Business in Vancouver (BIV) (Canada) 24/7/2023 Feature Estimation of Eyewitness Error Rates in Fair and Biased Lineups Objective: The risk of mistaken identification for innocent suspects in lineups can be estimated by correcting the overall error rate by the number of people in the lineup. We compared this nominal size correction to a new effective size correction, which adjusts the error rate for the number of plausible lineup members. Hypotheses: We hypothesized that (a) increasing lineup bias would increase misidentifications of a designated innocent suspect; (b) with the effective size correction, increasing lineup bias would also increase the estimate of innocent-suspect misidentifications; and (c) with the nominal size correction, lineup bias would have no effect on the estimate of innocent-suspect misidentifications. Method: In a reanalysis of previous literature, we obtained 10 data sets from Open Science Framework. In three new experiments (Ns = 686, 405, and 1,531, respectively), participants observed a staged crime and completed a fair or biased lineup. Results: In the reanalysis of previous literature, less than four of six lineup members were identified frequently enough to be classified as plausible, M = 3.78, 95% confidence interval [CI: 2.20, 5.36]. In the new experiments, increasing lineup bias increased mistaken identifications of a designated innocent suspect, odds ratio (OR) = 5.50, 95% CI [2.77, 10.95] and also increased the effective size-corrected estimate of innocent-suspect misidentifications, OR = 3.04, 95% CI [2.13, 4.33]. With the nominal size correction, lineup bias had no effect on the estimate of innocent-suspect misidentifications, OR = 0.84, 95% CI [0.60, 1.18]. Conclusions: Most lineups include a combination of plausible and implausible lineup members. Contrary to the nominal size correction, which ignores implausible lineup members, the effective size correction is sensitive to implausible lineup members and accounts for lineup bias when estimating the risk of innocent suspect misidentifications.

The Hill Times (Canada) - Subscription at source 24/7/2023 News Did George Floyd’s murder shape the public’s felt obligation to obey the police? Objective: Our goal in the present study was to use longitudinal data to assess how normative (i.e., consensually motivated) and instrumental (i.e., coercively motivated) obligation to obey police changed after police murdered George Floyd and whether these changes differed by political ideology. Hypotheses: Using procedural justice theory, we hypothesized that after Floyd’s murder, participants would feel less normatively obligated and more instrumentally obligated to obey police. We also hypothesized that these trends would be stronger for liberal-leaning than conservative-leaning participants. Method: Adults (N = 645) were recruited through Prolific from four politically diverse U.S. states. Participants reported their normative and instrumental obligation across three waves of data collection, each separated by 3 weeks. The first two waves were collected prior to the Floyd’s murder, and the third was collected after. Results: Hierarchical linear models indicated that although normative obligation remained stable before Floyd’s murder, it declined after Floyd’s murder (b = −0.19, 95% CI [−0.24, −0.14], p < .001). In contrast, coercive obligation to obey increased consistently across all three waves. Liberal-leaning participants drove most of the effects. Conclusions: For researchers, these findings help strengthen our understanding of procedural justice theory by differentiating normative and instrumental obligation and by distinguishing differences by political ideology within the context of a historic police-brutality event. For policymakers and law enforcement, our research suggests that police brutality may undermine the public’s normative felt obligation to obey the police, which would be problematic for police reformation efforts grounded in governing by mutual consent versus by fear and coercion. Law and Human Behavior 24/7/2023 Research article Practicing better cyber hygiene CANADA: Back in the summer months of 2022, I created a list of topics that I wanted to feature in Blue Line in 2023. Blue Line (Canada) 24/7/2023 Feature, Opinion Mental Health Providers and Peers Help Enhance the Effectiveness of Law Enforcement Mental Health Interventions In the line of duty, law enforcement officers are exposed to various stressors. Therefore, they are vulnerable to the onset of mental health disorders. Unfortunately, many officers in need may not readily seek out mental health assistance because of the stigma associated with mental illness that persists within the culture of law enforcement. Psychoeducation and a judgment-free environment can reduce the stigma surrounding mental health treatment. Though both mental health professional (MHP)-led programs and peer-led support programs for law enforcement do help, we argue that neither one on its own is enough to combat stigma and increase treatment access and adherence. Therefore, we argue that a model that incorporates both peer-led initiatives and the expertise of mental health professionals may help dispel stigma, increase trust, and increase service use among law enforcement officers. Following a discussion of the theoretical basis for a hybrid model, we describe the Texas Post-Critical Incident Seminar (PCIS) program as a real-world application of a hybrid model.
