As expected, interviewers were poor at adhering to best practice interview guidelines in the pre-substantive and closure phases of the interviews. Although invitations were used within the range of best practice, they were not used more often and did not elicit more allegation-related details than directive questions. Critically, actors’ responses to invitations were less informative than their responses to all other question types. Furthermore, large differences were observed between the two training sites in the number of questions asked and amount of information elicited by interviewers. Our results show that (1) trainee interviewers are not utilising simulations to practice all required interviewing skills, (2) adult actors are not reinforcing interviewers’ use of invitations as intended, and (3) trainee interviewers are not being afforded the same opportunities to practice their skills due to variation in resources across Scotland. We recommend improvements to the JIIT programme to address these concerns. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology 13/3/2023 Research article Exploring the Risk of Resulting in Homicide and Suicide in Spanish Missing Person Cases The study explores in depth the relationship between missing persons’ psychosocial and criminological characteristics/circumstances and violent-fatal outcomes (suicide and homicide). A relational analytical explicative study of 929 cases and controls was designed using a retrospective and stratified design. Data gathering was conducted through the content analysis of judicial and police information, as well as the development of psychological autopsy techniques and semi-structured interviews with the persons involved in the missing person cases including offenders in prison. Bivariate and multivariate statistical techniques were utilised for analyses. The findings showed that there are different risk and protective factors which can distinguish between good state of health, suicide, and homicide outcomes. This research entails implications for prevention and police risk assessment system. European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research 13/3/2023 Research article A field-experiment testing the impact of a warrant service prioritization strategy for police patrol officers The objective of this experiment was to test the efficacy of providing prioritized warrant lists to patrol officers. A field experiment was carried out with the Greensboro (NC) Police Department. Warrant risk profiles were calculated from an analysis of historical offending; historical risk factors were used to implement prospective risk assessment for committing a violent crime while having an outstanding warrant issued during the field experiment. During the period from March 01, through July 31, 2019, people with warrants were randomly allocated to treatment or control. Outcomes included: number of warrants served, time to service, and average risk score of warrants served. Prioritization was not effective in promoting additional warrant service. No differences were found in the risk scores of people served. However, assessment of time to service suggested that warrants were served more quickly during the experimental period. Implementation of warrant prioritization had limited impacts; the process evaluation demonstrated the difficulty in modifying police patrol behaviors. Crime Science Journal 13/3/2023 Research article When is a target not a target? UK national policing targets and league tables – supposedly scrapped by the Government more than a decade ago – now look set to return; Police Federation of England and Wales National Board Member David Bamber, and University of Sunderland Policing Lecturer Adrian Smiles, explore the previous impact of a target-driven culture on policing and the public sector, and what the consequences could be for today’s service.

In fact, it was a bit of a nightmare. Let me set the scene. Last autumn, I and the Chief Constable had managed to achieve a sustainable budget for the entire five-year period of the Medium-Term Financial Plan (MTFP) without the use of reserves. This was the healthiest position the force had been in for a decade. Anyone who has taken over from a Labour administration will understand how difficult it was to get to that position. Conservative Home 13/3/2023 Feature, Opinion Britain’s Northamptonshire police debut hybrid scooters Manufacturers commonly sell modified production-model vehicles to local police departments. Very rarely does law enforcement have a say in the development and design of such projects. That’s not the case when it comes to White Motorcycle Concepts (WMC) and Britain’s Northamptonshire Police. Starting in 2019, the Northhamptonshire-based electric mobility brand worked alongside Chief Constable Nick Adderley to design a vehicle suitable for the department’s needs. The resulting WMC300F not only provides transport for individual officers but also meets the force’s green goals with hybrid technology and aerodynamics innovations. motor1.com 13/3/2023 News Norway’s police train to reinforce words over weapons NORWAY: Revolvers in hand, they advance slowly down the hallway past the panicked and wounded witnesses before the armed suspect suddenly comes into view, about to kill a man cowering on the floor.

France 24 13/3/2023 News Suella Braveman: ‘Orwellian’ non-crime hate incidents distract police Policing is a very demanding job with a simple mission: to stop crime and keep people safe. Common sense dictates that everything a police officer does should be in service to that. That will of course include work other than arresting criminals, such as intelligence-gathering and getting to know local communities. But it must never include politically correct distractions. When I became home secretary, I indicated that I was concerned about the use of non-crime hate incidents. To my mind the concept is largely Orwellian and wrongheaded. Recording non-crime hate incidents can have some utility in capturing patterns of individual behaviour or identifying local incident ‘hotspots’ in order to prevent crime. But non-crime hate incidents must not distract the police from their core duties, they The Times 13/3/2023 Feature, Opinion General Director Sergio Muñoz talks with PolicingTV General Director Sergio Muñoz talks with PolicingTV about his participation in the World Police Summit in Dubai, the largest conference on police issues in which the latest advances in these matters are exposed.
