Police Oracle - Subscription at source 16/3/2023 News Engaging non-policing partners to prevent or respond to crime Multi-agency policing partnerships provide agencies with the opportunity to address underlying social issues that contribute to crime and allow for longer-term solutions. One partnership model is third-party policing (TPP). TPP theory was conceptualised as a way of engaging non-police agencies through the use of legal levers to perform a crime prevention or control role. The theory assumes that (1) police agencies seek out non-police partners because of their legal levers; (2) police are aware of and understand the legal levers available to partners; (3) the application of these legal levers is co-opted or coerced; and (4) police are the ones doing the co-opting or coercing. However, whether these assumptions occur in such a clear manner has received limited attention in the literature. This study used an international case study methodology involving interviews with police officers and representatives from partner agencies across three TPP partnerships in Queensland, Australia and the United Kingdom. The results indicate that there is limited knowledge and understanding of the availability, use and activation of legal levers of other agencies among police officers. Legal levers are often self-activated by a partner agency after becoming aware of new information, rather than through coercion or co-option by police. This study further shows that activation of legal levers by police agencies is not always possible, requiring activation of another agency’s initially, and partner agencies are often the ones doing the co-opting or coercion. The findings suggest that legal levers are not so easily applied as suggested in TPP theory.

Police Professional 16/3/2023 News Women Police and COVID-19 Pandemic in Kashmir Women police form an integral part of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and have played an important role in the crisis created as a result of COVID-19. They have been working on the frontline with their male counterparts in every area like maintenance of law and order situation by looking for any violations, enforcement of the standard operating procedures (SOPs), protecting healthcare workers, accompanying health workers for the community sampling, awareness of the public, scrutinizing and facilitating the migrants and students, maintaining the databases of COVID-19-positive patients in the communities etc. We have used a qualitative research approach to explore and analyse the experiences of women police during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kashmir. Both face-to-face and telephonic interviews were conducted with the participants depending on the feasibility of the participants and the researchers to conduct the interviews. Two main themes evolved from our study which include socio-personal problems and work-related problems. Various sub-themes like social ostracism, unavailability of transport facility, familial challenges, risk of contracting the virus and negative impact on the family, negative impact on personal health, erratic work schedules and excessive workload emerged from the two main themes. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology 16/3/2023 Research article Perspectives from Canadian Domestic Violence Police Specialists on the Challenges in Providing Safety Planning and Risk Management for Victims and Their Children Abstract: Domestic violence (DV) impacts the safety and well-being of adult victims and their children who are exposed to the violence. Police play a critical role in providing intervention strategies to protect the welfare of victims of DV. Police training, policy and procedures on intervention strategies are often adult-centric leaving little direct police interaction with children. Objective: The objective of the current study is to identify the challenges police officers perceive in providing effective safety planning and risk management strategies for domestic violence victims and their children. Participants, Setting & Methods: Interviews with domestic violence police specialists (n = 12) in Ontario, Canada were used to gather information on police officers’ perspective on the challenges they face in executing safety planning and risk management strategies. A dual deductive/inductive approach to a thematic analysis at the sematic level was used (Braun and Clarke, Qualitative Research in Psychology 3:77–101, 2006) to explore themes. Results: The major themes that emerged from the interviews were: (a) challenges with the broader economic/social and judicial system; (b) challenges created by organizational factors; and (c) individual challenges affiliated with police officers’ perception of barriers they encountered. These challenges all impact the police response to providing intervention strategies to DV victims and their child(ren). Conclusions: This study highlights the need for police organizations to formalize training, policies, and directives specific to safety planning and risk management for adult victims of DV and their children.
