In this paper we examine the relationship between social movements and the police through an analysis of the Civil Rights Movement (CRM) which emerged in the late 1960s in Northern Ireland. Following della Porta (1995) and Melucci (1996) we argue that the way in which episodes of collective action are policed can affect profoundly both levels of mobilization and the orientation of social movements. We also submit that the symbolic and representational dimensions of policing can be a significant trigger in the stimulation of identification processes and collective action. The paper concludes by questioning some of the assumptions contained within social movement theory, and their applicability to divided societies such as Northern Ireland.
在本文中，我们通过对20世纪60年代末出现在北爱尔兰的民权运动（CRM）进行分析，来研究社会运动与警方之间的关系。遵循德拉·波尔塔（1995年）和梅卢奇（1996年）的观点，我们认为，对集体行动事件的治安管理方式会深刻影响动员水平和社会运动的取向。我们还认为，治安管理的象征和表象层面可能是激发认同过程和集体行动的一个重要触发因素。本文最后对社会运动理论中包含的一些假设及其在北爱尔兰等分裂社会中的适用性提出了质疑。
