National's police spokeperson Mark Mitchell said there was an average of 292 recorded retail crimes each day in 2022, up from 140 per day in 2018. "A regional breakdown of the data provided by the police minister shows this isn't only happening in isolated areas," Mitchell said. "Eight out of 12 policing districts reported at least a 100 percent increase in retail crime incidents since 2018." Police said the data was skewed, partly because new systems make it easier to report low-level crime.

Edmonton Journal (Canada) 12/3/2023 News Calls for Quebec to create spit mask guidelines for law enforcement CANADA: A former Montreal police officer and crisis intervention specialist is calling on the government to implement proper training and protocols when using spit masks. The mesh face covering used by law enforcement is to prevent a person from spitting on them and, according to Michael Arruda, can be used to de-escalate a situation. "It's a good piece of equipment, but used in the wrong way, it can effectively have tragic results," he told CTV News. Nicous D'Andre Spring died last December after correctional officers put a spit mask on him. A Bordeaux jail supervisor ordered the officers to pepper spray him while wearing the device.

The Australian - Subscription at source 12/3/2023 News Data-Science literacy for future security and intelligence professionals Teaching data literacy topics, such as machine learning, to security studies students is difficult because there are limited security-related teaching materials (e.g. datasets, user friendly software) for instructors. To address this challenge, we conducted an exploratory study to evaluate an asynchronous training module and software prototype with 15 college students. A key finding from this study is the importance of a simple teaching software tool and security case studies. The module boosted knowledge of key concepts and awareness of ‘big data’ accountability issues. We also found that teaching data-science concepts – even at an elementary level – requires that students have basic proficiencies working with datasets and spreadsheets, which suggests the need to integrate these skills throughout security studies curricula. This research also highlights the importance of building partnerships with data-science instructors to integrate data-science literacy in security studies and intelligence studies. Journal of Policing Intelligence and Counter Terrorism - Subscription at source 12/3/2023 Research article The Role of Computer Technologies in Structuring Evidence Gathering in Cybercrime Investigations: A Qualitative Analysis In recent decades, law enforcement agencies have increasingly prioritized cybercrime investigations, as evinced by the growing adoption of specialized cybercrime units and personnel. A burgeoning literature has emerged which examines cybercrime units and investigators. Yet, little attention has been given to the role of computers in shaping these investigations. This study addresses this gap through an analysis of qualitative interviews with 47 cybercrime investigative personnel including sworn detectives, civilian analysts, and unit administrators. This analysis confirms and extends prior research by exploring challenges presented by computers to cybercrime investigations including issues surrounding anonymization, encryption, jurisdiction, caseloads, backlogs, data volume, eliciting data from electronic service providers, and the ever-changing technological landscape. Also considered are the advantages offered by such technologies for cybercrime investigations. Computer and network technologies facilitate undercover investigations, provide easy access to global networks and databases, and supply large quantities of evidence to help secure convictions. Finally, this study considers elements of cybercrime investigations not supplanted by computer databases, automation, or network systems. Directions for future research and policy implications are considered.
