Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) 13/9/2023 News In defence of Garda bodycams REPUBLIC OF IRELAND: Whenever the state seeks to increase its power, or reach into our lives, there should be skepticism. That is very much the principle on which Gript Media operates: our view is that the role of the press in a democracy should be to interrogate state power and question those who would seek to increase it, because the state is already massively powerful compared to the individual. In that respect, you’ll tend to read here articles that are usually hostile or questioning about various state initiatives to increase its power, whether that be further restrictions on vaping, hate speech laws, new speed limits, or whatever. In the case of fitting the Gardai with body cameras, though, it seems to me that such concerns are misplaced. Gript (Republic of Ireland) 13/9/2023 Feature, Opinion Head of Clare Garda Division says no connection between falling Garda numbers and rise in criminality REPUBLIC OF IRELAND: The head of the Clare Garda Division has dismissed any suggestion of a connection between falling Garda numbers and a rise in criminality in the county.

BBC 13/9/2023 News Victim Notification Protocols for Untested Sexual Assault Kits: Survivors’ and Advocates’ Perspectives on Law Enforcement-Led Outreach Methods Current estimates suggest there are 300,000–400,000 untested sexual assault kits (SAKs) in police department storage facilities throughout the United States. As these kits are being discovered and then submitted for forensic DNA testing, legal system personnel may recontact victims. These “victim notifications” involve informing survivors their kits were previously untested, sharing the results of new DNA testing, and asking for their engagement in reinvestigating and prosecuting the case. Typically, victim notifications are conducted by police, and survivors are connected with victim advocates soon thereafter. In this study, we interviewed survivors about their experiences of being notified by the police. We also interviewed about their work supporting survivors. Both survivors and advocates expressed strong concerns about police conducting notifications without an advocate present. Violence Against Women 13/9/2023 Research article Sources of Police Legitimacy in Europe: the Role of Immigrant Status and Ethnic Discrimination Police legitimacy is crucial in democratic societies because it promotes citizen’s cooperation with the police and compliance with the law. Scholarship identified police procedural justice and police effectiveness as potential predictors of police legitimacy. In Europe, the police are serving an increasingly diverse group of citizens as the number of immigrants in European countries has been growing steadily. Research on predictors of police legitimacy for distinct groups in society—like immigrants versus non-immigrants—is scarce, however. Using data from the European Social Survey, this study has two aims. First, to examine whether immigration status moderates the relationships between perceived police procedural justice and police legitimacy, and between perceived police effectiveness and police legitimacy. Second, to compare the relationship between police procedural justice and police legitimacy for immigrants who belong to an ethnic group that is discriminated against in society and for immigrants who do not. Police procedural justice was the strongest predictor of police legitimacy in both immigrant and non-immigrant groups. Immigration status did not strongly influence the relationship between police procedural justice and police effectiveness on the one hand and police legitimacy on the other hand. Furthermore, discrimination did not impact the relationship between police procedural justice and police legitimacy among immigrants. Therefore, our findings suggest that the police can rely on the same principles of policing for immigrants and non-immigrants to uphold police legitimacy in Europe.
