“Suçsuz yere polislik”: Artvin‟de polis-halk ilişkisi üzerine etnografik bir inceleme

Bu makalede, kültürel ve siyasal özellikleri yönüyle oldukça özgün, suç işlenme oranının son derece düşük olduğu, çok küçük bir il olan Artvin özelinde polis-halk ilişkisi inceleme konusu yapılmakta; halkın tarihsel belleğinin, kültürel yaşantısının ve siyasal kalıplarının polisliğe olan etkisi ve polislik tarzı üzerindeki belirleyiciliği, etnografik bir bakışla irdelenmektedir. Bir anlamda, polislik yapma biçiminin, polis-halk ilişkisini belirlediği ve polise verilen desteğin buna bağlı olarak artıp eksildiği savlarına karşı çıkarak, esas etkenin daha geniş bir kültürel ve siyasal bağlama sahip olduğunu ileri sürmekte; kültürel ve yapısal teorinin ışığında, etkileşim halinde yaşanan polishalk ilişkisinde odağı, polislik tarzından kültürel ve yapısal bağlama kaydırmaktadır.

“Innocently policing”: An ethnographic analysis ofrelationship in artvin thepolice-public

Abstract: This article seeks to investigate the police-public relation in Artvin, a very small city at the Northeastern part of Turkey with a very low statistics of criminal incidents and a unique culture. To this end, the social memory of the public and the impact of the political and cultural aspects of the public on the policing style is attempted to be scrutinized. In a sense, the study challenges the prevalent argument that policing style is the main determinant of the police-public relations, and argues, in line with the structural/political theory, that the political and cultural context should be comprehended in order to understand the police-public relationship.
