Policing Insight - Subscription at source 7/4/2025 Analysis, Feature, Opinion ‘Some Like it Hot’: exploring crime cold spots, environmental criminology and crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) Hot spot analysis has been used for many years to identify locations where crime is a concern and where resources can be distributed in a timely and targeted manner. While the hot spot approach focuses attention on preventing what we don’t want (high levels/concentrations of crime and fear of crime), we may be missing insights into why cold spot locations are successful. An in-parallel hot/cold spot approach would also focus on what we do want (safety, amenity, liveability, and resilience). We explore the relatively under-researched area of crime cold spots and advance the concept of a non-binary ‘crime heat spectrum’ that contains and expands hot/cold spots. We also demonstrate how this ‘crime heat spectrum’ can be linked to formal risk management methodology (ISO31000) to help quantify and manage ‘spots’ and better inform crime prevention strategies, planning and crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). Crime Prevention and Community Safety - Subscription at source 7/4/2025 Research article Regionalized Police Response to Sexual Assault: A Pilot Study High rates of sexual assault continue to harm our communities and survivors choosing not to report to police remain high. To address this persistent problem, and with limited available resources, two adjacent small to medium-sized Colorado police departments partnered on a novel, trauma-informed strategy to improve their response to sexual assault survivors and hold offenders accountable. Borrowing from a successful multi-jurisdictional drug task force model, and shared victim services program, the agencies piloted a regionalized model for sexual assault response combining resources, training, staffing, and space. To understand the Sexual Assault Task Force’s (SATF) efficacy, a mixed methods research project tracked several sexual assault case variables, conducted implementation-focused interviews with detectives and community partners, and conducted an in-depth case review of over 500 sexual assault cases across six years. This article focuses on the results of the case review. Case review scores were analyzed using an interrupted time series model. Results did not show a discontinuous jump in case scores from pre- to post-SATF implementation, however, one agency’s case scores improved significantly and case scores in general trended upwards post-SATF implementation. Community collaborations also increased considerably. Several infrastructure challenges and the COVID-19 pandemic affected the SATF’s progress. Justice Evaluation Journal - Subscription at source 7/4/2025 Research article Rapport-building in suspect interviews: a survey of Lithuanian investigators In criminal investigation interviewing settings, establishing rapport with interviewees has been successively found as paramount in successfully resolving a case. In the present exploratory study, we examined for the first time (to our knowledge) perceptions of Lithuanian police interviewers about what they actually do to obtain rapport when they conduct interviews with suspects. Sixty-one crime investigators took part in a survey where they were requested to answer both open-ended and close-ended questions relating to this subject. Respondents reported their employing a variety of rapport-building techniques. Lithuanian interviewers emphasized relationship-based rapport techniques (e.g. displaying empathy, friendliness or humor) more so than procedural ones (e.g. when explaining to suspects their rights or interview purpose) when describing what they did when interviewing suspects. Additionally, behaviors not found in the literature as ones relating to rapport, or those considered as counterproductive techniques, were occasionally reported as rapport-building approaches, especially when they dealt with uncooperative suspects. Also, it was found that respondents paid greater emphasis to the importance of rapport-building at the start of the interview but less so as interviews developed. Overall, Lithuanian criminal investigators appreciated the value of the rapport in interviews with suspects, nevertheless, challenges still remain.
