Unveiling the Hidden Dynamics: exploring causative factors and impact of employee turnover on organisational performance.
Authors: Bangura Samuel , Lourens M. E.
Published: March 2024

Employee turnover is a widely recognised subject in an organisational setting. Although academics and organisational human resource departments have accepted the fact that employee turnover can have a disastrous impact on the organisation, there are limited studies conducted on the causative factors and effects of employee turnover in organisations. Therefore, this study helped to highlight some of the causative factors triggering employee turnover and their impact on an organisation. In addition, the study also suggests vital strategies for mitigating and reducing employee turnover. In line with the preceding assertion, the cross-sectional qualitative study taking into consideration conference papers, government periodicals, chronological documents, and mainly secondary and primary sources were used. Online search engines such as Scopus, EBSCO, Emerald, science direct, and unrestricted web service search engines such as google scholar and Mendeley demonstrated to be valuable database resources. The finding indicated that performance appraisal feedback, job insecurity, stress and work overload, death, and compensation are significant factors responsible for employee turnover was also deduced that employee turnover can affect organisational performance through ineffectuality in the delivery of service, increase in workload, errors in work processes and reduction in sense of loyalty. However, findings also postulated that training and development, competitive benefits and compensation, effective leadership, and job satisfaction are key procedures that help in reducing and mitigating employee turnover.

В процессе исследований установлено, что в аддитивном производстве решетчатые структуры — ключевая концепция. Они встречаются в природе и часто используются в технике из-за таких свойств, как высокое отношение жесткости к плотности и пространственно-изменяющееся поведение материала. На этом фоне из материалов с реконфигурируемой структурой для 3D-моделирования обуви привлекательными представляются ауксетики, некоторые из которых построены с использованием двухмерных паттернов складывания на основе таких оригами-структур как «миура-ори» или «шаблон Рона Реша». Для проектирования подобных структур нужна определенная проектная среда. Для этого в работе рассмотрены инструменты параметрического проектирования с проектной логикой, позволяющей создавать алгоритмы объектов или процессов любой сложности. По результатам проведённого в работе анализа, выявлено, что таким требованиям в наибольшей степени отвечает среда 3D-проектирования Rhinoceros и язык визуального программирования Grasshopper. Разработанный ряд алгоритмов позволил реализовать 48 цифровых моделей реконфигурируемых поверхностей. В статье приводятся результаты физико-механических испытаний 4 из 48 моделей экспериментальных материалов. По результатам исследований 10 образцов экспериментальных материалов из фотополимера и ТПУ с 20, 50 и 100% заполнением ячеек каждого вида в форме двухсторонней лопатки толщиной 2.5–3.5 мм согласно ГОСТ Р 54553-2019 установлены: прочность при растяжении (Мпа); удлинение при разрыве (ε, %); плотность (г/см3); твердость по Шору (А). Проведенное сравнение результатов лабораторных исследований с показателями свойств материалов подошв, используемых в производстве АО «Егорьевск-обувь», позволило выявить, что показатели отдельных экспериментальных материалов близки к показателям плотности контрольной резины, подошвы ТЭП ANNA 2 (для сапог, ботинок, осень-весна), подошвы ф. JEANS — ТЭП (туфли или ботинки малодетские, девичьи, осень-весна), подошвы ТЭП туфель летних модели 322107-25, используемых на АО «Егорьевск-обувь».

Работы выполнялись в рамках научного проекта — гранта РФФИ в 2020–2022 гг., договор No20-38-90047/2020 «Параметрическое проектирование материалов с реконфигурируемой трехмерной структурой в производстве товаров народного потребления».

Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to find out how public sector case management supervision works. An online survey was conducted targeting public sector case managers, the heemang-welfare team leaders and the machum-welfare team leaders, and so on. In the survey, the supervision cycle, frequency, providers, problems, and contents related to internal and external supervision were asked. Frequency analysis, cross-analysis, T-test, and ANOVA were applied using PASW 25.0, and 750 cases were finally analyzed. Particularly we focused on the status of supervision and the differences between urban and rural areas. The analysis results are as follows. First, we found that 23% of the study participants did not receive any internal supervision, and 27.2% did not receive any external supervision. Second, in the supervision cycle, the responses to ‘1-2 times per week’ and ‘2-3 times per month’ were high for internal supervision, and ‘1-2 times per 3 months’ and ‘1-2 times per 6 months’ were high for external supervision. The internal supervision providers showed a high response to the machum-welfare team leaders and the heemang-welfare team leader. The external supervision providers showed a high response to the experienced field workers or professors. In relation to the supervision implementation system including supervision cycle, frequency, guidelines, and system, we found that rural areas should be further developed compared to urban areas. With regard to the contents of the supervision, we found that the supportive supervision was not well understood and implemented well in both urban and rural areas. Based on these results, contents and improvement strategies were suggested for the establishment of a case management supervisory system in the future.

