This study empirically analyses the definition of a ‘missing person’ for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, which is part of a wider policy concerning missing persons published by the College of Policing (2016). Four hundred six participants (i.e. police officers and civilian staff) were asked for their viewpoint on (a) the suitability of the current definition, (b) the limitations of the definition and (c) components that should be included in a future definition. Sixty-five per cent of participants did not consider the current definition suitable and identified components they considered inappropriate as well as components they wished to add to a missing person definition. The findings are discussed in relation to the wider context of policy process and policy implementation, as well as the need for a coordinated response across public sectors, and comparability between countries within the EU and internationally. This paper advances policy learning by identifying challenges resulting from utilising the policy and concludes with recommendations in order to inform future policy discussions.

一所自相分裂的房子无法站立:评估警方对英国失踪人员定义的看法

本研究实证分析了英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰“失踪人员”的定义,这是警务学院(2016 年)发布的有关失踪人员的更广泛政策的一部分。四百六名参与者(即警察和文职人员)被问及他们对(a)当前定义的适用性,(b)定义的局限性和(c)应包含在未来定义中的组成部分的观点。65% 的参与者认为当前的定义不合适,并确定了他们认为不合适的部分以及他们希望添加到失踪人员定义中的部分。讨论的结果与政策过程和政策实施的更广泛背景以及公共部门协调应对的必要性有关,欧盟内部和国际国家之间的可比性。本文通过识别使用政策所带来的挑战来推进政策学习,并提出建议,以便为未来的政策讨论提供信息。
