“…However, we should note that this can have both positive and negative consequences: Although closeness to the field may provide inside knowledge and potentially generate research that is useful to the police, it also involves the risk of losing the important critical perspective that an outside researcher can provide (Holmberg, 2014a). Hartmann, Hestehave, Høgh, and Rønn (2018) contest this and claim that embeddedness does not necessarily lead to entanglement. On the contrary, the rich knowledge gained from police research from within may be exactly what is needed to achieve critical research.…”

In this paper, I describe widely used methods in Scandinavian police research, discuss strengths and weaknesses and suggest methods for future police research. Thick, in-depth descriptions and closeness to the field are strengths in today's police research, whereas vulnerability to the Hawthorne effect, the lack of representativeness and limited possibilities for causal claims are weaknesses. I suggest new methods for improving police research: natural variation designs, vignette studies and field experiments. In addition, extended use of an existing data source, register data, is discussed. Examples are given from police research and connected research fields, including research on other professions. Greater methodological variation can address new questions in future police research and widen the horizons of Scandinavian police research. Especially, new methods and data can improve the possibilities for making causal claim and improve the external validity.

“…Vår naerhet til feltet kan også ha andre potensielle styrker og svakheter. En svakhet kan vaere risikoen for å miste det kritiske perspektivet som en ekstern forsker kan gi, mens en styrke kan vaere at den rike kunnskapen om politiet og fra politiforskningen, tvert imot kan vaere det som skal til for å oppnå kritisk forskning (se Holmberg, 2014;Hartmann, Hestehave, Høgh & Rønn, 2018).…”

“…The other possibility is trying to change public opinion and, by that, put political pressure on the police organisation from 'without' . Hartmann, Hestehave, Høgh, and Rønn (2018) have argued that it might be 'naïve to believe that going public with your critique and ideas about what needs to be changed in the police organisation will necessarily be helpful in pushing research conclusions and recommendation through' (p. 20). Instead, they argue for an 'embedded police research' that seeks to 'contribute actively to changes of policing, by taking on the role of cultivators and educators in empowering and enabling knowledgeable policing from within the organization' (Hartmann et al, 2018, p. 9).…”

Research on the police force has typically been occupied with seeking out commonalities between police officers rather than differences. This has amounted to a vast volume of literature on the shared occupational culture of police officers that has pointed to several problematic aspects of policing. However, in this paper, I argue for the value of studying individual police officers who are doing things differently from their colleagues as a method for actually engaging with these problematic aspects. To demonstrate the viability of this methodological approach to police research, I draw on an encounter with a particular police officer from my own empirical work. I argue that conducting case studies of such police officers and describing their practices and attitudes can be a valuable contribution to the development of better and more socially just policing. These case studies of how things can be done differently can aid in imagining new and better police practices.
