On the Relationship Between Police Force Presence and Crime in Mexico: A Spatial Analysis This study seeks to contribute to the literature on the deterrence effect of police on crime by looking at the dynamic between police force presence (number of officers) and criminal behavior on a state level in Mexico. In order to do this, we estimate a panel data pooled ordinary least-squares model, a spatial Durbin model, and a spatial error model to analyze the spatial distribution of police force presence and the behavior of two categories of robberies – street and non-street – between 2009 and 2017. Our results show a positive relationship between the number of assigned officers and criminal behavior; however, this correlation does not derive from either a transversal or temporal relationship between states. This result has implications for state security policies as it suggests that the deployment of police in high crime areas, although responsive in character, has no particular impact on criminal behavior.

“There Was No Plan in Place to Get Us Help”: Strategies For Improving Mental Health Service Utilization Among Law Enforcement Police experience a documented, elevated need for mental health (MH) care due to the significant chronic stressors and acute traumatic experiences that characterize police work. Yet, many barriers prevent officers from accessing and engaging fully in MH treatment. The purpose of this study is to understand the idiosyncratic officer-perceived barriers and facilitators to MH service utilization to generate strategies for increasing the accessibility of MH resources. Heeding the call for more qualitative work in this line of inquiry, we used thematic analysis of in-depth, semi-structured interviews with a sample of 48 U.S. police officers to examine how officers came to initiate MH services, why they chose to engage or not engage such resources, and what organizational and supervisory factors promoted service utilization. Officers’ narratives show that police leadership should strive to (1) alleviate fear of negative professional consequences by addressing structural stigma, (2) improve agency culture and social norms around mental health care by focusing on prevention and resilience, and (3) emphasize the development of relevant and trustworthy MH care.

Vagaries and Challenges Confronting Police Accountability in the South African Post-Colony As Revealed By Recent Commissions of Inquiry This paper takes inspiration from David Bayley’s recognition that Commissions of Inquiry yield useful archival material for investigating the challenges for police accountability. Guided by his spirit of inquiry, this paper presents three recent Commissions of Inquiry in South Africa (the Khayelitsha Commission of Inquiry and the Inquiry into the events at Marikana; and the yet to be completed Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture) and considers how each have shed light on the organisational woes and policy conundrums confronting the police and policing in South Africa. In turn, these Commissions have yielded spaces for (re-)engaging issues relating to the structure, function and governance of the police. In doing so, the deliberations of these Commissions have in interesting ways interfaced with concerns raised in both public debates and scholarly analysis.

Building Collaborative Evidence-Based Frameworks For Criminal Justice Policy Researcher–policymaker/practitioner partnerships (RPPs) have emerged as a successful tool for translating research into policy and practice. However, the available research has focused on RPPs with law enforcement and correctional agencies. Notably absent are studies that describe and evaluate RPPs between researchers and legislative bodies. Specifically, questions remain about the establishment, unique constraints, best practices for effective implementation, and sustainability of partnerships between researchers and policymakers. This study contributes to the literature by describing a unique RPP between a university and a state legislature. Through this retrospective case analysis, we describe the steps taken to initiate the partnership, its implementation, and outcomes. Importantly, in the context of the prior research, we describe the lessons learned, next steps, and implications for partnerships with policymakers.

How Yammer helps internal engagement One of the key benefits of the role out of the Microsoft 365 suite via the National Enabling Programme is the increased opportunities for colleagues to be connect and share. This is rightly focused around Teams and the structures we use across policing to deliver operational services, but how can we leverage the clear desire and needs of officers and staff to collaborate wider across the force. Yammer is the enterprise social media platform included in the standard build of the NEP. It's within the blueprint and allows force users to engage with wider 'communities' within the force.
