BBC 20/12/2024 News Intelligence-led policing in the 21st Century: How increased mobility requires new paradigms of information sharing The challenge posed by mobile criminality to law enforcement has increased in the 21st Century, as technology and digital communication have accelerated.

Edmonton Journal (Canada) 20/12/2024 News Assessing Perceptions of the Police among Street-Identified Black Americans: The Relevance of Neighborhood Conditions Although public attitudes toward the police have been widely examined over the past several decades, very few quantitative studies have focused on large community samples of street-identified Black populations. Drawing on data collected by a street participatory action research project conducted in two low-income urban Black neighborhoods, this paper examines perceptions of the police as a function of neighborhood and individual correlates among street-identified Black males and females. Study findings suggest that neighborhood physical disorder is negatively related to perceptions of the police, whereas social cohesion is positively linked to favorable perceptions. Older participants had more positive attitudes toward police, and respondents with prior arrest and incarceration experiences expressed more negative perceptions. Recommendations include improving housing and environmental management programs and constructively working with street-identified Black boys/men and girls/women to enhance public–police relations.
