The research I propose to conduct will explore the occurrence of feelings of trust, blame and confidence within police organisations, specifically South Wales Police. It will explore the consequences of a potential 'blame culture' by an intensive case study into the police force's formal and informal working practices. It will focus on the cause and extent of risk aversion, exploring staff fears of a blame culture within the organisation. It will seek to understand the effects of current practices on the culture and workings of the force, and how these impact upon feelings of organisational justice and police legitimacy by its employees. The research will supplement an existing body of literature that has been conducted into the existence of an internal 'blame culture' and will expand on this by exploring the experiences of the participants as to how this culture is represented and the effects it has. The research is important for thisreason and will aim to provide insight into why such feelings occur. This research project aims to deepen our existing understanding via the following research questions:How are attitudes to risk, blame and scrutiny formed?To what extent are issues of blame, risk aversion and lack of trust and confidence an issue for staff within South Wales Police?What influences these attitudes and how do they affect behaviour?Have methods for addressing these problems already been identified? If so, have they been implemented, and if not, why not?What barriers exist at present to prevent changes from occurring?These questions aim to identify and explore the source and extent of any 'blame culture', and what problems it specifically causes for South Wales Police. It is important to subsequently identify what solutions may solve these issues, but also what has been proposed in the past, whether this has been implemented, and what the results were. It will be key to explore why these solutions have not been utilised, in order to avoid repetition of any past work.

我提议进行的研究将探讨警察组织内信任，指责和信心的感觉，特别是南威尔士警察的发生。它将通过对警察部队正式和非正式工作实践的深入案例研究，探讨潜在的“指责文化”的后果。它将关注风险厌恶的原因和程度，探讨员工对组织内部指责文化的担忧。它将试图了解目前的做法对警队文化和工作的影响，以及这些影响如何影响其员工对组织公正和警察合法性的感受。这项研究将补充现有的研究内部“责备文化”存在的文献，并将通过探索参与者的经验来扩展这一研究，了解这种文化是如何表现的，以及它的影响。由于这个原因，这项研究很重要，其目的是深入了解这种感觉发生的原因。本研究项目旨在通过以下研究问题加深我们现有的理解：对风险、指责和审查的态度是如何形成的？在多大程度上，责备、风险厌恶和缺乏信任和信心是南威尔士警察工作人员的问题？是什么影响了这些态度？它们又是如何影响行为的？是否已经确定了解决这些问题的方法？如果有，它们是否被执行，如果没有，为什么没有？目前存在哪些阻碍变革发生的障碍？这些问题旨在识别和探索任何“指责文化”的来源和程度，以及它具体给南威尔士警察带来的问题。重要的是随后确定哪些解决方案可以解决这些问题，但也要确定过去提出了什么，是否已经实施，以及结果如何。为了避免重复过去的工作，探索为什么这些解决方案没有被利用将是关键。
