Government of Ireland 12/7/2023 News Race, Ethnicity and Basic Law Enforcement Training Non-Completion: A National-Level Examination of Police Academies Calls for the diversification of policing to better mirror communities served date to 1960s-era national commissions and continue to the present. Largely ignored in efforts to diversify policing is the role of race/ethnicity and completion of academy-based training of police recruits. This study used data collected from 615 U.S. basic law enforcement training (BLET) academies during 2018 to examine the correlates of BLET non-completion, including academy-level counts of racial/ethnic group membership of recruits, academy regional location, affiliation, stress of the training model used, and required weeks of BLET for state-level certification. Multivariate negative binomial regression modeling indicated that compared to non-completion counts of White non-Hispanic recruits, except for Asian non-Hispanic group members, the expected change in non-completion counts for members of all other racial/ethnic groups significantly increased holding all other variables in the model constant at their means. Implications for diversifying policing are discussed and recommendations made for further research. Police Quarterly - Subscription at source 12/7/2023 Research article The Intersection of Masculinity and Mental Health in Police Organizational Culture Developing research indicates a relationship between hegemonic masculinity and adverse mental health outcomes. This link is particularly important for police officers who work in a male-dominated occupation with significant exposure to trauma and greater rates of mental health disorders than the general population. Through surveys with patrol officers from five Canadian police agencies (n = 238), this study explored the relationship between masculinity contest cultures (MCCs) and well-being outcomes.

However, there is limited research assessing whether the driver’s race, gender, or demeanor has the largest impact on receiving leniency. To fill this gap in the literature, I compare the effect of a driver’s race, gender, and demeanor on the probability of receiving leniency for traffic violations. Black and Hispanic drivers were less likely to receive leniency than White drivers. However, the driver’s demeanor had the largest impact on the probability of receiving leniency. Journal of Ethnicity in Criminal Justice 12/7/2023 Research article Evaluation of a Mental Health Liaison Program at a Small Police Department Police officers typically are the first responders to a mental health crisis call. Often, they do not have the required training or tools to deal with these types of calls. This problem is exacerbated in small police departments, which often have fewer resources than large police departments. Alternative programs are needed in smaller police agencies to assist with these issues that officers are facing. This study uses a mixed methods approach to evaluate a recently developed mental health liaison internship program implemented in a small police department in Pennsylvania, exploring whether the program affected police morale and calls for service. Qualitative data from officer interviews indicated officers had a positive perception of the mental health liaison. Compared to the year before the internship program started, emergency calls for service for emotionally disturbed persons increased by 47% during the year the internship program was implemented, although this could be due to citizens trying to connect with the mental health liaison. Additionally, these calls were concentrated in four main addresses, comprising 30% of the emergency calls for service for emotionally disturbed persons in 2021 and 2022. These findings are discussed in light of the extant literature. Overall, the internship program provided an experiential learning opportunity for the student, assisted the small police department and improved officer morale.
