这篇文章是一个反思性的分析，研究人员的特点，如性别，年龄，种族和地位的影响，在冲突地区做警察研究。报告的研究探讨了在印度受左翼极端主义影响地区工作的一线警官的看法。我建议从这项工作中产生的五个工作命题。第一，在整个面谈过程中，面谈者和被面谈者之间必须进行权力谈判。第二，虽然研究人员的性别和年龄的影响研究过程中，它提出的地位主导权力的谈判在等级组织。第三，在冲突地区工作对研究人员和研究过程施加了许多限制，这影响了研究设计和结果。第四，面试现场的微观地理与权力谈判的进行方式有关。最后，解决伦理困境的指导方针很少为棘手的实地研究情况提供解决方案。
This article is a reflexive analysis of the impact of researcher characteristics such as gender, age, ethnicity and status on doing police research in conflict zones. The reported research explored perceptions of front-line police officers working in left wing extremism-affected areas in India. I suggest five working propositions that emerge from this work. First, power is necessarily negotiated between the interviewer and the interviewee throughout the interview process. Second, while researcher gender and age do influence the research process, it is proposed that status dominates power negotiations in hierarchical organisations. Third, working in conflict zones places many restrictions on the researcher and the research process, which impact research design and outcomes. Fourth, the microgeography of the interview site is relevant to how power negotiations are conducted. Finally, guidelines to resolve ethical dilemmas rarely provide solutions to tricky field research situations.
