[AUDIO] The Globe and Mail (Canada) 15/12/2022 News Algorithmic policing: an exploratory study of the algorithmically mediated construction of individual risk in a UK police force Predictive policing has captured the imagination of both enthusiasts hoping to improve public safety and opponents raising concerns around algorithmic bias and opacity. Based on seven in-depth interviews with officers in a UK police force, this article examines the dynamics of how automated risk scores institutionalise an individual-focussed threat-harm-risk strategy aimed at preventing repeat offending. Born out of the need to prioritise work given budget cuts, the risk scores alleviate fears of missing opportunities for prevention and render professional decision-making defendable. Rather than replacing professional judgement, the article finds that officers maintain discretion in a process of co-construction by scrutinising the risk scores and weighing them against other priorities and operational constraints. In a climate of austerity, a concern arises from the scores’ potential to drive short-term selective incapacitation rather than prevention through supportive measures.

CBC News (Canada) 15/12/2022 News Perception of the police amongst migrant teenagers from Muslim majority countries in Western European host countries This paper compares migrants from Muslim majority countries (MMC) with Western European native-born school-children in terms of trust in the police, legitimacy conferred on police and compliance. The results show that migrants from MMC tend to trust and legitimate the police in their host country less and, as a result, to report lower levels of normative compliance. However, they report higher levels of habitual compliance than native-born respondents. Measures of structural conditions (i.e. deprivation and disorganisation) and of closeness to the host country (i.e. attachment to school and collective efficacy in neighbourhood) mediate these differences but do not eliminate them. Explanations for the differences in attitudes to the police are suggested in terms of group-level cultural distance and quality of integration.

The Irish Times (Republic of Ireland) 15/12/2022 News Community-based policing to control COVID-19 outbreak at communal clusters: A Vietnam perspective The COVID-19 outbreak and its practical impacts are changing policing and police responses. Alongside the relentless efforts of the health sector, the role of police forces has been the subject of debate between the global South and North. As the first study in Vietnam, this paper explains how Vietnam’s police applied community-based policing to prevent and detect the interlaced occurrences among old and new patients at the communal cluster. Multiple sources were used to collect secondary data on police responses in the first lockdowns between February and March 2020. Online interviews with police leaders and six frontline officers were conducted to collect primary data. The findings show that, in each case, Vietnamese police implemented dynamic operations as much as possible in an effort to elicit voluntary collaborations to detect and contain COVID-19. Police used “onion-layer” and “door-to-door” approaches to coordinate and cooperate with their partners in the health sector. In addition, delivering persuasive propaganda was highly prioritized to incite local people to take up preventive measures rather than enforce them. The paper concludes with four specific recommendations and further discussions aimed at improving community-based policing’s effectiveness in future exceptional circumstances.
