Policing Insight - Subscription at source 27/2/2024 Analysis, Feature Police self-legitimacy: findings from a study of police recruits In his book Why People Obey the Law (1990), the psychologist Tom Tyler sought to understand how the public evaluate police legitimacy and whether those evaluations affect people’s attitudes and behaviours. Tyler’s work has contributed to an explosion of police legitimacy scholarship, leading many policing agencies to adopt procedural justice training.

BSC Policing Network 27/2/2024 Analysis, Feature Gove urged to protect domestic abuse services funding amid councils crisis Commissioner says abuse survivors will be placed at risk if services are cut in England and Wales The Guardian 27/2/2024 News Motives and pathways for joining outlaw motorcycle gangs We analysed 39 interviews with former outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG) members in Queensland to explore how and why they joined OMCGs. OMCG members were usually recruited through existing social networks. Screening was key to the recruitment process, and typically involved current and aspiring OMCG members getting to know one another and establishing rapport and trust. Recruitment was usually a lengthy process, supported by formal mechanisms including sponsorship by existing members and the enforcement of prospect or nominee periods. While a handful of more recent recruits were motivated by notoriety and profit, the brotherhood and camaraderie of affiliating with like-minded peers was the dominant motive for joining. Often this intersected with feelings of social isolation and disconnection from other family and peer networks. Findings highlight the importance of intervening with men early in their recruitment process, targeting high-risk settings for recruitment and reducing the attraction and visibility of OMCGs to prevent recruitment. Australian Institute of Criminology (Australia) 27/2/2024 Research article Home Affairs Committee Report: Policing of protests Third Report of Session 2023–24. The UK has seen a new round of political protests since the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas on 7 October 2023 and the subsequent conflict in Gaza. We first considered the topic of policing of protests in May 2023, following the protests surrounding the King’s Coronation. However, the successive and large-scale nature of the Israel-Gaza protests, coupled with the political tension due to a planned Israel-Gaza protest on Armistice Day, meant that we felt it was right to revisit this topic. We were particularly concerned to see protests outside the homes and offices of elected representatives.
