Policing Insight - Subscription at source 25/7/2022 Feature, Opinion Emotional labour demands and work engagement in Portuguese police officers Grounded in the Emotional Labour Theory, we aim to study the relationship between emotional demands (the expression of positive emotions and suppression of negative emotions) and work engagement in a sample of Portuguese police officers. We intend to explore the possible effects of these emotional demands on work engagement and ways of preventing and/or mitigating its impact. When analysing the studies conducted in the Portuguese police context, we found a gap regarding emotions and/or emotional regulation. Accordingly, a sample of 924 Portuguese police officers from the Public Security Police (PSP) answered the Emotion Work Requirements Scale and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale voluntarily. Through correlation and multiple linear regression, we found a relationship between these emotional demands toward different interpersonal interactions and work engagement. We discuss these results, providing suggestions for field intervention and clues for future research. Police Practice and Research 25/7/2022 Research article Police ride-along programs: exploring student perceptions In recent years, police agencies across the United States have been facing increasing scrutiny from the public. Consequently, police organizations have been encouraged to refocus their attention on garnering a positive image. While ride-along programs have existed since the 1950s and have been aimed at promoting a positive police image, no research in recent years has tested whether ride-along programs serve this purpose effectively. Using qualitative essay responses and a pre/post-survey design across four cohorts of introductory-level policing classes at one university, this study sheds light on the extent to which police ride-along programs impact the way respondents perceived police image and the profession in general. The current study found that while the sample largely already had positive perceptions of the police, these perceptions were often further reinforced, occasionally challenged, and became more nuanced after ride-alongs. These findings have important implications for practitioners and scholars. Police Practice and Research 25/7/2022 Research article Self-Defense and Police Reporting of Intimate Partner Violent Victimization: A Comparison of White, Black, and Hispanic Women Victims Although the use of self-defense is common in incidents of intimate partner violence (IPV), correlates of self-protective behaviors in IPV are less known. Furthermore, while research has examined the unintended consequence of dual arrest as a result of using self-defense in IPV incidents, research has not examined whether self-defense is associated with the likelihood of reporting the victimization to the police. The purpose of this study is to first examine the racial differences in the use of self-defense in incidents of IPV. Second, this study examines the relationship between the use of physical self-defense and formal help-seeking (i.e., calling the police) and whether those relationships vary across race/ethnicity for White, Black, and Hispanic women. Using a large nationally representative sample of IPV incidents in the United States, this study found that incidents with Black female victims were more likely to feature physical self-defense compared to incidents with White female victims. Furthermore, incidents with Black female victims were more likely to be reported to the police. There was a positive relationship between physical self-defense and reporting to the police for Black women and an inverse relationship between physical self-defense and reporting to the police for Hispanic women. Journal of Interpersonal Violence 25/7/2022 Research article Perceptions of School Resource Officers: Protectors or Prosecutors ? Since the 1990s there has been a significant rise in the number of police officers in schools. There have been growing concerns regarding the effects of school resource officers (SRO) on students’ long-term outcomes and whether or not they are an effective aspect of school safety. Public opinion, especially among key stakeholder groups, impacts policy and practice decisions, and, therefore, there is a need to examine and synthesize the current state of the literature on stakeholder perceptions of SROs. We conducted a systematic review of the literature regarding student, teacher, principal, parent, and SRO perceptions of the role and effectiveness of SROs. The findings across thirty-one publications suggest that key stakeholder groups largely report SROs as a positive presence within schools. Findings are mixed across studies, however, and key differences in perceptions of law enforcement among important school stakeholder populations are discussed.