Authors:   The Korea Academy of Case Management, Yang Jungbin , Choi Yunyoung
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study was to understand the meaning of mobility rights for people with disabilities, and explore possible environmental factors impeding their mobility accessibility. The study results will lead to discuss practical strategies to guarantee the mobility rights of the disabled. For this purpose, the qualitative data of 17 participants with disability was collected through a focus group interview method in August, 2019. Semi-structured questionnaire was used in each focus group interview session. Qualitative data transcribed was analyzed by thematic coding of meaning unit. As the results, the participants recognized the mobility rights as their essential rights to life, and as a passage to meet someone or living me, and an exit to get out from depression and loneliness in daily life. Next, environmental factors harmful to mobility rights included vulnerable condition of walking streets in the community, lack of public transportation systems and inefficient management, and communication conflicts with mobility aid workers in public sectors. Finally, the participants strongly suggested several interventions to improve the level of mobility accessibility for the disabled as follows: the improvement of walking street environment for their safety, installation of driver's license test centers tailored for the disabled in the community, expansion of sign language interpretation service, reinforcement of disability awareness improvement for mobility aid workers. Based on the study results, the researchers discussed feasible political interventions in order to ensure the disabled to move from place to place without any obstacles.

Published: March 2024

In October 2019, a policy to publicize child abuse investigations was introduced as a detailed task for the Inclusive Country Child Policy, as a part of strengthening the responsibility of local governments for the best interests of children. The policy for publicizing child abuse investigations established a shared system in which the public sector performs the entire process from child abuse investigations to follow-up and the private sector carries out case management. At this point when the national responsibility on child abuse is strengthened, this study aims to explore changes in the field after the policy and to suggest improvements. Therefore, this study conducted a qualitative study with 18 local child protection agency counselors to find out what their work experiences were after publicizing child abuse investigation policy. As a result, the experiences of counselors at local child protection agencies after the policy were analyzed in two themes. First, they were experiencing ‘transition to case management-focused institutions’ as ‘expectancy effects of publicizing child abuse investigations’. Second, ‘the emergence of new problems and the failure to resolve old tasks due to publicizing child abuse investigations’ revealed ‘limits due to collaboration in heterogeneous organizational systems’ and ‘factors hindering the transition to specialized case management institution’. The implications of the findings are discussed.
A Study on Subjective Perception Types of Experiences in Social Welfare Practice Fields after COVID-19: Focused on Q Methodology
Authors:   The Korea Academy of Case Management, Shin Hee Jung , Kim Do Hyun , Jeoung Man Ho , Lim Seung Woo
Published: March 2024

Ever since the first COVID-19 case appeared in Korea at the beginning of 2020, quarantine measures, including social distancing and prohibition on gatherings, have been implemented to prevent the spread of infection. Unfortunately, such responses have ceased or limited the provision of services for the groups relatively more reliant on public services, such as children, people with disability, and seniors. As well, these responses expose the vulnerable population to severe risks. This research aims to categorize the subjective perception based on the social workers’ experience regarding solutions to COVID-19 circumstances and explore the properties of those types. To achieve this goal, the Q-population group was established through the FGI (Focus Group Interview) of social workers on the frontlines of social welfare practices and the exploration of formative research. Then, the final 29 Q samples were selected. Finally, the data surveyed from P samples collected from 45 people was analyzed using QUANL software. The analysis result indicates that a distinctive approach depending on the type is in need rather than uniform social welfare practices. From the analysis, four types of perception have been identified. The first type is “an emphasis on social welfare practice based on local community networks,” highlighting the importance of a collaborative network between private and public sectors to actualize on-site centralized services around local beneficiaries. The second type is “focusing on inequality,” emphasizing tailored services for vulnerable population groups. The third type is “recognizing the structural shifts in social welfare due to emerging changes.” which asserts that the need for new welfare services is not because of COVID-19 but caused by social welfare environment structure issues. Lastly, the fourth type is “recognizing the social welfare practice following the societal disasters,” highlighting the necessity of expanding the scope of social welfare properties and the changes in measures to cope with the issues rather than focusing on the contraction of social welfare. Based on the result of this research, implications have been discussed to understand the distinction between each type of perception and seek countermeasures on the frontlines of social welfare practices.

