[pdf] Policing Authority (Republic of Ireland) 19/12/2023 Report An Evaluation of Victims’ Needs in the Criminal Justice System In October 2022, Crest Advisory was commissioned by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) to support its joint inspection with His Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) and His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation (HMIP). The joint inspection focuses on how effectively the criminal justice system (CJS) meets the needs of victims of crime at every stage of their journey. To review this question Crest Advisory designed a two-phase research project. The first phase involved a literature review of victims’ experiences of the CJS. The second phase developed on the literature review findings through primary research with victims of crime. Crest Advisory 19/12/2023 Report When policing feels like a thankless task, finding time to enjoy the festive season can be more important than ever There seems to have been little festive cheer in the build-up to Christmas this year, with international events and home-grown politicians leaving police a target for headlines and commentators, and little recognition of the everyday efforts to prevent crime and keep the public safe; against that sort of backdrop, it’s even more crucial that officers and staff get the opportunity to celebrate, relax and recharge over the Christmas period, says Policing Insight Editor Keith Potter. Policing Insight 19/12/2023 Feature, Opinion The Impact of Collective Efficacy, and Policing Practices on Perceived Crime Problem: Evidence from Neighborhoods of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Despite the extensive research conducted on crime in neighborhoods, the impact of collective efficacy and policing practices at the same level on residents’ perception of crime have not received sufficient attention, particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia. This gap in knowledge represents an opportunity for further exploration and could help inform more effective ways to address perception of crime problems. Thus, the present study investigates the impact of collective efficacy and policing practices on residents’ perception of crime problems in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The research involved administering surveys to 616 residents drawn systematically from 11 neighborhoods in Addis Ababa. OLS procedure was employed to determine the influence of collective efficacy and policing practices on perceived crime problem. Results showed that, in the context of Addis Ababa, collective efficacy significantly predicts residents’ perceptions of crime problem. Further, from policing practices, police procedural justice evaluation affects residents’ perception of crime problem. The results of this research have significant theoretical and practical implications and offer valuable perspectives for law enforcement officials to mitigate the perception of crime within the community. European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research - Subscription at source 19/12/2023 Research article Operationalizing deployment time in police calls for service Analyses of emergency calls for service data in the United States suggest that around 50% of dispatched police deployment time is spent on crime-related incidents. The remainder of time is spent in a social service capacity: attending well-being checks and resolving disturbances, for instance. These findings have made a considerable contribution to the discourse around public perceptions of the police and the distribution of public funds towards (or away) from law enforcement. Yet, an outstanding issue remains. No investigation has been undertaken into whether findings are robust to the different ways in which ‘time spent’ is operationalized in these studies. Using dispatch data for Amsterdam during 2019, this study compares three operationalizations of ‘time spent’. Additionally, in order to provide some context on the potential mechanisms through which these different operationalizations might yield different results, we report on dispatch numbers per incident category and provide an initial exploration into ‘multi-dispatch’ incident types. We find that general proportional breakdowns are fairly robust to the time measure used. However, for some incident categories (e.g. Health) and incident types (e.g. Shootings), analyzed in isolation, the results are not robust to the different operationalizations. We propose that the mechanism explaining this lack of robustness can be traced to the high dispatch numbers for specific incident categories and types, particularly those with an imminent threat to life.

Mail Online 19/12/2023 News Inside the police force scouring the internet to save abused children EUROPE: EUROPOL HEADQUARTERS, THE HAGUE — “Please knock. Do not enter,” said the sign on the door of Europe’s heavily-secured law enforcement headquarters in the Netherlands. Inside, detectives were staring at their computers, examining a video of a newborn girl being molested. A group of international detectives was trying to identify details — a toy, a clothing label, a sound — that would allow them to rescue the girl and arrest those who sexually abused her, recorded it and then shared it on the internet. Politico 19/12/2023 Feature Meeting the needs of victims in the criminal justice system An inspection of how well the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Probation Service support victims of crime. This inspection aimed to assess how well the criminal justice system meets the needs of victims, from when a victim reports an offence to after the offender has been convicted. It was a joint inspection by HMICFRS, His Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate and His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation. In this inspection, we assessed whether the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Probation Service understand what victims need, whether they meet those needs and whether they provide a good quality service. We found that for many victims this wasn’t the case. This report sets out our findings.

BBC 19/12/2023 News Two-tier public order policing exists – but based on risk, threat and intelligence, not race and politics The significant increase in public protests and marches, particularly since the start of the current conflict in the Middle East, has brought with it accusations of a ‘two-tier’ approach to policing supporters; but as Policing Insight’s Graham Wettone – whose 30-year policing career included many large public order events – explains, while those different tiers, tactics and approaches exist, they are based on threat, risk, information and intelligence, rather than race, religion or political persuasion.
