思考和实施社会影响已成为大学研究的决定性特征,特别是在联合王国。本文反映了这一正在展开的转变,在概念化和实践的研究,特别是关于犯罪学。它追踪了新的监管制度的发展,这些制度旨在衡量研究绩效并使影响可审计。它认为,这些“验证仪式”产生工具和狭隘的解释的影响,雅阁空间较少的研究知情的社会变革作为一个非线性和不确定的努力。这与植根于共同生产方法的社会影响概念并列。2014年和2021年英国卓越研究框架的见解为讨论提供了信息,并与合作研究工作进行了对比,以在警务研究中应用合作生产。
Thinking about and operationalizing societal impacts have become defining characteristics of university-based research, especially in the United Kingdom. This paper reflects on this unfolding shift in the conceptualization and practice of research with particular regard to criminology. It traces the development of new regulatory regimes that seek to measure research performance and render impact auditable. It argues that these ‘rituals of verification’ engender instrumental and narrow interpretations of impact that accord less space to research-informed social change as a non-linear and uncertain endeavour. This is juxtaposed with a conception of societal impact rooted in methodologies of co-production. Insights from the UK Research Excellence Framework 2014 and 2021 inform discussions and are contrasted with collaborative research efforts to apply co-production in policing research.
