College of Policing 14/7/2026 News The Effect of Higher Education in Police Supervisors’ Willingness to Use Scientific Principles The purpose of this study is to assess the relation between police supervisors’ education level and perceived willingness to apply scientific principles when evaluating police tactics. Using survey data from a group of police supervisors attending an advanced leadership course, we examined the correlation between education and outcome variables using ordinal regression and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. Findings indicated that participants’ education level did not significantly correlate with willingness to apply scientific principles when evaluating police tactics. These findings indicated a need to reevaluate police and criminal justice education programs to promote evidence-based practice and applied science. Specific recommendations and future research directions will be discussed.

Police Professional 14/7/2026 Feature, Opinion Reassessing the evidence base: a critical appraisal of Domestic Abuse Risk Assessment in practice In England and Wales, police responses to domestic abuse increasingly rely on formal risk-assessment tools to support decision-making and resource allocation. In 2022, the College of Policing endorsed the Domestic Abuse Risk Assessment (DARA) tool as a replacement for the widely used Domestic Abuse, Stalking, Harassment and Honour-Based Violence assessment, citing improved sensitivity to coercive control and operational effectiveness. However, the evidence underpinning this national roll-out remains limited. This article presents an independent, exploratory analysis of DARA using administrative data from a police force not involved in the original pilot evaluation. The study examines changes in the recording of coercive and controlling behaviour, patterns of risk grading, consistency in officer assessments, and associations with repeat victimization. Findings are descriptive and do not seek to establish causality or predictive accuracy. Instead, the analysis provides insight into DARA's early use beyond pilot conditions and highlights the challenges of evaluating risk-assessment tools deployed at scale. The article contributes to wider debates on evidence standards in policing policy and the balance between innovation, operational demand, and victim safety.

PolicingTV 14/7/2026 Feature, Video The Beat Goes On: a qualitative study of support and welfare needs of police leaver transitions The end-of-career stage of the police lifecycle represents a profound shift in identity and psychological stability, yet it remains historically neglected in research. This qualitative study investigated perspectives of UK police leavers and those approaching retirement (N = 325) regarding desired improvements to organisational support. Content analysis identified four themes: ‘Holistic support and long-term welfare’, ‘Institutional culture and professional worth’, ‘Navigating the structural transition’, and ‘Individual and systemic perspectives’. Findings suggest that the psychological contract between the officer and the organisation can be perceived as breached at the exit point, shifting from a relational bond to a more transactional termination. Middle-ranking officers and early leavers frequently highlighted a profound sense of institutional abandonment. To address these gaps, this paper makes recommendations for developing effective transitions. By implementing postservice welfare, and adopting structured resettlement models, police organisations can fulfil their duty of care and mend the psychological contract for those who have served.
