The Sault Star (Canada) 9/7/2021 News The Challenge of Involving Medical Doctors As Important Frontline Responders in Fighting Domestic Violence For victims of domestic violence, medical problems in the short-term are injuries and in the long-term health issues such as mental health problems, consequences of untreated sexual transmitted diseases or stress related health issues evolving from the abuse they’ve experienced by a partner or any other family member. This inevitably makes victims seek the help of the medical profession. The medical profession is therefore an important stakeholder in the group of frontline responders detecting and intervening domestic abuse. Unfortunately, the medical profession is often not an active partner in frontline responder networks. In this article, problems cutting medical professionals out of the networks of frontline responders and reasons why they should be integrated are presented. The paper also discusses what needs to be changed in order to better integrate the medical profession in the circle of frontline responders working against domestic violence. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin 9/7/2021 Research article Rising to the Proliferation of Cybercrime Challenging LEAs Across Europe Law enforcement agencies (LEAs) face serious challenges in addressing the growing wave of cybercrime. They have limited human and financial resources to push back against this wave. Their tools and technologies are often a generation behind those of cybercriminals and terrorists on the dark web, deep web and dark nets. LEAs have to operate with ethical, data protection and social constraints that are meaningless to cybercriminals. They also have to respect national borders that don’t exist in cyberspace. This article briefly refers to the economic and social impacts of cybercrime, before discussing some of the principal challenges facing LEAs in responding to those impacts. We then focus on the EU-funded CC-DRIVER project, which is helping LEAs to address those challenges. Finally, we draw some conclusions on the near-term future of responses to cybercrime.

Saanich News (Canada) 9/7/2021 News SKALA – Predictive Policing in North Rhine-Westphalia Predictive policing (PP) is an umbrella term used to describe methodological processes utilised by law enforcement agencies to predict crimes and to aid in planning operational responses. Essentially, they are computer-assisted, spatially-based, probability calculations of crime. These processes have gained international popularity and have become a frequently discussed topic that has attracted the interest of policymakers and decision-makers in law enforcement circles. This article provides an insider’s assessment of the implementation of one such process, SKALA (Crime Analysis and Anticipation System), by the State Office of Criminal Investigation of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany. We explain the rationales both for PP and for SKALA and explain how the latter operates in practice. Piloted in six police authorities between 2015 and 2018, the State Office assessed that SKALA was a promising technique that could assist strategic decision-making; particularly, in the allocation of scarce police resources. When it was rolled out across the state, practitioners found the system to lack sufficient detail for their needs and the State Office, in conjunction with a higher education institution and with those practitioners, took steps to generate improvements in the analytical products produced for frontline staff and these have been more readily accepted. We (I) argue that it is too early to present definitive conclusions on SKALA’s utility. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin 9/7/2021 Research article An Inter-Organisational Response to Domestic Violence When studying the current Portuguese domestic violence landscape, the case of Porto was highlighted by some police professionals as a different approach to domestic violence occurrences. We discovered the existence of organisational experience, involving a broad partnership, and with an evident interest by the media. Corresponding to the IMPRODOVA[1]conceptual framework, the Porto experience merges both, an organisational arrangement from the Public Security Police which involves intra-organisational cooperation, as well as an inter-organisational cooperation between the police, several NGOs, health services, and public prosecutor services. Altogether, they aim at a clarification of the problem at hand, goals and stakes, resources and actors involved. In this article, the case study of the Porto experience is presented and discussed within a broad critical reflexion about social change in contemporary societies.
