  • KM Thesis-Master 20160925-Final
    The Construction of the Gang in British Columbia: Mafioso, Gangster, or Thug? An Examination of the Uniqueness of the BC Gangster Phenomenon By Keiron McConnell M.Sc. Public Order Policing, Leicester University, 2004 B.G.S., Open University of BC, 2002 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Policing, Security and Community Safety John Grieve Centre Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities © Keiron McConnell 2015 London Metropolitan University September 2015 Abstract This thesis explores the structure, demographics, and history of gangs in British Columbia (BC), Canada, through a social constructionist lens. The purpose of this research is for the reader to consider the current state of gangs in BC as inherently different from other places in the world, to assist in understanding why there may be misconceptions, and to promote the research and implementation of more appropriate context-specific interventions. Building on previous work conducted as a Vancouver Police officer of over 27 years, I participated in field observations with gang units in Toronto and Hobbema, Canada; Chicago and Los Angeles, USA; and London, England. I also examined gang typologies and definitions in academic literature as a segment of the historical context of gang research and highlight how these bodies of literature contribute to the social construction of gangs. A historical review of media-reported gang violence in BC from 1903 to 2012 demonstrates that gang violence is not a new phenomenon, and its history is an essential element in the constructed concept of the gang. As well, I conducted semi-structured interviews with participants who either police gangs, work with gangs, or were former gang members to get their perspectives on the issue.

  • Policing Public Disorder in a Canadian Community in Crisis
    POLICING PUBLIC DISORDER IN A CANADIAN COMMUNITY IN CRISIS Mr. Keiron R. McConnell A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Policing and Public Order Studies University of Leicester 2003 University of Leicester Abstract POLICING PUBLIC DISORDER IN A CANADIAN COMMUNITY IN CRISIS by Mr. Keiron R. McConnell Chairperson of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Mike King Scarman Centre For the past several years a debate has been occurring about reason for the reduction of crime in New York City under the leadership of Mayor Giuliani and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton. Some claim that the principles of Broken Windows Theory worked to reduce crime. Others claim that the reduction had little to do with Broken Windows Theory and more to do with increased police, aggressive patrol tactics and abuses of the public by police. This research was conducted into an initiative by the Vancouver Police to reassign sixty police officers to the Downtown Eastside. This initiative, Citywide Enforcement Team was put in place to reduce disorder in the DTES. This research study utilized observational methods combined with quantitative and qualitative analysis to conclude that the introduction of the CET into the DTES impacted positively on the level of disorder and crime in that community.
