Policiers, gendarmes et signalement descriptif. Représentations, apprentissages et pratiques d'une nouvelle technique de police judiciaire, en France…
2006
À partir des années 1880, les nouveaux procédés d’identification développés par Alphonse Bertillon à la Préfecture de police de Paris représentent des moyens modernes et efficaces de police judiciaire face à une criminalité perçue comme irrésistible. Parmi ceux-ci, le signalement descriptif, ou « portrait parlé », est réputé permettre la reconnaissance infaillible d’un individu dont les traits du visage auraient été minutieusement décrits par cette technique particulière. Fait notable, sans doute inédit et sans équivalent alors, cette technique est enseignée aux divers acteurs de la police française – policiers de la Préfecture de police, de la Sûreté générale, mais aussi gendarmes et garde…
Digging up the frequency of phrasal verbs in English for the Police: the case of up
2016
The present study focuses on the frequency of phrasal verbs with the particle up in the context of crime and police investigative work. This research emerges from the need to enlarge McCarthy and O’Dell’s (2004) scope from purely criminal behavior to police investigative actions. To do so, we relied on a corpus of 504,124 running words made up of spoken dialogues extracted from the script of the American TV series Castle shown on ABC since 2009. Based on Rudzka-Ostyn’s (2003) cognitive motivations for the particle up, we have identified five different meaning extensions for our phrasal verbs. Drawing from these findings, we have designed pedagogical activities for those L2 learners that stu…
La readmisión de extranjeros en situación irregular entre Estados miembros: consecuencias empírico-jurídicas de la gestión policial de las fronteras …
2017
Resumen: La comisaría de Policía Nacional de Irun, ciudad situada en la frontera entre los Estados españoles y franceses, en comparación con otras comisarías de la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco, tiene los datos más altos de arrestos de extranjeros en situación irregular. Aunque es común encontrar controles policiales cerca del entorno fronterizo esto choca con la idea de eliminación de fronteras en el Unión Europea. El lugar donde estaba la barrera fronteriza ha sido ocupada por un peaje de automóviles construido con una estructura muy particular: con cámara de vigilancia, con garitas para policías, etc. El 70% de las personas detenidas en el Centro de Detención francés de Hendaia en 20…
Keep your eyes open: dispositional vigilance moderates the relationship between operational police stress and stress symptoms.
2017
ABSTRACTBackground: Vigilant coping is characterized by a deep processing of threat-related information. In many cases, vigilant coping increases stress symptoms, whereas avoidant coping decreases negative affect. However, vigilance may be beneficial when stress-eliciting situations involve a risk of injury or escalation as is usually the case in police operations. Design: We investigated the roles of vigilance and cognitive avoidance in police operations in a cross-sectional survey. Methods: The participants were 137 students (104 men, Mage = 28.54, SD = 8.04) from the Federal University of Applied Administrative Sciences; 76 of them were already police officers (work experience: M = 12.59…

Police involvement in cases of intimate partner violence against women: the influence of perceived severity and personal responsibility.
2008
The influence of perceived severity and sense of personal responsibility of police officers on their level of involvement in cases of intimate partner violence against women is analyzed. Three levels of police involvement are considered: low, medium, and high. The sample consists of 143 Spanish police officers. A 2 × 2 × 3 factorial design is conducted to test hypotheses. Effects of perceived severity and personal responsibility are found only at the highest level of police involvement. For low and medium levels of involvement, no differences in perceived severity and personal responsibility of police officers are found.
No association between periodontal disease and GHQ-12 in a Brazilian Police population
2010
Objectives: We attempt to investigate a possible association between periodontal disease (PD) and mental disorders (MD) in a population of Brazilian Police. Study Method: From a total study population consisting of 803 policemen, 345 police officers were obtained by a sample calculation using the finite population correction who were randomly selected in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Patients who had been prescribed steroids or those diagnosed with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases were excluded from this study. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was used to assess mental disorders. Odds ratios (ORs) for periodontal diseases severity and their respective 95% confidence inte…
Transformational Leadership in the Local Police in Spain: a Leader-Follower Distance Approach
2014
AbstractBased on the transformational leadership theory (Bass, 1985), the aim of the present study was to analyze the differences in leadership styles according to the various leading ranks and the organizational follower-leader distance reported by a representative sample of 975 local police members (828 male and 147 female) from Valencian Community (Spain). Results showed differences by rank (p< .01), and by rank distance (p< .05). The general intendents showed the most optimal profile of leadership in all the variables examined (transformational-leadership behaviors, transactional-leadership behaviors,laissez-fairebehaviors, satisfaction with the leader, extra effort by follower, a…
Police attitudes toward policing partner violence against women: do they correspond to different psychosocial profiles?
2010
This study analyzed whether police attitudes toward policing partner violence against women corresponded with different psychosocial profiles. Two attitudes toward policing partner violence were considered—one reflecting a general preference for a conditional law enforcement (depending on the willingness of the victim to press charges against the offender) and the other reflecting a general preference for unconditional law enforcement (regardless of the victim’s willingness to press charges against the offender). Results from a sample of 378 police officers showed that those police officers who expressed a general preference for unconditional law enforcement scored higher in other-oriented…
«1912, l'affaire Bonnot : les effets contradictoires d'une crise sécuritaire sur les polices et la gendarmerie»
2007
Article en ligne. Consultable : URL : http://socio-logos.revues.org/document521.html; À la veille du premier conflit mondial, la poursuite de malfaiteurs motorisés mobilisa l'ensemble des forces de l'ordre dont disposait alors la République. Si, en avril-mai 1912, les meneurs de la « bande à Bonnot » sont tués et stoppe la course des « bandits tragiques », ces morts ne marquent pas le terme de l'affaire pour les policiers et les gendarmes. Les pouvoirs publics ne peuvent accepter le renouvellement d'une telle crise sécuritaire, dont la durée s'expliquerait par les disfonctionnements des relations entre composantes de la force publique. L'organisation de la police judiciaire est sur la selle…
