Limerick Post (Republic of Ireland) 25/6/2021 News The Power and Politics of Reforming Leadership Practices This article contradicts ‘resistance to change’ by investigating power and politics in change contexts. Our aim is to ascertain how studies of power structure and political activities add to the change management literature and the police reform literature. We studied the Norwegian police reform using inductive, qualitative studies that took the form of shadowing 27 police leaders, 6 months of field studies, 63 formal interviews, and a substantial number of informal conversations with police leaders and peers. Police reforms cannot be controlled by top-management. Instead, power and politics needs to be acknowledged and addressed as part of change initiatives being challenge, discussed, transparent, communicated, and made sense in creating the balance between exploration and exploitation of competencies how to change and why. Police leaders, as change intermediaries, are expected to exercise different forms of powers and engage in sensegiving and sensemaking activities to ensure implementation of the police reform.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 25/6/2021 Analysis, Feature Keeping Kids in School Through Prearrest Diversion: School Disciplinary Outcomes of the Philadelphia Police School Diversion Program. Objectives: Developed to keep youth in school and out of court, the Philadelphia Police School Diversion Program allows youth to avoid arrest for specified school-based summary and misdemeanor offenses. This study examined whether diverted youth were also less likely to experience exclusionary discipline, both in response to the referring incident and in the following calendar year. Hypotheses: We predicted that diverted youth—compared to youth arrested in schools the year before program implementation—would have been less likely to receive a suspension for their school-based incident, receive a suspension in the year following the incident, and be referred for permanent school removal in the year following the incident. Method: Using a quasi-experimental design, we examined data from 1,281 diverted youth and 531 comparable youth arrested in Philadelphia schools in the year before program implementation. These 1,812 students (67% male, 75% Black) ranged from 10 to 22 years of age. After using propensity score matching techniques, we conducted mixed-effects logistic regression analyses to compare the matched groups on 3 outcomes: incident-related suspension, postincident suspension, and postincident referral for permanent school removal. Results: No statistically significant group differences in likelihood of incident-related suspension emerged; however, age and gender moderated the relationship between diverted/arrested status and incident-related suspension. Diverted youth were less likely than matched arrested youth to experience both postincident suspension and postincident permanent school removal referral. Conclusions: The Philadelphia Police School Diversion Program shows promise in reducing the likelihood that youth will experience future exclusionary discipline following a school-based incident.
