An analysis of the occurrence book entries from a police station in urban Belfast, and from a rural area of Northern Ireland are presented.
Abstract
Both areas are subject to high levels of civil unrest. A considerable service element is identified in the range of entries from both urban and rural areas. Analysis of the sources of entries revealed a high level of public involvement in reporting incidents, etc. The data are discussed in terms of the development of a descriptive analysis of policing.
