Abstract

This article explores the impact of experiences police officers went through before they joined the Force on how they see and perform their job. I propose a new approach to police culture and practices based on a Bourdieu-inspired model of analysis, which includes its subsequent development by Lahire’s ‘dispositional analysis’. The model looks at how dispositions interiorized—particularly through the experience of social mobility and gender socialization—have a great impact on how police officers see and perform their job. The results suggest that divisions within police culture, long acknowledged by criminologists and sociologists, can be explained by the prior socialization of police officers.

将工作与工人的社会过去联系起来：警务工作的性格分析

摘要

本文探讨了警官加入部队之前经历的经历对他们如何看待和执行工作的影响。我以布迪厄启发式的分析模型为基础，提出了一种新的警察文化和实践方法，其中包括拉希尔（Lahire）的“性格分析”后来提出的分析方法。该模型研究了性格内向化的方式，尤其是通过社会流动性和性别社会化的经历，对警官如何看待和执行工作产生了巨大影响。结果表明，犯罪分子和社会学家早已认识到警察文化中的分歧，可以通过对警察进行事先社会化来解释。
