重建城市中心的尝试导致了以酒精为主导的娱乐为基础的“夜间经济”(NTE)的产生。与此同时,暴力事件也在增加。利用社会认同研究对集体行动的见解,我们认为,新界东暴力可以被视为一个群体层面的现象。20个焦点小组进行了与参与者谁一起社交(参与者总数= 53)。与会者讨论了他们在新界东的经历,包括暴力。对记录的专题分析得出了四种以群体的方式讨论新界东暴力的方式:群体间暴力、群体内暴力、群体内干预(升级)和群体内干预(管制)。分析显示,团体在新界东暴力事件中既可以发挥消极作用,也可以发挥积极作用,包括规范团体成员远离暴力。在展示暴力的NTE组内调节的重要性,我们扩展社会身份的研究超越了对组间人群暴力的关注,并揭示了在反暴力干预利用这些过程的实际潜力。版权所有© 2012约翰威利父子有限公司.
The attempt to regenerate city centres has led to the creation of a ‘night‐time economy’ (NTE) based around alcohol‐led entertainment. This has been accompanied by an increase of violence. Using insights from social identity research on collective action, we argue that NTE violence can be viewed as a group‐level phenomenon. Twenty focus groups were conducted with participants who socialise together (total number of participants = 53). Participants discussed their experiences of the NTE, including violence. A thematic analysis of the transcripts drew out four ways in which NTE violence is discussed in group terms: intergroup violence, intragroup violence, intragroup intervention (escalation) and intragroup intervention (regulation). The analysis reveals that groups can have both negative and positive roles in NTE violence, including regulating fellow group members away from violence. In demonstrating the importance of intragroup regulation of violence in the NTE, we extend social identity research beyond the focus on intergroup crowd violence and reveal the practical potential of harnessing such processes in anti‐violence interventions.