Published: March 2024

This study has two purposes: One is to explore the experiences of public guardians in conducting their roles for the developmental disabilities in residential welfare facilities. The other is to define how the professional values and philosophies of the guardianship are translated and realized to its service beneficiaries. Adopting a qualitative research method, it took depth interviews of 8 guardians and finally extracted 2 categories, 5 sub-categories and 15 definitions. The first category is named of‘ helping the wards of guardians realize their rights in the arena of a residential facility’, which consists of three following sub-categories such as ‘the additional role of an emotional and material supporter on the top of the original one as a guardian’, ‘the role of helping the wards realize their individual life in the standardized and patterned surroundings of the facilities’, and ‘staying balanced between the roles of a wards’ protector and an advocator of their rights’. The other category is named of ‘consolidating the guardians’ legal power by defining their identical roles and establishing a sound relationship with other personnel’, which consists of two following sub-categories such as ‘constructive power competition between the guardians and other personnel’in the facilities and ‘settling in each side of them acknowledging other’s position and roles via the processes of conflicts and compromises’. Based on the findings, the study suggests how the activities of the guardians could assure the rights of the developmental disabilities and to what direction the disability welfare system of Korea should be directed.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to suggest the improvement method of day activity service for people with developmental disabilities on based on the step-by-step procedures and contents of case management practices. The content of the analysis were analyzed by applying the case management practice process suggested by Sungcheon Kim et al. to the day activity service benefit provision procedure of the Ministry of Health and Welfare's guidebook on day activity service for people with developmental disabilities and the guidebook for day activity service support for people with developmental disabilities of the Central Child and Developmental Disability Support Center. As a result of the analysis, first, there were differences in target discovery and counseling in the initial stage. Second, there were differences in the assessment of the client's strengths, resources, and obstacles in the assessment stage. Third, there were differences in whether specific goals were set and in the perception of community resources. Fourth, in the implementation and inspection stages, there were differences in the presence or absence of direct practice services for families. Fifth, in the termination stage, a difference could be seen in the implementation of follow-up management. Based on these results, improvements were proposed for the procedures and contents of the day service for people with developmental disabilities.

Authors:   The Korea Academy of Case Management, Jae Michelle Garam , Chung Sulki
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of problematic alcohol use in the relationship between the level of satisfaction of familial relationships and quality of life amongst the older adults in Korea. The study sample included 4,814 participants who were selected from the 14th Korea Welfare Panel Survey. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis verified the mediating role of problematic alcohol use between family relationships satisfaction and quality of life among the older adults population in Korea. In other words, the quality of life among family members can have a direct impact on the quality of life among the elderly, but problematic alcohol use can also have a mediating impact between the two variables. Therefore, there are some important implications for social workers and other related healthcare professionals to consider in their practice, including educating and guiding our elderly people to healthier coping mechanisms as well as developing healthier family relationships. Further implications and limitations were discussed.

