摘要

警察在民主社會中的角色，就是警察在民主社會中被期待表現出來的活動或行為。簡言之，就是警察在民主社會中應為何事？以及如何為應為之事？文獻顯示有三種主要期待來源，分別為警察組織、法律及民意（環境）。當三種期待來源對於警察行為的期待內容愈接近，那麼決定警察應為何事？以及如何為應為之事？困難較低。也就是說，期待整合程度愈高，警察角色有關的衝突相對的就較低。本研究的目的，係透過實證途徑探究警察組織、法律及民意對於警察行為的期待內容，並分析其異同，建構本土性的警察角色定向，繼而為國內警察角色衝突的問題，提出以證據為導向的政策建言。

The role of police in a democracy is the part that the police are expected to play in a democratic society. The relevant literature shows that there are three major sources of expectations concerning what the police should do and how they should do it: the police organization, the law, and the public opinion or the environment. When expectations from the three sources are compatible, there is minimal difficulty in deciding what the police should do and how they should do it. The purpose of this study is to explore, through empirical approach, the content of expectations from the three sources. After analyzing and comparing the empirical data collected in this study, the role of the police in democratic society is clearly decided and the evidence-oriented policy advice is also provided to solve the conflicts about the role of police.
