RT 16/5/2021 News Desistance From Criminalisation: Police Culture and New Directions in Drugs Policing Globally, there is emerging evidence that drugs policing is moving away from traditional enforcement interventions towards a greater focus on harm reduction. Signs of a shift include alternatives to criminalisation in the form of police-led diversion schemes. This article examines the extent to which new directions in drugs policing reflect changes in police culture. The key change under consideration is police desistance from criminalising people who use drugs. Another aim is to advance theoretical debates into the factors affecting cultural change in police organisations. Drawing on an extensive qualitative study of challenges, innovation and reform in drugs policing across England and Wales, the findings capture the transformative effect of certain experiences on the values police officers hold and how they understand and make sense of drug problems, their role and impact. It is argued that further insights into cultural change can be gained by drawing on the concept of turning points from life-course criminology and desistance research. The findings also reveal how changes in the field of policing have fostered and facilitated changes in police culture and practice. A policy implication of this study is that cultural change could be furthered through experiential learning and critical reflective practice approaches to police education.

The Citizen (Lancaster & Morecombe) 15/5/2021 News Emotional Intelligence As A Predictor of Police Operational Stress: A Pilot Study The present study examined the relationship between police operational stress and emotional intelligence. The study also observed the difference in operational stress and emotional intelligence concerning gender, rank, education, and marital status. The sample included 80 police officers from Bangalore, India. The operational police stress questionnaire developed by McCreary and Thompson (2006) and emotional intelligence scale developed by Hyde et al. (2002) were used to measure police operational stress and emotional intelligence, respectively. Independent sample t-test and Cohen’s d indicated that differences in gender, rank, education, and marital status had no significant effect on police operational stress. Gender differences had a significant effect on the emotional intelligence factors, empathy, and self-motivation. Differences in rank had a significant effect on empathy, self-motivation, emotional stability, managing relationships, integrity, value orientation, and commitment. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology - Registration at source 15/5/2021 Research article An Experimental Study of the Impact of Body-Worn Cameras on Police Report Writing The impact of pre-report reviewing of body-worn camera (BWC) footage remains largely unknown. The current study investigates three research questions, including: “what impact does viewing body-worn camera footage have on report writing?”. Three hundred and sixty-two participants were asked to conduct a simulated use of force situation and write a report afterwards. They were randomly assigned to four conditions: in particular, one group had to review their BWC footage before writing a report, while another could not review the footage. All reports were coded by a team of research assistants and compared using bivariate and multivariate analyses. Participants wearing a BWC provided more accurate reports than those who did not wear one. However, the benefits were relatively small. The analysis suggests that pre-report review of BWC footage will help in providing more accurate reports but might reduce the reliance on subjective information, such as perceptions.
