More Than A Trivial Pursuit: Public Order Policing Narratives and the ‘Social Media Test’
Social media has transformed public discourse on policing and the contest of control over the police image. This article draws on original, empirical research to conceptualise the phenomenon of the ‘social media test’ – the evolution of social media into a legitimate measure of police performance. Through in-depth interviews with police and non-police respondents the article maps the genealogy of, and provides perspective on, one of the first viral cases of bystander video of police excessive force in Australia filmed and uploaded to YouTube. The study shows the video’s impact on hegemonic mainstream and police news media narratives, processes of criminalisation and police accountability and the merit of narrative criminology in unpacking these phenomena. Police alluding to the ‘social media test’ in in-depth interviews shows that digital media in general and social media in particular can no longer be dismissed as peripheral or subsidiary to public discourse on policing in a digital society.

SEBP 2020 Virtual Conference: Weapon-carrying and preparedness for adversity
Professor Brennan's talk on Weapon-carrying and preparedness for adversity: Lessons from natural disasters - main points: - Who carries weapons and why?​ - The evidence we have can’t really explain weapon-carrying and doesn’t help us predict who will be carrying weapons next year - Rational and irrational thinking that affects how people think about disaster - The role of fear, direct experience and the strong evidence that having trust in authority/experts makes people more aware of their own vulnerability, but (ironically) less prepared - The parallels between preparation for disaster and preparation for violent encounters - Competing explanations for weapon-carrying: (1) fear and (2) necessity ​- Fear plays little role in weapon-carrying, but violence and trust in the police are hugely important - Practical insights: What does this mean for prevention?

Polizei goes electric — Hyundai Kona EV popular with police fleets around Europe
EUROPE: I believe there are police officers everywhere who want to switch to electric cars — or are at least interested in finding out more about them. Considering the advanced technology and the instant torque, of course they do. All that is holding many of them back is the bureaucracy of budgets. Some police forces in Europe, though, have been moving into the future now. A growing number of polizei are managing to cut through the bureaucracy and start the switch to electric. Interestingly, many of those Europeans are choosing Hyundai Kona EVs to use in their fleets.

SEBP 2020 Virtual Conference: NDAS – National Data Analysis Solution
Nick Dale, Superintendent, West Midlands Police. In this presentation we cover: Data Science – setting the foundations for advanced data analytics. An explanation of the cloud architecture, tools, data model, data science and visualisation techniques required to generate usable insights from raw force data from multiple source systems. Use case explanation and update. The Modern Slavery use case shows the power of natural language processing (NLP) and network analysis to understand a key threat in a completely new way. The Most Serious Violence use case adds behavioural analysis to seek to identify those who present the most risk of committing an offence of serious violence in the future – it also demonstrates the difficulty of using police data for a “predictive” model and the need to re-iterate a model when things go wrong. Two new use cases – Organised Exploitation and Firearms – show the benefit of identifying data science techniques developed in one use case, and further developing the for use in new areas of business.
