Policing Insight 19/7/2021 Feature, Opinion Policing and Collective Efficacy: A Rapid Evidence Assessment Collective efficacy is a neighbourhood social process that has important benefits for crime prevention. Policing is thought to be one antecedent to collective efficacy, but the mechanisms by which police activity and officer behaviour are thought to foster collective efficacy are not well understood. This article presents findings from a rapid evidence assessment conducted to take stock of the empirical research on policing and collective efficacy. Thirty-nine studies were identified and examined. Overall, trust in police was the aspect of policing most consistently associated with collective efficacy. There was also some evidence that community policing activities, such as visibility and community engagement, predicted collective efficacy. Police legitimacy, on the other hand, was relatively unrelated to collective efficacy: a finding which suggests perceptions of police linked to the ‘action’ of individual officers may be more enabling of collective efficacy than perceptions of the policing institution as a whole. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Discover Westman (Canada) 19/7/2021 News Status Quo of National Data Sources Concerning Domestic Violence Across Eight European Countries Official police records and victimisation surveys are two focal sources of information on domestic violence (DV). Police data inform us about the incidents that come to the attention of the law enforcement authorities. Population-based surveys offer estimates on total prevalence of victimisation, its characteristics, and combined with police data, on official social control and the proportion of hidden crime. Internationally, there is great variation in both the quality and availability of police data concerning DV, as well as concerning measures and the mere existence of victimisation studies. One of the first tasks in the IMPRODOVA project was to create a map of this variation by examining the properties and availability of data sources across partner countries. The results indicate substantial deficiencies in data sources, the foremost problem being the lack of nationally representative and regularly repeated victimisation surveys. Concerning police data, regionally separate information systems and the potential unreliability of the data present the biggest challenges for examining DV and official social control of it.
