Police Culture and Professionalism: A Follow-up Study of Recruits

本研究是对一项关于警察文化的纵向研究（1995-1997）的后续研究。最初的研究基于150名新招募的警察，分析了警察职业化概念的社会化过程和发展。拟议中的研究将跟踪这群人的职业生涯，并检查自最初研究以来对警察和专业态度的任何变化。这将是澳大利亚同类研究中的第一个，预计将进一步研究人员已经认可的理论和实践贡献，以理解警察文化及其与警务社会政治条件的关系。

This is a follow-up study of a longitudinal (1995-1997) research on police culture. The original research, based on a cohort of 150 police recruits, analysed the socialisation process and the development of concepts of police professionalism. The proposed study will track the careers of the cohort and examine any changes in attitudes to policing and professionalism since the original study. It will be the first study of its kind in Australia and is expected to further the researcher's already recognised theoretical and practical contribution to the understanding of police culture and its relationship with the socio-political conditions of policing.
