Garda Síochána Inspectorate (GSI) (Republic of Ireland) 20/3/2025 Report Breakthrough DNA technique could solve hundreds of cold cases Experts say Y-STR analysis, a key tool in the ‘fight against violence’, is being underutilised in criminal investigations The Telegraph - Subscription at source 20/3/2025 News Police culture, discourse, and the construction of Canadian police officers’ identity Canadian police officers work within a deeply rooted and unique police culture that remains anchored to traditional occupational norms and values often resistant to change. Yet, policing is under pressure from elected officials and the public to meet changing social realities and public expectations. Inevitably, officers experience an identity crisis when they feel the strong and persistent pull of their tradition-bound culture while their services attempt to be more inclusive and progressive. Utilizing critical discourse analysis (CDA) and specifically Fairclough’s dialectical-relations approach, this study explores how identity is constructed and reinforced through discourse within and by police culture to create the idea of what it means to be a cop. Using data from an analysis of semi-structured interviews with 30 currently serving police officers in four Canadian police services, it considers how the language of policing (verbal, written, visual) is used to construct police identity. The data show that through the use of police-specific discourse prior to, during, and after recruitment, police culture retains an all-powerful hold on officers’ identity construction before and during recruitment and throughout their careers. It also represents a barrier to more equitable and inclusive police organizations. Finally, this study explores areas such as training, recruitment, and warrior/guardian debate where change should be considered.

The Irish Times (Republic of Ireland) 20/3/2025 News Abstract policing, Covid-19 and the ‘rural idyll’ in Scotland The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on rural ‘policing’ (broadly defined to include a range of institutions involved in order maintenance) remains relatively under-discussed and under-theorised. The pandemic created particular challenges for these services in rural areas, particularly in the context of increasingly abstract forms of policing following the creation of Police Scotland and other forms of service provision, and the interaction of these with rurally-contingent inequalities. These were especially felt in rural areas, as were concerns about tourism as a possible (social and epidemiological) threat to rural life. Drawing on qualitative data from two projects, we use a novel interdisciplinary synthesis of theories of ‘abstract policing’ and the ‘rural idyll’ to show how the pandemic acted as a flashpoint for a range of concerns about policing and social order in rurality.
