Police misconduct erodes police-citizen relations, which in turn, discourages people from cooperating with police. While a substantial volume of research has focused on how citizens’ demographics, media trust, and neighborhood context can exert an influence on perceptions of police misconduct, very little research has explored the impact of procedural justice in this regard. To fill in the gaps in this literature, the present study utilizes Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine factors affecting citizens’ perceptions of police misconduct in Taiwan. Data were obtained from a CATI telephone survey of 1,806 residents in Metropolitan Taipei in 2014. It was found that citizens’ primary concerns of police misconduct include the covering-up of misconduct on the part of powerful suspects/celebrities, followed by the abuse of power by legal authorities, and the discriminatory enforcement of regulations, respectively. The results revealed importantly that procedural justice, perceptions of crime prevalence, and gender had significant direct influences, whereas media trust, victimization, and involuntary contact with police only had indirect effects on citizens’ perceptions of police misconduct. Procedural justice was the most robust variable in predicting citizens’ perceptions of police misconduct.

Police Professional 7/3/2022 News Promotional Score Changes Across Three Test Administrations: Preliminary Evidence for Construct Relevant Change Guidelines encourage organizations to have policies that permit opportunities for retesting in selection. However, the implications of retesting have only been explored in limited contexts. The current study investigated promotional assessment scores across three repeated administrations at a highway patrol agency. Within-person analyses indicated that scores on the promotional assessment increased both from the first to the second administration and from the second to the third administration of the promotional assessment. Between-person analyses indicated that, whereas test-wiseness was higher for those who had been previously administered the in-basket simulation, other construct irrelevant factors did not differ for those who had and had not been administered the assessments previously. We assert that this provides preliminary evidence of construct relevant score change, as scores increased with more time on the job, allowing for more time to learn relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities. Results are discussed in terms of practical implications for retesting policies.

This reflected the increasing positioning of domestic violence as ‘real crime’ and the moves at this time to view domestic violence through a ‘crime lens’. In the last 10 years or so, there has been a clear shift, with the prevailing approach now dominated by initiatives such as Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences, Independent Domestic Violence Advisors and Specialist Domestic Violence Courts. These initiatives have achieved considerable success in reducing risks to high-risk victims. Yet, in doing so, they establish a very particular framework for responding to domestic violence, positioning and promoting it as high-risk victimisation and moving to see it through an ‘exceptional risk’ lens. This paper examines shifts in the partnership response to domestic violence in England and Wales. It argues that, not only are the vast majority of lower risk women excluded from the prevailing framework but, in focusing on high-risk reduction, intervention within this framework fails to address women’s complicated and often contradictory needs in relation to abuse.
