重點整理:
前言
• Inspiration: loot/riot. Policy response. Backgrounds. Connection
• Phase 1: 3 months, rioters此一前階段為期三個月,主要是英國倫敦暴動的參與者
• Phase 2: next year, 未來的研究包含訪問including lawyers. Judges. Prosecutors. Court officials…
• 研究者好奇的是:如何得知暴動的發生、為什麼他們會想參加、彼此之間是如何聯絡的?
Major themes
• The aim was to examine the attitudes and experiences of the those involved in the riots.
• 歸納出五種參加暴動的動機Such as: injustice, riot motivation, police, community, the role of social media
Policing & Gang
• Dissatisfaction with the police對於英國現狀警政的不滿
• Economic opportunity for “Gang”
Inequality
• For some it’s economic, for others it’s social. 不完全是經濟因素,只有一半左右的人是失業,社會因素也很重要
• A little more than half are unemployed
Injustice and Inequality.
• Young people mention lack of opportunities, felt socially disadvantaged and peripheral.讓年輕人失去希望
Social Media
• Widespread availability of social media and mobile phone technology.社交媒體的便利性與手機的科技使用
• Some commentator raise significant concern about role of Twitter, FB and BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). 主要是社群媒體對於暴動的組織與擴散層面
• BlackBerry Messenger, Twitter and TV. 本文提出不同觀點,來看BBM、Twitter跟電視在這次暴動中不同的腳色、功能、以及重要性
BlackBerry Messenger
• The first disturbance in Tottenham on Sat.
• Efficient and Secure communication network.便宜、有效而安全,門檻相對低了許多
• While government debated whether to shut down FB and Twitter, BBM play a substantive role in the riot.持續地、而有效地散布資訊,包含沒有使用FB、Twitter的人都可以收到。
• It’s easier than FB and Twitter.
• Playing a different role, Tweets support and incite the riots.由於twitter可以放較多文字,民眾可以知道現場情況,讓暴動受到更多支持
• Several politicians suggested the network should be shut down, but the response to the tweets was overwhelming negative.
• Organise community clean-up operations集體以刪文抵抗,造成部分資料流失
TV
• 傳統媒體中,電視扮演事件的重要角色
• 100/270 referred to hearing about riot via TV.
• Somebody referred that TV news had encouraged them to get involved especially outside London.電視畫面讓民眾更有接近感,更容易投入暴動中
What’s Next 未來研究的第二階段
• Will look at the riots impact on local media, and at the criminal justice response to the disturbance.
• Community debates and discussions on local media.研究在地媒體的討論,來了解社區如何被影響
• Policing and court working.警方的訪問對象分兩部分:第一線與指揮階級。看警方內部的決策過程,以及前線如何溝通部署,來了解暴動發生時警方的動員情形。法庭的訪問則是針對當時大量的人(2000)遭到逮捕與起訴,600多人有罪,300多人遭監禁,希望透過訪談來了解當時法庭上如何處理爆量的問題,是否有特殊性。
