The Irish Times (Republic of Ireland) 5/11/2021 News A Comparative Study of Police Organizational Changes in Europe During the Covid-19 Pandemic Police organizations—like many other social institutions—were forced to make changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This exploratory study uses data from 15 European countries to examine how the police organizations have adjusted their operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results suggest the way in which police organizations responded to the pandemic was complicated. Some police functions, such as handling of complaints and internal investigations, did not change substantially during the pandemic. On the other hand, functions which normally involved significant face-to-face contact within organizations, such as in-person rollcalls and police training, were substantially affected. Police organizations also changed their reactive policing activities, such as handling of calls for service, traffic stops, and taking people into custody, as well as proactive policing activities, such as community policing and directed patrols. The results further indicate that police administrators did not perceive that these changes would negatively affect either their relationship with the community nor morale within police organizations.

In times of health emergencies, effective communication, which in this case means epidemic-risk communication, cannot be a one-way communication, it should be based on dialogue and has to be a process of wide-ranging multi-stakeholder information- and opinion exchange. Its purpose should not be solely to communicate rules and statistics data and to express expected behaviours. The pandemic-related police communication is expected to strengthen, amongst others, (public) trust, encourage the proper behaviour, help the civilians with their decision-making, provide an opportunity to articulate their concerns and doubts, and respond to them professionally and authentically. On 31st January in 2020, the Hungarian Government decided to establish the Operational Group responsible for defending and managing the coronavirus epidemic. Till now, the daily press conferences of this Unit were (and still are) the base for informing the citizens. The press conference genre has been taken to a new level by restriction of the journalists and exclusion of spontaneous questions, that cannot be asked directly anymore. The Operational Group selects the questions and mediums which are worthy of answers. In my presentation, the societal expectations with the experienced (governmental and police) practice will be analysed, comparing them with the general principles included in the work of theoretical experts of crisis communication.

Police Professional 5/11/2021 News Violence, Worry and Trust in the Emergence of Weapon-Carrying This paper identifies longitudinal predictors of weapon-carrying in a sample of 10–25 year olds in England and Wales. It conceptualises weapon-carrying as anticipation of an adverse event and proposes hypotheses about the origins of weapon-carrying derived from the field of risk analysis. Specifically, it tests if worry about victimisation and experience of violence predict later weapon-carrying and assesses the moderating influence of trust in the police. The results indicate that worry about victimisation does not predict weapon-carrying, but experience of violence does. Distrust of police and peer criminality were also identified as important precursors to weapon-carrying. The study provides further evidence that, at least over longer periods, weapon-carrying is a product of experience of violence and criminogenic factors rather than a response to concern about victimisation.
