| Abstract | In dem Artikel werden die methodologischen, methodischen und die gegenstandsbezogenen Prämissen einer empirischen Polizeiforschung, die Ausdruck der Perspektive einer hermeneutischen Wissenssoziologie sind, vorgestellt und diskutiert. Dabei wird eingangs dargestellt und erörtert, weshalb und wie welche Daten zu erheben und auszuwerten sind. Im Anschluss daran wird am Beispiel der im Feld der Kriminalpolizei kursierenden 'mythologischen Erzählungen' gezeigt, auf welches Handlungsproblem solche Geschichten eine Antwort sind. Eine solche empirisch verfahrende Polizeiforschung hat die Institution 'Polizei' und deren Arbeit zum Gegenstand oder anders: sie untersucht die polizeiliche Handlungslogik, folgt ihr aber nicht, sie untersucht das Geschäft der Polizei, betreibt es aber nicht selber. In this article I introduce and discuss the methodological, methodical, and object-related premises of a hermeneutical sociology of knowledge on which empirical police-research should be based. In the first part, it will be shown why and how what data has to be collected and analyzed. With the example of 'mythological stories' which are a given in the field of police-research, it will be demonstrated how these stories provide 'solution' to a specific 'problem' of social action. The subject of research is the police institution as well as the work embedded in this institution - or, stated differently: This kind of empirical police-research, on the one hand, analyzes the logic of action within this institution, but does not follow the same logic, and, on the other hand, it analyzes the police work, but does not pursue it. |
