Policing and Citizenship: Resourcing a Better Understanding

警务工作在当代媒体中有很高的知名度，但往往是以耸人听闻的方式。该项目旨在将民主社会中的警务问题降低到日常、非耸人听闻的水平。它是基于开放大学历史学家与大都会警察历史收藏工作人员之间的密切工作伙伴关系，开放大学以其在警务历史和发展方面的工作而闻名。它将借鉴学术界在警务史研究方面的前沿工作，但将以学生容易获得的形式呈现这项工作。它将利用大都会警察历史收藏馆保存的档案和手工艺品中的材料，提供教学材料和展览，这两种材料都是为了教育、促进理解和辩论。八个教学包，专为整个大学不同阶段的学生设计。一个与伦敦警务的历史和发展有关的展览，但在英国各地引起了共鸣。开放大学警察档案馆的详细词库和路线指南。

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.
