Blue Line (Canada) 5/10/2022 Feature The view of the blue is bigger than black and white: using social identity theory to predict factors related to how Americans’ perceive the police Using the social identity theory, this exploratory study looked at how mass media, race, age, gender, and politic affiliation contribute to Americans’ attitude toward the police. Findings indicate one’s social identity and identification with police play a substantial role in how people choose to view police. Additionally, increased media trust and resulted in more positive perceptions of police, and people who listened to radio news more frequently were more likely to consider police part of their in-group. Journal of Ethnicity in Criminal Justice - Subscription at source 5/10/2022 Research article Barriers to Police Reporting among Pregnant Ethnoracial Minority Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence Femicide is the leading cause of death among pregnant women in the United States and the risk of pregnancy-associated intimate partner femicide is significantly higher among ethnoracial minority women. In this exploratory study we examined ethnoracial differences in the rates and reasons against calling police following nonfatal intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization in a nationally representative sample of pregnant and nonpregnant female survivors. Among IPV survivors, 1 in 18 (5.6%, n = 106) were pregnant at the time of their abuse. Although the nature of IPV experienced was generally unrelated to victims’ ethnoracial background or pregnancy status, Black/non-Hispanic women differed in that their victimization during pregnancy was associated with significantly increased feelings of being unsafe and endorsement of the belief that the IPV was a private or personal matter, and increased fear of reprisal by the perpetrator or others. There was a significant interaction between pregnancy status and ethnoracial background on reporting IPV to police, with the probability of police reporting increasing non-significantly during pregnancy for White/non-Hispanic women and decreasing non-significantly for Black/non-Hispanic women. These findings highlight barriers to police reporting of IPV among pregnant Black/non-Hispanic survivors and suggest avenues for future research aimed at decreasing racial disparities in pregnancy-associated femicide.

Offaly Independent (Republic of Ireland) 5/10/2022 News ‘Accidental’ procedural justice: The Finnish approach to policing At a time when policing agencies are coming under increased scrutiny, the Finnish police are, reportedly, achieving very high levels of public trust. This article reports on the findings of research conducted into the Finnish approach to policing and considers whether and to what extent Finnish policing shows tendencies towards procedural justice. A mixed methods survey and focus groups approach was used to collect primary data that provided novel insight into the nature of policing in Finland from the perspective of police officers. The key findings of this research indicate that the Finnish police are operating in an apparently ‘accidental’ procedurally just manner. Rather than a fully planned implementation of procedural justice theory, a combination of cultural, legal and operational elements seems to have aligned to produce a form of policing that reportedly inspires high levels of trust and/or legitimacy in the general public. However, it was found that Finnish police officers are currently operating under high levels of fatigue and stress. Indeed, this may be compounded by the reported dissatisfaction with certain elements of the management structure and internal communication methods. Although many of the participants in this research appeared to have intentions very similar to those of procedural justice, it would seem that these are coincidental rather than an institutional application of procedural justice theory.
