Police deviance covers all forms of illegal and unethical conduct by police. Previous research has revealed that the occurrence of police criminal and corrupt activities not only destabilizes the police organization's legitimacy, but also affects that of the State. This qualitative study analyzes in detail the circumstances in which police deviance occurred in Ecuador after the democratic transition (1979-2010), as well as the factors influencing this behaviour. The study also examines the distinct strategies employed by female offenders to resist their victimisation by the police. By taking into consideration the perspectives and experiences of both police officers and female offenders, this study demonstrates that police officers had two main motivations when engaging in this behaviour: extreme pressure faced by the police to produce results against increasing criminality in the country, and the search for individual, group or organizational gain. It also reveals that the tolerance of other criminal justice system officials for police misconduct together with the lack of an institutionalised Public Defense service which would protect offenders' rights and assist them in their defense, encouraged this behaviour. Moreover, it was found that women were seen as suitable targets for police abuse during most years of the period examined. Deep-rooted societal prejudices against certain minority women made them even more suitable targets for police deviant actions. As the end of the research period approached, officers began to change their perceptions of female suspects, and believed these became a threat to their careers. The study was based on 51 oral testimonies from female inmates and 50 in-depth interviews with police officers. The qualitative part of the research was complemented by archival information found in court documents and female prisoner's files produced between 1979 and 2010, as well as by other official and secondary sources.

520 $a Police deviance enthullt alle Formen von illegalem und unethischem Verhalten der Polizei. Die bisherige Forschung hat gezeigt, dass das Vorkommen von kriminellen und korrupten Aktivitaten nicht nur die Legitimitat der Polizeibehorde, sondern auch die des Staates beeintrachigt. Diese qualitative Studie analysiert ausfuhrlich die Umstande, in denen police deviance in Ecuador nach dem Ubergang in die Demokratie auftrat(en). Es werden auch die von Taterinnen unterschiedlich angewendete Strategien untersucht, die es ermoglichten der Viktimisierung durch die Polizei zu widerstehen. Unter Berucksichtigung der Perspektiven und Erfahrungen der Polizisten, als auch der Taterinnen, beweist die Studie, dass die Polizisten zwei Hauptmotivationen hatten, wenn sie in diese Verhaltensweise verfielen: Empfinden extremen Drucks, um Ergebnisse gegen die zunehmende Kriminalitat im Land zu erzielen und das Streben nach personlichem und kollektivem Vorteil. Es zeigt auch, dass die Toleranz anderer Beamter des Strafrechtssystems fur polizeiliches Fehlverhalten zusammen mit dem Fehlen eines institutionalisierten offentlichen Verteidigungsdienstes, der die Rechte von Straftatern schutzen und ihnen bei ihrer Verteidigung helfen wurde, dieses Verhalten forderte. Daruber hinaus wurde auch festgestellt, dass wahrend der meisten Jahre des untersuchten Zeitraums, Frauen als entsprechende Ziele fur polizeiliche Misshandlung gesehen wurden. Tiefsitzende gesellschaftliche Vorurteile gegen bestimmten Minderheiten zugehorigen Frauen, machen diese noch empfindlicher gegenuber police deviant actions. Als das Ende dieser Untersuchung nahte, begannen Polizisten ihre Wahrnehmung von weiblichen Verdachtigen zu andern und glaubten, dass diese eine Bedrohung fur ihre Karriere seien. Die Studie basiert auf 51 mundlichen Aussagen weiblicher Inhaftierter und 50 ausfuhrlichen Interviews mit Polizisten. Der qualitative Teil dieser Forschung wurde durch archivierte Informationen von Gerichtsdokumenten und Akten der Inhaftierten erganzt, die zwischen den Jahren 1979 und 2010 generiert wurden, sowie durch andere offizielle und sekundare Quellen.
