More about the book
This collection of essays examines various aspects of police research and practice from 1999 to 2009, highlighting the contributions of notable scholars in the field. It includes discussions on qualitative police research, emphasizing the importance of storytelling and adequate insights. The role of research in enhancing public safety is explored, alongside reflections on police as a profession, drawing on Max Weber's ideas. The essays delve into the complexities of police identity, addressing why officers often prefer to interact within their own ranks. The motivations behind career choices in policing, particularly in Hessen, are analyzed, as well as the impact of societal changes on police training and education across Europe. The psychosocial integration of former Volkspolizisten into the Landespolizei in Sachsen-Anhalt is examined through a longitudinal perspective on the self-image of the profession. Other contributions assess the public perception of the Volkspolizei at the turn of the millennium and the status of police students and their socialization. Ethical considerations in preventive measures within police work and society are discussed, along with an exploration of interests in the police field. The collection concludes with insights into workplace security as a means of protecting against right-wing extremism.
