目的
警察合法性已成为二十一世纪警务研究的核心概念。本文的目的是通过研究加拿大北部高需求环境中警务合法性的动态来贡献新知识。
设计/方法论/途径
采用案例研究方法来探讨造成警察与原住民关系挑战的历史和当代因素，这些挑战如何影响公众对警察的信心和信任，以及社区、警察和政府如何采取行动解决这些问题。
研究结果
研究结果表明，在高需求环境中，警察、原住民和政府有可能实施改革并为警察与社区的合作奠定基础。发展基于信任和持续对话的关系是建立警察合法性的重要组成部分。
研究局限性/影响
这项研究是在北部的一个司法管辖区进行的。研究结果可能适用于警察参与维持原住民治安的其他司法管辖区。
实际意义
该案例研究深入了解了从根本上改变警察与原住民关系、改善高需求环境中警察服务交付以及确保改革持续所需的流程。
原创性/价值
警察的合法性主要在城市环境中受到检验，在城市环境中，警察部门拥有相当大的能力，并且有来自各机构和组织的广泛支持网络。北部社区的警务动态明显不同，为提高警察合法性带来了挑战和机遇。
Purpose
Police legitimacy has emerged as a core concept in the study of twenty-first century policing. The purpose of this paper is to contribute new knowledge by examining the dynamics surrounding policing legitimacy in a high demand environment in Northern Canada.
Design/methodology/approach
A case study approach was used to explore the historical and contemporary factors that contributed to the challenges surrounding the police-First Nations relations, how these challenges affected public confidence in, and trust of, the police, and how the communities, police, and government took action to address these issues.
Findings
The findings reveal that it is possible for the police, First Nations, and government in high demand environments to implement reforms and to create the foundation for police-community collaboration. The development of relationships based on trust and a continuing dialogue is important components in building police legitimacy.
Research limitations/implications
The study was conducted in one northern jurisdiction. The findings may apply to other jurisdictions where the police are involved in policing indigenous peoples.
Practical implications
The case study provides insight into the processes required to fundamentally alter the police-First Nations relations, to improve police service delivery in high demand environments, and to ensure that reforms are sustained.
Originality/value
Police legitimacy has been examined primarily in urban environments where police services have considerable capacities and there re-extensive networks of support from various agencies and organizations. The dynamics of policing in northern communities are appreciably different and present challenges as well as opportunities for improving police legitimacy.
