Neutrality is fundamental to INTERPOL’s work and existence, even, indeed especially, when member countries are engaged in conflict. It is a position that INTERPOL has maintained consistently. INTERPOL is a global technical police cooperation organization, which enables its 195 member countries to exchange information on crime and criminals. Article 2 of INTERPOL’s Constitution calls on the Organization to maintain police cooperation and ensure communication channels remain open. INTERPOL’s mandate does not include issuing sanctions or taking punitive measures, nor is there any provision in the Constitution for the suspension or exclusion of a member country.

Mail Online 10/3/2022 News The Reveal Procedure: A Way to Enhance Evidence of Innocence From Police Lineups Objective: Recent work has established that high-confidence identifications (IDs) from a police lineup can provide compelling evidence of guilt. By contrast, when a witness rejects the lineup, it may offer only limited evidence of innocence. Moreover, confidence in a lineup rejection often provides little additional information beyond the rejection itself. Thus, although lineups are useful for incriminating the guilty, they are less useful for clearing the innocent of suspicion. Here, we test predictions from a signal-detection-based model of eyewitness ID to create a lineup that is capable of increasing information about innocence. Hypotheses: Our model-based simulations suggest that high-confidence rejections should exonerate many more innocent suspects and do so with higher accuracy if, after a witness rejects a lineup but before they report their confidence, they are shown the suspect and asked, “How sure are you that this person is not the perpetrator?” Law and Human Behavior - Registration at source 10/3/2022 Research article Strategic Review of Policing: Police tech needs better ethical scrutiny The Strategic Review of Policing confirms the central role that tech will be playing going forward, but warns of the need for greater ethical scrutiny to ensure public trust Computer Weekly 10/3/2022 News Women and girls are being failed by bias and stereotyping in our criminal justice system I’ve spoken to countless rape survivors who felt that their credibility was being tested and challenged before any consideration of the actions and behaviour of the suspect The Independent 10/3/2022 Feature, Opinion Continuing professional development: When does learning happen?

The Washington Post 9/3/2022 Analysis, Feature Small & Rural Agency Crisis Response: A National Survey and Case Studies USA: The National Policing Institute, with support from Arnold Ventures, conducted a study to understand how small and rural law enforcement agencies respond to calls involving people who are in crisis. The study involved a national survey of more than 7,500 small and rural agencies in the United States, with 380 agencies, representing 44 states, submitting completed surveys. Detailed case studies were then conducted on eight of the responding agencies to identify how they respond to people in crisis, what their typical challenges are, and how they address those challenges. National Policing Institute (USA) 9/3/2022 Report Evidence-based policing: A review of its adoption and use by police agencies in the United States of America USA: It has been claimed that evidence-based research plays an important role in policing (Knutsson, 2017; Telep and Lum, 2014; Punch, 2015) because it is able to distinguish what will work in policing (see Sherman, 1998, 2013, 2015). The awareness of evidence-based practices and research in policing can be traced back to a lecture that was given by Sherman to the Police Foundation in 1998, where he asserted that “police practices should be based on scientific evidence about what works best” (p. 2). Since the lecture, a movement that has been led by both practitioners and academics has been established, and advocates are using the findings from evidence-based scientific research methods to guide the development of police policy and to assist in police decision-making (Goode and Lumsden 2016; Herrington 2016; Huey and Ricciardelli, 2016; Lum and Koper 2017; Stanko and Dawson 2016). It has also been claimed that the increase in interest in the concept has reached such a level that “examples of the growth of evidence-based policing abound” (Sherman, 2013, p. 379).
