The study revealed that participation in community policing was not a spur-of-the-moment emotional decision but was carefully considered and planned before it was undertaken. The study revealed that the British participants were attracted to community policing by individual factors – that is, factors that primarily benefitted them as individuals – while community crime prevention was only a secondary concern. By contrast, for the South Korean cohort, participation in community policing was an extension of their commitment to their community. The research findings highlighted two different models of community policing: one underpinned by a commitment to the community and a desire to enhance crime prevention and community safety, and a second model underpinned by personal gain, in which community policing is valued as a stepping stone to formal p...","PeriodicalId":47763,"journal":{"name":"Policing & Society","volume":"34 1","pages":"165-184"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2016-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75215454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on fieldwork in Delhi and Mumbai, this paper explores how police investigations unfolded in the specific context of women's deaths by burning in India. In particular, it focuses on the use of discretion despite its denial by those exercising it. In India, there are distinctive statutes relating to women's suspicious deaths, reflecting the widespread expectation that the bride's family will pay a dowry to the groom's family and the tensions to which this may on occasion give rise in the early years of a marriage. Often, there are conflicting claims influencing how the woman's death is classified. These in turn affect police investigation. The nature and direction of police discretion in investigating women's deaths by burning reflect in part the unique nature of the legislation and the particular sensitivities in relation to these types of death. They also highlight processes that are liable to be at work in any crime investigation. It was found that police officers exercised unacknowledged discretion at seven specific points in the investigative process, with potentially significant consequences for the achievement of just outcomes: first response, recording the victim's 'dying declaration', inquest, registering of the 'First Information Report', collecting evidence, arrest and framing of the charges.</p>","PeriodicalId":47763,"journal":{"name":"Policing & Society","volume":"25 5","pages":"439-462"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2014-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4338498/pdf/emss-57337.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34010122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Opinions of and ideas about the police are implicated in the formation of social identities that relate to the social groups it represents – nation, state and community. Procedural justice theory suggests that judgements about the fairness of the police will be the most important factor in such processes. Fairness promotes a sense of inclusion and value, while unfairness communicates denigration and exclusion. Furthermore, positive social identities in relation to the police should on this account promote cooperation with it. This article presents an empirical test of these ideas in the context of the British policing. Data from a survey of young Londoners are used to show that perceptions of police fairness are indeed associated with social identity, and in turn social identity can be linked to cooperation.

Whilst the media has been a main contributor to promoting favourable images of policing and mystifying police work, conflict is endemic to the relationship and the level of trust between the parties is constantly in the balance. Commentators have suggested that the police are the dominant party in the relationship, managing the media to their own advantage and not in the interests of democratic policing. This paper examines the police‐media relationship in the context of the media advances in the 1990s. Drawing on research carried out across the police service in England and Wales, it concludes that although the police service has become more professional in the way it handles media relations, the complexity of the media world coupled with police organisational characteristics prevent police domination of the media to the extent feared.","PeriodicalId":47763,"journal":{"name":"Policing & Society","volume":"142 1","pages":"263-286"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"1999-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91111037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
