Police Professional 5/6/2025 News Detective reasoning in criminal investigation: Integrating abduction, retroduction, deduction, and induction into the national decision model (NDM) This article critiques the current national decision model (NDM) used primarily by police organizations in England and Wales, highlighting its limitations in supporting detective decision-making processes. Although the NDM is effective for ensuring accountability and ethical considerations, it lacks an explicit reasoning stage crucial for the complex decision-making required in detective work. By examining the cognitive processes of abduction, retroduction, deduction and induction, the article argues for the integration of reasoning into the NDM to enhance its utility in investigative contexts. This proposed revision aims to improve decision-making outcomes, reduce the risk of miscarriages of justice and better support detectives in their critical decision-making. The article suggests that a more structured and systematic approach to reasoning within the NDM could lead to more transparent and effective decision-making practices, ultimately benefiting both police practitioners and the communities they serve.

Police Professional 5/6/2025 News Criminalizing Style: Aesthetic Injustice and Racial Profiling in Sweden This contribution extends the understanding of the punitive turn that Swedish politics on crime and punishment is taking by exploring the discursive impact of the visitation zone reform, a measure that allows the police to lower their discretionary standards during certain times in designated areas to ‘risk profile’. Based on ten focus group interviews with 51 participants from a racialized working-class area, the analytical focus is on the relationship among risk profiling, racial profiling and the role of clothing. In the article, scholarship on racism is brought together with debates on policing and aesthetic injustice for the enforcement of social order. The visitation zone reform is deciphered as a race-making technique that guides the police gaze based on a racializing place and class-based imaginary of crime. According to residents, through the measure police officers are encouraged to target people who dress in a ‘hood way’. A main argument is that by criminalizing a certain style, identity-formation processes are repressed among racialized youth.
