Description: Police Community Support Officers by Megan O'Neill Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An analysis of findings from a comprehensive observational study of police community support officers (PCSOs), examining the distinct culture of PCSOs, what relationships between PCSOs and police officers are like within a rapidly diversifying organisation, and how this develops the policing pluralisation discourse. Publisher Description Police Community Support Officers: Cultures and Identities within Pluralised Policing presents the first in-depth ethnographic study of Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) since the creation of the role in 2002. Situated within the tradition of police ethnographies, this text examines the working worlds of uniformed patrol support staff in two English police forces. Based on over 350 hours of direct observation and 33 interviews with PCSOs and policeconstables in both urban and rural contexts, Police Community Support Officers offers a detailed analysis of the operational and cultural realities of pluralised policing from within.Using a dramaturgic framework, the author finds that PCSOs have been undermined by their own organisations from the beginning, which has left a lasting legacy in terms of their relationships and interactions with police officer colleagues. The implications of this for police cultures, community policing approaches and the success of pluralisation are examined. The author argues that while PCSOs can have similar occupational experiences to constables, their particularcircumstances have led to a unique occupational culture, one which has implications for existing police culture theories. The book considers these findings in light of budget reductions and police reformsoccurring across the sector, processes in which PCSOs are particularly vulnerable.
