Here, we examine the factors influencing whether those detained by the police feel treated with dignity. We develop a human rights-oriented conception of dignity rooted in the equal worth of human beings, encapsulated in detainees’ desire to be “treated like a human being”. The predictors of this are examined using multilevel modelling of survey data collected from 371 detainees in 27 custody facilities in 13 police forces in England and Wales in an ESRC-funded study of ‘good’ police custody. We found that perceptions of the material conditions predicted feelings of dignity, as did detainees’ reactions to being detained, their perceptions of the culture of police custody and the mechanisms used to hold the police to account. Feelings of dignity were also less likely for younger adults and for BAME detainees, with these experiences being mediated by less trust in accountability mechanisms. This paper concludes by examining the implications for ‘good’ police custody.

“对待他们作为一个人”:拘留警察的尊严及其对'良好'警察拘留的影响

在这里,我们研究了影响那些被警察拘留的人是否受到尊严待遇的因素。我们发展了一种以人权为导向的尊严概念,其根植于人的平等价值,体现在被拘留者渴望“像人一样对待”的愿望中。在ESRC资助的“良好”警察拘留研究中,使用对英格兰和威尔士13个警察部队的27个拘留所中371名被拘留者收集的调查数据的多级模型,对这些预测因素进行了检验。我们发现,对物质条件的理解可以预见尊严感,被拘留者对被拘留者的反应,对警察羁押文化的理解以及用来追究警察责任的机制也可以预见。年轻人和BAME被拘留者的尊严感也不太可能,这些经验是由对问责机制的较少信任所调解的。本文通过考察对“良好”警察拘留的含义进行总结。
