When conflicts between youths and police officers broke out at so-called \u2018hotspots\u2019 in 2021 and 2022, they often were discussed in the context of migration or in reference to racist police practices. <\/p>\n\n\n<jgu-base-image react-props=\"{\n    &quot;align&quot;: &quot;left&quot;,\n    &quot;image&quot;: {\n        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/PolicingKategoriesierung01.jpg&quot;,\n        &quot;id&quot;: 16613,\n        &quot;credit&quot;: &quot;Foto: Ramona Huber&quot;,\n        &quot;title&quot;: &quot;PolicingKategoriesierung01&quot;,\n        &quot;width&quot;: 1814,\n        &quot;height&quot;: 1228,\n        &quot;srcset&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/PolicingKategoriesierung01.jpg 1814w, https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/PolicingKategoriesierung01-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/PolicingKategoriesierung01-1024x693.jpg 1024w, https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/PolicingKategoriesierung01-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/PolicingKategoriesierung01-1536x1040.jpg 1536w&quot;\n    },\n    &quot;width&quot;: 353,\n    &quot;hasLightbox&quot;: false,\n    &quot;caption&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n    &quot;imgWidth&quot;: 0,\n    &quot;link&quot;: {\n        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n        &quot;target&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n        &quot;rel&quot;: &quot;&quot;\n    }\n}\" class=\"align-left\">\n    \n<\/jgu-base-image>\n\n\n<p>Continuing the project <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifeas.uni-mainz.de\/forschung\/polizei-translationen\/\">&#8220;Police Translations&#8221;<\/a>, this project will study how actors reciprocally categorise each other during everyday policing and how these categories affect practices. With this approach, the project will engage with and expand on public and scholarly discourse by focussing on not only the police but also the municipal public order offices (Ordnungsamt), private security organisations, businesspeople, residents and the youths themselves as powerful actors, all of whom are engaged either in policing or in attempts to resist policing. Moreover, the research approach does not presuppose which categories of difference are most relevant. While actors certainly culturalise, ethnicise or racialise each other in these interactions, they also ascribe age, class, deviancy, gender, legal classifications, regional descent, religion, speech proficiency and other categories. The latter set of implicit factors has as much impact on practices as the former, and both are inextricably linked.   <\/p>\n\n\n<jgu-base-image react-props=\"{\n    &quot;align&quot;: &quot;right&quot;,\n    &quot;image&quot;: {\n        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Policingakteure-im-Stadion.jpg&quot;,\n        &quot;id&quot;: 16634,\n        &quot;title&quot;: &quot;Policingakteure im Stadion&quot;,\n        &quot;width&quot;: 1166,\n        &quot;height&quot;: 656,\n        &quot;srcset&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Policingakteure-im-Stadion.jpg 1166w, https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Policingakteure-im-Stadion-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Policingakteure-im-Stadion-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/fb07-ifeas\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/396\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Policingakteure-im-Stadion-768x432.jpg 768w&quot;\n    },\n    &quot;width&quot;: 707,\n    &quot;hasLightbox&quot;: false,\n    &quot;caption&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n    &quot;imgWidth&quot;: 0,\n    &quot;link&quot;: {\n        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n        &quot;target&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n        &quot;rel&quot;: &quot;&quot;\n    }\n}\" class=\"align-right\">\n    \n<\/jgu-base-image>\n\n\n<p>The research design operationalises these approaches through ethnographic research in two \u2018hotspots\u2019 \u2013 designated as such by actors and the media \u2013 in the Rhine-Main area. Among the hotspots are also football matches, where mutual categorisation practices and the conflict-ridden relationship between football fans and police forces will be at the center of ethnographic research. The fieldwork will involve actor groups who are clearly delineated, mistrust each other and have asymmetric power relations. Therefore, the study will be done by a team in which each researcher is the participant observer of her\/his respective group. By further developing this collaborative ethnographic approach, the project also will advance the methodological toolbox of social anthropology.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Policing as a practice of categorisation\u2019 aims to innovatively study a topic intensely discussed by the public and academia, thereby contributing to research on the police, security, the state, migration and racism. The project has the potential to develop \u2013 or \u2018anthropologise\u2019 \u2013 these fields of research by relying on concepts that originate in research in the Global South; by incorporating an ethnographic sensibility that interprets practices in context, emic terminologies and multiperspectivity; and by assuming a non-normative position of epistemilogical equistance that does not attempt to resolve contradictions but rather identifies them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Publications<em>(selection, including previous project Police-Translations; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifeas.uni-mainz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/396\/2025\/04\/Veroeffentlichungen-Policing-als-Kategorisierungspraxis-23_07.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complete list as PDF<\/a><\/em>)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>2024 M\u00fcller, Marcel. <em>Der Umgang mit Differenz in der Polizeiarbeit: Eine auto-ethnografische Untersuchung<\/em>.

When conflicts between youths and police officers broke out at so-called \u2018hotspots\u2019 in 2021 and 2022, they often were discussed in the context of migration or in reference to racist police practices. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:jgu\/image {\"align\":\"left\",\"image\":{\"url\":null,\"id\":16613,\"credit\":\"Foto: Ramona Huber\"},\"width\":353} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p>Continuing the project <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifeas.uni-mainz.de\/forschung\/polizei-translationen\/\">\"Police Translations\"<\/a>, this project will study how actors reciprocally categorise each other during everyday policing and how these categories affect practices. With this approach, the project will engage with and expand on public and scholarly discourse by focussing on not only the police but also the municipal public order offices (Ordnungsamt), private security organisations, businesspeople, residents and the youths themselves as powerful actors, all of whom are engaged either in policing or in attempts to resist policing. Moreover, the research approach does not presuppose which categories of difference are most relevant. While actors certainly culturalise, ethnicise or racialise each other in these interactions, they also ascribe age, class, deviancy, gender, legal classifications, regional descent, religion, speech proficiency and other categories. The latter set of implicit factors has as much impact on practices as the former, and both are inextricably linked.   <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:jgu\/image {\"align\":\"right\",\"image\":{\"url\":null,\"id\":16634},\"width\":707} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p>The research design operationalises these approaches through ethnographic research in two \u2018hotspots\u2019 \u2013 designated as such by actors and the media \u2013 in the Rhine-Main area. Among the hotspots are also football matches, where mutual categorisation practices and the conflict-ridden relationship between football fans and police forces will be at the center of ethnographic research. The fieldwork will involve actor groups who are clearly delineated, mistrust each other and have asymmetric power relations. Therefore, the study will be done by a team in which each researcher is the participant observer of her\/his respective group. By further developing this collaborative ethnographic approach, the project also will advance the methodological toolbox of social anthropology.   <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p>\u2018Policing as a practice of categorisation\u2019 aims to innovatively study a topic intensely discussed by the public and academia, thereby contributing to research on the police, security, the state, migration and racism. The project has the potential to develop \u2013 or \u2018anthropologise\u2019 \u2013 these fields of research by relying on concepts that originate in research in the Global South; by incorporating an ethnographic sensibility that interprets practices in context, emic terminologies and multiperspectivity; and by assuming a non-normative position of epistemilogical equistance that does not attempt to resolve contradictions but rather identifies them. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table {\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Publications<em>(selection, including previous project Police-Translations; <a href=\"https:\/\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\/fb07-ifeas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/396\/2025\/04\/Veroeffentlichungen-Policing-als-Kategorisierungspraxis-23_07.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complete list as PDF<\/a><\/em>)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>2024 M\u00fcller, Marcel. <em>Der Umgang mit Differenz in der Polizeiarbeit: Eine auto-ethnografische Untersuchung<\/em>.