Authors:   The Korea Academy of Case Management, Bea Na Rea
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine how middle-aged people’s resentment, class consciousness, and subjective health affect their happiness, life satisfaction, and meaning of life, and at the same time, to determine whether volunteering and donation activities have a mediating effect in this relationship. This is to take a look at. A structural model analysis was conducted to identify causal relationships between the major variables set in this study, and the results of the analysis are as follows. The results of the analysis showed that middle-aged resentment had a significant negative effect on life satisfaction and meaning of life, but had a positive effect on volunteer activities and donation activities. In other words, the higher the level of resentment among middle-aged people, the lower the satisfaction and meaning of life, but the increased volunteer and donation activities. Next, class consciousness was found to have a significant negative effect on life satisfaction, meaning of life, volunteer activities, and donation activities. This means that as the class consciousness of middle-aged people increases, life satisfaction, meaning of life, volunteer activities, and donation activities also increase. Subjective health had a significant negative effect on life satisfaction, meaning of life, and donation activities, but did not appear to have an effect on volunteer activities. Considering that the higher the subjective health score, the more negatively one perceives one’s own health status, the worse one’s subjective health status is in middle age, the lower the satisfaction with life, the meaning of life, and donation activity. do. Lastly, volunteer activities were found to have a positive effect on life satisfaction but not on the meaning of life. This means that the more volunteer activities one does in middle age, the more life satisfaction increases. In addition, donation activities were found to have a positive effect on both life satisfaction and meaning of life. This means that as middle-aged people engage in more donation activities, their life satisfaction and meaning in life also increase.

Published: March 2024

Objectives: To assess the results and risks of dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) operations on patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction while taking into account variables like gender distribution, side involvement, anesthesia type, and long-term follow-up.  Methodology This study involved the prospective enrollment of 23 patients, all of whom gave their guardians' informed consent. Many DCR procedures were carried out, most of which were left-sided. A silicon tube was used in certain circumstances, and it was taken out after three months. Either local or general anesthesia was used, and all patients were monitored for six months following surgery in order to evaluate the results of the procedure and any problems. We extensively recorded and analyzed the gender distribution, side involvement, type of anesthesia, success rates, and complications.  Results 39% of the 23 patients who were part in the study were female, and 61% of them were male. 69.56% of DCR procedures were carried out on the left side. DCR procedures had an 88.9% success rate, with 21 out of 23 patients being successful. There were two cases of epistaxis, eleven cases of emphysema, and one case of canalicular injury among the observed complications. There were no reports of granuloma development or tube extrusion. Seven patients underwent surgery under local anesthesia, while sixteen underwent general anesthesia.  Conclusion DCR has a good success rate and a low frequency of complications when treating nasolacrimal duct occlusion. The findings highlight how crucial it is to carefully evaluate variables like the kind of anesthesia and the application of supplemental tools like silicon tubes in order to maximize surgical outcomes. For patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction, DCR appears to be a safe and effective therapeutic option with encouraging outcomes. Larger sample numbers and longer-term follow- up are necessary for validation of these results and investigation of other factors impacting surgical outcomes.

Boundary Value Problems for Dirac Operators on Graphs
Authors:   Universit&, Richtsfeld Alberto ,   #228,   t Potsdam, Germany
Published: March 2024

We carry the index theory for manifolds with boundary of Bär and Ballmann over to first order differential operators on metric graphs. This approach results in a short proof for the index of such operators. Then the self-adjoint extensions and the spectrum of the Dirac operator on the complex line bundle are studied. We also introduce two types of boundary conditions for the Dirac operator, whose spectrum encodes information of the underlying topology of the graph.
Spectroscopic Confirmation of Obscured AGN Populations from Unsupervised Machine Learning
Authors: Hviding Raphael E. , Hainline Kevin N. , Goulding Andy D. , Greene Jenny E.
Published: March 2024

We present the result of a spectroscopic campaign targeting active galactic nucleus (AGN) candidates selected using a novel unsupervised machine-learning (ML) algorithm trained on optical and mid-infrared photometry. AGN candidates are chosen without incorporating prior AGN selection criteria and are fainter, redder, and more numerous, ∼340 AGN deg−2, than comparable photometric and spectroscopic samples. In this work, we obtain 178 rest-optical spectra from two candidate ML-identified AGN classes with the Hectospec spectrograph on the MMT Observatory. We find that our first ML-identified group is dominated by Type I AGNs (85%) with a <3% contamination rate from non-AGNs. Our second ML-identified group is mostly comprised of Type II AGNs (65%), with a moderate contamination rate of 15% primarily from star-forming galaxies. Our spectroscopic analyses suggest that the classes recover more obscured AGNs, confirming that ML techniques are effective at recovering large populations of AGNs at high levels of extinction. We demonstrate the efficacy of pairing existing WISE data with large-area and deep optical/near-infrared photometric surveys to select large populations of AGNs and recover obscured growth of supermassive black holes. This approach is well suited to upcoming photometric surveys, such as Euclid, Rubin, and Roman.

