Criminal Justice Practitioners’ Perceptions of Eyewitnesses with Anxiety and Depression In the UK, witnesses with a mental health disorder are considered ‘vulnerable’ by the Criminal Justice System and consequently eligible for support within the Achieving Best Evidence guidance (recommendations produced in England and Wales to assist criminal justice practitioners in supporting vulnerable, intimidated and significant witnesses during the criminal justice process). However, it is unclear how the evidence and credibility of such witnesses, especially those with anxiety and depression, are perceived by criminal justice practitioners. The present study aimed to explore how practitioners in England and Wales perceive witnesses with anxiety and depression and the current guidance and training on mental health. One hundred and five practitioners including police officers (32), court staff (60) and registered intermediaries (13) completed an online questionnaire which examined their personal perceptions of, and attitudes towards, witnesses with anxiety and depression as well as the level and effectiveness of current guidance and training. Based on previous literature, it was anticipated that practitioners may hold biased perceptions of witnesses with anxiety and depression, and current guidance and training on mental health may be insufficient. The findings revealed that practitioners frequently encountered such witnesses, and prior knowledge of mental health issues influenced their perceptions with many reporting that such knowledge caused them to question the reliability of their evidence. Additionally, practitioners perceived the Achieving Best Evidence guidance including the use of special measures to be appropriate. However, they perceived that training around mental health required improvement. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Do Body-Worn Cameras Improve Community Perceptions of the Police? Results From A Controlled Experimental Evaluation Outfitting police officers with body-worn cameras (BWCs) has been suggested to improve police-community relations. This study evaluates whether the deployment of BWCs on NYPD officers impacted resident perceptions of the police. A cluster randomized controlled trial design was used to test the influence of BWCs on resident perceptions of the NYPD in treatment precincts relative to control precincts. Dual-frame randomly selected telephone surveys were used to collect pre-intervention and post-intervention resident perception data. We find no statistically significant differences between BWC treatment and control precincts in general perceptions of the NYPD or the average assessment of police officer behavior among those who have had recent encounters with the NYPD. Strong community support for BWC adoption and citizen expectations for videos of controversial policing events suggests the continued use of this technology. However, BWCs should be implemented with other evidence-based programs to enhance police-community relations. Journal of Experimental Criminology - Subscription at source	22/11/2021 Research article
The @WeCops Debate: Taser – increasing training, widening deployment, and improving understanding The police use of Taser has been a topic of much debate, with widening training and deployment, the intense scrutiny, and a lack of understanding about less lethal weapons among both the media and the public some of the key issues; many of those points were raised during a recent #WeCops debate on less lethal weapons, which is summarised in this article by PC Francesca Tamblyn, Taser Lead Instructor for Dorset Police and one of the hosts of the debate.
