Waterloo Region Record (Canada) 18/7/2023 Feature, Opinion Exceptional Clearances, “Real” Cases of Intimate Partner Violence, and Mandatory Arrest Laws This study examined the extent to which cases of intimate partner violence were cleared by arrest, remained open, or closed by exceptional clearance. Incident and state-level factors associated with each outcome were examined for incidents submitted to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) from 2000 to 2009. Using the 10 years of data, comprising 5,481 jurisdictions in 36 states and the District of Columbia, findings show exceptional clearance is more likely to occur in residences, incidents of lower severity, and with same-sex couples, while being less likely in states with preferred and mandatory arrest laws.

Saltwire (Canada) 18/7/2023 News Violent encounters with private security guards in Sweden: mapping the juncture between public and private policing The aim with this article is to expand the understanding of current forms of professional arrangements that regulate coercive policing practices at the street level. The empirical material consists of in-depth interviews with individuals who have had violent encounters with security guards. Departing from experiences of being brutalised, the study engages with the moment when the police enter the narratives. The analysis highlights that the police can reinforce the authority of the security guards, but also [counter]balance their violence. There are occasions when the interviewees perceive that the police side with them, a matter that challenges simplified understandings of public and private policing agents exercising sovereign control in a unified way. The argument advanced is that the division of labour between the professional actors in some instances opens a window of opportunity where the police are positioned to decide whether they should implement either coercive or more consensual governing techniques. Policing and Society 18/7/2023 Research article The Influence of Guardian and Warrior Police Orientations on Australian Officers’ Use of Force Attitudes and Tactical Decision-Making Concerns about excessive use of force by U.S. police have led to calls for agencies to move from ‘warrior’ to ‘guardian’ policing. ‘Warrior’ policing embodies an aggressive or coercive approach to law enforcement, while ‘guardian’ policing prioritises communication, procedural justice and citizen safety. Associations between guardian and warrior policing orientations and use of force attitudes in the U.S. have been found, however the influence of these orientations on police use of force in Australia has not been examined. This study examined the association of guardian and warrior policing orientations with use of force attitudes, threat perceptions and tactical decision-making among Australian officers, through a survey of 183 police officers in Queensland. Regression analyses indicated that warrior policing was associated with greater support for use of force and greater perceived threat in an ambiguous threat scenario, while guardian policing was associated with more restraint in tactical decision-making among Australian police officers.
