RNZ (Radio New Zealand) 14/2/2022 News Preventing male violence in policing (Ep1): Scale, impact and establishing a will to change PolicingTV 14/2/2022 Analysis, Feature, Video Testing the Theoretical Relationship Between the Role of the Society At Large and the Willingness to Adhere to the Police Code of Silence This study examines the relationship between the role of the society at large and the code of silence in China and South Korea. Although both countries embrace Confucianism and have similar geographic, political, and cultural traditions, they have developed quite distinctly in recent years. The data for this study were collected from police officers attending in-service training at national training academies in both countries using the police integrity methodology. The respondents evaluated four scenarios describing examples of police corruption. Our multivariate models demonstrate that, once the police integrity measures and demographic characteristics are controlled for, the country has an independent effect on the respondents’ adherence to the code of silence in all four scenarios. These results suggest that, despite many commonalities in their cultural and political traditions, two countries create different integrity environments.

Sky News 14/2/2022 News A Snitching Enterprise: the Role of Evidence and Incentives on Providing False Secondary Confessions Jailhouse informants are thought to be one of the leading causes of wrongful convictions. The current studies examined community members’ (E1: N = 99; E2: N = 289) willingness to provide false testimony as a jailhouse informant. In E1, participants were all presented a first offer (1-year sentence reduction) to testify as a jailhouse informant. Those who declined were presented up to three additional offers (four total): a complete reduction in fines, total immunity, and financial support in exchange for testimony. In E2, participants were presented with one of two offers (levels 1 or 4). Notably, 27% (E1) and 17% (E2) of participants were willing to falsely testify against another inmate. Willing participants rated themselves as overall less credible and more interested in serving their own interests than unwilling participants. In addition, cognitive networks of participants’ decision-making revealed that participants were motivated primarily by self-interest. These findings provide novel insight into the decision-making of jailhouse informants and are discussed in terms of legal implications.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 14/2/2022 Analysis, Feature The Delivery of Death Notifications, Associated Stress and Use of Aftercare in Police Officers: A Mixed-Method Approach The police profession involves numerous risk factors which can have an impact on the officers’ health. Delivering death notifications is one of the most stressful tasks with lack of training and poor aftercare. We analyzed data of 142 German officers regarding their experiences with death notifications, use of aftercare, and access to training. Officers feel most stressed by the interaction with the bereaved and the subjectively perceived lack of competence in dealing with them. Three-quarters would like more support after stressful operations, and over 80% reported the need of aftercare, although this is only offered to 40%. Support services as well as training are rarely used, due to lack of trust and fear of stigmatization. Content perceived as helpful for future training could be identified. The results clearly show the challenges of the police profession and highlight the lack of aftercare. Training and adequate support must be provided and become accessible. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 14/2/2022 Research article The Effectiveness of Standardized Investigative Tactics in Clearing Non-Fatal Shooting Investigations Much research explores the correlates of clearing fatal shooting incidents. It is suggested that common investigative resources and tactics, such as the number of detectives and witness interviews, may be associated with clearing both fatal and non-fatal shooting cases. This study examines the effect of a standardized list of investigative tools in the clearing of non-fatal shooting incidents. For this study, detectives from the Buffalo Police Department’s Gun Violence Unit completed an “Investigative Checklist” for non-fatal shootings that occurred between November 2019 and December 2020 (N = 234 usable cases). Bivariate correlation analysis shows a strong association between uncooperative victims and a detective conducting multiple canvases as part of the investigation. Logistic regression shows that examining a suspect’s social media information, and detectives accessing patrol car reports, contributed to successfully clearing a non-fatal shooting case. An uncooperative victim was negatively associated with clearing a case. Police practitioners should be aware, based on the findings of this and other research, that a small number of investigative techniques contribute to non-fatal shooting case clearance rates. It may be necessary for police agencies to construct detective units, and focus on a narrow set of investigative tactics, in a way that improved clearance rates in non-fatal shootings.
