Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Media representations, even fictional representations, of police can be vital in shaping perceptions of justice and may have implications for attitudes toward the police, public policy, and the psychological well-being of police officers. Most of the research in this area has focused on crime dramas situated in the U.S. Utilizing a content analysis of three years of 19-2 , Rookie Blue , and Motive (three popular Canadian police procedurals), in this chapter, I will explore representations of police officers in terms of expectations to solve crimes, manage trauma, and work-life balance. The discordance between what many people have learned about policing on television (TV) compared to the reality of how police officers regularly perform their jobs may frame interactions between the police and the public in stress-inducing ways. The patterns of findings will be discussed in terms of how these representations may impact public expectations of the criminal justice system and the psychological well-being of police officers.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