Spectra of young benchmark brown dwarfs with well-known ages are vital to characterize other brown dwarfs, for which ages are in general not known. These spectra are also crucial to test atmospheric models, which have the potential to provide detailed information about the atmospheres of these objects. However, to test atmospheric models optimally, medium-resolution, long-wavelength-coverage spectra with well-understood uncertainties are ideal, such as the spectra provided by the NIRSpec instrument on board the James Webb Space Telescope. In this paper, we present medium-resolution JWST/NIRSpec spectra of two young brown dwarfs, TWA 28 (M9.0) and TWA 27A (M9.0), and one planetary-mass object, TWA 27B (L6.0), members of the TW Hydrae Association (age ∼ 10 Myr). We show the richness of the atomic lines and molecular bands present in the spectra. All objects show signs of a circumstellar disk, via a near-infrared excess and/or via emission lines. We matched a set of cloudless atmospheric spectra (ATMO), and cloudy atmospheric spectra (BT-Settl) to our NIRSpec spectra, and analyzed which wavelength ranges and spectral features both models reproduce best. Both models derive consistent parameters for the three sources, and predict the existence of CH4 at 3.35 μm in TWA 27B. Nonetheless, in contrast to other slightly older objects with similar spectral type, like PSO 318.5–22 and VHS 1256b, this feature is not present in the spectrum of TWA 27B. The lack of the CH4 feature might suggest that the L–T transition of very young dwarfs starts at later spectral types than for older brown dwarfs.
The Effect of Fast Solar Wind on Ion Distribution Downstream of Earth’s Bow Shock

The solar wind gets thermalized and compressed when crossing a planetary bow shock, forming the magnetosheath. The angle between the upstream magnetic field and the shock normal vector separates the quasi-parallel from the quasi-perpendicular magnetosheath, significantly influencing the physical conditions in these regions. A reliable classification between both magnetosheath regions is of utmost importance since different phenomena and physical processes take place on each. The complexity of this classification is increased due to the origin and variability of the solar wind. Using measurements from the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms mission and OMNI data between 2008 and 2023, we demonstrate the importance of magnetosheath classification across various solar wind plasma origins. We focus on investigating the ion energy fluxes in the high-energy range for each solar wind type, which typically serves as an indicator for foreshock activity and thus separating the quasi-parallel from quasi-perpendicular magnetosheath. Dividing the data set into different regimes reveals that fast solar wind plasma originating from coronal holes causes exceptionally high-energy ion fluxes even in the quasi-perpendicular environment. This stands in stark contrast to all other solar wind types, highlighting that magnetosheath classification is inherently biased if not all types of solar wind are considered in the classification. Combining knowledge of solar wind origins and structures with shock and magnetosheath research thus contributes to an improved magnetosheath characterization. This is particularly valuable in big-data machine-learning applications within heliophysics, which requires clean and verified data sets for optimal performance.
TESTING OPTICAL SPECTRAL INDICES FOR ASSESSMENT OF SURFACE CHANGES DUE TO PERMAFROST MELTING ON LIVINGSTON ISLAND, ANTARCTICA
Authors: Yanakieva Nadya , Avetisyan Daniela
Published: March 2024

The present study aims to examine the potential of optical satellite data and spectral indices to assess surface changes induced by permafrost melting. Surface changes related to permafrost melting on Livingston Island, Antarctica were examined using optical satellite data from Sentinel-2 sensors of the European Space Agency (ESA). The study area coincides with previous field studies by electrical resistivity tomographic profiles made to establish and visualize the presence of permafrost. Utilizing the advantages of remote sensing methods and calculation of optical indices, it was tracked whether and to what extent there was a surface change and melting of the permafrost in the study area. The observation period encompasses the astral summer seasons from 2016 to 2023. The results show that the combination of different optical indices gives a better understanding of changes in the terrain. The combined use of the Normalized Difference Glacier Index (NDGI), Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI), Normalized Difference Snow and Ice Index (NDSII), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and Moisture Stress Index (MSI) indicates for a pronounced trend of melting of the active layer of the permafrost periglacial area of research in March 2016 and 2017, and from January to mid of March 2023.
Towards integrating and harmonising information on plant invasions across Australia

