“Left-wing ticks”, “decent citizens”, “humble heroes” – the attributions of self and others in the police force do not always stem from their own experience, but are often handed-down stereotypes that guide the work of “street cops”.
What are the reasons for these images of self and others – between idealization and demonization?
How do police officers see themselves and what do they know about their public? Violence by and against the police also plays a role, as it is often only a reciprocal expression of aggressive impulses.
Rafael Behr is professor of police science with a focus on criminology and sociology at the University of Applied Sciences of the Academy of Police Hamburg and head of the Research Center Culture and Security (FoKuS).
