BBC 17/5/2020 News Object Not Agent: Reflexivity and Violence in Police Research The feminist criminological research process has focused on minimizing power imbalances between the researcher and the researched. Generally, this has meant adjusting an imbalance that assumes the researcher holds an absolute monopoly on power. According to feminist methodologies seeking to redress this, steps must then be taken to elevate the research subject in the relationship between researcher and researched. Gender alone, however, does not provide a sufficiently sophisticated lens through which to analyze power dynamics in ethnographic research. Both structural and situational factors will play a role in the researcher’s reception. In this article, I aim to move beyond the debate of whether a researcher causes harm. Instead, it is a manner of degrees. Drawing on my experiences from an ethnographic study of police, I argue that if the field of criminology better facilitates reflexive methods and allows the researcher to reflect on how her own background may bias her conclusions, we may minimize this harm to some degree.

Australian police officers participated in a 4-week training program that focused on the dynamics of sexual offending. Officers completed questionnaires before, immediately after, and 9 to 12 months following training. They were presented with scenarios involving adult and child complainants with varying levels of evidence (strong, weak, or ambiguous) and rated their confidence that the case would be approved for prosecution, the likelihood of a guilty verdict, and the level of responsibility attributed to the victim. Following training, investigators became more confident in case approvals and guilty verdicts, less likely to attribute responsibility to victims, and demonstrated better understanding of sexual offense dynamics. Ratings of victim responsibility and guilty verdicts were maintained 9 to 12 months post-training; however, confidence in case approvals decreased after working in the field. Implications for police training programs are discussed.
