There are growing calls for Higher Education Institutions to become more civically engaged and socially revelvant in their local regions. The central aim of the Communities and Students Together (CaST) project has been to advance our knowledge and understanding of the myriad forms of Engaged Learning and to develop a deeper understanding of engagem...

This chapter is titled as such because the initial step in understanding the organisation’s culture, and thus the Gardaís’ journey through the organisation, requires an understanding of how the organisation treats its members; this is seen by what organisational resources are provided to the Gardaí. The beginning of this chapter first looks at who...

The story of this research culminates here. Everything leading up to this point is no less part of the organisation’s culture but would not exist and/or function in the same way without a blame culture. The blame culture as part of the Garda culture was perhaps the single most infiltrating trait that spanned throughout the observation period. This...

This research has been a substantial, yet still only cursory, step to contributing to more fully understanding Irish police organisational culture. Whilst this in its own right is a contribution, it goes beyond this relatively small area of the field to contribute to a wider understanding of police culture internationally and where Ireland finds it...

To truly comprehend what type of organisation the Garda is, it is also important to understand the context of the current organisation from its historical roots. The data analysed for the current research is an exploration of the organisation’s culture in the last 30 years, but to situate the findings in a way that acknowledges both social and hist...

The previous chapters were impactful in their own right but have also set the stage for what is to come; the organisations valuation of a culture that uses blame as a first, last, and sometimes only resort of accountability, as well as an overall lack of accountability across and throughout the organisation. Despite being labelled as accountability...

If culture is in part responsible for creating this distinction between officers and the public, and the Garda is known to have a very strong culture that has been in place for almost a century, which was discussed in Chapter 2, the natural conclusion would then be that there is also a strong division between the Gardaí and the public. However, how...

The sense of alienation within the organisation’s culture is present on two fronts and can be divided by the general directions in which the alienation is directed from the Gardaí perspective, internally and externally. The combination of these two facets of the organisation leads to a unique position of street-level Gardaí being precariously doubl...

Cited in his review of O’Brien-Olinger’s, (2016) book, Manning perfectly encompassed the essence of Irish policing: unique, yet much is unknown. Some years later, the landscape of Irish policing research has changed very little. Enter: Irish Policing: Culture, Challenges, and Change in An Garda Síochána. This book contains a more nuanced understand...

The CaST project, supported by the EU’s ERAMUS+ Programme, includes partners in six European countries: Belgium, Finland, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. The views expressed are purely the authors’ own and do not reflect the views of the European Commission. Engaged Learning enables students to apply theory to a context outside of the...

We aim to push forward the agenda of the University as a part of an ecosystem of knowledge production addressing public problem-solving. With this framework in mind, addressing the concept of Engaged Learning at an early stage (such as the PhD level) has been thought most prudent in pushing forward this agenda. Though of course not every PhD resear...

Master’s Degree in Equality and Gender: The main impact is seen in the reciprocal benefits to all partners and this is best seen in the focus of the workshops and activities organised. Their main purpose is to strengthen the immigrant women’s social and work skills to help them in their process of labour insertion. Women work on vital concepts such...

Globally, there are growing calls for Higher Education Institutions to become more civically engaged and socially relevant while increasing public interest in the impact of universities on their localities and regions. Engaged Learning facilitates students to apply theory to real-world contexts outside of the University and to co-produce knowledge...

In this state of the art review, we explore the concept of Engaged Learning, and the development of this pedagogy globally, with a specific focus on each of the CaST Partner Countries of Belgium, Finland, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. We define Engaged Learning as the process where students apply the theory learned at Higher Educati...

Police organizations are historically and predominantly male organizations; as such, the purpose of this study is to examine the role of women in Irish policing. The literature review will analyze gender-specific organizational literature, focused on the United States. Theoretical components include biological determination and social constructivis...
