Personnel Today 7/1/2026 News Police officers’ perspectives on the secondary victimisation of rape and serious sexual assault victims Secondary victimisation occurs when a victim of crime feels they have been subjected to inadequate, insensitive, or inappropriate treatment, attitudes, behaviour, responses and practices by criminal justice and social agencies, which compound their original trauma. This study explored police officers’ perceptions of how victims of rape and serious sex offences may be subjected to secondary victimisation by the police. A total of 50 semi-structured interviews were conducted with police officers across four forces in England and Wales. The interview data were qualitatively analysed using reflective thematic analysis. Three main themes were identified relating to how victims may feel re-victimised by their experiences with the police: (1) during the initial reporting phase; (2) if/when they are subjected to distressing evidence gathering; and (3) when investigations are victim, rather than suspect, focused. However, there was awareness among officers of the need for change and of new legislation and guidance aimed at reducing secondary victimisation. The different facets of secondary victimisation are discussed here, and an updated definition is proposed, which more clearly outlines the different ways in which secondary victimisation should or can be mitigated. Psychology Crime and Law 7/1/2026 Research article Police and citizen perceptions of self-awareness and deterrent effects of body-worn cameras on police and citizen behaviour While it is commonly assumed that the effects of body-worn cameras (BWCs) on police and citizen behaviour are driven by self-awareness and deterrence mechanisms, this assumption has not been empirically tested. This is the first study to examine the deterrence and self-awareness effects of BWCs – from both police and citizen perspectives – on police behaviour (procedural justice, use of force, police lawfulness) and citizen behaviour (specific compliance, general compliance, citizen complaints) within a causal framework. Survey data were collected from police officers (N = 131) across four agencies and randomly selected university students (N = 285). Structural equation modeling analyses indicated that respondents perceived police and citizen behaviour to be significantly influenced by the self-awareness and deterrent effects of BWCs, with the self-awareness effect mediated by deterrence. Policy implications are discussed.
