Police Oracle - Subscription at source 25/3/2025 News Victim-survivors’ perceptions of a cognitive interview protocol for sexual offence investigations A crucial way of improving the justice response to sexual violence is to strengthen investigative interviews with victim-survivors. Research in investigative interviewing, however, has tended to preference the views of police and psychologists in understandings of effective interview techniques, with minimal research examining victim-survivors’ perspectives of interview techniques and protocols. In this qualitative study, adult victim-survivors in Australia (n = 26) were invited to view and provide their perceptions on a Cognitive Interview style police protocol. Responses were thematically analysed and showed that participants generally valued the protocol’s structure, especially the emphasis on setting clear expectations for the interview, encouraging a free narrative, and grounding techniques. However, many expressed concerns about the ‘context reinstatement’ component, suggesting it would likely be trauma-inducing. They also noted examples of patronising language that communicates disbelief, as well as the potential for insincere rapport-building. Practical suggestions to improve investigative interview protocols in sexual offence investigations are discussed. Overall, the study helps to clarify which protocol components might be harmful or supportive to victim-survivors and adds a victim-centred empirical basis to recommendations moving forward.

National Crime Agency (NCA) 25/3/2025 News “Respect the Badge”: Exploring the Use of Respect as a Means of Survival During Police Encounters Police in the United States are most commonly directed to surveil and criminalize minoritized communities, which bolsters stereotypes of racial threat and results in disparate criminal legal outcomes for Black individuals. Hyper-surveillance has led to distrust and dissatisfaction with police in minoritized communities and inspired research exploring ways to ameliorate police-community relationships. While officers’ use of respect is found to enhance community trust and satisfaction, few studies explore how civilians use respect to reclaim power and control during officer encounters. Even fewer studies explore how the use of respect in police interactions is taught intergenerationally. The current study draws from qualitative interviews with 50 Black fathers and elucidates how respect is often taught and enacted as a survival tactic. Employing a strengths-based framework, findings highlight the community members’ agency and challenge readers to consider whether respect between police and community, given the long history of violence, can ever be genuine.
