Young People Arguing and Thinking About the Police; Qualitative Data Concerning the Categorization of the Police in a Police-Youth Contact Program
通过分析81名学生在28场小组讨论中的定性数据，探讨了警察-青年接触项目中警察分类的过程，为改善警察与青年关系提供参考。
Programs of intergroup contact frequently fail with the positive evaluation of the individual contact-partner being separated from the representation of the category as a whole. The paper reports qualitative data gathered from 81 pupils taking part in 28 group discussions concerning the police officers that they meet in a school-based police-youth “contact” program. These data address allow an exploration of the nature of the process of categorization. The paper considers the options for creating more positive police-youth relations.
