Please accept this letter from City of London Police as our apology for the damaging way laws were enforced against the LGBT+ Community by policing historically. We acknowledge that the persecution of the LGBT+ Community took place as the result of legislation which was, thankfully, abolished. We accept that attitudes towards the LGBT+ Community and policing practices that occurred at that time were particularly harmful. City of London Police 30/8/2023 News Ulez expansion is wasting police time, Sadiq Khan told Politicians suggest police resources being used to investigate attacks on Ulez cameras rather than more serious crimes The Telegraph - Subscription at source 30/8/2023 News The Victim–Offender Overlap in Intimate Partner Violence: A Within-Individual Approach The aim of the current study is to contribute to the understanding on whether the victim–offender overlap in intimate partner violence (IPV) is a product of population heterogeneity or state dependency between victimization and offending. The study uses a large data set of Finnish police-recorded IPV victims (N = 13,452) and offenders (N = 13,061) to assess whether IPV victimization and offending are temporally associated over and above stable individual differences. The results indicate that the associations between IPV victimization and offending are not fully explained by population heterogeneity, as they persist in the within-individual analyses for both directions and genders. Gender, however, seems to affect the magnitude and robustness of the associations. Further research is needed on the mechanisms driving these results.

Police Oracle - Subscription at source 30/8/2023 News Understanding contradictory styles of policing Policing scholars have shown that logics of police governance that appear mutually exclusive can coexist in the same space and time. Within police institutions, we can find more military-like mindsets alongside democratic rationalities. We here present a novel theoretical perspective for understanding such coexistence. Instead of attempting to identify police rationalities by reference to organizational/structural factors such as subcultures, training, or firearms and other equipment, we show that contradictory logics of policing can coexist within the same force by differentiating policing's targets by space, temporality, and identity. To do so, we use the idea of “chronotope” to identify and understand how police officers decide between conflicting rationalities of policing. Theoretical Criminology - Subscription at source 30/8/2023 Research article If You Want to Cut Down on Crime, Sweat the Small Stuff | Opinion USA: Bill Bratton and Scott Glick, former members of NYPD - When it comes to New York City's crime reduction miracle that began in the early 1990s, some people need a history lesson. That lesson begins in the 1960s when crime started to rise until it finally peaked in the 1990s. By 1990, New York City would see someone killed every few hours, culminating in 2,245 murders that year. The city seemed lost, and having to ride the subway system that keeps it alive drove fear into the hearts of straphangers. It's a situation that may seem familiar to many of the city's residents today. Many thought the situation was hopeless, but these doomsayers were proven wrong.
