Policing Insight - Subscription at source 10/2/2022 Feature, Opinion The Effects of Nonresponse and Follow-Up Mailings on A Citizen Survey of Law Enforcement Services Law enforcement agencies in many countries conduct surveys to learn about community opinions and concerns but low response rates can raise doubts about the generalizability of the results. This study examined differences between responders vs. nonresponders, and early vs. late responders, in a mailed survey of citizen satisfaction about law enforcement, and whether survey estimates changed with follow-up mailings. The univariate analysis revealed significant but small race/ethnicity and age differences between responders and nonresponders. Nonresponders tended to be nonwhite rather than white and to be younger. Late responders reported more negative attitudes toward law enforcement than did early responders with respect to perceived procedural justice and police legitimacy, although differences were small. While follow-up mailings increased the number of returns, this study found that the characteristics and attitudes of responders changed very little with additional mailings. The multivariate analysis revealed no evidence of multivariate bias, in particular, late survey responses did not change the positive association between procedural justice and police legitimacy. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 10/2/2022 Research article Revisiting the Ferguson Effect: Law Enforcement Perception of Recruitment in the Post George Floyd Era Mainstream media have argued that prolonged and harsh criticism of police officers prompted by death of Michael Brown at the hands of Ferguson police has had a major negative effect on the US law enforcement community. This phenomenon, known as the “Ferguson effect”, was exacerbated in the following years by the availability of other violent public–police interactions propagated through social media. The academic literature found almost no evidence that the Ferguson effect had any impact on crime rates and only limited evidence that it resulted in de-policing in the United States. Missing from this conversation is research on how the Ferguson effect impacted the ability of police departments to maintain staffing levels and recruit new officers nationwide. This article fills this gap in the research literature by examining levels of officer retention and recruitment from an organizational perspective. Police chiefs in Texas were surveyed about their perceptions of the Ferguson effect on department recruitment and retention efforts. International Journal of Police Science & Management - Registration at source 10/2/2022 Research article Physical Fitness Standards: An Assessment of Potential Disparate Impact For Female State Police Applicants To improve diversity in hiring, this quantitative study examines the applicant physical fitness testing standards of the Kentucky State Police (KSP) to determine whether the test or specific events have a disparate impact for female state police applicants. A sample of 427 state police applicants was collected from applicant fitness testing conducted by the KSP between 2014 and 2019. Bivariate analysis was used to compare the output of males and females. Logistic regression was used to determine predictors for passing fitness testing. The results show a potential disparate impact based upon significant performance differences in three of the five fitness events: bench press, 300-meter run, and push-ups. Predictors for passing applicant fitness testing were being male, having a lower body weight and having 2 years of military service. Sex was found to be a predictor for passing push-ups and 300-meter run. Recommendations suggest amending the fitness events, establishing equitable scoring criteria based upon sex without averaging, and reassessment and evaluation. Provisions for evaluation were provided.

CloudResearch workers (N = 276) read a mock case. The defendant’s alibi story was scandalous (or neutral), included a receipt (or no mention), and was disclosed one day (or three weeks) later. Participants rated the alibi’s believability, the defendant’s character, and rendered a verdict. As expected, alibi believability ratings were higher when the alibi story was neutral versus scandalous (p Psychiatry Psychology and Law - Registration at source 10/2/2022 Research article Mayor’s support for Commissioner is ‘contingent’ on next meeting Sadiq Khan says 'people can't understand' why nine officers subject to IOPC 'canteen culture' report are still serving.
