves competing pressures more safely. There is much recognition of the importance of discretion, and much use of it to maintain good social order. Policy dissemination approaches within the law enforcement sector were inconsistent, with little communication about harm reduction programs or approaches, and an unfounded assumption that training at senior levels would naturally reach to the street.
Discussion: Ward police have not been systematically included in harm reduction advocacy or training strategies to support or operationalise legalised harm reduction interventions. The practices of street police challenge harm reduction policies, entirely understandably given the competing pressures on them. For harm reduction to be effective in Vietnam, it is essential that the ambiguities and contradictions between laws to control HIV and to control drugs be resolved for the street-level police.

▼ This study investigates accountability and external civilian oversight of policing reform in Northern Ireland, envisioned under the Patten Commission‟s programme of reforms in 1999. Emerging from the Patten Commission‟s report was a new architecture of accountability built around three institutions: the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI); the Northern Ireland Policing Board (NIPB); and the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI). Almost twenty years after the Patten Report was published, it is an opportune time to examine how these accountability arrangements may effect policing reform and whether there are clearly identifiable factors which enable or inhibit the efficacy of external civilian oversight. It is also timely to reflect upon the values, attitudes and beliefs held by those involved in external civilian oversight, and whether these attitudes can be differentiated across the actors and agencies involved in external civilian oversight in Northern Ireland. Employing both Q methodology and semi-structured interviews with elite actors (n=62) across the three institutions, this study has developed a re-conceptualisation of policing accountability from an ecological systems perspective. Through this a new framework of "triadic accountability‟ is proposed, comprising of three distinct and interdependent dimensions of situational (s); relational (r); and transformational accountability. Using this new framework, the study derives from findings what it calls the "Nine I‟s‟ of triadic accountability which include idiosyncrasies (s), independence (s), intelligence (s), information-sharing (r), individuals (r), incidents-handling (r), improvements (t), iterative nature (t), and internalisation(t). Furthermore, the values, attitudes and beliefs of elite actors were found to diverge into two distinct perspectives. Together with the "Nine I‟s‟ of triadic accountability, this illustrates how external civilian oversight of policing reform in Northern Ireland has been found to have a duality or mixed effect - the "agathakakological" effect suggesting that it is now time for Patten to be revisited.

▼ Knowledge about policing has been produced and disseminated unevenly so that our understanding comes from a skewed emphasis on the Western (largely Anglo-American) experience. Whilst such literature usually does not openly declare to be making claims of universal validity, it often does so by implication. Fortunately, more empirical research is being undertaken outside the global North.The present study adopted an ethnographic approach to explore the nature of policing and
police culture in Vietnam. The origins of the Vietnamese
police (according to our modern understanding) are located in a war against colonialism and for national independence emerging in the 1940s in northern Vietnam with officers now required to pledge loyalty to the ruling Communist Party. Over the past three decades, the country has undergone rapid economic and social change. Nevertheless, amid this increasing prosperity, the
police confront new challenges.Fieldwork was undertaken over a six-month period in 2016 (and a visit in 2017) with approval from the Ministry of Public Security – a first in Vietnam. The theoretical framework addresses weaknesses in current theorising of policing by proposing a Southern Policing perspective. I offer an extension of the interactive model of
police culture and practice developed by Chan (1997; Chan et al., 2003) which draws on Bourdieu’s (1990a) conceptualisations of field and habitus as a relational dynamic. The framework is useful because it provides flexibility for explaining
police practices in both Northern and Southern contexts. It can also account for differences in cultural knowledge and institutionalised practices. A Southern Policing perspective also recognises that capital comes in forms which may depart from those identified in previous studies.By applying a Southern Policing perspective to Vietnam, the study reveals variations in the field which illustrate that some assumptions about policing do not necessarily hold for a globally inclusive/comprehensive account of policing. Specifically, I address assumptions about relationships between the
police, political system, broad societal
culture, legal frameworks, organisations, thecommunity, and gender. These variations have to be understood not asdeviations from Anglo-American normality but as significant separate practices and traditions of policing from which the North may have something to learn.

