BBC 23/8/2023 News Threat Dynamics and Police Use of Force Objective: Police officers’ use of force (UoF) has traditionally been understood vis-à-vis subject resistance, but researchers have recently argued for a greater emphasis on subject threat. We examine the role of static and dynamic threat measures, consisting of indicators for ability, opportunity, and intent, in police UoF while accounting for subject resistance. Data and Methods: We use data from a large multiagency sample of coded police force narratives and a series of multilevel models that nest temporally ordered force sequences (dyadic exchanges between officers and subjects) within their respective UoF incidents. Results: Our results suggest that (1) police force incidents are dynamic with levels of force and resistance often fluctuating throughout the incident, (2) each element of subject threat significantly predicts force, net of resistance and other variables, and (3) the elements of threat interact with one another to explain force, but not completely as expected. Conclusions: Our results suggest that subject threat, in addition to resistance, provides important insights for understanding when officers either use or escalate force. We conclude with suggestions for those interested in further exploring the intersection of threat, resistance, and police UoF. Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency 23/8/2023 Research article Impact of COVID-19 on the Mood Profile of Frontline Workers: Central Police Force The outbreak of COVID-19 has forced people into a vexing interval. The uncertainty revolving around this pandemic had traumatizing effects on the human mind and body, particularly that of frontline workers. In this study, we assessed the mood profile of Delhi police personnel utilizing the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire. The study was conducted in two phases, one during the COVID phase (interview conducted in July 2020) and the second phase was the post-COVID phase (interview conducted in December 2021). The total mood disturbance (TMD), as well as all negative subscale scores, were significantly higher, and positive subscale scores were significantly lower in personnel in the COVID phase than in those in the post-COVID phase. Furthermore, we subcategorized personnel based on their age and the post they held and observed a difference in both positive and negative subscales. However, their TMD score was significantly higher and the Esteem-Related Affect score was significantly lower in COVID phase personnel than in post-COVID phase personnel, irrespective of these two sociodemographic factors. Moreover, despite difficulties and unpredictable challenges, the vigor score did not vary in any of the groups, which shows the personnel’s dedication toward duty and impromptu situation handling caliber. These results showcase the impact of COVID-19 on the psychological state of personnel and the importance of paying attention to their mental well-being. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology - Subscription at source 23/8/2023 Research article Global crime science: what should we do and with whom should we do it? Following on from a previous paper advocating changes in the editorial processes of peer-reviewed journals, the present paper espouses the conduct of multiple local victimisation surveys as an affordable route to a pan-European crime science. Local surveys have a local impact which national surveys lack, and meta-analysis of survey results enable more general conclusions. The Latvian local survey reported in the chapter revealed wide inequality of victimisation at the individual level, an association between high rating of the seriousness of offences suffered, multiple victimisation at the individual level, and alienation from the police of some ethnic groups.
