Police Professional 6/3/2025 News Police cynicism: a state-of-the-art literature review The level of cynicism officers experience can directly impact their day-to-day decisions, especially in policing’s currently strained climate. This paper provides an updated systematic review of the predictors, outcomes and conceptualizations of police cynicism within the relevant literature. A systematic review was conducted utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach. Results from the 56 articles published after Langworthy’s 1987 systematic review are included. It was hypothesized that due to the current climate, police cynicism may be more discussed within the literature, especially when examined with the “Ferguson Effect.” Researchers conceptualize police cynicism in various ways outside the traditional measures. Officers who were more cynical were more likely to maintain tougher law enforcement orientations and may have been more likely to engage in problem behaviors. Lack of internal support was related to organizational cynicism. Support for the Ferguson effect and demographic-related variables (tenure, racial identity and gender) on police cynicism yielded mixed findings despite the field’s inclination of their augmenting impact. More research needs to be conducted on operationalizing and conceptualizing police cynicism. Researchers should establish standardized measures of police cynicism to help disaggregate results, as well as recruit from multiple agencies to increase generalizability. Policing: An International Journal - Subscription at source 6/3/2025 Research article Exploring social acceptability in urban crime prevention: perspectives from six EU cities This study assesses the social acceptability of innovative urban security strategies implemented in six European cities (Riga, Stuttgart, Lisbon, Nice, Turin, and Rotterdam) within the EU-funded IcARUS project during 2024. Using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT), two sessions per city engaged local stakeholders (n = 26), blending technical expertise with the lived experiences of local citizens. This participatory approach fostered in-depth discussions, prioritisation of ideas, and a deeper understanding of the social benefits and challenges shaping the acceptability of each tool. Key benefits included strengthened trust between communities and public institutions, enhanced safety perceptions, and greater civic engagement. However, challenges such as resource constraints, political instability, and communication gaps threatened long-term sustainability. By integrating insights from diverse contexts, this research highlights the importance of co-designed crime prevention solutions. This research offers a clear roadmap for fostering trust, inclusion, and resilience in urban security, guiding future initiatives toward sustainable and socially accepted outcomes. CRIMRXIV 6/3/2025 Research article Moving targets: an examination of departmental deadly force policies and police shootings at vehicles The current study applies variation in departmental deadly force policies by examining constraining and obligating language for a sub-set of police shootings of citizens involving a reportedly weaponized vehicle. We performed a descriptive analysis of all fatal and injurious police shootings from 2015 to 2020 from the Gun Violence Archive. Using a sample of the 100 largest local police departments in the USA, we explored whether constraining policy language that place prohibitions on officers shooting at moving vehicles—as well as obligating policy language (e.g. moving out of the way if possible)—were associated with fewer of these specific types of shootings. Analyses found a negative association between departments with constraining language regulating firearms use and the sub-set of injuries from police shootings at vehicles. There was no association between obligating policy language regarding avoiding or moving out of the way and police shootings involving weaponized vehicles.
