Using data from a sample of 235 students at two liberal arts colleges, we conducted Firth logistic regression to explore the impact of social media on perceptions related to police and career aspirations. Results showed that perceived social media realism and the frequency of viewing police-related videos are significant predictors of changes in perceptions of police and career interest. These findings highlight the need for digital media literacy education and promote informed public dialogue about the influence of social media on policing and career pathways in law enforcement. Journal of Criminal Justice Education - Subscription at source 1/4/2025 Research article The When, Where, and Who of Unstructured Socializing: Exploring the Intersection of Crime Propensity and Neighborhood Collective Efficacy Prior research consistently finds unsupervised and unstructured peer-oriented socializing conducive to crime but struggles to study its simultaneous relation to neighborhood- and individual-level characteristics. This study analyses spatial and temporal patterns of unstructured socializing, considering both individual crime propensity and neighborhood collective efficacy, using data from the Malmö Individual and Neighborhood Development Study and Malmö Community Survey. Employing space–time budget methodology, the findings reveal that unstructured socializing is more common among adolescents with higher crime propensity and typically occurs outside their residential neighborhoods. Contrary to expectations, unstructured socializing is not more prevalent in neighborhoods with lower collective efficacy nor is there an interaction effect between crime propensity and collective efficacy. Overall, the results highlight the need to integrate both place and individual factors to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the spatiotemporal patterns of unstructured socializing. Deviant Behavior 1/4/2025 Research article Policing England and Wales in 2025: The death of consent The UK’s policing by consent model was founded on Sir Robert Peel’s nine principles, but University of Staffordshire Senior Lecturer Dr John Lamb fears that the long-term impact of austerity cuts has damaged that model almost beyond the point of resurrection, and has issued a “rallying cry” for the public to demand that politicians properly fund the service in the hope that policing by consent can be resuscitated. Policing Insight 1/4/2025 Analysis, Feature, Opinion Correlates of Homicide by Familial Relationship The study of individuals who commit domestic violence toward partners and spouses has received considerable attention over the past several decades, but there are fewer studies that examine violence perpetrated against children and other extended family members. This gap in the literature makes it difficult to determine whether the correlates of domestic violence, particularly homicide offending, vary by victim group. In this study, we use the 2016 Survey of Prison Inmates to identify the correlates of familial homicide that includes violence toward spouses, children, and other family member types such as grandparents, parents, and siblings. A major conclusion is that discharging a firearm during the commission of a crime greatly increases the odds of homicide offending.
