The Law Society Gazette 28/6/2022 News Expressing Uncertainty in Criminology: Applying Insights From Scientific Communication to Evidence-Based Policing Scholars and practitioners who develop evidence-based crime policy debate on how best to translate criminological knowledge into better criminal justice practices. These debates highlight the counterpoised problems of over-selling the contribution of scientific evidence; or, alternately, overemphasizing the limitations of science. This challenge attends any attempt to translate research findings into practice; however, and problematically, in criminology this challenge is rarely approached in a theoretically coherent fashion. This article therefore seeks to theorize uncertainty in criminology by examining insights on communicating scientific uncertainty in other fields, and applying these insights specifically to the field of Evidence-Based Policing (EBP). Taking the position that all science is inherently uncertain, we examine the following four aspects of the field: the particular uncertainties of criminology, variance in receptivity to research, the lack of evidence regarding effective communication, and the boundaries of evidence. Building on this analysis, we set out the normative challenge of how researchers should characterize and balance the implications and limits of scientific findings in the decision-making process. Looking ahead, we argue for the need to invest in an empirical project for determining meaningful strategies to express research evidence to decision-makers. Criminology and Criminal Justice 28/6/2022 Research article Patron banning policy and practice in Queensland, Australia: key informant perspectives This paper explores attitudes to and experiences of patron banning policy (which prohibits an individual from entering a nightlife area or venue after engaging in anti-social behaviour) in Queensland, Australia. Key informant interviews were conducted with 66 participants from health, justice, industry, and government sectors across the state. Interviews were semi-structured, and transcripts were examined using thematic analysis. Overall, key informants reported that patron banning provisions helped to keep out customers who cause problems in venues and that ID scanners helped to enforce bans. There was some concern about displacement of banned patrons to other nightlife areas, the discretionary nature of venue bans, the potential for banning notices to be misused, and a general perception that police-imposed bans should be longer than the current 10 days. The majority of interviewees were supportive of patron banning and felt that it could (positively) affect patron behaviours. A number of recommendations were suggested to refine the framing and operation of Queensland’s banning policy. Crime Prevention and Community Safety 28/6/2022 Research article The Impact of Procedure and Filler Similarity on Adolescent Eyewitness Lineup Performance Adolescent eyewitnesses have not been adequately studied. This is problematic given that adolescents are at a heightened risk to be an eyewitness or victim to crime. As a first step in studying adolescent eyewitnesses, the current experiment examined adolescents’ (15- to 18-year-old’s; N = 470) performance on four lineup procedures—simultaneous, sequential, elimination, wildcard—to determine which resulted in the greatest discriminability. Given that police agencies use different methods for selecting fillers in the real world (Police Executive Research Forum 2013), filler similarity was manipulated in order to test the lineups in a more legally realistic manner. Thus, lineups either contained lower or higher similarity fillers. Using d’ as a measure of discriminability, results identified that the wildcard and simultaneous lineups led to the greatest discriminability, while the sequential lineup led to the lowest discriminability. Although the results do not suggest a clear superiority of one lineup procedure over another, what the results do suggest is that the sequential lineup may be the least advantageous to use with adolescents and the wildcard and simultaneous lineups may be the most advantageous.
