Police Professional 15/3/2023 News Cumulative exposure to citizens’ trauma and secondary traumatic stress among police officers: the role of specialization in domestic violence prevention Police officers are routinely exposed to a variety of critical incidents and as a result are a population vulnerable to various mental health issues. However, little is known about the impacts of exposure to citizens’ trauma on officers’ mental health and whether officers specializing in domestic violence prevention can better cope with the stress resulting from citizens’ trauma. This study aims to address these research gaps by analyzing the data collected from a sample of 734 Taiwanese police officers through an online survey. Findings indicate that cumulative exposure to citizens’ trauma was positively associated with secondary traumatic stress. Though officers specializing in domestic violence prevention experienced a higher level of secondary traumatic stress than their non-specialist counterparts, their specialization did help them better manage secondary traumatic stress. This study represents the first known attempt to examine the impacts of exposure to citizens’ trauma on police officers’ mental health in an Asian setting; it is also groundbreaking in that it tested whether specialization in domestic violence prevention can serve as a protective factor against exposure to citizens’ trauma. Police Practice and Research - Subscription at source 15/3/2023 Research article Examining Differences in the Individual and Contextual Risk Factors for Police Officer, Correctional Officer, and Non-Protective Service Suicides Suicide rates vary across occupational groups, with protective service occupations at elevated risk for suicide. Yet, research on correctional officer suicide remains sparse, as does research linking the broader social context to police officer suicides and correctional officer suicides. This study examines differences in the individual and contextual risk factors for police officer suicides, correctional officer suicides, and non-protective service suicides in the U.S. from 2003 to 2018 using data from the National Violent Death Reporting System and the American Community Survey. Descriptive analysis and logistic hierarchical models indicated that police officer suicides, correctional officer suicides, and non-protective service suicides had distinct etiologies. Additionally, the broader social context had an appreciable impact on occupation-specific suicide. Ultimately, interventions to address suicidality, including among public safety professionals, should be occupation-specific and consider both individual and contextual risk factors. Justice Quarterly - Subscription at source 15/3/2023 Research article From unreliable sources: Bayesian critique and normative modelling of HUMINT inferences This paper applies Bayesian theories to critically analyse and offer reforms of intelligence analysis, collection, analysis, and decision making on the basis of Human Intelligence, Signals Intelligence, and Communication Intelligence. The article criticises the reliabilities of existing intelligence methodologies to demonstrate the need for Bayesian reforms. The proposed epistemic reform program for intelligence analysis should generate more reliable inferences. It distinguishes the transmission of knowledge from its generation, and consists of Bayesian three stages modular model for the generation of reliable intelligence from multiple coherent and independent testimonial sources, and for the tracing and analysis of intelligence failures. The paper concludes with suggestions for further research, the development of artificial intellignce that may measure coherence and reliability of HUMINT sources and infer intelligence following the outlined general modular model. Journal of Policing Intelligence and Counter Terrorism - Subscription at source 15/3/2023 Research article A Descriptive Study of Police Officer Access to Mental Health Services The culture of policing is thought to emphasize maladaptive methods of coping with stress, such as the use of alcohol, rather than seeking out mental health services. The current paper seeks to better understand police officers’ knowledge about mental health services offered by their department and their willingness to engage in and utilize such services. Pen and paper surveys were administered at daily briefings with 134 members of a Southwestern police department. This descriptive study indicates that while only 34% of officers were explicitly aware that their department provided services to alleviate stress or mental health issues, and 38% of officers were unsure of exactly what those services were, over 60% of officers were willing to participate in an annual mental health checkup or mental health class. Ultimately, officers may now be more willing to participate in and take advantage of mental health and wellness opportunities, but the knowledge of what those services are often acts as one barrier, among others, to accessing those services. Knowledge dissemination of mental health and wellness opportunities represents one way to engage more officers in preventative health options.