▼ Political power and gendered (as opposed to gender neutral) politics constantly inform and intimately shape each other. Burgeoning ethnographies of the state draw attention to the daily construction of the state while the feminist state literature has long documented several ways in which the state is gendered, largely focusing on the bifurcated nature of its laws and regulations, effects of state policies on women, and the interactions between women's movements and the state. Although both bodies of literature have made valuable contributions to our understanding of the modern state and how it operates, the significance of men and masculinities has largely been neglected in the study of the state.; This dissertation contributes to ongoing debates in Turkey and elsewhere about the growing authoritarianism of political regimes and police militarization, paying attention to the link between masculinities and democracy/authoritarianism. This study has uncovered what I call "masculinities of the state" in an attempt to identify and understand mechanisms of engendering political processes, institutions and norms. By using a multi-method approach, this study identifies the mutual construction of statehood and masculinities through everyday practices of state officials at different levels of the state: the prime minister and the Turkish National Police (TNP) between 2002 and 2015.; This dissertation unravels the multiplicity, historicity, and contextuality of policing, police masculinities and political masculinities in Turkey, rather than seeing the masculinity of a political leader and police masculinities as constant and monolithic. Also, unlike the literature that envisions the police as a direct embodiment of the state or merely as one of the violent arms of the state, this research demonstrates the ways in which policing(s) are historically contingent, and constantly in the making in relation to ongoing political transformations as well as shifting political actors both within the organization and across the state.; The analysis of police masculinities in relation to the gendered charisma of a political leader reveals the connections between the law enforcement and the political regime in Turkey. The shifting configuration of hegemonic masculinity of the prime minister and three models of policing and associated police masculinities that have emerged in Turkey inform and challenge each other. A militarized masculinity has become the defining characteristic of the latest model of policing in Turkey, attesting to the links between authoritarianism/democratization and shifting modes of masculinity across state branches. The Turkish case further suggests that reforms to engender a more democratic form of policing may only be temporary in the absence of well-established democratic institutions and a system of checks and balances, and in the face of arbitrary political rule.; The logic of equating masculine power with political/institutional power within the TNP and the governing body results in marginalization, and limited…

▼ Denna studie syftar till att ur ett pedagogiskt perspektiv se hur svenska Polisens lärande i specifika situationer ser ut, där konflikthantering får statuera exempel. För ökad förståelse och en tydligare bild av myndigheten presenteras inledningsvis tidigare forskning inom området samt ett avsnitt som redogör för polisutbildningen i stort. De teorier som används innefattar aspekter som socialiseringsprocesser, en ledsagande diskurs samt den hermeneutiska spiralen. Studien är gjord med kvalitativ ansats där sex semistrukturerade intervjuer genomförts. Urvalet av informanter har gjorts utifrån deras befattningar inom poliskåren. Resultatet visade att polisutbildningen kan ses som problematisk på så sätt att de styrdokument utbildningen baseras på visar hur det bör vara, men inte några explicita förhållningssätt eller praktiker. Detta lämnar ett tolkningsutrymme vilket skapar diskrepans mellan teori och verklighet, praktiken. Alla studenter har olika förutsättningar och erfarenheter (social och historisk placering) och måste i det avseendet mötas på olika sätt för att tillgodogöra sig den förmedlade kunskapen på bästa sätt. De praktiska inslagen under utbildningen måste vara generaliserade och förenklade, och delarna kan då uppfattas som svåra att sättas in i en helhet utifrån den hermeneutiska spiralens princip. Polishögskolan blir då en plats där det är ”talet om” poliser och deras uppdrag som förmedlas, och studenten lär sig att agera i egenskap av polis, inte att bli polis. Där skapas en attityd till styrdokumenten och ett kollektivt sätt att förhålla sig, något som vi valt att kalla för ”hållning”. Hållningen har visat sig vara tudelad, en är polisrollen och en är kårandan. Dessa ses som två delar av samma lärandeprocess. De är inte varandras motsatser, utan är olika uttryck för lärandet och polisfunktionen. Konflikter och konflikthantering har visat sig utgöra en stor del av polisernas självbild. Utbildningen förmedlar även i detta avseende den allmänna förklaringen vilket utvecklar en reflexiv hållning till konflikter, vilken omprövas och omsätts till ny kunskap i kontakt med fältet.
This study aims to look at Swedish police officers learning in specific situations, where their handling of conflicts represents our main example. The police department and its work is based on a combination of laws and political deeds. In addition to this the individual police officer has to adapt and form an attitude towards official deeds of conduct. The study relies on six interviews with police officers whose positions varied. By using theories regarding socialisation processes, accompanying discourse and the hermeneutic spiral/circle our analysis shows that the education can be seen as problematic in regards to their focus on theoretical and non-practical education. The respondents regard policing as a vocational training, and it is therefore hard to combine the theoretical training when in practical work.

