What do the police know? - Comparative fields research

09. Oktober | 09:00

As for every profession, law enforcement is based on specific forms of knowledge (such as penal law, doctrine or occupational culture) rooted in every day policing, framing the way police officers deal with encounters and everyday issues. These cognitiveaspects of police work have been the focus of the French-­‐German research project CODISP since 2012.

Based on extensive field research in several police departments in France and Germany, this project highlights the diversity of formal and informal cognitive resources in the daily street work an management tasks of the police, the way these resources circulate within the police as well as with other institutions, and the effects of security policy reforms on these cognitive patterns and tools. The CODISP project also uses a comparative approach by confronting several local and national situations in France and Germany. The conference “What do the police know? Comparative fieldr esearch” that will take place at the Centre Marc Bloch (Berlin) on 09.10.2015 aims at presenting the results of the CODISP project and at discussing these findings with law enforcement and penal law specialists.

The discussions will be held in English.
