Involving faith-based organizations (FBOs) in the production of crime control has been seen as a way of increasing efficiency, promoting accountability and improving trust and confidence in policing. In this article, which draws on qualitative research, we consider how police officers understand the role of faith in policing, engage with faith communities and work with FBOs to mobilize crime prevention activities. We demonstrate that any effective co-production of crime control that involves faith communities and FBOs requires police officers to negotiate a number of complex and multifaceted issues. We argue that the co-production of crime control has symbolic, moral and technical qualities which all need to be successfully negotiated to achieve its aims.

警务信念：英国犯罪控制的联合制作

让信仰组织 (FBO) 参与犯罪控制工作已被视为提高效率、促进问责制以及提高对警务工作的信任和信心的一种方式。在这篇基于定性研究的文章中，我们考虑了警察如何理解信仰在警务中的作用、与信仰社区接触以及与 FBO 合作以动员预防犯罪活动。我们证明，任何涉及信仰社区和 FBO 的犯罪控制的有效联合制作都需要警察就许多复杂和多方面的问题进行谈判。我们认为，犯罪控制的共同生产具有象征性、道德和技术品质，这些品质都需要成功协商以实现其目标。
