The Irish Times (Republic of Ireland) 19/6/2021 News A Case For Trans-Local Police Governance We argue that in the present conditions of differentiated societies a preferable form of police governance and accountability should both be built upon and actively strive towards universal and trans-local criteria, rather than be built upon on some local features or idiosyncrasies. The local governance of the police appears too simple a remedy for police legitimacy and accountability since it might predispose the police to unprofessionalism and heterogeneity of standards, making it vulnerable to co-optation by powerful local interests. The article is based on our experiences of the Finnish form of police governance that has functioned quite well, partly because policing is embedded in the Nordic welfare state model, which strongly supports citizens’ universal rights and social equality. However, the ideas put forward are urgently needed in differentiated societies, characterized by increasing socioeconomic inequality and multiple sources of cultural identity and belongingness. For us the concept of spatial representation appears to be a fundamental aspect in all governance. European Journal of Criminology - Registration at source 19/6/2021 Research article Armed Drones and Ethical Policing: Risk, Perception, and the Tele-Present Officer Ethical analysis of armed drones has to date focused heavily on their use in foreign wars or counterterrorism operations, but it is important also to consider the potential use of armed drones in domestic law enforcement. Governments around the world are already making drones available to police for purposes including border control, criminal investigation, rescue missions, traffic management, and the monitoring of public assemblies. Unarmed and controlled remotely, these camera-equipped aircraft provide a powerful and mobile surveillance capacity that can be highly effective in detecting suspicious activity and guiding police operations. In addition, for situations where criminal violence presents a danger to public safety, some governments appear to be readying their police to neutralize threats using drones that are also equipped with weapons. In anticipation of that potential development, this article discusses whether or how police should use armed drones. It applies some of the established ethical principles on police use of force (necessity, proportionality, and precaution), and it explores some of the challenges a drone-using, “tele-present” police officer is likely to face in seeking to adhere to those principles. Criminal Justice Ethics 19/6/2021 Research article Using Big Data to Prevent Crime: Legitimacy Matters This study uses a citizens’ awareness survey to gauge the impact of crime prevention initiatives based on big data. Crime prevention activities using large datasets inevitably involve reasonable concerns over: (a) the excessive concentration of information power to law enforcement agencies and (b) possible privacy violations by the state. This study explores the trends in this area through the application of the police legitimacy theory. It aims to gather insights into the use of big data to strengthen preventive responses to crimes by law enforcement agencies while also considering the citizens initiatives based on big data abuses. The survey conducted by the Korean Institute of Criminology in August 2015 was used for analysis through structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that, among important factors in police legitimacy theory, three primary items drew support for crime prevention activities based on big data: “distributive fairness,” “lawfulness,” and “effectiveness.” These overshadowed the “procedural fairness” variable, which has been emphasized in previous police legitimacy studies.
