HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) 22/12/2021 News Crime and Place: Differences in Spatial Relationship Between Calls For Service and Recorded Incidents For Municipal and Campus Law Enforcement With the advent of more law enforcement open data, researchers are exploring the use of calls for service (CFS) as a proxy for recorded incident information by law enforcement. However, indications are that law enforcement activities are mediated by the agency’s goals with its data. Using data from two different types of law enforcement agencies within the same community, CFS and incident reports for property crimes were tested for spatial association using the co-location quotient. Findings from this study show there is a modest amount of detectable clustering of CFS for the municipal law enforcement agency. However, the large university campus agency did not show any detectable spatial association for these events. This suggests that the movement towards using open data in research will need to take greater care in the selection of data to understand if assumptions about the data can be supported.

Echo Live (Republic of Ireland) 22/12/2021 News Quality of Work Life, Emotional and Physical Well-Being of Police Personnel in India The job profile of police officers places exceptional demands on them leading to risks to life, personal discomfort and stress. This article aims to examine how the physical and emotional well-being of police personnel is affected by their perceived quality of work life (QWL). The study looked at the questionnaire responses of 234 police personnel. Emotional well-being is measured as the absence of depression, emotional hyperactivity, difficulty relaxing, irritability and anxiety, whereas physical well-being is measured as the presence of diabetes, thyroid problems, insomnia and obesity. The study assessed police perceptions of QWL as provided by the government. The study findings are segregated for QWL on the basis of dominant ill-being and dominant well-being. Factors such as career and development, working environment, safety, work load, compensation and fear of punishment should be carefully analysed and improved. Some 71.8% of the respondents suffered from two or more emotional ailments; 70% suffered from two or more physical ailments. Findings suggest that QWL dimensions that fall within dominant ill-being need to be addressed immediately by policy makers and management to improve police well-being. International Journal of Police Science & Management - Registration at source 22/12/2021 Research article A National Study of the Availability of Law Enforcement Agency Wellness Programming For Officers: A Latent Class Analysis The purpose of this study is to understand the availability of employee wellness programs within law enforcement agencies (LEAs) across the United States, including physical fitness, resilience/wellness, coping skills, nutrition, mental health treatment, and substance use treatment. The research team investigated whether patterns of LEA wellness programming are identifiable and, if so, what characteristics describe these patterns. We assess using latent class analysis whether there are distinct profiles of agencies with similar patterns offering different types of wellness programs and explore what characteristics distinguish agencies with certain profiles of wellness programming. Data were from a nationally representative sample of 1135 LEAs: 80.1% municipal, 18.6% county and 1.3% other agencies (state-level and Bureau of Indian Affairs LEAs). We found that many agencies (62%) offer no wellness programming. We also found that 23% have comprehensive wellness programming, and that another group of agencies specialize in specific wellness programming. About 14% of the agencies have a high probability of providing resilience coping skill education, mental health and/or substance use treatment services programming. About 1% of the agencies in the United States limit their programming to fitness and nutrition, indicating that fitness and nutrition programs are more likely to be offered in concert with other types of wellness programs. The analyses revealed that agencies offering broad program support are more likely to be large, municipal LEAs located in either the West, Midwest or Northeast (compared with the southern United States), and not experiencing a recent budget cut that impacted wellness programming. International Journal of Police Science & Management - Registration at source 22/12/2021 Research article Police, Policing and Covid-19 Pandemic This editorial is aimed at complementing the previous editorials by Estella Baker (2020) and Nina Peršak (2020). In social control activities, the police have crucial roles in providing people with security and safety, maintaining public order, and investigating crime. On top of this, the police play a vital role in community policing activities. External perspectives regarding policing and the police are critical, and so are the internal ones giving rise to questions about the role of the police in the covid-19 pandemic. Police organisations’ adaptation to the new circumstances in terms of caring for police officers’ health, long hours of police work, pressures by civil criticism of the police in controlling offenders for neither wearing protective masks or ignoring governmental regulations with a view to curbing the spread of the virus, such as the curfew and prohibition of gathering in public places, highlighted several challenges.