▼ This thesis explores the role of social relations in the ways that people construct, mobilise, consume, and reconstruct meaning about wellbeing in a police organisation in England. This ethnographic study further examines how the concept of wellbeing is a social construction. The constructivist approach that was adopted seeks some understanding of what the individuals in the study perceive wellbeing to mean and how they make sense of the concept. Predictably, there are discernible differences between how wellbeing is interpreted amongst subgroups (e.g. front-line officers, senior managers, and the chief constable). By exploring these differences there is a potential to understand the relationships from which constructions of wellbeing emerge and the resultant implications to put into practice. By adopting an ethnographic approach, rich material from an embedded researcher perspective has been collected in the form of fieldnotes, observations, and interviews over a nine-month period. In the context of increased attention being paid to the changing landscape of societal interpretations of wellbeing, different methods of exploration are required to advance the academic and practical understandings of the concept. Analysis indicates the relevance of a relational wellbeing framework and distinct constructions of wellbeing being mobilised, consumed and re-constructed in practice in the context of the study. This study not only extends our knowledge of the lived experiences of wellbeing, but also provides insight to how wellbeing is mobilised in an organisational setting. By examining social norms, rules, and ideologies associated with wellbeing, organisational characteristics emerge which shape interpretations within a police organisation. The theoretical framework within which this ethnographic study is situated has permitted insights into constructions of wellbeing in organisational settings that have previously gone unaddressed. Acknowledging these findings allows for an advancement of both academic knowledge and policing practice with regards to wellbeing and provides an enhanced understanding of such in a bureaucratic, hierarchical organisational context.

▼ The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of
police organizational
culture on officers' perception of integrity in the Turkish National
Police (TNP). Adopting an organizational rather than an individualistic perspective, this study focused on
police organizational
culture to investigate the causes of integrity problems in the TNP. While focusing on
police organizational
culture, this study also aimed to determine to what extent officers' perceptions of integrity are influenced by personal and occupational attributes such as age, gender, rank, income, educational level, years of employment, and assignment type. The research was conducted in Turkey's two largest cities, Istanbul and Ankara, as well as the largest city of southeastern Turkey, Diyarbakir. Three hundred officers, consisting of 200 regular
police officers and 100 ranked officers, were selected from each city, making a sample size of 900 in total. With a total of 507 respondents, after eliminating cases with missing values, the study achieved a 57% response rate. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships, since it is the most appropriate statistical method for testing hypotheses based on relations among latent and observed variables. This method enabled the researcher to measure the perception of
police integrity and the perception of
police organizational
culture with their multiple indicators, providing rigorous measurements for both constructs. The results of the statistical analysis supported the research hypothesis. The findings showed that officers' perception of
police organizational
culture negatively influenced their perception of integrity. It was also found that officers' age and educational level also had a statistically significant influence on their perception of integrity.

▼ To ensure greater success in its regular projects, Abu-Dhabi Police (ADP) is working on: training their project managers, applying project management software, utilising the services of engineering consultants, etc. However, the performance and outcomes of its projects are still not fully meeting the desired expectations. Therefore, a study to understand some of the undermining factors was carried out. A critical literature review was carried out initially where it was established that project delivery and outcomes are affected in part by the three overarching factors of: project managers’ characteristics, organizational culture and project management culture. On this basis a conceptual framework was developed highlighting how these 3 compound factors affect project performance and outcome; and in particular how ADP’s values relate with the competencies of their project managers. The empirical aspects involved the use of mixed methods where the first part was a quantitative survey of the understanding and achievement of both ADP’s 5 values (part of organizational culture) and 15 competencies (part of project manager’s characteristics), as well as the impact of the former on the later. A questionnaire was administered to 157 people for data collection and 71 fully completed responses were obtained, representing a response rate of 45%. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the levels of achievement of ADP’s values and competencies, which were found to be high. The analysis went on to use ordered logistic regression to examine the association between the attainment of ADP’s values and competencies. The findings showed that the 5 values impact on the competencies of ADP’s project managers differently; for example, the value of ‘integrity and honesty’ impacts heavily on the 5 competencies of Integration management, Scope management, Time management, Achieving and action, and Leadership; while the value of ‘effective communication’ impacts heavily on the 3 competencies of Scope management, Cost management, and Achieving and action. An advanced training programme was subsequently developed for ADP to further increase the attainment of values and competencies by their project managers. This programme was developed in focus group discussions that involved some selected project managers who had long working experience and high understanding of ADP project schemes. A further round of focus group discussions was also used to validate this advanced training programme.

