Submitted for examination on September 30th, 2013. Daniel Bear 3 Abstract The number of police recorded incidents in England and Wales involving cannabis more than doubled between 2004 and 2009 even though use of the drug was in decline and official policy was geared towards tackling drugs ‘that cause most harm’(Home Office 2008). Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in a single London borough during the 12 months leading up to the 2011 riots, this research examines the place of drugs within everyday policing, focusing on the working lives of street-level police officers who are not attached to specialist drug squads. The concept of bifurcation (Garland 1996, 2001) is used to make sense of, ”a series of policies that appear deeply conflicted, even schizoid, in their relation to one another” (Garland 2001, pg. 110). Analysis of the ethnographic data shows how the ‘structured ambivalence’ of state responses is evident in relation to front-line policing, including the policing of drugs. We find that the backbone of modern policing, Response Teams, are being pulled towards a ‘classic’ style of policing where officers ‘act out’ and impose order through the visible exercise of their powers, reasserting the authority of the state. This is a far cry from officers in Safer Neighbourhood Teams who work predominantly on Community Policing efforts, adapting their working styles, engaging with community partners, and focusing on ‘damage limitation’ efforts. The thesis charts these different orientations in relation to officers’ general activities, before going onto show how they are visible in the way each team approaches drugs policing. From here it will be argued that the increase in recorded incidents involving drugs reflects the influence of New Public Managerialism and the focus on output-based targets. These performance targets were easily fulfilled by targeting low-level drugs offences, and once met, officers were free to police as they saw fit. Instead of officers evolving their practices as the organisation evolved, NPM allowed officers to stand firm and maintain their culture, policing practice, and sense of mission. The author accompanied both Response Teams and Safer Neighbourhood Teams of the Metropolitan Police Service during their shifts, and also conducted 23 interviews with officers. This research also developed new digital ethnography methods that might be utilised by ethnographers in other disciplines. 4 Table of Contents DECLARATION ...................................................................................................................................... 2 ABSTRACT .............................................................................................................................................. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ......................................................................................................................... 4 TABLE OF FIGURES ............................................................................................................................. 7 ABBREVIATIONS .................................................................................................................................. 8 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..................................................................................................................... 10 CHAPTER 1- INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................ 11 1.1 WHY STUDY THIS AREA ............................................................................................................. 13 1.2 WHAT WILL BE COVERED .......................................................................................................... 16 1.3 TELLING THIS STORY ................................................................................................................. 20 CHAPTER 2- LITERATURE AND POLICY REVIEW .......................................................... 22 2.1 THE WHAT, HOW, AND WHO OF MODERN POLICING ................................................................. 23 2.1.1 What Is Policing Today, and How is it Occurring?

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Inger S. B. Brodey Todd Ramón Ochoa Marsha S. Collins Tanya L. Shields Madeline G.

B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

PUB DATE Mar 71 NOTE 121p.; Ph. D.. thesis submitted to the School of Education of the University of Minnesota EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Achievement Gains, Audio Active Laboratories, Audiolingual Methods, Audiovisual Instruction, Aural Learning, *Botany, Comparative Analysis, Individual Characteristics, Individual Study, *Intermode Differences, *Speech Compression, *Tape Recordings, Teaching Methods, Time Factors (Learning) ABSTRACT Experiments measur-A the effectiveness and efficiency of audio tape recordings using "time-compressed speech" compared to those using normal recording rates in an audio-tutorial system. The experimental tapes were compressed to 60 percent of the original rate of delivery. Results showed that the rate of speech made no difference in the students* achievement. The time-compressed recording group had a 12.3 percent saving of time as compared to the control group, but this saving is not statistically significant. Little relationship was found between achievement and the personality characteristics of creativity and sociai:ility as measured by the Remote Associations Test and the Thornlike Dimensions of Temperament test. No advantage or disadvantage accrues from using time-compressed recordings in an audio-tutorial system. Results indicate that high rates of speech, up to 210 words a minute, should work well on tapes assuming the speaker is intelligible.

As an Office we have encountered occasions when it has been very difficult to identify individual police vehicles. The police are now very much committed to policing with the community and co-operated with us in the work now being published. What we have tried to do here is to examine the whole issue of police identification, to gauge public and police views on the matter, and to make sensible suggestions, which are designed to facilitate better officer and equipment identification.
