Drawing on a small-scale ethnogrpahic study in one UK police force, the paper offers insights into how different individuals and groups legitimate particular definitions of policing performance through invoking contrasting constructions of community policing. In doing so, the paper focuses on the discursive analysis of change defined in two interrelated ways: firstly with regard to the intentions and implementation of a new discursive template; and secondly, as ongoing situated human agency in context. Findings from the study show how `Dixon of Dock Green' - an archaic stereotype of the slow-witted but endearing `PC Plod' character - is used as a discursive resource to both acknowledge and resist the legitimacy of community work in the definition of `real policing'. Despite attempts over the last two decades to underpin policing priorities, as well as roles and cultures, with a collaborative, community focused approach, the study suggests a marginal impact on policing processes, performance and work identities. - Reproduced. |
