The purpose of the Police Module is primarily to gain an understanding of New Zealanders’ experiences with, and perceptions of, NZ Police. The report below shares the findings of the Police Module data from when the Police Module was introduced in March 2021 to the completion of the NZCVS Cycle 4 data collection (November 2021).

NZ Police data sharing agreement with European police questioned over controversy
NEW ZEALAND: A new police deal to share data with law enforcement in Europe has been done when Europol is being sued for harvesting screes of data about ordinary citizens. The European Union's own data protection watchdog is suing its own police for the mass processing of the personal data of people with no links to criminal activity. New Zealand did a deal with Europol in June 2022 to expand data sharing. The negotiations happened as the controversy over Europol's so-called 'big data ark' was growing.

Does economic inequality fuel stop and search by the police? Evidence from London suggests the answer is ‘Yes’
Police officers more frequently stop and search members of the public in neighbourhoods where well-off and economically precarious people co-exist. Joel H. Suss and Thiago R. Oliveira show that this pattern holds up even when accounting for other important factors, such as previous local crime rates and a neighbourhood’s ethnic makeup. Although the evidence is that stop and search activity does little to reduce crime, the police persist with the practice in order to maintain social order.

The way to stop revenge porn is by demanding compensation
Victims of “revenge porn” will be in no doubt about the seriousness of this relatively new but growing problem. Refuge, the domestic abuse charity, estimates that one in 14 adults in England and Wales has experienced threats to share intimate or sexual images online or via social media, or to send them to the individual’s friends, family or employer. In a number of documented cases, this tech-enabled threat leads to coercive control, domestic abuse, damage to mental health and even suicide. Not surprisingly, revenge porn has been criminalised, but the practice is still growing. However, new forms of potential redress in the civil courts are emerging, which may yet prove effective in deterring this appalling behaviour and providing some comfort to victims.

We’re struggling to deliver good service, police officers admit
Rank-and-file officers have welcomed a pledge by police chiefs to attend every residential burglary but warned that they were “struggling to deliver” a service the government wanted to give the public. All 43 chief constables of police forces in England and Wales announced yesterday that officers would visit each victim. Some forces already attend the scene of every home burglary but others do so only when victims are vulnerable or elderly, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) said.
