BBC 5/2/2026 News Toronto police chief promises ‘no stone unturned’ amid corruption scandal CANADA: Calls are mounting for an independent investigation into the Toronto Police Service after seven officers and one retired constable were arrested and charged in a months-long corruption probe with ties to the tow-trucking industry.

BBC 5/2/2026 News Jihadist terrorists as early adopters: a critical examination of terrorist adoption of emerging internet technologies The idea that jihadist groups are ‘early adopters’ of emerging internet technologies has shaped counterterrorism policies and public discourse. However, this assumption often relies on anecdotal evidence rather than systematic analysis. This study critically examines whether jihadist actors genuinely adopt digital platforms earlier than the general population or whether their behaviour aligns with broader technological trends. Using a dataset of all individuals arrested in Spain for jihadist-related online activities between 2001 and 2024, this research assesses the adoption timelines of various internet platforms. The findings indicate that contrary to popular belief, jihadist actors generally adopt mainstream technologies once they are already widely used by the public. While some encrypted messaging services, such as Telegram, were embraced relatively early due to their operational security advantages, most platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, were used by these individuals only at the same time asmass adoption. These results highlight a key tension in jihadist digital strategy: the need to balance security with audience reach. Understanding these patterns can refine counterterrorism efforts by focusing on how extremists adapt to digital environments rather than assuming a uniform pattern of early adoption. Journal of Policing Intelligence and Counter Terrorism 5/2/2026 Research article Who are the Toronto police officers accused of assisting organized crime?

Policing violence against women and girls There is limited research on how police engage with racially minoritised victims and survivors of violence against women and girls (VAWG), particularly VAWG that occurs at the intersection of race and gender. This article begins to address that gap examining police handling of these cases, as well as police constructions of the barriers they face and what works. Drawing on a mixed-methods approach – including focus groups with 52 police officers across two police forces, analysis of 55 case files involving VAWG (such as rape and sexual assault), and bodycam footage of police callouts – we examine current police practices and accounts about these practices, focusing on cases involving racially minoritised women and girls, and assess why these practices often fall short of victim/survivor needs and expectations. We highlight examples of good practice, alongside challenges and knowledge gaps, to suggest a path forward for more effective and equitable policing.

The private sector role in particular has, however, received little academic attention, in part because it has not been fully conceptualised, presenting significant challenges to research despite extant literature suggesting it is crucial to address money laundering, fraud and organised crime. The research presented here will address this challenge by: (1) Conceptualising the private sector roles created by POCA; and (2) Presenting a new methodological tool to identify those who carry out the role.
