Managing Policing Demand for Digital Forensics through Risk Assessment and Prioritization in England and Wales Digital forensic helps to unlock the evidential opportunities presented by digital devices. Ninety per cent of all cases in England and Wales carry a digital element and identifying the devices with the most evidential value is central to dealing effectively and efficiently with the demand for digital forensic (DF) analysis. This article offers an ethnographically informed, empirical analysis of how police requests for in-house DF examinations are organized in 35 forces in England and Wales, and the mechanisms, contexts, and challenges of managing-related internal demand, which have been rarely examined systematically in both policing and DF practitioner literature. The analysis illustrates how an updated understanding of risk and prioritization is needed to address the growing demand for DF analysis. The findings call for updated, systematic approaches that encourage the forecasting of internal policing demand collaboratively and bridge between the operational and the technical sides of investigations.

Examining the interplay of perceived organizational justice and psychological contract breach on police corruption in Nigeria Drawing upon equity and social exchange theories, this study expands police corruption literature by examining how perceived organizational justice (procedural, distributive, interpersonal, and informational justice) interplays with psychological contract breach (PCB) to predict corrupt tendencies among a sample of the Nigerian police. Two hundred and sixty-three police officers participated in the study. Data analysed using moderated regression statistics indicated that PCB was positively associated with corrupt tendencies. Perceived fairness in organizational procedure, distributive system, interpersonal treatment, and information reduced the extent to which PCB relates with corrupt tendencies among police officers. To reduce the effect of PCB on police corruption, the present findings suggest the need for police authorities and relevant stakeholders to always maintain fairness in their managerial procedures and practices as well as how they treat their employees.

First Point of Contact: Can Procedural Justice Be Applied by Emergency Calltakers? Emergency calltakers are the first point of contact for community members requesting police services. In the current period of demands for reform in the criminal justice system, where do these calltakers fit? Prior research indicates that emergency calltakers and dispatchers play a significant role in the criminal justice response, prompting reformers to examine whether justice improvements might be achieved through this group. One area of reform—procedural justice training for emergency calltakers—often applied to direct officer–citizen interactions—has been suggested as a possible avenue for improving the justice system’s legitimacy. Drawing from insights gained through a systematic observation study of police calltakers and dispatchers, this policy analysis raises questions and caveats about applying procedural justice concepts to calltaking.
