De plus, des dimensions de ce tissage de relations peu formalisées et souvent personnalisées apparaissent aussi à l’œuvre dans d'autres villes comme l'indiquent des recherches récentes réalisées à Toronto (LeMoine ), à Washington (Simpson ), à Paris (Cefaï ) ou encore dans différentes municipalités de l’État de Victoria en Australie (Grace, Coventry, et Batterham ).…”

Sommaire Des praticiens de première ligne réalisent parfois une coordination en tentant d'aider des sans‐abri montréalais. Souvent de nature interorganisationnelle et intersectorielle, elle repose sur un travail relationnel multidirectionnel et multidimensionnel qui ne va pas de soi. Cet article vise à enrichir la compréhension de cette coordination qui peut se produire pendant les relations quotidiennes, en misant sur une approche interactionniste ainsi que sur les perspectives de ces praticiens. Il expose trois de ces dernières (l'ouverture et l'engagement, le réseautage et la procédure). Cela peut éclairer la dynamique relationnelle des réseaux émergents auxquels ils participent.

“…Burris et al , 2010; Golemski and Fullilove, 2005; Maher and Dixon, 1999). This interaction has been examined in social problems such as mental health (Geller et al , 2014; Morabito et al , 2012; Simpson, 2015; Herrington, 2012; Watson et al , 2008), illicit drugs (Maher and Dixon, 1999) and violence (National Health Service, 2012) among others. In practice, new public health demands are constantly placed on police organizations, which are gradually becoming interventionists on a public health continuum, whether they fine a person for public drunkenness, interact with a mentally ill person (with or without medical personnel at the scene) or pick up a dead body after a drug overdose (Bartkowiak-Théron and Asquith, 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential benefits as well as some of the practical barriers to the implementation of a collective impact initiative in law enforcement and public health (LEPH) in Tasmania, Australia. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on a review of programs, agencies and initiatives that are at the intersection of LEPH in Tasmania, through an analysis of the findings in evaluation reports, and the views of practitioners identified at a workshop on LEPH held at a national AOD conference and facilitated by the authors. Findings The strengths of collective impact initiatives, particularly in LEPH, are presented and some weaknesses identified. Some major obstacles to the consolidation of LEPH initiatives include siloed ways of working and budgets, lack of leadership and political will. Some progress has been made in addressing these weaknesses, although addressing complex social problems by moving beyond inter-agency collaboration toward an integrated model of service provision remains challenging. Practical implications The authors argue that there are practical benefits to the adoption of a collective impact model to address problems in Tasmania that lie at the nexus between LEPH. In reviewing existing collaborations, the authors demonstrate the value of a structural mapping process to identify ways forward for government and non-government agencies that are inclined to go further in merging the two disciplinary areas. The authors offer some suggestions with respect to identifying the preconditions for a collective impact model and how to build on these to initiate action. Originality/value A significant proportion of the literature on LEPH remains at a conceptual and theoretical level. This contribution highlights some practical issues while looking at existing examples of collaboration across LEPH at a state level in Australia, and starts mapping a way forward for constructing more integrative LEPH initiatives.

“…In her dissertation fieldwork, Jennie Simpson (2015) explored how homeless individuals with mental illnesses entered the criminal justice system through contact with police officers. In the context of rapid gentrification in Washington, DC, Simpson discovered that police officers often found themselves confronted with an "impossible mandate" (Manning 1997) to both enforce the law and provide services.…”

There are many parallels between anthropological fieldwork and espionage. Both involve looking, listening, eavesdropping, taking notes, recording conversations, snapping photos, and establishing trusted confidants. We call it participant-observation; they call it spying. We seek informants; they seek informers. Both intend to understand and create a representation of someone else's reality. We craft these representations into an "ethnography" based on personal encounters, autobiographies, events, ritual participation, and lived experience; they craft them out of similar observational materials into an official "file."We try to understand the reality of the other, in which we participate, as ultimately having an existence independent of our own experience of it; they seek to document, distort, manipulate, change, and even fabricate that reality for their own ends. We offer interlocutors anonymity in our ethnographic texts, while they seek an ever more precise and intimate textual rendering of named individuals. At least this is how anthropologists from the postcolonial Cold War period understand the differences between fieldwork and state surveillance activities. These parallels and oppositions are changing, however, along with the meanings of self, ethnography, and the file. How might we register these changes in our efforts to understand another person or culture without succumbing to the unmooring effects of working in our era of terror politics? What kind of anticipatory reflections might help us avoid a through-the-looking-glass experience that threatens to constantly situate us in aporias about the constitution of reality or that just as easily slips into modes of conspiratorial paranoia with global reach?As both groups of experts-anthropologists and agents of state security--negotiate the empirical and ethical boundaries between what is to be revealed and what should remain secret, their projects of observation rival each other, with different effects on the observer and the observed. In the course of fieldwork, we are commonly mistaken for or accused of being spies, working as agents of the state in which we reside or of the institutions that fund our research. 1 Our method of participant-observation awakens the institutionalized paranoia of security apparatuses on all sides of the
