Antecedents of successful coping can include self-efficacy, locus of control, optimism, resilience, and self-esteem. However, a dearth of literature exists attaining to the importance of emotion-regulation and mindfulness for successful coping in these roles, despite evidence revealing that both are conducive to better well-being. Additionally, few studies with CSI personnel have employed a mixed methods approach, which enables exploration of lived experiences in addition to survey analysis. Here, we recruited 84 CSI employees and 88 students undertaking a degree enabling employment within CSI, to comprehensively explore factors predicting successful coping. 75 CSI employees and 88 students took part in the quantitative aspect, where questionnaire data pertaining to the above well-being factors, as well as depression, anxiety and stress, were collected. In the concurrent qualitative aspect of the project, nine officers employed in CSI roles were recruited. Semi-structured interviews more deeply explored experiences of resilience and coping, including how the CSI personnel managed their occupation. Quantitative analyses revealed that, for CSI personnel, the greatest predictors of successful coping were resilience and emotional regulation. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology 13/6/2022 Research article Content and Container: Exploring Possible Perspective and Audio Biases in Videos of Police Interventions The arrest and subsequent death of George Floyd are often cited as pivotal events in the evolution of police-citizen relationships. They were also the pinnacle of the “new visibility of policing” in that they were filmed by multiple cameras, and video recordings of the arrest of George Floyd played a central role in the trial of the police officer who killed Floyd. Although empirical work in other fields has repeatedly shown that how information is conveyed (the container) influences our perceptions and opinions sometimes as much as the information itself (the content), criminologists have largely neglected the effect of cognitive biases on perceptions of the police. The present study investigates both camera perspective and audio biases by reporting the results of three related viewings of controversial police interventions involving the use of force, filmed from the perspectives of a body-worn camera, a surveillance camera, and a cellphone. Results inconsistently support the existence of both biases but still point toward a concerning conclusion: technical features of the videos presented are associated with significantly different opinions. Implications for the public release of video footage are discussed.

Policing Insight 13/6/2022 Advertisement, Feature Assessing Causal Effects Under Treatment Heterogeneity: An Evaluation of A CCTV Program in Detroit This study examines the effect Project Green Light Detroit (PGLD), an integrated CCTV program, on crime at commercial and non-commercial city parcels in Detroit, MI. A quasi-experimental design was used by implementing a difference-in-differences model with adjustments made for variation in treatment timing and treatment heterogeneity. Findings from the study indicate that PGLD increased reporting of property crimes at some participating locations but did not significantly impact violent or disorder crimes. Most of the impact of PGLD was attributable to locations that joined the program early in its implementation. Studies examining treatment effects that are implemented over time should adjust for variation in treatment timing and treatment heterogeneity. Several new statistical methods exist that can implement these in a variety of software packages.
