The Sun 6/4/2026 News Machines of justice: A systematic review of AI applications in policing and criminal justice Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing how police and criminal justice systems detect, predict, and respond to crime. This systematic review synthesizes over a decade of research on AI applications, with a particular focus on policing-related applications, including crime pattern detection, predictive policing, and criminal network analysis, alongside broader judicial and correctional tools. While AI holds considerable potential for enhancing efficiency and resource allocation, it also introduces substantial ethical and legal challenges, particularly regarding algorithmic bias, opacity, and due process. Drawing on peer-reviewed studies, government reports, and critical analyses, this review maps key trends, technical innovations, and gaps in oversight. The review concludes with targeted policy recommendations and directions for future research aimed at ensuring that AI tools in policing and criminal justice promote, rather than undermine, equity, accountability, and human rights.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 6/4/2026 Feature, Innovation, Opinion Development and initial psychometric evaluation of an adapted Moral Injury Events Scale for Law Enforcement (MIES-LE) Moral injury (MI) occurs in a variety of serving occupations including among law enforcement professionals (LEP). MI was originally described among military veterans as distress arising from a violation of one’s morals and values. Historically, MI measurement was not informed by the perspectives of those who experience it, and validation of measures was limited to military or veteran populations. Informed by a grounded theory of MI among LEP, we adapted a military MI measure for LEP. Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), we examined the factor structure of the Moral Injury Events Scale for Law Enforcement (MIES-LE) and propose a 6-factor, 19-item MIES-LE: direct and indirect betrayals, transgressive acts, witnessed transgressions, weathering, and global perceptions of trust. The MIES-LE demonstrates construct validity, internal consistency (α = 0.84), and is a parsimonious measure to assess the exposure to potentially morally injurious experiences and MI distress among LEP in research and applied settings. Police Practice and Research 6/4/2026 Research article Staying ahead of the threat: situation awareness and tactical reasoning in law enforcement vehicle stops Vehicle stops represent one of the most frequent yet tactically complex interactions between law enforcement officers and civilians. Although often routine, they can escalate rapidly. This study investigated the role of situation awareness (SA) in police officers’ decision-making during vehicle stops. Drawing on Endsley’s three-level SA model and Huhta’s seven police-specific SA themes, this study explored how officers perceive, comprehend, and project evolving situations. Using qualitative data from 49 interviews with Swedish police officers, this study identified key elements that influence SA, including time and distance management, partner roles, suspect profiling, environmental conditions, tactical options, ongoing self-assessment, and identification of dangerous objects. These findings highlight the significance of structured training, effective communication, and adaptive tactics to enhance SA. This study contributes to both theoretical frameworks and practical advancements by offering insights to inform evidence-based training and policy development aimed at improving safety for both officers and civilians during vehicle stops.
