Police Professional 22/12/2022 News Police widow pension scheme survives human rights challenge Police widows and a widower have lost their claim that a 'demeaning' regulation in the service pension scheme infringes on their human rights after the Court of Appeal ruled that a judgment did not err in law. The scheme, which closed to new members in 2006, ceases payments if the widow or surviving civil partner remarries, forms a new civil partnership, or cohabits as husband and wife or civil partners. A replacement 2015 scheme now allows benefits to be payable to widows, widowers, civil partners and cohabitees for life if their spouse or partner’s ‘death was in the line of duty’ and ‘even if they remarry, enter into a further civil partnership or cohabit'. From 1 April 2022 all active pension scheme members were moved to the 2015 scheme.

New Zealand Police 22/12/2022 News The influence of Indigenous status on the issue of police cautions Background: Over the last 20 years a body of research has emerged in the United States (US) revealing that the country’s sentencing courts to treat young male African American (and Hispanic) offenders more harshly than white offenders, even after adjusting for relevant legal and contextual factors. Similar research in Australia has generally found that the effect of Indigenous status on adult bail/sentencing outcomes is either non-significant, or significant but very small. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of race, age, and gender on police decisions to prosecute rather than caution to a juvenile offender. Methods: We employ a multilevel model with random intercepts to explore the impact of race, age, and gender on police decisions to prosecute rather than caution to a juvenile offender. The first level controls for offender/offence factors a police officer may legally consider when deciding whether or not to caution a young offender. The second level controls for the police patrol to which the police officer is attached. Results: After adjusting for the effects of legally relevant factors, we find Indigenous juvenile offenders (regardless of sex) are more likely to be prosecuted than cautioned, compared with their non-Indigenous counterparts. There is also wide variation across local area commands in willingness to caution juvenile offenders. Conclusion: Further research is needed to obtain a better understanding of the factors responsible for racial disparity in the use of police cautions.
