作为冲突的持久遗产，准军事警务在贝尔法斯特的工人阶级和共和党社区中仍然是一个令人不快但不争的事实。从历史上看，虽然人们对准军事主义的原因和后果以及这些组织构成的恐怖主义威胁给予了很大关注，但很少注意到这些非国家警务行为者、它们所在的社区以及北爱尔兰警察局提供警务服务的影响或它们之间的关系。虽然有关准军事暴力的当地和国际文献倾向于这种活动的政治公理或实际影响，但本文件对社区和共和准军事组织之间的关系进行了实证研究，这些准军事组织试图利用贝尔法斯特社区一级明显缺乏以国家为基础的警务的情况。在阐述准军事警务及其从社区而不是政治或安全角度提供支持的本体论时，该文件认为，在贝尔法斯特的共和社区内，基层继续支持这一“新的”准军事警务，比这种活动产生的冲突的政治先例更为复杂和微妙--特别是在1998年《耶稣受难日协议》以来的连续政治谈判和警察改革之后的这种支持方面。
As an enduring legacy of the conflict, paramilitary policing remains an unpalatable but indisputable fact within Belfast's working-class, Republican communities. Historically, while much attention has been devoted to the causes and consequences of paramilitarism along with the terrorist threat posed by such organizations, little attention has been paid to the influence upon, or relations between, such nonstate policing actors, the communities in which they exist and the delivery of policing by the Police Service of Northern Ireland. While local and international literature surrounding paramilitary violence has tended towards political axiom or physical impact of such activity, the current paper presents an empirical study of the relations between communities and Republican paramilitary organizations who seek to exploit a perceived dearth of state-based policing at the community level within Belfast. Framing the ontology of paramilitary policing and its support from a community, rather than political or security perspective, the paper argues that continuing grass-roots support for this ‘new’ paramilitary policing within Republican communities of Belfast is more complex and nuanced than the political antecedents of the conflict from which such activity emerged – especially in terms of such support surviving successive political negotiations and police reforms since the ‘Good Friday’ Agreement of 1998.
