Global News (Canada) 18/10/2022 News, Video ‘A genuine one usually sticks out a mile’: policing coercive control in England and Wales In 2015, legislation was enacted in England and Wales to criminalise coercive control. While there has been considerable debate on the merits of the law, there has been little empirical study of its use in practice. This paper presents findings from a focused ethnography conducted in two police forces in England. Field observations with first response officers and specialist investigators reveal structural and social-cultural contexts that mitigate against successful implementation of the law. Specifically, we identify officer knowledge and attitudes, resourcing and the framing of the legislation itself as impeding its wider use. While we did not observe the unintended consequences feared by some observers, we conclude that systemic change is required if the theoretical benefits of the legislation are to be fully realised.

CTV News (Canada) 18/10/2022 News, Video Victim and third-party reporting of violent victimization to the police in incidents involving victims with disabilities Objectives: Reporting an incident to police is a key event in the criminal legal process. The current study centers types of disability and how this may shape victim and third-party reporting while considering well-known correlates. Methods: Using the National Crime Victimization Survey (2016–2020), the current study examines police reporting in incidents involving victims with disabilities compared to victims without disabilities. This study not only considers whether the victim reported, but also third-party reporting to the police. We also explore the reasons why individuals with disabilities did not report incidents to police. Results: Incidents involving victims with cognitive disabilities were less likely to be reported to the police by the victim. There were no statistical differences in third-party reporting for any of the forms of disability considered. Notably, in incidents involving both Deaf/Blind victims and victims with physical disabilities, victims were more likely to cite perceptions of police ineffectiveness as a reason for not reporting. In incidents with victims with physical or cognitive disabilities, fear of reprisal from the offender was a more salient concern. Conclusions: This study underscores the importance of examining the victimization experiences of marginalized populations and their willingness to engage with the criminal legal system.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 18/10/2022 Feature Undercover Officers’ Perception of Recruitment and Assignment Undercover operations constitute a compartmentalized division of police work. Because of its clandestine nature, this area is researched infrequently. We therefore have limited knowledge about the culture of law enforcement officers involved in covert work. The purpose of this qualitative, multiple-case study was to understand undercover officers and their perceptions of recruitment, assignment, and job satisfaction. Former undercover officers from the US Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations were recruited. Data were collected through interviews, a demographic questionnaire, field notes, and, when available, archival documents. Undercover officers maintained an elevated level of job satisfaction while working undercover regardless of their relationships with their supervisors. Participants reported lower levels of job satisfaction when their undercover work ended. Law enforcement leadership should design and/or update undercover operation programs, which delineate the minimum work experience or time on the job that a law enforcement officer must have before they can be recruited and assigned to work undercover. In addition, a robust “after care” program should be developed for undercover officers after their covert assignment ends. If undercover law enforcement officers at DHS continue to report low levels of job satisfaction, their performance could suffer, leading to a degradation of national security.
