Policing and Citizenship: Resourcing a Better Understanding

警察在当代媒体上有很高的知名度，但往往是耸人听闻的。这个项目旨在将民主社会中的治安问题降低到日常生活中，而不是耸人听闻的水平。它是基于开放大学的历史学家和伦敦警察厅历史收藏的工作人员之间的密切合作。开放大学的历史学家以研究警务的历史和发展而闻名。它将借鉴研究警务历史的前沿学者的工作，但将以一种易于在校学生访问的格式呈现这些工作。它将从大都会警察历史收藏的档案馆藏和文物中提取材料，提供教学包和展览，这两者都旨在教育和产生理解和辩论。研究的主要产出将是：1。为课程不同阶段的学生设计的八个教学包。一个与伦敦警务的历史和发展有关的展览，但在整个英国引起了共鸣。一个详细的同义词典和路线指南为警察档案在开放大学。

Policing has a high visibility in the contemporary media, but often in a sensational fashion. This project aims to bring issues of policing in a democratic society down to an every-day, non-sensational level. It is based on a close working partnership between historians at the Open University well-known for their work on the history and development of policing and the staff of the Metropolitan Police Historical Collection. It will draw on the work of academics at the cutting edge of research into the history of policing, but will present that work in a format readily accessible to school students. It will deploy material from the archival holdings and artefacts in the keeping of the Metropolitan Police Historical Collection to present teaching packages and an exhibition both of which are designed to educate and to generate understanding and debate.The main outputs of the research will be:1. Eight teaching packs designed for students at different stages across the curriculum.2. An exhibition relating to the history and development of policing in London, but with resonances across the UK.3. A detailed thesaurus and route-guide for the Police Archive at the Open University.
