Urban Revitalization and the Policing of Racial Territoriality
The results from several recent studies suggest that police stop rates are elevated in neighborhoods that are gentrified or undergoing gentrification. However, it remains unclear how these findings fit into the well-documented pattern of racialized proactive policing practices, often interpreted through a racial-threat lens. To further our understanding of how of law enforcement relates to gentrification as a racialized institution, I utilize pedestrian stop data from eight cities to analyze the interconnected relationships between neighborhood-level police stops, temporal changes in racial and ethnic composition, and gentrification processes. Results from negative binomial spatial-durbin models reveal that, controlling for local crime levels and other covariates, police stops are more prevalent in neighborhoods that have experienced decreases in black and Latinx populations and in those surrounding gentrified areas. However, because gentrified and gentrifying neighborhoods have experienced relatively larger losses of these minority residents, this relationship appears to be intertwined with processes of urban revitalization.

Police silent after accusations of wrongful arrests during Parliament lockdown
CANADA: Police agencies are not responding to accusations they wrongfully arrested two Sikh men and evacuated Parliament Hill Saturday based on what appears to be a bad tip. Members of the United Front of Sikhs Canada, which coordinates events to commemorate the 1984 Sikh massacre in India, have stood on Parliament Hill with signs nearly every June since 2017, but this year's rally was marred by what they say was a "terrorism hoax."

An Exploration of Deterrent and Motivating Factors For Entry Into Policing in Jamaica
While the topics of deterrent and motivating factors for entry into the police profession are well researched and documented in North America, Europe, and other jurisdictions, scholarly research on the phenomenon is scarce in the Caribbean. Furthermore, studies utilising qualitative approaches and police recruits to examine motivations and deterrents (barriers) for entry into policing in the Caribbean are even rarer. As a result, this study utilised a qualitative approach to examine potential deterrent and motivating factors for entry into the Jamaican Constabulary Force (JCF) through the lens of police recruits. Qualitative data were gathered from a cohort of Jamaican police recruits (N = 67) via a qualitative strand that was embedded within a survey instrument to police recruits in 2017 and which formed part of a larger study on policing in the Caribbean. The data were analysed using thematic analysis to determine the major deterrent and motivating factors for entry into the JCF.

Homicide Drop in Seven European Countries: General Or Specific Across Countries and Crime Types?
This study examines homicide trends in seven European countries – Denmark, Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden and Switzerland – all of which manifested a substantial drop in homicide mortality between 1990 and 2016. By using data from the European Homicide Monitor, a coding scheme created to enable cross-country comparisons, combined with the national cause-of-death statistics, we explore generality versus specificity of the homicide drop. We examine changes in the demographic structure of victims and offenders and disaggregate homicides by different subtypes of lethal incidents, such as family-related homicides referring to conflicts between family members, and criminal milieu homicides occurring in the context of robberies, gang-related conflicts or organised crime. Results point to the generality of the drop: in most of the countries studied, the declining trend included all homicide types. The overall decline in homicide mortality was driven mostly by the decline in male victimisation and offending. In most of the countries, the gender distribution of victims and offenders changed only slightly during the study period, whereas the development of the distribution of homicide types manifested greater diversity. Our findings illustrate the benefits of disaggregated analyses in comparative homicide research.
