BBC 4/3/2026 News The strains of service: defensive othering and coping with sociopolitical stressors among law enforcement The American public has, over the last decade, experienced a social reckoning with policing and the relationship between law enforcement and their communities has changed dramatically as a result. The current study presents results from ethnographic field observations of a de-escalation training program and 15 semi-structured interviews with law enforcement who recently received the training. These analyses present the first application of the theory of defensive othering to policing, finding that officers engage in cognitive coping strategies to separate themselves from high-profile instances of misconduct and nationwide calls for reform. Officers utilize several separation techniques to remove themselves from the image of bad policing and in doing so, support training programs and new practices without acknowledging a broader, systemic problem. The practical and managerial implications for policing organizations and training efforts are also explored in the context of a rapidly changing profession and national calls for reform.

Global News (Canada) 4/3/2026 News ‘It feels a bit more sinister’: Police perception of intimate partner violence in the context of socio-economic status After half a century of grass-roots advocacy and academic research, coercive or controlling behaviour (CCB) is still not widely understood or recognised as the most pervasive form of intimate partner violence (IPV). Since the criminalisation of CCB, the police have been a key agency in victim support in the UK, yet effective response remains a work in progress. This qualitative study focuses on the cultural narratives which influence individual officers in their interactions with victim-survivors of CCB. Critical discourse analysis of in-depth interviews with officers reveals that socio-economic status is a significant factor in perception of IPV: in lower socio-economic households IPV is more likely to be interpreted as situational and episodic, while in higher socio-economic households it is more likely to be interpreted as a deliberate pattern of CCB. This finding suggests that cultural narratives and assumptions should be unpacked as part of officer education and development on CCB.

The Anglo-Celt (Republic of Ireland) 4/3/2026 News ‘Please put your statistics where we can see them’: Data and state of research on German police use of firearms The use of firearms by the police in Germany lacks systematic research, despite its significance for understanding police work and accountability. This paper examines police firearm use through exploratory research, official statistics, and civil society data sources, contextualising findings within international police research. Unlike the United States, German research shows significant gaps and relies mainly on limited official statistics. Civil society initiatives attempt to fill these gaps, but their coverage remains incomplete. The paper analyses discrepancies between data sources, identifies research gaps and concludes that systematic research programmes and improved data transparency are essential for evidence-based policy and accountability.
