Document Summary

Constructing the asshole, doing violence, and ethical dilemmas. Assessing the structurational relationship between the police and the asshole. We must look to unpack the interpretive experience of the police as an occupational group. The police accept and morally justify their use of violence. Such acceptance and justification arises through their occupational experience. The use of violence is seen as functionally related to the collective occupational goals of the police and individual officers. To the police, three types of governable citizens exist: (cid:712)(cid:727)(cid:724) (cid:711)(cid:740)(cid:738)(cid:735)(cid:728)(cid:722)(cid:728)(cid:734)(cid:740)(cid:738) p(cid:724)(cid:737)(cid:738)(cid:734)(cid:733)", (cid:712)(cid:727)(cid:724) k(cid:733)(cid:734)(cid:742) n(cid:734)(cid:739)(cid:727)(cid:728)(cid:733)(cid:726)"; (cid:720)(cid:733)(cid:723, (cid:712)(cid:727)(cid:724) a(cid:738)(cid:738)(cid:727)(cid:734)(cid:731)(cid:724)". Our analytic objective is to try to understand the underlying structure of police thought in order to denote the features of the. (cid:737)(cid:724)(cid:720)(cid:731)(cid:728)(cid:739)y (cid:734)(cid:725) (cid:735)(cid:734)(cid:731)(cid:728)(cid:722)(cid:724) (cid:742)(cid:734)(cid:737)(cid:730)" . (cid:740)(cid:733)(cid:723)(cid:724)(cid:737)(cid:738)(cid:739)(cid:720)(cid:733)(cid:723) (cid:739)(cid:727)(cid:724) (cid:740)(cid:733)(cid:742)(cid:737)(cid:728)(cid:739)(cid:739)(cid:724)(cid:733) (cid:738)(cid:740)(cid:721)(cid:722)(cid:740)(cid:731)(cid:739)(cid:740)(cid:737)(cid:720)(cid:731) (cid:737)(cid:740)(cid:731)(cid:724)(cid:738)" that govern police actions. Thus, officers must imbue their mundane work with meaning. This is achieved via developing a sense of territorialisation in their beat.