Terminology for the invasion status of alien species has typically relied either on ecological- or policy-based criteria, with the former emphasising species’ ability to overcome ecological barriers and the latter on species’ impacts. There remains no universal consensus about definitions of invasion. Without an agreement on definitions, it is difficult to combine data that comes from a range of sources. In Australia, information on plant invasions is provided by a collection of independent jurisdictions. This has led to inconsistencies in terminology used to describe species invasion status at the national level, impeding efficient management. In this paper, we review and discuss the steps taken to harmonise the different terminologies used across Australia’s states and territories. We identified mismatches in definitions and records of invasion status for vascular plant taxa across different jurisdictions and propose prioritisation procedures to tackle these mismatches and to integrate information into a harmonised workflow at the national scale. This integration has made possible the creation of a standardised dataset at the Australian national scale (the Alien Flora of Australia). In Australia, having an integrated workflow for referring to and monitoring alien flora will aid early warning and prevent species introduction, facilitate decision-making and aid biosecurity measures.
Retours sur les réceptions américaine et française de The Whole World is Watching [Note liminaire au texte de Todd Gitlin]
Authors: Gousset Cyriac , Benson Rodney
Published: March 2024

Cette note liminaire revient sur l’apport de The Whole World is Watching de Todd Gitlin et analyse les réceptions qui en ont été faites aux États-Unis comme en France. Cet ouvrage, encore inédit en français, a fortement contribué aux recherches sur les rapports entre les médias et les mouvements sociaux et, plus généralement, sur « l’emprise » de la communication. Par sa mise en perspective, cet avant-propos invite les lecteurs à se saisir, et à mettre au travail, les catégories analytiques développées par Todd Gitlin dans son étude sur les relations entre le Student for a Democratic Society – la principale organisation étudiante nationale de la gauche radicale états-unienne de ce que l’on a appelé la New Left – et les médias dans les années 1960. Les schèmes mobilisés pour rendre compte de ces relations restent d’une grande pertinence pour analyser les relations entre les médias et les mouvements sociaux contemporains.
The Whole World is Watching : introduction
Authors: Gitlin Todd
Published: March 2024

The Whole World is Watching de Todd Gitlin est un de ces textes fondamentaux de la sociologie américaine qui n’ont jamais été traduits en français. La traduction inédite de l’introduction de cet ouvrage, portant sur les relations entre le Student for a Democratic Society (SDS) – principale organisation étudiante nationale de la gauche radicale états-unienne qu’on a appelé la New Left – et les médias dans les années 1960, invite à (re)découvrir ce classique publié initialement en 1980. Le sociologue américain, qui a pris part au mouvement qu’il étudie, livre une analyse de la façon dont les médias ont couvert ce mouvement de la New Left dans les années 1960 et interroge ce que cette couverture médiatique a fait à la New Left et ce que la New Left a fait de celle-ci. Ce faisant, Todd Gitlin a été l’un des premiers sociologues des médias à adopter le concept de « cadre » d’Erving Goffman en l’appliquant aux pratiques journalistiques en lien avec le contenu des informations.
Ce que dit la police
Authors: Le Saulnier Guillaume
Published: March 2024

Cet article se concentre sur la communication de la police nationale, et plus précisément sur le discours institutionnel tel qu’il se matérialise via les relations presse. Il examine les conditions et les opérations par lesquelles la police est donnée ou se donne à voir, au prisme de l’actualité. D’une part, il se fonde sur une enquête ethnographique au sein du Service d’information et de communication de la police (Sicop). L’institutionnalisation et la professionnalisation de la communication s’accélèrent nettement à partir des années 2000, de sorte que le Sicop s’impose désormais comme un acteur et une source de premier plan dans la fabrication de l’information policière. D’autre part, l’article mobilise une analyse statistique descriptive de l’ensemble des relations presse orchestrées par le Sicop au premier semestre 2010, à partir d’une base de données logicielle interne. Le travail de publicisation auprès des médias d’information réalise la congruence entre les priorités politiques du ministre de l’Intérieur et les hiérarchies internes à la profession policière. La communication de l’institution articule ainsi, étroitement, la légitimation de la force publique, l’affirmation de sa professionnalité, ainsi que la construction symbolique des « illégalismes » qui menacent l’ordre social.
