Notizen:
This article examines the interaction of 911 operators with callers. The study is based on 36 hours of participant observation and an in-depth analysis of 265 randomly recorded telephone contacts between citizens and police emergency operators over a 24-hour period. Call processing is only partially explained by the in formation-gathering function of operators. Initial data from callers are used by operators to help the caller and the operator together construct a definition of an event that makes sense organizationally. Thus, the article describes the interpretive work of 911 operators and the consequences of such work for demand processing within police agencies.
