Irish Independent (Republic of Ireland) - Subscription at source 8/6/2023 News From the virtual frontlines: law enforcement’s experience with social media in policing activities Several studies have shown that police use social media (e.g., Dekker et al., 2020; Hu & Lovrich, 2019a) and, although research has tended to focus on its use in image management and police visibility (e.g., Kudla & Parnaby, 2018; Schneider, 2016; Tanner et al., 2018), this work has led to new knowledge about the uses of social media and its effects on policing. However, it continues to be important to understand how social media has been integrated into policing activities and how it is perceived by law enforcement agencies. The present study used qualitative data to look at police perspectives on social media, leading to a better understanding of how social media are seen and used by police service employees and the effects of integrating social media into police practices. The analysis has concrete implications for more efficient use of social media by police agencies. CRIMRXIV 8/6/2023 Research article Building Empowerment: The Canadian approach to evidence-based policing In response to what federal and provincial policymakers deemed a crisis surrounding the sustainability of current funding levels for public policing, Canadian governments turned to researchers in pursuit of evidence-based solutions. Several commissioned studies subsequently documented an inescapable conclusion: successive waves of government de-funding of criminological research had significantly gutted domestic capacity to produce the necessary research. In 2015, one of the authors launched the Canadian Society of Evidence-Based Policing (Can-SEBP) with one goal: to grow the Canadian policing research field by creating tools and programs aimed at empowering policing practitioners to generate, consume, commission and/or participate in research on “what works.” In this chapter, we explore the different strategies Can-SEBP employs to foster a culture of learning within Canadian policing, one in which police begin the process of taking ownership in the field police science and academic researchers play a supporting role by helping to encourage that growth.
