Holyrood Magazine 17/6/2025 News Guiding police decisions or falling short? A critical theoretical review of the national decision model Police decision-making is complex, marked by risk, high stakes, uncertainty, and time pressure. The National Decision Model (NDM), developed by the College of Policing, aims to standardise and improve decision-making within UK police forces. While its ethical framework has received some academic attention, the NDM’s effectiveness in supporting decision-making across varied policing roles is largely unexamined. This article critically reviews the NDM’s foundations, evolution, and practical application, highlighting key limitations and the need for further research to determine its real-world efficacy. Without robust empirical validation, the NDM risks falling short in guiding officers through the demanding realities of modern policing. The Police Journal: Theory Practice and Principles 17/6/2025 Research article Benefits and barriers: An exploratory study of drone use and LiDAR technology application in UK policing Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have become essential tools in various policing tasks. This mixed-method, exploratory study investigates their use and development in United Kingdom (UK) policing, in general operational and forensic contexts. Data were collected via Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) requests sent to 45 UK police services. The findings indicate that although drones can improve operational efficiency and situational awareness, their integration into forensic settings is hampered by excessive costs, insufficient training, and procedural and regulatory constraints. The study suggests that targeted policy reforms could enhance drones’ utility, broadening police capabilities in routine operations and non-invasive complex investigatory work. Recommendations for policy and practice include developing standardised operating procedures, specialised training programmes, cost-mitigation strategies, public transparency measures, and the piloting of programmes to develop advanced sensing [such as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)] and emerging technologies. The article provides insights for police agencies beyond the UK, aiming to advance their drone capabilities for both routine policing and forensic contexts.

BBC 17/6/2025 News Scientification through privatization: POL-INTEL in Denmark Based on the empirical case of the POL-INTEL platform used by the Danish police, which is a customized version of Palantir Technologies’ Gotham platform, this article traces the interrelation between scientification and policing in the digital era as articulated in and through a private actor. Ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, publicly available policy documents as well as documents detailing police practices, organization, ambitions and workflows are used to problematize digital policing platforms and practices in terms of wider criminological theories and models. We show that POL-INTEL epitomizes a historical trajectory of scientification through privatization by drawing together intelligence practices, market logics, and datafication methodologies. With this point of departure, we trace back how the entanglement of private actors and the police organization raises concerns about the black boxing of criminological procedures, and the delegation of decisions and knowledge within the criminal justice system to private actors lacking public values. Theoretical Criminology - Subscription at source 17/6/2025 Research article The UK failed grooming gang victims by not seeing ‘children as children’ The announcement of a national inquiry into group-based child sexual exploitation raises urgent questions: How did we end up here again? Haven’t there been enough reports? Why weren’t children protected the first time? And will these reforms actually change anything? As someone who has worked for years in safeguarding policy and research into grooming, county lines drug trafficking and child criminal exploitation, I believe this moment could be different. For the first time in years, there is political momentum, public scrutiny and survivor-led demand for change all converging. But we have to honest about how we got here.
