Peer support programs have been employed to mitigate these potential effects. Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) has been widely employed as a means of responding to emergency services’ stress responses. This incorporates the use of “Critical Incident Stress Debriefing” (CISD), a technique in which a facilitator helps the rescuer talk about their feelings regarding the incident. Inherent in CISD, psychological debriefing has been described as a brief crisis intervention usually administered within days of a traumatic event. Controversy has arisen over the use of psychological debriefing as a safe and effective tool for peer support. Organizations may be exposed to liability when offering “a practice that is not supported by the preponderance of the available scientific evidence.” Psychological First Aid has been described as an alternative modality, broadly endorsed by expert consensus, which can be readily learned and employed by peer support teams. “Listen, Protect, Connect” is an easy-to-remember means to summarize and approach the concept of Psychological First Aid. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology 18/1/2021 Research article Investigative Interviews With Suspects and Witnesses: A Survey of Perceptions and Interview Practices Among Malaysian Police Interviewing of suspects, victims, and eyewitnesses contributes significantly to the investigation process. While a great deal is known about the investigative interviewing practices in the United Kingdom and the Nordic region, very little is known about the framework used by Malaysian police officers. A survey was administered to 44 Royal Malaysian Police interviewers serving in the Sexual, Women and Child Investigations Division (D11) of the Crime Investigation Department. Respondents were asked about the investigative interviewing techniques they use with suspects, witnesses, and victims; how effective they think these techniques are; and the training they had received. Findings revealed that many police officers currently possess limited knowledge of best practice investigative interviewing. More training, feedback, and supervision is needed and desired.

Police Professional 18/1/2021 News Preventing Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking – An Agenda for Action across the Financial Services Sector The Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Dame Sara Thornton, has today published a joint report which has found worryingly low levels of awareness of forced labour and exploitation of workers in the UK’s financial sector. The study, led by Dame Sara Thornton, the UK Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, suggests nearly half of bankers and other finance staff don’t know about the nature and scale of the problem - nor how their business is involved in the abuse. The report, carried out in partnership with Themis and the TRIBE Freedom Foundation, shows how finance is at the heart of labour exploitation - a multi-million-pound industry - and calls on leaders to take a stand against it.

Belfast Telegraph 18/1/2021 News More Cops, Less Trust? Disentangling the Relationship Between Police Numbers and Trust in the Police in the European Union This paper investigates the relationship between number of police officers per inhabitant and trust in the police in the EU. By compiling data sources from the Eurobarometer, the Eurostat and the Corruption Perception Index, we test whether the number of police officers per inhabitant is a robust predictor of trust in the police on the country level. While there is a strong negative correlation between the two variables that justifies stating that the police are trusted most in countries where the number of police is minimal, controlling for relevant covariates reveals that the correlation is technically spurious. In line with distributive justice theory, perceptions of corruption in the respective countries explain most of the variation in trust in the police, which completely levels the influence of number of police officers per inhabitant. Implications for research and policy are discussed at the end of the paper.
