Graduate student Michelle Stewart, under the direction of Dr. Joseph Dumit, will undertake ethnographic research on how "community policing," a new policing policy, affects police and public relationships and mutual perceptions. Community policing requires police and residents to collaborate on crime prevention. This form of policing introduces ongoing training programs to encourage police and residents to become collaborators in crime prevention. The researcher will investigate the consequences of this collaboration, particularly in how it may result in redefining and altering expectations of police officers, community members, crime, and criminal activity. The research has a comparative research design. It will carried out in two urban sites: Los Angeles, California, and Vancouver, Canada. The researcher will conduct interviews and observe at both police training and citizen's academies, stratifying the sample by age to detect changes in cognitive models of policing and crime that may have developed after the introduction of community policing. She also will observe community policing in action, using gang violence prevention as a focal case. The research is important because it will contribute to ongoing social science research on changing configurations of governance. The research also will contribute to the work of those involved in advocacy and reform projects surrounding policing, crime prevention, and gang violence. In addition, the research supports the education of a graduate student.

研究生米歇尔·斯图尔特在约瑟夫·杜米特博士的指导下，将对“社区警务”这一新的警务政策如何影响警察和公共关系以及相互看法进行人种学研究。社区警务要求警察和居民在预防犯罪方面进行合作。这种形式的警务引入了持续的培训方案，以鼓励警察和居民成为预防犯罪的合作者。研究人员将调查这种合作的后果，特别是在它如何可能导致重新定义和改变警察，社区成员，犯罪和犯罪活动的期望。本研究采用比较研究设计。它将在两个城市进行：加州的洛杉矶和加拿大的温哥华。 研究人员将在警察培训和公民学院进行访谈和观察，按年龄对样本进行分层，以检测社区警务引入后可能发展起来的警务和犯罪认知模式的变化。她还将观察社区警务的行动，将预防帮派暴力作为重点案件。这项研究很重要，因为它将有助于正在进行的关于改变治理结构的社会科学研究。这项研究还将有助于那些参与宣传和改革项目周围的警务，预防犯罪和帮派暴力的工作。此外，该研究还支持研究生的教育。
