The Spectator 2/11/2022 Feature, Opinion Towards gender equality reform in police organisations: the utility of a social justice approach Recent investigations into sex discrimination, sexual harassment and predatory behaviour within police organisations have led to a range of gender reforms that aim to create more inclusion, respect and safety. These reforms have tended to be female-focused and designed to support greater equality for female police. This paper reports on an interview-based study that sought to understand and address resistance to gender equality reform within a large police organisation in Australia. The paper draws on Nancy Fraser’s model of social justice to consider the capacity of particular reforms to reproduce and/or transform the organisation’s hierarchical structures and masculinised cultures. Fraser’s model is presented as enriching current understandings about how the policy aims of gender equality might be realised in police organisations through a broader focus on supporting political, cultural and economic justice for all. The paper concludes by considering the practice implications of this social justice approach for police organisations.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) 2/11/2022 News The Times view on police recruitment: Rot in the Force A shocking new report in the wake of Sarah Everard’s murder must lead to reform The Times - Subscription at source 2/11/2022 Feature, Opinion Matt Parr: Trust is badly damaged but not beyond repair A series of scandals has struck a hammer blow to public trust in the police — perhaps none more so than the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving officer. It was following her murder that we were asked to inspect police vetting and how forces deal with misogynistic and predatory behaviour. Our report contains many examples of police forces getting it wrong that the public will find shocking. Despite repeated warnings, not enough has been done to improve standards and to stamp out misogyny in policing. The Times - Subscription at source 2/11/2022 Feature, Opinion Again and again, police forces miss chances to root out bad apples Given the litany of failings from today’s report into police vetting and misconduct, one would be hard pressed to pick the most disturbing element. The officer who admitted flashing the same woman seven times in a fortnight would be high on the list, along with the applicants who were recruited despite their links to organised crime, including drug supply.

Mail Online 2/11/2022 News If the mythical ‘Ways and Means Act’ is still active in policing, can it lead to corruption? Police officers are regularly expected to use their discretion, policing skills and street craft to achieve the best outcomes for communities and the wider public; but Policing Lecturer and former police sergeant Barrie Archer fears that finding ways to ‘get the job done’ and make a broken system work can lead to noble cause corruption – or worse.
