Özet

Bu makalede, kültürel ve siyasal özellikleri yönüyle oldukça özgün, suç işlenme oranının son derece düşük olduğu, çok küçük bir il olan Artvin özelinde polis-halk ilişkisi inceleme konusu yapılmakta; halkın tarihsel belleğinin, kültürel yaşantısının ve siyasal kalıplarının polisliğe olan etkisi ve polislik tarzı üzerindeki belirleyiciliği, etnografik bir bakışla irdelenmektedir. Bir anlamda, polislik yapma biçiminin, polis-halk ilişkisini belirlediği ve polise verilen desteğin buna bağlı olarak artıp eksildiği savlarına karşı çıkarak, esas etkenin daha geniş bir kültürel ve siyasal bağlama sahip olduğunu ileri sürmekte; kültürel ve yapısal teorinin ışığında, etkileşim halinde yaşanan polishalk ilişkisinde odağı, polislik tarzından kültürel ve yapısal bağlama kaydırmaktadır.
