O poder de polícia: um estudo sobre as percepções dos policiais militares do Estado do Rio de Janeiro sobre o poder de polícia

Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar uma discussão sobre o poder de polícia materializado na prática policial cotidiana dos policiais da Polícia Militar do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Para desenvolver o tema poder de polícia foi imprescindível abordar os elementos que o constituem, que são: a discricionariedade da atividade de polícia, os termos do mandato de polícia, as formas de controle da ação policial e os aspectos da autonomia e subordinação da força policial.

Uma dupla vida de risco: reflexões sobre o trabalho paralelo (bico) na Polícia Militar do Pará

O bico ou trabalho paralelo é umas das práticas mais comuns entre os policiais militares; é exercido por eles: em festas, eventos e segurança de pessoas físicas. Embora seja a garantia de uma renda extra, entretanto, isso propicia que o policial se torne uma pessoa sem lazer e sempre ausente da família. Posto isso, informamos que neste trabalho temos por objetivo mostrar como se estruturam as redes do bico entre os policiais, as quais criam uma verdadeira organização de venda de trabalho que, para isso, se utilizam do status quo ou do poder de polícia para garantirem a segurança privada. Também mostraremos como ocorrem as jornadas de trabalho paralelo e os seus riscos, bem como as conseqüências de sua informalidade. Além disso, apresentaremos os meandros destas organizações, a sua estrutura, a sua hierarquia e como ela opera, onde constatamos que há uma inversão dos valores hierárquicos da organização militar.

En nombre de la seguridad : Lecturas sobre policía y formación estatal

Las instituciones policiales han sido poco estudiadas en sede académica hasta el momento y las investigaciones existentes ponen el acento en los modelos de gestión y en los procesos de reforma implementados en las últimas dos décadas. El poder de policía, no obstante, cumplió un rol fundamental en los procesos de formación estatal durante el siglo XIX, en diversos contextos culturales, nacionales y territoriales. Este trabajo intenta recoger las conclusiones básicas de algunos estudios europeos sobre esta cuestión, y otros estudios de caso en América Latina, prestando especial atención al territorio rioplatense. El objetivo consiste en analizar comparativamente los procesos de institucionalización del poder policial, la articulación de los mismos con la construcción de autoridad estatal, y los distintos modelos adoptados. "En nombre de la seguridad", y del orden público, las policías se organizaron como espacios de excepción, en los cuales la normativa jurídica se escinde de su aplicación efectiva. Los itinerarios históricos y filosóficos recorridos se proponen como una vía de elucidación de la relación entre el Estado y el poder de policía

The dynamics of power and resistance in police interview discourse

This is a study of police interviewing using an integrated approach, drawing on CA, CDA and pragmatics. The study focuses on the balance of power and control, finding that in particular the institutional status of the participants, the discursive roles assigned to them by the context, and their relative knowledge, are significant factors affecting the dynamics of the discourse. Four discursive features are identified as particularly significant, and a detailed analysis of the complex interplay of these features shows that power and control are constantly under negotiation, and are always open to challenge and resistance. Further it is shown that discursive dominance is not necessarily advantageous to participants, due to the specific goals and purposes of the police interview context. A wider consideration of the context illustrates the contribution that linguistics can make to the use of police interview data as evidence in the UK criminal justice system.

Strains as Mediators between Job Characteristics and Work-Related Outcomes in Police Officers

The relationship between job characteristics (e.g., job demands, social support) and work-related outcomes (e.g., turnover intentions, job performance) is assumed to be mediated by strains (e.g., work-related well-being, psychological strain). However, evidence suggests this association will be stronger for work-related strains than broader measures of overall psychological well-being. The primary aim of this study was to identify whether work and non-work related strains differ significantly in their ability to mediate between job characteristics and work-related outcomes. Perceptions of job characteristics, strain, turnover intentions and job performance were collected via a self-report survey from 2,588 Australian police officers. All job characteristics (job demands, job control, supervisor support and colleague support) were significant predictors of both job performance and turnover intentions, with the exception of job demands, which was not a significant predictor of turnover intentions. Both work and non-work related strains were significant predictors of turnover intentions and job performance. Strains were collectively significant in mediating between job characteristics and work-related outcomes, except in the case of job demands and job performance. The indirect effects of job characteristics on work-related outcomes were primarily through officers’ work-related enthusiasm. The relative importance of work-related enthusiasm in mediating between job characteristics and work-related outcomes offers some support for previous research suggesting stronger associations between work-related constructs. Future research should examine whether there are substantial differences in the explanatory power of work-related enthusiasm and a popular related construct, work engagement.

Growth Coalitions and Rural Development Police in the EU and the US

A recent issue of EuroChoices (7:1) was devoted to a discussion of comparative US-EU rural development policies. This article discusses the concept of growth coalitions, well developed in urban literature but less so in rural literature. Some light is shed on the different positions of rural and environmental issues in EU and US policies. The agricultural lobby is the dominant actor in agricultural growth coalitions because it perceives land in terms of its exchange value. Environmental and rural development actors perceive land in terms of its use value and its contributions to quality of life: they form a rural development coalition, seeing the need to balance growth with quality of life, but they have less political power than the agricultural growth coalition. In the European context, rural and environmental agendas are linked to a multi-functional agricultural agenda allowing common ground between these two coalitions and greater visibility in the policy arena. In the US, rural interests and environmental groups are more often in opposition to agriculture. This reduces their political visibility and clout. The challenge is how to link the power of the agricultural growth coalitions with rural development coalitions to achieve a broader balance of concerns and a more effective rural development policy.

The legacy of Hillsborough:Liberating truth, challenging power

In April 1989, ninety-six men, women and children, supporters of Liverpool Football Club, died in a severe crush at an FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield. Hundreds were injured and thousands traumatised. Within hours, the causes and circumstances of the disaster were contested. While a judicial inquiry found serious institutional failures in the policing and management of the capacity crowd, no criminal prosecutions resulted, and the inquests returned ‘accidental death’ verdicts. Immediately, the authorities claimed that drunken, violent fans had caused the fatal crush. Denied legitimacy, survivors’ accounts revealed a different story criticising the parlous state of the stadium, inadequate stewarding, negligent policing, failures in the emergency response and flawed processes of inquiry and investigation. Reflecting on two decades of research and contemporaneous interviews with bereaved families and survivors, this article contrasts the official discourse with those alternative accounts – the ‘view from below’. It demonstrates the influence of powerful institutional interests on the inquiries and investigations. It maps the breakthrough to full documentary disclosure following the appointment of the Hillsborough Independent Panel, its research and key findings published in September 2012. The campaigns by families and survivors were vindicated and the fans, including those who died, were exonerated. The process is discussed as an alternative method for liberating truth, securing acknowledgement and pursuing justice.
