Herald Sun (Australia) - Subscription at source 9/2/2025 News Does Race Matter: An Analysis of the Perceptions of the Roles of School Police Following a series of highly publicized school attacks in the 1990s, school resource officers (SROs) became a prominent feature of schools. Organizations such as the National Association of School of Resource Officers have advocated for SROs to provide more resources to schools than just law enforcement, including serving as educators and informal counselors. Current research has failed to consider how stakeholders perceive SROs’ roles in schools and whether these perceptions vary by race. The current study explores how SROs, school staff, and students perceive the role of SROs. Descriptive statistics reveal that, with the exception of SROs, most staff and students perceive SROs primarily as law enforcers. Using t-tests and regression analyses, the results suggest that the perceptions of SROs as educators and informal counselors vary by the stakeholder's race.

CBC News (Canada) 8/2/2025 News Crime Stories: Assessing the Effects of Crime-Related Media on Support for Police Interest in crime-related media has long existed; however, the availability and dissemination of this media has changed with technological advancements. These advancements have led to media availability through digital sources such as online news archives, streaming media, and podcasts. This has increased accessibility due to the abundance of publicly available media sources. The current study examines the support for law enforcement among higher education students, focusing on their perceptions of police and their engagement with crime-related media. Surveys were administered to students in introductory criminal justice and communication and media studies courses at a public university in the Midwest. Results showed that students who viewed law enforcement as more effective were generally more supportive of the police. In terms of crime-related media, those who consumed true crime/documentaries and podcasts indicated greater support for law enforcement. These findings highlight how media can influence perceptions of law enforcement and how this is additionally altered with technological advancements in media consumption habits. Future work should examine multiple media sources to understand the dynamics of developing informed and balanced perspectives of law enforcement.
