(Generally given early in the article.) 讨论了警察对警察程序电视节目(特别是CSI和类似节目)对其调查过程和专家地位的影响的看法。多数人认为,调查工作的公众期望受电视节目的影响,其中只有少数警察把不切实际的公众期望作为角色紧张的根源,其余人则认为,作为教育公众真正的警务调查工作是什么的机会(p.60)。 It discusses the perceptions of police to the influence caused by police procedural television programs (especially CSI and similar programs) to their investigative process and expert status. The majority hold that public expectations of investigative work are influenced by TV program; among them only a few of police officers take unrealistic public expectation as a source of role strain, the rest hold that as an opportunity to educate public what the real policing investigative work is(p.60).   b) What is/are the research question/s or hypothesis/es used in this study? (List a maximum of two.)b)本研究中使用的研究问题或假设是什么?(最多列出两个。) 研究问题包括:1)公众对警察调查工作的期望是否受到CSI等电视节目和其他警察程序电视节目的影响?2)是否影响了公众的期望,导致了对警官专业知识和工作方法的质疑,进而导致了他们的角色紧张? The research questions include: 1) whether public expectations of police investigative work are influenced by television programs like CSI and other police procedural TV programs? 2) whether influenced public expectations result in doubts of expert knowledge and work methods of police officers, and further result in role strain of them? c) Name the epistemology/ies used in the study? (eg. Objectivism, constructionism or subjectivism).  Why do you think so?c)说出研究中使用的认识论?(如客观主义、建构主义或主观主义)。你为什么这么认为? 本研究采用主观主义。主观主义是以人的心理活动、主观经验和个人知识为基础的。在本研究中,公众对警察调查工作的期望,以及警察的心理活动和行为,以及在这方面的角色紧张,都取决于他们的主观意识。 In the study, subjectivism is used. Subjectivism is based on one’s mental activity, subjective experience and individual knowledge. In the study, the public expectations to police officers’ investigative work, and police officers’ mental activities and behaviors, as well as role strain in this regard all depends on their subjective awareness.  d) Name the research paradigm/s used in the study (e.g. Positivism, systems theory, interpretivism, critical theory or functionalism).  Explain why this study falls under that/those paradigm/s. Interpretivism is used in this study. Interpretivism is also called antipositivism, which is an important paradigm in social science. Interpretivism rejects empiricism and relevant scientific methods, it emphasizes that the researchers should concentrate on the interpretations of people’s social actions. In this study, police forces’ social actions are influenced by public expectations, and public expectations are easily influenced by police procedural television program. Public expectation of policing work influenced by crime program has effect on the interactions of police officers and the public.  Functionism: Page 60, para.3 - public queries and demands of policing investigative work can be an opportunity to dispel negative influence caused by crime programs.  e) What is/are the covering law/s or specific theory/ies used as starting points in the study? Social identity (Goffman, 1959, 1963) theory is the covering law of the study. In regard to policing, ‘knowledge work’ is the main focus. (Manning, 1977; 2003; Ericson and Haggerty, 1997) f) What specific research / data collection method/s (eg. Interviews,  field  studies, surveys, focus groups, content  analysis, case studies etc.), has/have been used in the study? Semi-structured interview has been used in the study, 31 police officers’ experience and points are collected.  g) Has this study used multiple methods of data collection? If so, what are they? If not, what other methods of data collection could have been used in addition to the one/s used in the study and why? What would be their uses and advantages? The study doesn’t use multiple methods. It mainly uses qualitative method to collect data. Though qualitative method is subjective and easily influenced by persons’ prejudice, it helps to understand the interviewees’ true feelings and ideas, and can always get the first-hand materials.  Some other quantitative methods can also be used to collect data, such as questionnaire survey. Questionnaire survey is a good complement to semi-structured interview, which can identify problems and interpret phenomena.  h) What other research paradigm/s could have been used to study the same phenomenon and why?  The study mainly uses interpretivism to study the phenomenon. Positivism is opposite to interpretivism, however it can also be used to study the phenomenon. Positivism is mostly quantitative, which employs questionnaire survey and other qualitative methods to collect data. Generally speaking, positivism collects a large amount of data, through strictly statistic and analysis the conclusion can be made. Speicifically, the purpose of this study is to investigate police officers’ perceptions of unrealistic public expectations, the study could be designed according to representative attitudes of police officers. Through collecting a large amount of data, the analysis of data can explain what kind of attitude is prevail among police officers and can further explain the reasons.  i) Is this study deductive or inductive? Explain why you think so. This study is inductive. It mainly uses qualitative method, namely semi-structured interview; 31 police officers of Canada are chosen as interviewees. Semi-structured interview is free talk between interviewer and respondents, no quantitative analysing involved. Conclusions got from interviews are something general.  j) What are the variables of this study? Which of them is/are independent and dependent? (List at least one of each.) Different types of investigators are independent variables in this study. Specifically, types of investigators include: major crimes investigator, homicide investigator, sex crimes investigator, property crime investigator and forensic identification officers (p.50), these types involve different policing knowledge and investigative procedures,and will not be influenced by other variables of this study. Perceptions of police officers toward public expectation to the policing investigative work are dependent variables.Perceptions of police officers are subjective, which are easily influenced by a lot of factors. For example, expectations of victims and that of ordinary people are different, their attitudes and expectations have different impact on the perceptions of police officers.  k) How are the variables operationalised? (What are the operational definitions used?) (list at least one.) Public expectation to the investigative work of police officer: Page 50, para.2 – “Two sources have been identified that suggest that CSI and similar television crime programs might have such effects.” The first source is earlier studies with this regard. (Stenrossand Kleinman, 1989)The second source is published police anecdotes. (CBC, 2006; see alsoHouck, 2006)Through literature review and observation, the operational definition gives “public expectation to the investigative work of police officer” meaning within the particular study (p.50).  l) What is the unit of analysis of this study?  The unit of analysis of this study is individual police officer’s opinion.  m) What was/were the sample size/s? Page 54, para.5 – “This paper is informed by data drawn from interviews conducted with 31 Canadianpolice investigators”.
