Police Professional 27/1/2026 News New study confirms that despite declining trust, when people feel at risk they still turn to the police A new study by researchers from the ESRC Vulnerability & Policing Futures Research Centre into when and why members of the public call the police has found that despite concerns over declining levels of trust, when people feel at risk or vulnerable they will still turn to the police for help – although improved availability of other agencies could help to reduce demand – as two of the report’s authors, Professor Ben Bradford and Dr David Rowlands, explained to Policing Insight’s Sarah Gibbons. Policing Insight - Subscription at source 27/1/2026 Analysis, Feature, Interview Governance Through Perception: Rethinking Evaluation in Police-Led Youth Programs The leaders of police-led youth programs and police mentors who align their definitions of success with public needs can better address the concerns of underrepresented groups. Traditional public administration’s definitions of success, however, may restrict public servants’ ability to serve their communities effectively. In this article, we examine how leaders of police-led youth programs and police mentors define success in such programs, we gained insights into how public organizations can support the well-being of marginalized youth. The findings reveal that the criteria for success in the programs differ from conventional standards, especially by emphasizing community impact over procedural metrics. Using public value theory, we investigated how the programs generate societal value while drawing on the perspectives of program leaders and officers regarding meaningful outcomes for both individuals and communities. Justice Evaluation Journal 27/1/2026 Research article The Limits of Predicting Near Lethal and Lethal Family and Intimate Partner Violence Purpose: Accurate assessment of the risk of fatal family or intimate partner violence (FIPV), particularly of intimate partner homicide (IPH), has long been a clinical and research goal. Although several risk assessment measures have been developed to assist in this task, limited validation methodologies in past research mean that it remains unclear whether fatal FIPV can be accurately predicted. This study aimed to address this research gap using a prospective methodology. Methods: Prediction of lethal and near lethal FIPV was tested in a full population cohort (n = 38,454) of unique perpetrator and victim dyads recorded by police over 7 months between September 2019 and March 2020 in Victoria, Australia. The predictive validity of an actuarial risk assessment instrument (ARAI) previously validated for general FIPV risk and of 12 widely recognized risk factors for male-to-female IPH were assessed over a 12-month follow-up period. Results: Neither the ARAI, individual IPH risk factors, nor a model developed from the IPH risk factors, accurately predicted which dyads subsequently came to police attention for lethal or near lethal FIPV. All methods misclassified many thousands of dyads as high risk who did not have subsequently reported lethal/near lethal FIPV. These findings were attributable to both the low base rate of lethal/near lethal FIPV during the follow-up period and the commonality of widely recognized risk markers for male-to-female IPH in FIPV cases reported to police. Conclusions: When evaluated using a prospective design, existing assessments of FIPV homicide risk are likely to overestimate the risk of homicide in a very substantial number of cases. This suggests that a public health approach to the prevention of FIPV homicide may be of greater utility than trying to accurately identify cases at high risk of a low base rate event such as homicide.