▼ The goal of this research is to integrate knowledge within police culture and ethics research. It is hoped to integrate a consistent pattern of ethical responses, according to officer typology. An expanded understanding of how factors, such as stress, job satisfaction, media portrayals, public perceptions, police socialization, and police culture, may have on ethics is intended. The following research questions were developed: Is variation found within officer responses to police culture variables? Is support found for Paoline's (2004) categorization of officers? Is evidence found of variation within officer responses to ethical prompts? Can a distinguishable trend be found for typological responses to ethical concerns? Variation was found in both officer typological and ethical responses. However, a distinguishable trend within ethical responses could not be demonstrated by this research to support Paoline's (2004) typologies.

▼ 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. Thus, the officers of the Military Brigade became a military elite based on three elements: the mission of the instructor that the Army began to train the Brigade since 1909, the Course for Military Readiness and the extensive experience gained in the wars insurrectionary 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…

▼ A cultura organizacional tem sido foco de atenção da Administração desde o início do século XX. Seus estudos, inicialmente, tinham como pressuposto a mudança na cultura das organizações para a melhora da eficácia organizacional; atualmente, outras linhas de pesquisas têm demonstrado que cultura não se muda, cultura são os símbolos que comunicam o que uma organização é em dado momento. Nesse campo, poucos estudos focam a cultura organizacional da Polícia Civil e, quando o fazem, essas pesquisas tendem a repetir o discurso de outros estudos. Quando se alia a cultura da Polícia Civil à vida familiar de seus servidores, a escassez de trabalhos torna-se ainda mais evidente. Diante desse quadro, pensou-se em verificar as implicações da cultura organizacional da Polícia Civil na vida familiar dos policiais, tendo como objetivos gerais identificar e descrever a cultura organizacional dos policiais que atuam no DECA, identificar e descrever aspectos da vida familiar dos policiais do DECA e compreender as inter-relações cultura organizacional-família. Para atingir esses objetivos, esta pesquisa, de metodologia qualitativa, utilizou-se do método de estudo de caso, e as técnicas de coletas de dados basearam-se em observação participante do contexto de trabalho dos policiais e em entrevistas semiestruturadas com alguns desses profissionais e seus familiares. Os principais resultados desta pesquisa dão conta de que o cotidiano do policial é composto de diversas tarefas objetivas e subjetivas, que exigem deles conhecimentos profundos acerca das leis e habilidades comportamentais e psíquicas para o enfrentamento dos mais diversos conflitos e que se desdobram nos símbolos de suas culturas organizacionais. Sua vida familiar e a rotina de trabalho parecem inter-relacionarem-se desde o ingresso do policial na instituição, fazendo com que, conforme se torna parte da identidade desses indivíduos, as culturas organizacionais da Polícia Civil influenciam a vida familiar desses profissionais. Os símbolos culturais dessa instituição são, aos poucos, incutidos no seio familiar dos policiais e refletem-se em seus relacionamentos, em algumas mudanças de sua postura e na forma como esses profissionais encaram o perigo e representam-no para sua família. O contexto de trabalho da Polícia Civil desdobra-se em suas culturas e gera novas formas de encarar a realidade, que são transmitidas nas relações desses profissionais com suas famílias.
The organizational cultures have been the spotlight in the Administrative area since the beginning of the XX century. Initially, its studies had as presupposition the changes in the organizational cultures for the improvement of it; nowadays, other research lines have showed that cultures does not changes because are signs that communicate what an organization is in a certain moment. In this field, only a few studies focus on the organizational cultures of the Civilian Police and when done they tend to repeat the same speech of the other studies. When the Civilian Police cultures are allied to familiar life,…

▼ In the context of material culture studies, how might the camera be considered as both a thing and an object? Rather than calibrating our sense of what photography is from the viewer’s experience of images, this paper draws on fieldwork with police photographers in Los Angeles and San Diego, to present a series of proposals for recasting our understanding of what photography is when the camera takes centre stage. As a thing, the camera is presented as a “memory-thing,” a “body-thing,” and a “puzzle-thing,” when it is not performing its ‘intended’ function as an apparatus for apprehending images. Alternatively, as an object, the camera is conceived as a “transducer,” which serves as a model for conceptualizing the apparatus as a technology of affect. In this regard, the camera facilitates exploratory processes of photographic doubt; produces somatic effects on police photographers and their subjects; and affords police photographers the ability to manage empathy for the victims of crime they photograph, by preoccupying the photographer with technical and compositional considerations.
