Report of a project which gathered data on police-public street
encounters following an earlier report on Community and Race
Relations Training for the Police which recommended that if role
playing scenarios are to be of real help to individual officers
they need to be based on detailed and objective observational
studies of actual events. Observational methods were used by a
team of field workers who accompanied uniformed police officers
in three different cities: London, Birmingham and Bristol. This
report consists of a selection of case studies comprising
descriptions of, and dialogue from, a number of the encounters
witnessed. Considers the implications of the data for police
public relations and for police training. Notes that, although
the vast majority of encounters proceed in a polite and friendly
manner,there are a few examples of bad practice

United Kingdom, ethnic minority, law enforcement, privacy, body
language, dispute, traffic policing, PSIB
